I absolutely adore sauces that accompany my proteins. They just enhance the flavor of the dish. This dish is no exception, the light tempura coated chicken paired with the sweet Jasmine rice all coated with a delicious lemon sauce. I really did try to love chicken picatta, but every time I have made it my [...]

Portobello Mushroom “Steaks” with Cranberry-Port Sauce and Gorgonzola Cheese
How many ways can you use a Portobello mushroom? There are a lot, actually. Just think of this big brown mushroom as a “steak” of sorts.

A mother sauce is one sauce that you can use in multiple recipes, such as baked ziti, chicken parmigan, meatball sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, baked shells and manicotti (have I forgotten any here?) That’s why it is worth [...]
