Tuesday Topics: 5 recipes

My top recipes happen to be these homemade oreos and the world's easiest peanut butter cookies.

Here's my family's classic go-to-dinner recipe of Chicken Marsala (sorry, I don't have a picture).


-3/4 cup all purpose flour
-2 tsp. course salt
-1/2 tsp. ground pepper
-4 boneless chicken breasts
-3 T. extra virgin olive oil
-4 T. unsalted butter
-10 oz. white button mushroom
-2 cup sweet Marsala wine (I use white wine vinegar)
-1 clove of garlic
-3 T. squeezed lemon juice
-2 T. finely chopped parsley

Combine flour, salt, pepper in a large shallow dish, set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour, tapping off excess, set aside. Add 3 T. of oil to the skillet. When oil is shimmering add chicken and cook until light browned. Put the chicken in a plate and set aside.

Then, heat 2 T. butter in the same skillet. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden and all released liquid is evaporated.

Remove skillet from heat and add wine (or vinegar). Return skillet to heat, scrapping any brown bits with a wooden spoon. Add garlic, lemon juice, remaining 2 T. of butter and parsley. Cook for two minutes till reduced and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust as needed. Pour sauce over chicken and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

I remember my mom making this dish whenever we had company over growing up. It's always a very special to me when I make it for company too.

Add some rice and there you have it! Your dinner guests will be asking for seconds and thirds!

Now for the recipes I want to try: 

The Pioneer Woman's Monkey Bread

My Baking Addiction's Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifles

While I did include one dinner recipe, you can tell at my house, it's all about dessert! 

What are you planning on making this holiday season?
