~Confetti Rice is a side dish that I developed for a family that would order very healthy meals each week.  I was just starting my Personal Chef business & I was trying to come up with fresh, flavorful & exciting low-fat meals & side dishes.  This dish is full of flavor with fresh dill & green onions. The great thing about this dish is using seasonal veggies.  Confetti rice doesn't always have the same vegetables, but the veggies vary in color & are diced small.  Using chicken stock instead of water adds to the flavor of the dish!  This can also be made with brown rice, couscous, or quinoa (for a gluten free side dish).   

   Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches with Cookies from Once Upon A Cookie......

     I have been working on some dessert ideas that are unique, fresh & fun...for the kids & the adults!  Personally,  I am not a huge dessert fan,  but there are a few desserts that have crossed my path that I hold dear to my heart.  This is one of them!   I used to eat these on the Ocean City Boardwalk (they were the kind that were packaged & sold from a bicycle ice cream cart!) 
      I have fallen upon the most delicious cookies from 'Once Upon a Cookie'.  The cookies are heavenly and incredibly sturdy to use for these ice cream sanwiches.  In the photos, the cookie on the left is made with the chocolate chip cookie & the cookie on the right is made with the oatmeal raisin cookie (my personal favorite!)  I will be trying experimenting with different cookie & ice cream flavors ~ stay tuned!

     mustard sauce...delicious!

Piccata ~ Chicken, Turkey, Veal, Flounder or Talapia

~Chicken Piccata~

This is NOT your average Piccata!

Chicken Piccata is usually dredged in seasoned flour,  & then

cooked in a little oil. The flour allows the meat to absorb the piccata sauce when you pour the sauce over the chicken. 

To grill the meat, makes this meal a bit of a lighter version   

   of Picatta.  It is a rich sauce in flavor, but light in texture with

   capers & fresh lemon zest.
