Where The Sum Is Sometimes Better Than The Parts

I'm one of those folks who reads cookbooks for fun. Sometimes I don't have the correct ingredients, so I make do. Sometimes it even tastes good. And sometimes, if I'm really lucky, a miracle happens.

Tastes Like Chicken

   

   My granddaughter is staying with me for several weeks this summer. The secondary benefit from that is that my daughter and her husband get some "we" time. And what better way to spend it than cooking for each other. Food is nurturing by definition, both nutritionally and emotionally.


   Dan made chicken picatta with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Oh Yum! I think the problem I have when I try to make this dish is that I try to cut too many corners in order to cut the calorie count. I saute the chicken instead of coating it..stuff like that. Sometimes the hit you take in flavor just isn't worth it.
