Parmesan Chicken Salad with Creamy Italian Dressing

Parmesan Chicken Salad with Creamy Italian Dressing

I love salads but loathe bottled dressing. I think people use them because they do not realize just how easy it is to make your own Creamy Italian dressing to keep in the fridge.

Serve this tender, fall-off-the-bone meat with sauteed Swiss chard or zucchini. It is very easy but the flavors are really deep and flavorful. Steak in the style of the pizzamaker.

Eggplant Ricotta Bake

Eggplant Ricotta Bake

This version eliminates the 'frying' step, instead the eggplant is roasted, which concentrates the flavor. While not traditional, I love the added ricotta 'lasagna' layer that serves as the protein. I like the eggplant to shine, so I do not add too many herbs or spices. A wonderful dish!
