Recipe Review

As promised, I’m beginning a new series, Recipe Review.  I have a large selection of recipes that I want to try, but just never get around to actually executing…can you relate?  I’m hopeful that a new series will help motivate me to add some new favorites to our family repertoire and I hope you’ll join me in the journey.  I’m looking for easy, kid friendly recipes with a dose of healthy.  Please contact me if you’d like me to try out one of your favorites.

I’m using the Ziplist app and it made shopping a total snap.  I clipped the recipe this week from Martha Stewart Everyday Food and used the app on my iPhone in the store to make certain I had all of the ingredients.  If you don’t have this app yet, please check out my review of it and then go give it a try.  I want to be clear this is a Martha Stewart recipe and not mine, so I’ve included a link to it below and you can get the recipe directly from her site.

This week I made Chicken Tenders Parmesan with Broccoli and Penne with a few minor tweaks.  First, I dipped the chicken in milk instead of egg before coating with breadcrumbs because my youngest has an egg allergy.  Second, the broccoli at the market looked fabulous so I went with fresh instead of frozen.  Third, I used the whole grain penne pasta.

Now for the review:  No brainer.  Easy to make, inexpensive and a crowd pleaser.  As my 8 year old said, “how can you go wrong with cheese and red sauce?”    The chicken remains very tender and the veggies are an easy bonus.  I would definitely make this again and it is an easy weeknight fix because we usually have all of these ingredients on hand.
