Greek-Inspired Chicken Over Whole-Wheat Pasta

Monday, July 22, 2013

In case you missed it, Saturday was an extremely important day.  It was the day that THIS GIRL (the blonde)


One of my all-time FAVORITE pictures of us as the "Chuckle-Lots"!
  
was born!  I won't tell you how many years ago, because it doesn't matter.  What matters is how amazing she is and how much of an impact she has on the people around her.  I could never let her birthday go by without a little bit of fanfare.

Something else about this girl?  She's a mom.  Of three.  And is about to make that FOUR.  Crazy, right?  Nuts, right?  But she's a great mom.  And she's excited to welcome this new little one in a few months.  Apparently, though, this new little one has a taste for some healthier food, and she's looking for ideas.  As a birthday gift to her, I thought I'd post a new, easy recipe each week in order to help stock her arsenal of healthy meals.  That ok with you all?  Can I do that?  If not, too bad!  It's my blog!  ;p  

My first submission is fast (goes together in 5 minutes flat and then requires NO attention as it bakes for 30), healthy, and BEST OF ALL received the highest honor in my house:  the hubby seal of approval!  Enjoy, roommate!
