My wonderful mother-in-law got me a subscription to Taste of Home magazine for Christmas. It’s a magazine that is entirely recipes, and a lot of them are easy ones– the kind that don’t take hours to make. In my first copy, there was a recipe for Speedy Chicken Marsala, and I tried out the recipe. I had to make a few tweaks, as I didn’t have the exact ingredients, but I was quite pleased with the outcome. I thought I’d share the recipe here, as I love finding yummy, quick dinners for my family.

January 21: Menu Plan Monday
Posted onWell, we did fairly well around here last week with our menu plan. We’ve actually had more leftovers and extras than I thought, and I’m wondering if we should have 2 leftover days each week. I don’t know how many most families have, so I’m going to be visiting others menu plans today. I am still traveling for work 2 days a week until the end of the month, and I have a hard time mustering up the energy to cook when I get home. Thanksfully MM is willing to take over dinner those days, or other evenings if Monkey has kept me too busy. Even though we’ve varied our dinner plans slightly from our meal plan for the last two weeks, having a written out meal plan for dinner has greatly reduced my stress in the evening, and has helped with being more organized in our grocery shopping! Here’s what for dinner at the Tossed Salad house this week:
- Monday: Crockpot Chicken Parmesan with angelhair pasta (Trying something new!)
- Tuesday: You are on your own/Leftovers
- Wednesday: Hamburgers and edamame
- Thursday: Chicken Marsala (Adapting new recipe for crockpot, recipe post will follow!)
- Friday: Flank Steak, asparagus and mashed potatoes (Recipe post will follow!)
- Saturday: Leftovers/ you are on your own
- Sunday: Lemon Garlic Crockpot Chicken with rice
Sweet Treats:
- Milky Way Cookies
- Mrs. Peterson’s Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies (Information to follow!)
Lemon Garlic Crockpot Chicken
Posted onMM has made a New Year’s resolution to lose weight and is trying his hand at the Atkins diet. It worked pretty well before our wedding, and I believe he lost between 15 and 20 pounds. He’s done quite well over the past two weeks, but it can be challenging to merge a low carb diet with my tween athlete’s caloric needs. Over the weekend, MM and I were talking about this week’s dinner plans, and I suggested that we make one of our newer family favorites: “That chicken dish with oregano and lemon.” I don’t really know the official name of the dish. I originally got the recipe from allrecipes.com, but have subsequently altered and played with the recipe a bit. It’s very tasty, so I thought others might want to try it out.
