I believe that food is more than just survival, it’s about comfort, love, and bringing people together.

February 19 2025 Tuscan Chicken with Orzo, Savoy Cabbage Salad

Everyone really liked the Tuscan chicken and Michelle loved the cabbage salad.

There was still fresh dill in the fridge leftover from a couple weeks ago so I used the rest of it in the dressing for the salad.  The grocery store didn’t have any savoy cabbage so I used plain green cabbage.  It was fine.

I sauntered the corn and peas to thaw them.  When they cooled I added them to the shredded cabbage.  The dressing used one cup of Greek yogurt, a little milk to thin it, and one tablespoon of vinegar, crushed garlic, onion powder. And ½ cup fresh dill.  I used a little more vinegar (red wine vinegar because that was what I could find in the cupboard), to thin it some more.  It was really good.  Michelle really liked it and so did I.

I chose the Tuscan chicken because it called for orzo which I like.  It turned out really good.

It makes me so happy when what I cook is successful.  In fact everyone is happy.  I look around at the faces and see ease and contentment. Score!
