pasta w/ sausage & grapes

It tastes as odd as it sounds - but in a totally delicious way. Who knew?! Here's what you'll need:

  • 6 ounces mild Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups seedless red grapes, halved
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Pasta of your choice (I used fettuccine in the picture above)

lemon herb chicken

Sometimes you're not in the mood to try something crazy and different. Sometimes you just want something simple, easy and good. This actually reminded me of a quick meal my mom used to make back home. She loved her some lemon chicken on the grill. Sadly, I don't have a grill, but this is just as good. here's what you'll need:

  • 1 lb. chicken breast
  • 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pinch dried oregano
  • 2 sprigs fresh parsley, for garnish
