The chicken breast is seasoned simply with salt, pepper, fresh lemon zest and dried basil. The chicken breast is plated whole, then topped with everyones favorite, Caesar salad. If you’re more of a chopped salad eater. You can chop the chicken and toss to mix in with the salad along with smaller croutons. The Caesar salad is also delicious served with grilled shrimp, steak and salmon. The Caesar dressing is my go-to and tastes just like traditional Caesar dressing which uses a raw egg yolk to make it creamy....
Tips and Tricks Use a splatter screen while you cook the ham. It may splatter oil. Keep the heat low while the soup simmers. If it is too high, too much of the liquid will evaporate.

To make an extra creamy cheesy ham and potato soup, get a block of cheddar cheese and grate it yourself into the pot of soup or into individual bowls....

I honestly was not paying much attention to the food, but I was very hungry. So after our meal, when the waiter listed off their dessert items from memory and I heard “Lava Cake,” I ordered it, knowing it would be a safe choice. Chocolate? Check. Gooey? Check. Served with ice cream? Hopefully. This restaurant though, it’s a little extra. My lava cake was delivered in record time with some chocolatey squishy things around the edge: a fancy garnish....

Unlike many curries, this recipe only requires potatoes, green bell peppers, and spices. The potatoes and peppers are sautéed until tender and infused with the spices, resulting in a savoury and slightly spicy flavour profile....
Not wanting to creep him out, I had no choice but to say yes, and curse myself later. There was no time to stop by the supermarket – whatever I was going to make had to come from what I already had in my tiny kitchen. Being a student, with almost empty pockets at the time, didn’t allow me to have an overstocked pantry. All I found, that I actually thought I could use, was a can of chickpeas....
