Chicken Breasts with Raspberry-Balsamic Sauce

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve last blogged. Admittedly, it’s been a few weeks since we actually cooked a dinner that required a recipe. April has been full of travel, running and other fun evening plans.

Tonight we had plenty of time to cook dinner although this recipe really doesn’t take much time at all. I got it from my mom and she found it in Good Housekeeping. Chicken Breasts with Raspberry-Balsamic Sauce is healthy, quick and full of flavor.

We followed the recipe exactly except for substituting half an onion for the shallots. We served it with couscous and roasted asparagus.

Beef Tagine with Butternut Squash

Tonight’s dinner was a success.  We made Beef Tagine with Butternut Squash from Cooking Light.

We followed the recipe using an onion instead of shallots and fresh ginger instead of dried. And we added in chopped dried apricot and prunes as well.  The result was so flavorful with a bit of heat.  I definitely recommend this recipe as it was easy to make and tasted delicious.
