This week was brutal. My cold completely knocked me out for the week. I had to clear my calendar and cancel so many appointments and commitments so I’m ending the week feeling a bit frazzled and behind. I also received some very sad news in my personal life so I’m really happy to see this week come to a close. I’m thankfully feeling better as of today so I’ll be using this weekend to play catchup.
I hope you guys have a good weekend! We’re supposed to have 70 degree weather. I’m looking forward to spending some time in the sun and also catching up with my BFF who will be in town!

I made the chicken lemon recipe tonite. It was so delicious and homey especially on this cold, rainy Monday. I made a few healthy variations. I added mushrooms, replaced cream cheese with a 50/50 blend of plain Greek yogurt and ricotta cheese, and used chick pea pasta in place of regular. It yields plenty for leftovers as well. Thank you for sharing.
This is so great to hear, Betsie! And I love that you made it your own (that’s my favorite thing to do in the kitchen these days!) While I don’t like mushrooms I may take a stab at doing your other tweaks (esp. because I already have ricotta and greek yogurt in my fridge!) Thanks so much for sharing back – makes me so happy to hear!
