Cookbooks are such an inspiration, I love looking through them to get inspired, I especially enjoy a cookbook with beautiful, colorful pictures. I have several Great Cookbooks!
However, it's not very often I follow a recipe... usually because I don't have all the ingredients necessary.
The other day my daughter asked me how do I just throw a meal together the way I do, my secret... start with olive oil, onions and/or garlic and chicken broth. I almost always have these on hand because they are a great start to any meal. The other night I started with this: Another secret is to add something colorful to your meal. Right now I'm loving Kale and cook it often. It needs to be cooked a bit longer than other greens but it's awesome!
After browning some chicken and setting it aside, I sauteed garlic, mushrooms, kale & olives in olive oil.
After adding the chicken and chicken broth to greens, I cooked it a bit longer and then squeezed lemon juice over the top and let it simmer.
Set over rice this was a wonderful... Simple Dish!
