Welcome to my Blog!


I am so glad you stopped by. A couple of months ago I saw the movie Julie & Julia, where a young woman decides to take a year and make every recipe in Julia Child's French Cookbook. I enjoyed the movie very much and became intrigued. Maybe I could do something like that, so, I got out my barely used, 13 year old, Better Homes Cookbook and started flipping through. Thus began my cooking experiment.

Cooking is something I have always hated to do, it was a chore for me, not a pleasure. I am not a professional cook, and never will be, but the movie ignited a spark in me and revealed a new discovery, cooking can be fun!

I am learning that with patience, motivation, and good recipes anyone can be a good cook. Believe me, if I can do it, so can you! I hope you will experiment along with me and let me know what you think of the recipes I share.

I will post each new recipe I try along with a picture (I can't stand cookbooks that don't include pictures!) so you can see the final product. I will also share tips that I have learned along the way. For you seasoned chefs, the tips may seem like common sense, but for those of us who are dummies in the kitchen, they are epiphanies.

Happy Cooking!

Italian Chicken Wraps


This was a very easy meal that everyone liked.  Worth a try on a busy evening.


  • 6 Servings
  • Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Ingredients


  • 1 package (16 ounces) frozen stir-fry vegetable blend
  • 2 packages (6 ounces each) ready-to-use grilled chicken breast strips
  • 1/2 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
  • 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 6 flour tortillas (8 inches), room temperature

Directions


  • In a large saucepan, cook vegetables according to package directions; drain. Stir in the chicken, salad dressing and cheese. Simmer, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes or until heated through. Spoon about 3/4 cup down the center of each tortilla; roll up tightly.  I actually baked my tortillas with olive oil on them and then covered them with Italian dressing and some Parmesan cheese.
  • Yield: 6 servings.
