Apparently famed artist Renoir’s wife Aline, pictured below at left in his painting Luncheon of the Boating Party, used to make this tasty chicken dish for Saturday open houses at their home in Montmartre. If you happen to visit Paris, be sure to stop… Read More Spring Chicken a la Renoir

This was so quick and easy I had to share! Cook a box of fusilli or other small pasta (the pasta I used was gluten-free). While that was boiling, I chopped a cucumber, half of a red onion, artichoke hearts, tomatoes and some cooked chicken and tossed them into a big bowl. I added a… Read More Greek Chicken Pasta Salad
