Baked Chicken Parmesan

Another Real Simple recipe...again...soooo good!
Season chicken with salt and pepper; dip in beaten egg, then bread crumbs. In batches, cook in olive oil over medium heat until golden. Pour 1-24 ounce jar marinara sauce in a large, shallow baking dish; top with the chicken, then one pound of fresh mozzarella. Bake at 400 degrees until golden, 25-30 minutes.

Mexican Meatball Soup

Made this soup last night for dinner....DELISH!! I found the recipe in Real Simple and altered it a bit.

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 c chopped chives
1c crushed tortilla chips
1/3 c chopped, fresh cilantro
1T taco seasoning
salt and pepper
3 c fresh salsa
3 t chicken base
1 avocado cut into small pieces


Mix turkey, chives, tortilla chips, cilantro, taco seasoning, salt and pepper and form into balls. Place on cookie sheet and broil about 8 minutes.
In blender puree the salsa with one cup water and chicken base. Put mixture into saucepan with an additional 2c water and bring to boil. Add meatballs, reduce heat and simmer for a couple minutes. Serve with avocado, cilantro, and tortilla chips. YUMMY!!
