Way to go, Daphne. I bet your bread was yummy! I made a loaf of Hawaiian Sweet Bread in my machine a few weeks ago, but I took the easy way out and bought a box of the bread machine mix. But, it was still really good. Ken makes bread in his machine weekly for their use. I don’t think they buy bread at all.

Comment on Okey-Dokey, Artichokey! by Kim

I’ve always loved artichokes, but the canned kind, and mostly in dip form. I picked up 2 artichokes on a whim from Trader Joe’s last week and both hubby and I liked eating them! We dipped in lemon butter and they were delicious, but I worry that I’m eating more butter than anything else (yes, I love butter).

Love your post. I haven’t try eating raw artichoke before, but my favourite way of cooking them is baking whem with cheese. Thanks for sharing a good story.

Comment on Quick Chicken “Alfredo” by nourishfamily

When you consider that a similar meal at a restaurant has about 1500 calories, 98g fat and 115g carbs you can see how much lighter this recipe is! Less than 500 calories for a complete meal is going to be okay for most people. This recipe is made with 1% milk and has no added butter or oil so most of the fat comes from the Parmesan. You could cut back on the Parmesan, which would also lower the sodium. You could also have a smaller portion size. Remember, it is not what you eat at a single meal that is important, but how things add up over a period of days. I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!

Sounds delicious, DK, but isn’t the calorie count, sodium and carbs a bit high? Can you suggest any way to lower these? I love the ldea of adding broccoli to it for a one dish dinner.

Comment on Apricot Chicken by nourishfamily

I say in the directions to “whisk together preserves through hot sauce”, so all the ingredients in the list from preserves on down to the hot sauce. Sorry if that wasn’t too clear!

Just a quick question — am I missing something, or did you leave out some of the ingredients in the directions. I’m sure it’s me… I would like to try to make it but I don’t see the dried apricots, cider vinegar, curry, etc. in the directions. Thanks!
