My daughter Chelsea is so committed to her health and fitness. She comes home every Sunday for dinner, but also to prepare her food for the week. I always marinate her grilled chicken from the day before. You can find that recipe under Chelsea's Famous Grilled Chicken. I call it her "Famous" chicken because it has made both her and ME famous where she works. She brings this for lunch every day and when she heats it up, the smell of the garlic chicken creeps through the office until everyone wants to throw out their lunches and eat hers.......I love it!!
I just received a letter from a coworker of hers explaining this everyday lunchtime occurrence. It was a fantastic letter telling me how he not only loves the smell of my chicken at the office, but how my stories on this site bring him back to growing up in an Italian kitchen as well, surrounded by family and food. He had promised to share some of his family's special recipes with me, so I will keep you posted.....can't wait.
I love hearing about other families favorite recipes. But more than that, I love that I have reminded someone of the traditions we have grown up with and continue to try to keep. Family...food...making memories. That's what it is all about!!
Thank you to Vincent for the beautiful letter.

So with that all said, you can find the chicken recipe at Chelsea's Famous Grilled Chicken and the recipe for the sweet potatoes at Spiced Up Sweet Potatoes.

You just add whatever vegetable you love.....string beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts...etc. She always likes to make it a green vegetable. She lives on this. She eats it everyday for lunch. It is full of flavor and nutrition. And definitely beautiful!!
