Chicken Cordon Bleu with a Mustard and Parm Sauce

Hello hello!!

Another weekend bites the dust and Monday is back on the radar. What did you do this weekend?

I had a relaxing weekend at Lake Gaston with my family and enjoyed some much needed R&R. A few more days off of work for New Year's this week and then it is back to work for me come 2014. What are your plans for New Years?

Today I have a delicious and satisfying recipe for you to rein in the new year with! This Chicken Cordon Bleu is a lightened up version of the typical breaded and fried Cordon Bleu you might find else ware. I have baked the chicken and added a creamy mustard sauce using skim milk and Parmesan cheese to keep the flavors up, but the unnecessary calories out.

This is a home run for a quick weeknight meal when you need dinner prepped, baked and on the table in less than an hour. Add some roasted veggies and you have quite the well rounded meal! Keep this on your New Years Resolution menu when you are craving a comforting, cheesy meal while sticking within your caloric means.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!!

The Ultimate Mac & Cheese

Hiiii! It's been so long! I miss my little blogosphere!

One word for my absence...work! The holidays are crazy at work so I have been so busy and not been able to get in the kitchen much. Aside from work is working out. During my free hours I have been making an effort to get outside and run and get a workout in. This was my view today on my run...it's hard to skip a workout when this is what I get to look at!

In preparation for the big day coming in a little more than a week, I have for you my absolute favorite recipe to date. Macaroni and cheese is one of my all time favorite comfort foods and really, who doesn't like gooey, creamy cheese hugging perfectly al' dente macaroni noodles baked to warm and steamy perfection?
