So another weekend come and gone. BUT in the process, I found a delicious, fantastic, amazing culinary delight! But let's do this chronologically....

Friday night we had Mushroom Mozzarella Chicken... a delicious and easy dinner.

Mushroom Mozzarella Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• small onion chopped
• fresh mushrooms, sliced
• butter
• Soul Seasoning
• Mozzarella cheese
  

Directions:

In a pan, saute onions and mushrooms in butter. Once done, remove onions and mushrooms and put aside. In the same skillet, cook chicken breasts. Cook approximately 12 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Ladle onion and mushrooms on top of each chicken breast. Top with mozzarella, cover and cook another 5 minutes until mozzarella has melted.


Saturday, we had a late lunch out at 5 Guys Burgers and Fries... YUMMY! So for dinner, we snacked.

Sunday was a big day... we had my family over! Ok, so that's rare... not that we don't WANT them to come over. It's more that... we have cats and they all HATE cats. But we put the cats up, and they came over for dinner. It was really pleasant, and I tried a new recipe.

I fixed Cajun Tilapia (http://tossoff.blogspot.com/2011/08/brain-food.html) and a delicious, delightful, new recipe I'd found on www.allrecipes.com

Zucchini Herb Casserole

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup uncooked long grain white rice
• 2/3 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 pounds zucchini, cubed
• 1 cup sliced green onions
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic salt
• 1/2 teaspoon basil
• 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 1/2 cups seeded, chopped tomatoes
• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions:

Combine the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, until rice is tender.

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a shallow 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the zucchini, green onions, and garlic 5 minutes, or until tender. Season with garlic salt, basil, paprika, and oregano. Mix in the cooked rice, tomatoes, and 1 cup cheese. Continue to cook and stir until heated through. Transfer to the prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.

Bake uncovered 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.


OMGoodness!! YUMMY! I think I had more compliments on that dish than anything else, and I am soooo making it again.

Let me know if you try either of these and what ya think about them!
