Chicken

Kick-start the new year with one of these nutritious alternatives at dinner

The Herbed chicken meatballs with spaghetti dish would definitely impress my parents. My mother would love the simple yet flavourful tomato and wine pasta sauce, while my father would dig right into the meatballs and likely not say a word until after his second helping. (Correction: it would likely be three words, “What’s for dessert?”)

When my husband took his first bite of the Singapore noodles he immediately announced that it tasted 'restaurant good'. I will take that as a compliment, thank you. This is yet another easy-to-prepare weeknight dinner. In just 30 minutes, we were able to sit down to a tasty meal full of delicious, exotic flavours. I haven’t been to Singapore (yet!), but I did love these noodles. And if people in Singapore eat like this every day, then I’d like to book myself for an extended vacation to Southeast Asia.

A sort of Christmas miracle took place in our house this year: the husband, who by his own admission is a better taste tester than chef, decided he might like to try cooking with me (thank you, Santa!).
