Delicious Chicken Florentine Recipe

This Creamy Chicken Florentine Recipe is a delicious quick and easy weeknight meal that is a cinch to make when you want something easy that also feels kind of fancy. Tender, juicy chicken breasts are gently sautéed, and then simmered in a creamy white wine sauce with shallots and spinach for an easy one-pot meal. For another quick and easy one-pot meal try my 15-Minute Chicken Dijon Recipe. This recipe pairs beautifully with my Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes or my garlic butter Smashed Potatoes....

What to do with a bumper crop of lemons?! (One of the benefits of So. cal living!) turn them into pound cake! (Once I've made more than my fill of Strawberry Lemonade!) This Lemon Poppy Seed Pound Cake recipe makes a fantastic dessert idea for any springtime occasion. A twist on my Blood Orange Pound Cake and Coconut Pound Cake recipes, this pound cake is light and fluffy and full of lemon flavor coming from the lemon zest in the cake and the scrumptious lemon glaze on top.
