Easy Passover Lasagna
This is a "dairy" main meal for Passover that reheats well. Even the pickiest eaters love this easy lasagna recipe. Vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, and peppers can be added; steam them al dente first and add them to the layers. Italian cheese blend can be used in place of mozzarella if desired.
Chicken Piccata with Artichoke Hearts
After eating chicken piccata in many restaurants and finding many that were 'greasy,' I came up with this recipe through much trial and error. It has wonderful flavor and is even better the next day! I like to serve it over angel hair pasta or linguine.
