Hi friends! Hope everyone is enjoying a great weekend! We finally have \u00a0beautiful weather this weekend, literally might be the first all summer that it was sunny, warm but not humid and actually pleasant. Other than that, its been a bit of a bust in my opinion. Stunned to see how much “back to school” and fall clothing there is out there…..not quite ready to say goodbye to summer yet though I do love<\/em> my fall:)<\/p>\n

Hope everyone is enjoying a great weekend, onward to my Sunday post…..<\/p>\n

2 A DELICIOUS AND EASY CHICKEN PAILLARD <\/strong>We\u00a0make this at least once a week. It is simple, super delicious and very healthy. We have been eating it with a side of zucchini, sometimes a big garden salad, and occasionally I will make a rice pilaf for husband and\/or sons (I am trying to stay away from carbs and its working) except on occasion:) This is always a crowd pleaser-<\/p>\n

What you need-<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 pounds of chicken breats<\/p>\n

2 pats of butter and a few TBSP of olive oil<\/p>\n

5 cloves of garlic thinly sliced<\/p>\n

Salt and pepper<\/p>\n

Fresh lemon juice<\/p>\n

ripe tomatoes<\/p>\n

1\/4 chopped red onion<\/p>\n

arugula or butter lettuce (prefer arugula but don’t always have it on hand)<\/p>\n

Balsamic vinegar to taste<\/p>\n

Freshly grated parmigiana (optional) I love the flavor it gives<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to-<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a very sharp knife cut your breasts lengthwise in half. Put in a tightly sealed ziplock bag, grab your palette and gently pound away until paper thin.<\/p>\n

In a skillet add your butter and olive oil, then garlic and brown. Once browned add your chicken, each side only needs about 4 minutes on a medium heat. Meanwhile season with salt,pepper and a nice squeeze of fresh lemon as they are cooking.<\/p>\n

As you are doing this, take your arugula, finely chopped tomatoes, onion and mix together. Add salt\/pepper then olive oil and balsamic to taste. Put chicken on plate and gently top the chicken with a big. helping of the salad topping adding a final squeeze of lemon and parmigiana if you like it…bon appet\u00edt!<\/p>\n

3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST <\/strong>I had a hard time\u00a0narrowing them\u00a0down this\u00a0weekend. So many pretty ones. There is no rhyme or reason to these, just whatever strikes my fancy….<\/p>\n

4 THE NORTH FORK OF LONG ISLAND<\/strong> I had such\u00a0fun the other day, taking a much needed day off to decompress and unplug. I went out to the North Fork aka wine country. It is a beautiful spot on Long Island that has a bit of a\u00a0Napa-ish vibe with oodles of charming farms along with charming wineries. It is so enjoyable to go out there in the summer. I load up on\u00a0fresh\u00a0flowers, ripe produce and always bring home a bottle or two as a\u00a0little\u00a0souvenir. It is like an instant dose of therapy and always rejuvenates me in the best way possible. \u00a0Here are some of the highlights…<\/p>\n

And this gets its own little story- on my way home, I spotted this darling sunflower stand. I figured another bunch couldn’t hurt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So I stopped and waited for whoever was working there, after a couple of minutes, I started looking around and spotted this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It literally warmed my heart to see that some still operate on the honor system and in good faith. I was only too happy to support their business and the bonus was coming home with a few bunches of spectacular sunflowers!<\/p>\n
