Crossing Off Recipes!

Above are "Lemon Chicken with Croutons" from Barefoot in Paris and "Frozen Key Lime Pie" from Barefoot Contessa Family Style.

These are both great, easy recipes that I'm happy to have made for the first time. The Key Lime Pie can last for several days in the freezer so it's great to make ahead or just leave in the freezer to eat piece by piece each night. ;) The chicken is a winner dinner for sure. You might have everything you need to make it in your pantry already, besides the chicken and the baguette. The chicken is juicy and flavorful and the croutons soak up all of the tastiness.

In my first post I said I was starting this journey with the Barefoot Contessa At Home book. I am changing my course in order to find sooner success. My focus is now to complete the recipes in the Back to Basics book. Here are my counts of # of recipes left in each category:
