Is this a normal course of a person’s evolution? Little by little over the past few years, I became a person I hardly recognize. I was at an event that was attended by a number of celebrities this Monday, including Justin Timberlake. A few years ago, a JT sighting would have had me giddy as a teenager.

It was no different this year. I needed some major encouragement, inspiration, or coaxing to get back into the kitchen.

Takeout at Home: Chicken and Broccoli

For our “takeout” at home this week, we decided to do chicken and broccoli. Chicken and broccoli was among our favorite takeout items. But more importantly, I thought this dish was appropriate for Breast Cancer Awareness Month due to its cancer-fighting properties.
