Whereas, Thursday's feels completely different, it is after all ... almost the end of the working week!
... but anyway I woke up this morning feeling fine ... and didn't get too disappointed when I saw some grey clouds ... perhaps the sun may come out soon, we shall see ... but on a positive note I'm wishing everyone a Happy Tuesday...
I hope you may be feeling 'sparkling' as the image shows but if not, I hope you feel better as the day goes on ... and perhaps you may wish to consider this tasty dish for dinner tonight!

Chicken can make a tasty meal and is usually very reasonably priced, it's also one of the most popular meats around. It has a high level of good quality protein, as well as B vitamins, iron, copper and selenium, I hope you may enjoy this dish soon.

Yummy recipe, would make any day better. Valerie
Happy Tuesday and glad you're feeling fine! That looks good!
Tuesday is always a funny day!
Yours recipe looks good!
This dish looks delicious! Happy Tuesday to you too!
YUM.... That chicken dish looks delicious.... I love frozen green peas --but don't eat them much since I mostly stick with cauliflower and broccoli... Another veggie I love is Lima Beans --but don't eat it much these days.... Got any good recipes using a few Lima Beans?????
Thanks for a beautiful blog. I read it every day --and have used a bunch of your recipes (since we are low carb people and can eat many of yours)....
Have a great week.
Hugs,
Betsy
chicken is such a favorite her and this looks delicious!! i really like meals like this, mashed potatoes (i know not for you) would be so nice with this!!
...time goes fast when you're having fun!
It is early Wednesday here. A day I struggle with (for no reason I can nail) more than Tuesdays.
I hope your day and week goes well.
This looks lovely! xx
Es muy parecisdo a como y los pongo, tan sólo que en lugar de poner cebolla, le incorporo ajos. Tampoco le pongo panceta. Lo condimento con una poquita de sal, pimienta y hierbabuena y su vaso de vino, que tan buen sabor le da.
Besos
I'm feeling fine this Tuesday morning - the sun is shining and it's getting a bit warmer. Frozen peas are such a useful thing to have in the freezer. This looks like another yummy dish.

Hello Betsy,
Many thanks for your comment, question and very kind words.
You asked about lima beans, which here in the UK we often call butter beans !!
This article may help and a few recipe suggestion links follow, but I may do a separate post about these in a few days time; so watch this space :)
Marissa asked ... "I came across a recipe recently that called for “butter beans.” I’m not exactly familiar with butter beans. In the photograph that accompanied the recipe, the butter bean looked pretty much exactly like a lima bean, but was beige instead of green. Are these two beans related? I don’t really care for lima beans so I sort of hope they aren’t."
Grant at the kitchn site replied ..." Lima beans are more than just related to butter beans, they are the same thing! In the South, lima beans are often called butter beans and in the UK they almost exclusively refer to them as butter beans. It seems like a lot of people don’t like lima beans. I blame those unpleasant school lunch vegetable medleys, although I admit that lima beans can have a sort of starchy flavour that tastes sort of uncooked. Lima beans can be consumed in both their immature stage (fresh and green) as well as their mature (dried and beige). Americans tend to eat them in the immature stage mostly, but if you aren’t a lima lover, you might want to try them cooked from the dry stage, rather than the fresh. You can cook them yourself, which like all dried beans can take a long time of soaking and simmering, or you can get them canned. I find that the texture is creamier and the flavour is rich and buttery. You might surprise yourself and become a convert."

I do hope this long winded reply helps, but I must just add ...
It is important to note that not all these recipe suggestions may be suitable for you. If you may have any food allergies, or underlying health issues these must always be taken into account. If you are a diabetic and not sure how certain foods may affect your blood sugars, test is best, i.e. use a reliable meter.
Happy Cooking and Bon Appetit !
All the best Jan
I haven't bought chicken thighs in awhile and they are so tasty in so many dishes! Enjoy your day!
This sounds delicious!
This sounds so good. I need to pick up chicken thighs next time I'm at the store. I've been using the riced cauliflower in place of rice or potatoes and find it's satisfactory. I had to look up mashed swede (rutabaga), I might try mashed turnips too. As always great recipe!
It does look good
Hard to tell one day from another around here lately. They all seem to blend together.
OMGosh this looks so good.
I love how you lead into the recipe, Jan. Tuesday is just another day at my house. But I love each and every day, regardless.
Looks a lovely meal.
Wishing you and yours a Happy Tuesday and a happy every day.
God bless.
What a delicious looking recipe. Yes, I think we do feel different on certain days. I'm always pleased when Friday rolls around again.
oh this one looks absolutely compelling dear Jan
i am not mushroom fan yet i want to try it once
more blessings to your beautiful blessed world my friend!
hope sun comes out :)
Right! This is definitely dinner tonight in this house!!
A bit late for Tuesday, but it will be the perfect meal for midweek...and I adore chicken, mushrooms and peas. All huge favourites of mine, so many, many thanks!😊😊
Have a super day!
Hugs xxx
