Tips
  • Invent Your Recipe:
  • Garlic sauteed in butter is one of my favorite ways for a quick flavorful meal. It works with just about any protein. This recipe can also work well with chicken breasts, pork chops, or a steak.
  • Zucchini, green beans, peppers and onions, and broccoli would all work really well as substitutes for this recipe.
