Greek Yogurt Coated Chicken

May 3, 2014 by Mia Fox Leave a Comment

You’re thinking another chicken recipe? Not another. But this one using Greek yogurt, mustard and garlic is so good as well as easy, and get this…it’s healthy too.

Today, a heat wave struck Los Angeles and I didn’t want to spend a long time cooking, nor did I want to turn on my oven. I looked for ingredients that could be made simply and that I already had in the refrigerator. Best of all, this dish made my mouth happy and it didn’t taste like everyday chicken. Try it and let me know what you think.

Combine the following:

1 cup of plain Greek yogurt

2 T. dijon mustard — or if you can find it, dijon garlic mustard

2 tsp. crushed garlic

Dip the chicken (I used skinless boneless breasts) into the mixture ensuring that you get a healthy coating. Then, dip into flour. Saute in a generous portion of olive oil on medium heat until a crust forms. Turn over and continue to saute over medium heat for another two minutes. Then, turn heat to low and cover for about three minutes or until done.

The greens in this picture are a combination of shredded brussel sprouts and kale. I saute them in olive oil with a little salt, covered until tender. With a side of sliced mango, you’ve got a food network worthy plate. Enjoy!

About Laura:

Laura Howard lives in New Hampshire with her husband and four children. Her obsession with books began at the age of 6 when she got her first library card. Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley High and other girly novels were routinely devoured in single sittings. Books took a backseat to diapers when she had her first child. It wasn’t until the release of a little novel called Twilight, 8 years later, that she rediscovered her love of fiction. Soon after, her own characters began to make themselves known.

Cambria Hebert Reveals “Tryst”

April 22, 2014 by Mia Fox Leave a Comment


The next book in author Cambria Hebert’s “Take It Off” series, “Tryst,” will drop on May 16. With a cover by Mae I Design and a steamy plot line, this is one that I can’t wait to read.

Synopsis:

Sometimes all a girl needs is a little fling…

Talie Ronson needs a vacation.

From life.

Since she caught her cheating, loser husband in bed with his assistant, her life has been on a steady spiral—right into hell. Her car’s a junker, her job sucks, and her perfect, gorgeous sister likes to brag about her wonderful life every time they “do” lunch.

In an effort to salvage what’s left of her life and her sanity, she takes the advice of her kooky best friend and takes off to Topsail Island. A week at the beach, alone, is exactly what she needs to recharge, regroup, and relax.

Only, her alone time is about to get derailed.

Gavin Palmer’s favorite activity is walking around in his boxers and eating junk food. He and his neighbors have an understanding. They stay out of his business and he stays out of theirs. He lives at the beach, not for vacation, but for isolation. He’s had enough of people to last him a lifetime.

Gavin’s isolation is interrupted when his normally quiet neighbor starts disturbing his peace. He stomps across the sand to give the guy a piece of his mind… only it isn’t a guy.

It’s Talie.

She’d maddening, nosy, and talks too much.

But she’s hot and her bedroom eyes have him thinking maybe he’s had enough solitude. Maybe a week of company is exactly what he needs.

Maybe what they both need is a no-strings-attached tryst.

Add “Tryst” by Cambria Hebert to your Goodreads TBR list. TBR list.

Author Tarryn Fisher Challenges Readers

April 9, 2014 by Mia Fox Leave a Comment

mudvein
Author Tarryn Fishser admits that her latest novel, “Mud Vein,” doesn’t come with much of a description. Along with the very brief synopsis on Amazon, Fisher writes her own challenge to readers…read this story blind and then write her with an interpretation.

With 112 five-star reviews to date, I’m definitely up for the challenge.

Here’s what we do know:

When reclusive novelist Senna Richards wakes up on her thirty-third birthday, everything has changed. Caged behind an electrical fence, locked in a house in the middle of the snow, Senna is left to decode the clues to find out why she was taken. If she wants her freedom, she has to take a close look at her past. But, her past has a heartbeat…and her kidnapper is nowhere to be found. With her survival hanging by a thread, Senna soon realizes this is a game. A dangerous one. Only the truth can set her free.

Hats off to Tarryn for trying something new.

Will she take a chance on him or try to face their common enemy alone?

Chace’s magic has not yet resurfaced, and he suspects it’s because he’s meant to earn back all he callously traded away – including Skylar’s love. Before their tenuous relationship can grow, he must learn what it means to put the life of another ahead of his own. But he must learn quickly or he risks losing Skylar and those she’s destined to protect.
