National Linguine Day: Creamy Chicken and Asparagus Linguine
September 15th is National Linguine Day. I didn’t eat much linguine as a child but I am learning more about its ability to handle different types of sauces and vegetables. Isn’t this pretty? Today’s recipe is Creamy Chicken and Asparagus Linguine. There’s a creamy cheese sauce with tsasty chicken and bright asparagus — all of which makes it a filling but flavorful meal. Note for cooking: Transferring the cooked linguine directly into the skillet with the chicken and asparagus (from the pot it was prepared in) adds just enough of the cooking liquid to help thicken up the sauce while eliminating the need to drain and rinse the pasta.

The Rebooted Mom MD’s First Ever Fourth of July Cookout Round-Up
Summer is finally in full swing and the Fourth of July is not that far away. I think this Fourth of July is going to be EPIC! Why, you ask? Well, we are coming out of a year-and-a-half-long LOCKDOWN. The Fourth last year was celebrated indoors or on ZOOM. And while we are all grateful for ZOOM, it wasn’t the same. Now, restrictions are being lifted especially for those who have been vaccinated. I expect people are going to try to do it up! Need more evidence? Once the CDC and local, state, and federal governments eased regulations, didn’t a bunch of our fellow citizens hop on planes to see…

More Soup Month: Sous Vide Chicken and Bok Choy Soup
It’s still Soup Month! Sous Vide Chicken and Bok Choy Soup is another soup recipe for these winter months! And it uses a cool cooking technique called sous vide (under pressure). In sous vide, the food is typically vacuum-sealed in a bag and cooked to a precise temperature while in a water bath. Sous vide can also refer to simply precision cooking in a water bath without a vacuum bag as well. In either version, it is difficult ( possible if you leave it in the bath too, too long!)to overcook the food with this method because the temperature cannot get any higher than the one you select. Also, the…
