     It's still spring, the weather inevitably turns rainy and cool, so we still have some indoor cooking....

Sautéed Chicken Breasts with Bacon and Mushrooms

Total time: 30 minutes
    One cannot go wrong with mushrooms and bacon.... A bit decadent, perhaps, but life is for living. My bacon is very lean, so I have to sauté it in oil.  Use it or not, as needed.

Sautéed Chicken Breasts with Bacon and Mushrooms Ingredients:

 Instructions:

Roasted New Potatoes

Total time: 35 minutes
  New potatoes are very thin-skinned, immature potatoes.  They have a short shelf life, usually only a few days before they start turning green and need to be added to the compost pile.  You probably can only get them at the farmer's markets - but try, if you can.  They're worth it.  If not, substitute the small 'creamer' potatoes.

Glazed Carrots and Onions

Total time: 30 minutes
  A bit of sugar emphasized the natural sweetness of the carrots.  If you have a rippled knife it makes these quite pretty.
