Last week, I attended a cookbook signing at Melissa’s Produce with Yasmin Fahr, featuring her first cookbook "Keeping it Simple".
Her cookbook features delicious, fresh and simple recipes with easy weeknight and one pot meals. Some of the dishes we tasted from the cookbook: Bake Feta, Mushrooms and Ricotta Toast, Lemony Orzo with Prawns, 30 Minute Green Chicken Chili and Lemon Saffron Chicken Kebabs.
To learn more about Yasmin Fahr and to purchase her cookbook: KEEPING IT SIMPLE
My favorite was the 30-Minute Green Chicken Chili so I made this over the weekend ( recipe below). The flavor was amazing and it’s one of those dishes I will make over and over again. Special thanks to Melissa’s for the produce to make this delicious dish!
AND I was so excited to win a beautiful wine and exotic fruit basket for their social media contest during the event. If you're looking for specialty produce and what's in season, check out the website for Melissa's.
