We are all guilty of seeing a cookbook at the store or a book sale and unrealistically believing that we can master all the recipes. I don't think I'll ever understand why I thought that I would want to master gluten-free Mexican food. Inevitably, these impulse buys are put at the back of the cabinet to gather dust.
However, one of my best and most used purchases is
Guilt Free Cooking by Taste of Home. I use this cookbook constantly because it includes everyday meals with slight adjustments that make them healthier without diminishing the taste.
Tonight I made the chicken 'n' biscuits and it was one of the best pot pie-esque creations I've ever had. The chicken and veggies were so flavorful from the Worcestershire sauce. This combined with their warmth and heartiness made it a perfect comfort food. The biscuits were dense and provided a different texture, which added complexity to the dish. It was so simple to make and one serving was only 246 calories!

I combined flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, fat-free milk, canola oil and parsley for the biscuits. |

Onion, flour, basil, thyme, pepper, fat-free milk, Worcestershire sauce, carrots, peas, corn, chicken and Parmesan cheese made up the base of the dish. |

After baking at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or until the biscuits are browned you have a delicious, comforting meal. |
