Fagioli Al Uccelletto “Tuscan Baked Beans”

These are the beans I served with the Italian-Style Slow-Roasted Pork Roast with Oranges & Onions . They go perfectly with it. You can use canned beans instead of soaking the beans overnight, if you want to make it easier. These beans are a typical dish from Tuscany, particularly in the Florence area.

Broccoflower with Garlic, Balsamic, Basil & Parmesan

Broccoflower with Garlic, Balsamic, Basil & Parmesan

This Broccoflower with Garlic, Balsamic, Basil & Parmesan is a vibrantly colored side dish. Broccoflower is a cross between broccoli and cauliflower, two vegetables that are actually so closely related that they can be easily cross-pollinated. One type of broccoflower looks just like white cauliflower, but is lime-green in color.

Buttermilk Chicken

This is the most moist, tender chicken I have ever made. Buttermilk Chicken is a must to add to your repertoire. I have a half a carton of buttermilk in the refrigerator, so when life gives you buttermilk make this chicken! This is the most moist, tender chicken I have ever made. I did marinate it for a full 24 hours, due to the fact that I was too tired to cook the night before! I also cut the breasts in half before marinating.
