How is it June already?! Instead of saying that May was really busy (I’m learning that life is just really busy) I’m just going to say that May was another typical month at our house. We started out May with a 1 and 1/2 week trip to California that began with us driving up highway 1 from LA to SF in a convertible! I’m working on a blog post and a photo book about all of the fun things we did and all of the yummy things we ate. I’ll leave you with a picture of this sandwich we got while in SF. It’s a grilled cheese sandwich with macaroni and cheese…

Healthier Skillet Chicken Parmesan
I love meals that are quick and easy to get on the table and dirty as few pans as possible. I also love chicken parmesan, but I don’t love the calories that usually go with it.

To make this recipe even easier, feel free to substitute your favorite jarred marinara sauce for the recipe I have listed below.
