When I first set out to make French Onion Soup, I didn’t know where to start. And my husband has never been a fan, so I haven’t made it much. I looked at just about every resource I could find on the internet (recipe collection sites, food blogs, etc.) and several cookbooks in my kitchen. What came to be was, in my opinion, some pretty tasty French Onion Soup. Now, I would like to say that this was the soup that turned my husband back on to French Onion Soup, but, alas, he wouldn’t even try a spoonful. Still, if French Onion Soup is your thing, you’ll have to try it because I think you’ll find it very good.
We tried this dish in early January, completely outside of tomato season. My family was quite approving of this quick chicken dish. I can only imagine just how much better it will taste in the summer, cooked on a grill! Oh, summer… Seems like it’s just so far away.
Regardless, this is a flavorful dish that can be prepared and put on the table in less than 30 minutes, which is my kind of dish these days! Add a side of hot couscous (which cooks in a mere 5 minutes!), and it’s a meal! I can imagine that a nice lettuce or spinach salad would complement the chicken quite well, too.

Sorry for the delay in posting my menu plan! I was out of town on Sunday, returned early Monday evening, and just got some time to sit down at my computer.
I am going to have to actually make a trip to the grocery store this week… I need to buy some fresh fruits and veggies to make baby food for my daughter. When I got home today, all I had on hand was a few sweet potatoes and some apples. So, I baked the sweet potatoes, and made some homemade applesauce for her. However, I think she might want a few other things in her diet this week 
Again this week, I am planning general meals, without specifying which day so that I still have some flexibility. I actually put together the Twice-Baked Potatoes tonight (after the applesauce!) and put half in the refrigerator for tomorrow, and the other half in the freezer for later. My husband has been begging for me to make these with bacon, and he will get his wish!
