Don't Ever Give Up. . .

So... it all started when I read a few recipe titles to my husband to choose something that sounded delicious for dinner tonight.  My mom gave me this recipe that was in the newspaper from a local restaurant in town.  It was for "Chicken Caprese." 

I should have known it was going to be a tough time in the kitchen when I tried not once, but THREE times to make a roux.  That's never happened to me before!  Then for some crazy reason I didn't use a non-stick pan and the chicken stuck to the pan when I was pan frying.   I sat on the kitchen floor, almost in tears when my husband came over to ask what happened.  He offered to order Chinese and forget the dinner.  It was then when I thought how could I give up?  I have never given up on a recipe.  I atleast have to try it before throwing it out.  So, I plugged along and completed the recipe to find nothing short than one of the most delicious dinners we have had! I was so happy that I finished until the end.  After we finished up dinner, I went through the garbage to find the crumbled up recipe that I had thrown out.  I was so aggrevated with the whole thing that before even trying it, I threw the recipe out!  But now this will be kept with all the other treasured recipes. 

Here is the recipe- http://www.projo.com/food/chefssecret/fd-chefs_secret_luigis_01-12-11_A6LR25M_v11.3881e0b.html

Try it... you won't be disappointed!!!
