Tonight’s dinner was my own ”cheater” version of chicken marsala – one of Rosanne’s favorite dishes.
My version is a bit of a hodgepodge without a recipe but here my take.
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbls Olive Oil
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1 cup milk or 1/2 cup half-n-half
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup Marsala Wine (or more to taste)
- 1 tsp oregano or majorum
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 lb spaghetti or other pasta
- 2 tsp butter
Directions:
Heat olive oil in large pan with lid
Season chicken with salt and paper.
Dredge in corn starch and shake off excess
Fry chicken breast until mostly cooked through
Add onions and garlic
Saute onions and garlic
When lightly browned add spaghetti to pan
Add chicken stock, oregano, parsley, stock, marsala wine, milk, butter
Add more stock or water to cover spaghetti, if needed
Season with salt and pepper as desired
Cover with lid and bring to boil, then set heat to low
Simmer until spaghetti is almost cooked through
Remove lid, raise heat to medium and reduce sauce to consistency of your choice
Serve

Our loans are through Navient. While they have a COVID-19 notice about the internet rates being set to 0%, under their forbearance section I am not yet seeing a COVID-19 forbearance choice, so it looks like lenders are still catching up to the quickly changing policies.
Check directly with your lender for more information!
President Trump said today that federal student loan borrowers can skip their payments for 60 days. But it’s not automatic.
From the Department of Education’s press release:
All borrowers with federally held student loans will automatically have their interest rates set to 0% for a period of at least 60 days. In addition, each of these borrowers will have the option to suspend their payments for at least two months to allow them greater flexibility during the national emergency.

Another homemade meal during our isolation. Tonight was a lovely stew made with Italian Sausage, green lentils, kale, and some sliced carrots thrown in for good measure.
Recipe
Lentil & Sausage Stew
Ingredients:
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 cups coarsely chopped kale (or other leafy green)
- 1 cup dried green or red lentils, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 pound sausage, removed from casing (We also used some leftover smoked sausage, sliced and then quartered into bite size pieces)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed chili flakes (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- handful of shredded cheese (optional)
Directions:
1. Brown sausage in non-stick pan
2. Reduce heat to medium and deglaze the pan with the 1/4 cup of the chicken stock, add the garlic, chili flakes, paprika and cayenne pepper.
3. Toss in the greens and broth, heat until greens are wilted.
(Alternately, add kale near end of cooking for a different texture)
4. Add lentils and water, bring it back to a simmer and continue to cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally and season as needed with salt, pepper, chili powder, etc. to your liking. I found a pinch or two of chili powder added a nice touch with the paprika.
5. Serve, topping with shredded cheese, if desired
