Most Thursdays are Italian Inspired Suppers in our house. The moment I start planning a meal such as the one we are sharing today, Dean Martin starts singing in my head. As a girl I was a big, big fan of The Dean Martin Show.

How Do You Say Thursday in Italian?
Giovedì. Benvenuti al Giovedì. Welcome to Thursday. Unless preempted by a holiday (such as Thanksgiving) or a Religious Feast Day (Ascension Thursday), today’s supper typically reflects an Italian influence. Not necessarily authentic Italian cuisine, think more along the lines of Italian adjacent.

Choices, choices, choices. Today is Frozen Food Day, Oreo Day and a Thursday. In the past we’ve celebrated Frozen Foods Day with things like Make Now Freeze for Later Meatballs. Today isn’t so much about frozen foods as it is Italian Thursday. Although the Chicken Tenderloins were kept in the freezer until now.

Today was a tough one. It’s National Fettuccine Alfredo Day. It’s also Tijuana Tuesday. Now in our house, we could always swap out Tijuana Tuesday with Tuscan Thursday. Better still, take Fettuccine Alfredo south of the border with a little Tijuana heat.

On the National Front, today is Nutty Fudge Day. Who doesn’t love fudge? It’s been a part of my Christmas celebration for as long as I can remember. Dad made upwards of 5 pounds or more every holiday.

Today is National Chicken Curry Day. Are you a fan of anything curry? It’s one of those spices that you either love or shy away from – like saffron, it can be fairly overpowering.

Growing up, when my sisters and I were teenagers, Dad felt it was time to get us more involved in the family meal. For as long as I can remember, everyone helped. Helping was just a part of everyday family life. Helping lets children feel a sense of self-worth within the family dynamics.

Sunday Chicken doesn’t need to be Southern Fried or Roasted. Both are delicious, but sometimes we like to kick back with a creamy one-skillet supper. Easy, relaxed and delicious. This is one of those moments.

Why is it that any dish with the name Florentine contain spinach? Maybe it’s because Arab Merchants brought Spinach to Sicily over 1,2000 years ago, and the plant thrived. There are a lot of thoughts on the relationship of Spinach and Florence. Some are very romantic. Any way you look at it, spinach brightens up the plate.
Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Lemon Asparagus

Italian Dressed Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs
First off, let me say I am a big Paul Newman fan. When I was a young girl, I think he was my first Hollywood crush. But that’s not the reason I like the Newman’s Own food line. Newman’s Own does good work while making a delicious produce. The salad dressings are particularly delightful, and perfect for marinades, too.

Nugget Chicken Cacciatore
This chicken is awesome with a light pasta side, a simple toss salad and warm bread. Pour wine into jelly jars, put Dino on the record player and just say oh yeah that’s amore. I love casually elegant Italian suppers. While white wine might seem the logical choice, please think red. A nice Chianti is perfect.
