Hairy Dog Kitchen is a name I started using last year to trademark my Christmas gifts to friends that came from my (not so hairy) kitchen. After Christmas the name sort of stuck. It is inspired by my two very hairy children, Griswold (a spontaneous St. Bernard) and Lola (a kooky Shepherd/Bulldog mix).
Cooking is something I love to do and I pride myself on making most of my recipes healthy using local, organic ingredients when I can find them.

Chicken Scallopini with Broccoli Rabe
From Cooking Light Magazine. This dish is quick and easy and tastes great!
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast cutlets
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon butter
1 pound broccoli rabe (rapini), cut into 3-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
4 lemon slices (optional)
Preparation
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Combine breadcrumbs and pepper in a shallow dish; dredge chicken in breadcrumb mixture. Add chicken to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from pan; keep warm.
Add wine, broth, juice, and butter to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in broccoli rabe; cover and cook 3 minutes or until broccoli rabe is tender. Stir in parsley and capers. Serve chicken over broccoli rabe mixture. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired.
First off, let's get one thing straight: I am not a professional cook. I simply love to cook and I do so all the time.
I live with my husband and partner in healthy living, John. Together we grow an organic garden where we get many of the ingredients needed for my cooking. When the garden is not in season, or doesn't have what I'm looking for, we shop at the local farmer's market and buy as many local ingredients that we can. We also like to pick most of our fruits at local farms in the summer. Living as organic and local as we can is not only good for our health, but our environment as well!
I have two dogs, Griswold and Lola who are John and I's adopted children. They are partners in crime and LOVE to sneak scraps of food that have fallen to the floor in my cooking frenzy and therefore are officially banned from the kitchen during cooking times (no one wants dog hair in their food!).
I am lactose intolerant so most of the foods I make do not contain dairy, however, I do cook with dairy on occasion as long as I have a lactose pill on hand!
