• Lemon artichoke chicken is a favorite dish of mine! I love it all different ways: chicken piccata, sheet pan lemon artichoke chicken, sauteed or any way really. My mom has been making dishes like this for years and it is one of our family favorites. I decided to make it super simple by throwing everything for dinner on a sheet pan and baking it. It doesn't get much simpler than that!

Sheet Pan Lemon Artichoke Chicken is full of flavor with fresh lemon juice, butter and garlic. You can roast some other veggies along with it such as potatoes, green beans, asparagus, broccoli or anything else you enjoy. I like this dinner because not only is it flavorful but it is also healthy and easy. Dinner will be served in no time at all!

Today, I don't just want to talk about food, I want to chat about my dogs! They have been loving Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® food from Kroger made from wholesome ingredients, especially the ones made with chicken which got my mind thinking to make a chicken dish for my family. 

You can enter this sweepstakes for a chance to win $25,000 and other prizes. You just have to register your Rachael Ray Nutrish purchase at www.nutrishfureverhome.com. Since October is adoption month which got me thinking about my dogs and how we chose to get them and what an impact they have had on our lives. 
During October adoption month, there is a campaign called Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® Furever Home™: Helping Shelter Pets Find The Home They Deserve. Supporting this campaign will help Rachael Ray Nutrish donate $250,000 to benefit shelter pets. The money will be donated into equal parts to Big Dog Ranch Rescue, ASPCA and North Shore Animal League.


Rachael’s Rescue® was created for all of the forgotten pets – the ones who might not have someone who loves them as much as they deserve. A portion of proceeds from each sale of Nutrish is donated to The Rachael Ray Foundation, which helps animals in need through Rachael’s Rescue. Through September 2017, Rachael’s Rescue has donated more than $21 million dollars to pet charities and other organizations that do good for animals. The funds are used for food, medical supplies, treatments, and more for animals in need. Many more animals around the country need help, and through Rachael’s Rescue, together we can make a difference in the lives of many four-legged friends.

We chose to get Ava right after we got married. We were living in a one bedroom apartment and Troy and I had opposite work schedules and I was alone a lot during the day. I was totally bored and we decided that we wanted a dog to love and take care of. Well, our apartment complex did not allow dogs but we thought we were slick and got one anyways. When we went to pick out Ava, we had planned to get her sister but that little manipulator weaseled her way into our hearts and never left! She was so sweet and cuddly to Troy that he said he could not put her down and had to have her!

We took her home and said "no dogs in our bed!". That night, Ava cried from her crate all night long. After that night, we let her sleep in our bed and she never has left!! We would sneak her out of the apartment so that we would not get caught but about 2-3 months later, we got caught and ended up having to move! It was totally for the best as I then got a job that helped shape my career and life was totally awesome then.

In our new house that we bought, we felt like Ava was lonely and needed a friend. We found Jaxen online and went to get him. We brought Ava along because she was the big sister and needed to like him. By the way, Ava totally tricked us and is conniving and manipulative but Jaxen is totally sweet and such a good dog. Those two are best friends forever and I am glad that they have each other. We love our crazy duo so much and can't imagine life without them (unless they are barking their heads off when the kids are sleeping- then, I'm not such a fan!).
