*This Lemon Caper Chicken Cutlet Recipe is a paid sponsorship between The Tipsy Housewife & Cento Foods. Lemon Caper Chicken Cutlets with Anchovies Several years ago I went to an Italian restaurant and was introduced to a fantastic appetizer called Bagna Cauda. It is a warm butter and olive oil dip with garlic and salty anchovies. Now I know that anchovies aren’t a fan favorite with a lot of people but they are delicious with Lemon Caper Chicken Cutlets. If you haven’t tried them, you are missing out. Anchovies remind me of prosciutto of the sea. They are dry, salty…

It is FINALLY Summer here in the Midwest and in my house it wouldn’t be Summer without a great Italian Sausage Sandwich from the grill. Except of course when you can’t figure out how to put on the new propane tank.

The good news is I was still able to make this Italian Sausage Sandwich on the stove, in my cast iron skillet and…

While I enjoy going to unique restaurants and food destinations, one of mine and Mr. Tipsy’s favorite places to eat out occasionally is the Olive Garden. Sometimes I go just to have the salad and bread sticks. For some reason that salad just hits the spot. I wanted to recreate it at home and that is how I came up with the recipe for this Simple Salad with an Easy Creamy Italian Dressing. I took everything I love about that Olive Garden salad and made it my own. This salad makes a great dinner and an especially great lunch. The…

I love a good Chicken Parmesan dish, but frankly it’s A LOT of messy work to make it. Made the traditional way, it’s definitely not a recipe for a busy work week. So what do you do when you’re craving this dish and don’t want the fuss that comes with making it? You make a Cheater Chicken Parmesan and that is this week’s Tipsy Tuesday Tip. I got creative and did a little food research and came up with what I think is a pretty solid representation of the dish. All you need are a few simple ingredients. I got…

Being from Chicago, Italian Beef Sandwiches are a staple in our diet. I have so many favorites and I like each one for different reasons. Everything makes a difference in the making of a good beef. The seasoning, the quality of the meat, the spice, the heat and the bread. The main reason why I love Italian Beef’s are because of the gravy soaked bread. There are even some beef stands in Chicago where you can JUST get a gravy bread. They take the Italian bread and soak it in the beef au jus and it is a delicious soggy…
