Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian dish made from the very structure of Italian cuisine. Try this take on Chicken Parmesan with a side of broccoli and cheese. The chicken is grilled, not fried, and we moved the cheese to the broccoli for a simpler approach. Plus, it’s super easy to make. With prep time included, this dish requires no more than 30 minutes from start to finish.

Chicken Garlic pasta and Broccoli with Cheese

• 3 cups cooked whole wheat penne pasta (or about half of a 16 oz box)
• 1 pound thinly sliced chicken breast
• 1/2 jar of natural tomato based pasta sauce
• 4 cloves garlic, halved
• 3/4 cup grated all natural Monterrey jack and Colby cheese
• 4 cups steamed broccoli
• 5 tbsp olive oil
• Sea salt to taste
• Cracked pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, heat about 3 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add garlic and chicken. Cook chicken for about 4 minutes on each side. (If chicken is not sliced thinly, more time is required. Around 6-8 minutes)

Add sauce to chicken and garlic, and turn to simmer until pasta is cooked.

Season broccoli with salt and pepper. In a steamer steam broccoli for approximately 6 minutes. When broccoli is still hot, add a little olive oil and cheese blend on top.

Serve chicken and sauce on top on pasta, and enjoy the broccoli and cheese as a side.

Greenwashing

Aili Jokela, co-chair of Fleishman-Hillard Sustainability, a company that helps businesses “go green” states, “I think green will become as pervasive as the Internet is today.”

She is speaking of the new science of “greenwashing,” or convincing consumers to purchase a product based on the assumption that it is eco-friendly, organic, or chemical free even if it is not.

The market for green products has risen steadily over the last decade and shows no signs of stopping. Everything from food to cleaning supplies offers a better environmental option. However, this can become dangerous when the word “eco-friendly” can be slapped on the side of any cup or bar of soap on the market. If that cup will only become biodegradable under certain circumstances, and those circumstances are not provided in the landfill they’re going to, the cup will not deteriorate. What proves that this cup is “biodegradable” and who proved it?

Thus arises the question “How can restaurant owners sort through the misty illusion of products that will save our planet?” It can be a difficult and daunting process, but research, questions about products, and communication with partners and employees will get you there.

Business Owners

If your business is trying to move toward a “greener” future, there may be some uncertainty as to which products are appropriate. Try finding a site like greenbuildingadvisor.com for building products or greencertifier.com for cleaning products. Energy Star is a great partner to rely on for appliances.

Ask around. Find a business in your area that is successful in being environmentally friendly, and ask them about it. Find out what they use, and who they buy through. Then pass that information to a business owner you know. When it comes to going green, communication and working as an industry are key elements. Never underestimate the power of “word of mouth” or “grassroots” advertising, just be sure you’re going for the grass and not the AstroTurf.

Once you’ve established a new “green routine”, discuss the changes you’ve made with your employees, and how they can relate that to customers. When informing customers of how your restaurant or business is eco-friendly, employees should know and present only true information. Unintentional greenwashing is still greenwashing.

Consumer Power

If we demand products that truly impact the environment, and are not just advertised to give an eco-friendly appeal, the ultimate control of the free market lies with the consumer. As the demand for “green” products has risen over the years, so have the variety and availability of products that qualify as “green”. However, uninformed or wrongly informed consumers can have a negative impact on the planet rather than a positive. There are many great companies and websites such as greenwashingindex.com and F-H Sustainability dedicated to providing the most accurate information on organic and environmentally friendly products.

Greenwashingindex.com works to educate consumers about how they can “become more savvy about evaluating environmental marketing claims” and “hold businesses accountable.” Their site features a “voted most authentic” and “voted worst offenders” section for organic shoppers to see which companies are measuring up in terms of organic.

In 2006, when Wal-Mart announced their intention to expand their organic product selections, many consumers couldn’t wait to shop through even more choices. Wal-Mart’s decision to increase organic products was based on consumers’ increased interest in those foods.

We, as consumers have the ability to change the food market and bring reliable products that are not greenwashed into our homes. We, as human beings have the right to know the truth about the products that we buy, consume, and fill our lives with.

This is great a healthy alternative to lasagna. Add the vegetables you like to customize and get more nutrients.

• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs.
• 5 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tsp dried oregano, divided
• 1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste

In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Slice tofu into 1/4 inch thick slices, and dry pieces with a paper towel. One at a time, press tofu slices into crumb mixture, turning to coat all sides.

Heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Cook tofu slices until crisp on one side. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil, turn, and brown on the other side.

Combine tomato sauce, basil, garlic, and remaining oregano. Place a thin layer of sauce in an 8 inch square baking pan. Arrange tofu slices in the pan. Spoon remaining sauce over tofu. Top with shredded mozzarella and remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes

If every man is king of his castle, then every king should have a throne.

The Dagobert toilet from Herbeau is truly a one-of-a-kind piece that instantly identifies the royalty of the home. Constructed of solid ash, the Dagobert was inspired by the last ruler of the French Merovingian dynasty (629-639).

Dagobert was a powerful king who ruled much of what is now Europe, and established Paris as the capital of his empire.

The Dagobert stands nearly 5-1/2 feet tall and comes with a full range of accessories in a number of handpainted Moustier Polychrome finishes to complement any decor. “Le Bon Roi Dagobert” (The Good King Dagobert) plays whenever the lid is raised, and a bell sounds when the flush pull is activated.

Herbeau’s Dagobert is part of an exclusive collection of fixtures designed to make a statement. Noble homeowners can find the Dagobert at eFaucets.com along with a full line of faucets and fixtures.
