Chicken Marsala, the Low-Fat Healthy version :)

I've finally motivated myself to get in shape and eat healthier. I'm not going to let myself quit! I just finished my first week of daily workouts, and I'm finally starting to feel the effects of more energy. Being a mom wears you out so even if I don't lose some weight, the extra energy will be worth my effort. Working out alone will not help me get back to pre-baby weight that I desire(go ahead and point it out, that was over four years ago E), so it's time to start making healthier meals too. Not that I don't LOVE the French cuisine that Julia Child has been teaching me, but all the butter and oil doesn't help my situation. So onto the health websites to search for some yummy sounding meals. This one I found from womenshealthmag.com, a low-fat Chicken Marsala, oh yea! Lets see if it lives up to the taste of the full fat version. :D

Brie & Mushroom Tuna Steaks

WOW, has it really been a month since I've cooked for the blog? May has been a whirlwind of a month. We've had lots of ballet activities, a trip out of town, and celebrated Marley's 4th birthday. I threw her a cowgirl party this year. I learned after her first birthday and the ridiculous menu I came up with to start keeping the parties simple. So no blog meal for her birthday since I'm sure you all know how to grill hot dogs and serve store bought effortless sides. HAHA!
So now that summer is unofficially here (marked by Memorial Day,) it's time to share a dish I learned one summer years ago while I was attending Culinary Art classes through the University of Richmond. Brie & Mushroom Tuna Steaks, need I say more?! And it's surprisingly simple.

Fish Filets Poached in White Wine with Mushrooms & Cream Sauce

Filets de Poisson Bercy aux Champignons & sauce à la crème

"Most of the famous French Dishes involving filet of sole center around fish poached in white wine and coated with a lovely, creamy sauce made from the poaching liquid." - Julia Child

Say no more Julia... throw it over some pasta and I'm in! Tonights dish was very easy, although when I was reading through the recipe and got to the 'Butter brown paper' part, I was wondering if it was going to more difficult than I first anticipated. But it wasn't... just a few simple steps  & in about 15 mins you'll be eating dinner.
