Tomato and Asparagus Stuffed Chicken
Making mistakes looks good on me. I think. So there I was, in the kitchen, apron tied, wine poured, music seeping in from the next room. I was going to make some chicken and asparagus rolls with a Greek yogurt dipping sauce, dangit! Things were going swimmingly. I'd pounded out my chicken, prepped my asparagus and tomato, minced my garlic. La dee da da da. Right? I seared my chicken on one side. Perfecto. Je dig. I sautéed a little gar... Read More

Chicken Kiev and Kale Pockets
When I get hungry, I get reaaaaaaal hungry.I think “hangry” is the appropriate term. And when I’ve reached hangry level, I need to get food in my belly as soon as possible or else... well, it’s not a pretty sight, that’s what.My friends and family know this well. My maid of honor even alluded to it in her speech at my wedding, warning my brand-new husband that if snacks are not packed for a road trip, it could be a long drive (true stor... Read More
Slow Cooker Coconut Curry Ginger Chicken
Get cloooooser to the curry. You're getting very sleeeeepy. Yesssss. I know it seems like it's almost time to put the slow cookers away, but guess again, chilly cheese fries. We ain't done yet. Actually, I like to use my slow cooker year-round, but that's neither here nor there. Well, I guess it's here, since I brought it up. And there, if you consider your house to be that part. So I guess it's really here and there if you think about it.... Read More
Green Chile Chicken
After a lot of deliberation and careful thinking, I decided that green is my favorite color to eat. Red used to be the winner, but fresh herbs and greens have slowly replaced the red sauces I loved growing up. I’m pretty sure that Thai green curry pushed green over the edge for me! Today’s recipe is a twist on a Thai green curry that is super healthy and easy to make. The sauce in this Green Chile Chicken recipe is luxurious and creamy, w... Read More
French Onion Chicken with Gruyere
Holy moly! Mamma mia! Hot dang! Winner winner, chicken dinner! Mmmkay, you get the picture – this French Onion Chicken with Gruyere is DELISSSHUS.

Which shouldn’t be a problem. Alrighty, then – onward!   In a humungous skillet (or just a large one)... Read More
5 Days of Make-Ahead Lunches
Maaaaan, I don’t know about you, but lunch is the saddest meal of my day. Generally, it consists either of whatever’s left over from dinner the night before or an amalgamation of whatever’s in my fridge that’s about to die. One time that resulted in a salad with tuna, string cheese and ranch dressing on top (it was a low point). But no more, say I! I hereby declare henceforth that lunch shall be tastier, healthier and satisfying-er. A... Read More
Hut, Hut, Hoisin Wings!
There’s a little sporting event called The Super Bowl right around the corner. Turns out there is some sort of national chicken wing shortage – which is weird because normally they are the cheapest thing in the store. Anyway, you might pay a bit more for your wings for the Super Bowl this year so be sure to do them right! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-XLKXinEv4 These Hoisin Glazed Wings are not your standard spicy wing. They... Read More
Fire Roasted Tomato Chicken Pasta
This pasta makes me think of a Jackson Five song. A B C! Easy as one, two, three! As simple as do re mi, A B C, one, two, three, baby, you and me girl! Ya know? Because it's only three ingredients? Actually in total it's five. Six if you include salt. Seven if you include pepper. Okay, eight if you include olive oil. But I don't ever include salt and pepper as ingredients. I mean, they ARE ingredients. And vital ones at that. But in the sp... Read More
Chicken Saltimbocca Bites
When it comes to classy dishes, in my mind it’s pretty hard to beat chicken saltimbocca.Not only does it look elegant and beautiful, it also delivers in the taste category.Normally, I just layer prosciutto on chicken breasts, sear them, and serve them whole, but I thought it would be fun to make wraps out of the same materials. And chicken saltimbocca bites were born!These little bites are rich so I thought it would help to serve them with some... Read More
