KEEPING IT SIMPLE WITH RECIPES FOR THE EVERYDAY HOME COOK
It’s the first Friday in June. June 2nd, to be exact. And, apparently, today is national “leave work early” day. (True story. You can look it up.) I’m never one to not honor a national holiday … or, national day … or, a made up by social media “day”. Soo … I’m leaving work early to spendContinue reading “Sheet Pan Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes”
Bowls are, as the kids say these days, the new hotness. I attended my youngest sister’s college graduation this past weekend. While joyfully celebrating, something very real was obvious: My parent’s generation still considers me young, while my sister’s generation certainly considers me the opposite. I was straddling the fence between “oh, you’re still young,” and, “is your old sisterContinue reading “Spicy Chicken Teriyaki Bowls”
Some of the best memories are made in flip flops … while eating this dish. Summer’s back. Time to make Greek tortellini pasta salad. Here’s my update on the classic Greek salad. I mixed it up by adding cheese tortellini, shredded chicken, and a couple other tid bits. I’ve always got cheese tortellini onContinue reading “Greek Tortellini Pasta Salad with Chicken”
Wasted away again in Margarita-wing-ville … I know, a Jimmy Buffet reference. Gimmie a break, though. It’s Sunday afternoon, I’ve got a bit of writers block going on, and I just made wings that literally taste like a top shelf margarita. (And I just got a manicure … see those pretty nails?) Continue reading “Tequila Lime “Margarita” Chicken Wings and Southwest Ranch Dipping Sauce”
Take-out-fake-out! Unlike my last post, I can’t claim to have coined the above phrase. I can claim a wonderful recipe worthy of staying home in your cozies, and far better than your local take out. I can also claim a sauce that you’ll quickly become addicted to. Let’s roll. This bourbon chicken andContinue reading “Sticky Bourbon Chicken and Broccoli”
This dish accomplishes three ever-important objectives. 1) Delicious taste. 2) The kitchen is filled with a wonderfully unique and enticing aroma. 3) Easy to make. Three objectives met. One adjective needed. Magical. Indian food is all about the spices. While there are numerous spices to choose from, I brought this particular taste of IndiaContinue reading “Crock Pot Chicken Tikka Masala and Cilantro Yogurt Sauce”
Admit it. Unless it’s fried, chicken is pretty boring. Or as I like to say, BOOORING. I can’t help myself from going off on a little Emily side tangent here: Using the proper pronunciation of the word ‘BOOORING’ is always key. Make sure your voice is low, and then say those two words. BOW,Continue reading “Spinach and Cheesy Chicken Roll-Ups”
The classic example of seasonal fruit. When strawberries are in season, I can not resist. I say hello to these beauties during May and June when they’re plump, sweet, and juicy. Then, I say goodbye until the following Spring. Simply delicious this time of year. Yup, I’m a strawberry snob and proud of it.Continue reading “Spring Greens with Grilled Chicken, Strawberries, Avocado, and Feta”
I made this incredibly healthy and delicious chicken for a taco dinner. Obviously this salsa chicken can be used for a multitude of different dishes, not just tacos. Obviously your kitchen will smell great when this chicken is cooking. And, obviously it’s simple and easy to make. (It is a crock pot recipe, after all.) FiveContinue reading “Crock Pot Salsa Chicken”
I like to roast a whole chicken on a Sunday afternoon. I know, how very “1950’s women” cliche of me. I’ve been told many times that I’m an old soul. Really, though, don’t you want your chicken cooked by an old soul? (Just say yes, because you know it’s the right answer.) Here’s the versatility ofContinue reading “Perfect Roast Chicken”
