Brittany's PantryChicken Bog
This is my absolute favorite southern dish! Although pimento cheese runs a close second and shrimp and grits is definitely near the top, chicken bog takes the #1 spot of the ‘Southern Food I Discovered After Moving To South Carolina And I Don’t Know How I Ever Lived Without It’ category. If…
Mexican Chicken & Rice Casserole
Hello friends! I have returned from an unexpected, yet much needed hiatus from blogging. It has been several weeks, but if you follow me on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, then you know that I have still been busy in the kitchen. Whenever I hear the word ‘casserole’ (or ‘hot dish’ if you are…
Chicken & Sweet Potato Stew
If you have been looking for a new winter stew to warm you up, this should be added to your menu! Spring is around the corner but while most of the country has experienced some beautiful weather, it IS just February. Snow, cold, sub-zero temps, ice storms, chilly wind, and slushy-sloshy weather…
Dairy-Free Veggie Chowder
When I think of chowder, I think of heavy, milk and cream laden soups that are nearly as thick as a stew. And, I must admit, that is what I find appealing about them. If you are eating them whilst wistfully gazing out at the sea, then they are even more appealing….
Carnita Nachos W/Chipotle-Lime Crema
So. There is this big game coming up. Maybe you have heard of it. Its called the Super Bowl. I only mention it because I happened to be visiting some hardcore football fans the weekend the competing teams were selected and I actually witnessed the games. Not being a huge sports…
How To: Make Your Own Chicken Stock
I feel like chicken stock (or chicken broth) is one of those things that scare people. The whole business of a DIY process for something you can buy very easily in a can at the store is, I am sure, absurd to some people. Like making your own corn flakes or churning…
Bistro Braised Chicken
I would be remiss this week if I didn’t share this recipe, as it has become a favorite in our house this winter. In the last several months, while dealing with a particularly snowy winter here in central IL, I have been gravitating toward comfort food. I know I am not alone…
Creamy Tomato Soup
So. If you are a regular reader of Brittany’s Pantry, you know that I am not the biggest fan of soup. My husband and kids? Yes. Me? No. Unless it is ice cream, I would rather eat meals that require a fork. However, if you know that about me, you also know…
Baked Garlic Brown Rice
I have a confession to make. I’ve been holding out on you. (Ooo…this is hard to say…) OK. I’ll just type it really fast! Sometimes I make food and I don’t blog about it! Phew! I’m glad I got that off my chest… In truth, its good food. Food that you would…
Lemon Potatoes
I just realized that this is the second potato recipe I have posted in a week. But hey! Its all good! Everyone loves a potato, right? Besides. St Patty’s Day is coming up and I wanted to post lots of potato recipes for you and-oh who am I kidding??!! Not really. I…
Gringo Chicken Soup & Surprises At The Supermarket
Sometimes, when you least expect it, a little gem of a recipe comes your way. Something that makes your life easier (super quick to make) and tastes unbelievably good (like cheesy dip on a spoon). A few years ago, not long after moving to Illinois, I was grocery shopping and came across…
How To: Poach Chicken
Poaching chicken is one of those things that I think health food experts expect people to do but few people actually do it. I am going to be straight with you. It ain’t pretty. Poached chicken is one of those things that is just a means to an end. It is an…
Leek & Potato Soup
Christmas is over and everyone is gearing up for the New Year. Well, most everyone. Our holiday here didn’t quite go as planned as both of my kids were are sick. No Christmas Eve appetizer dinner. No festive brunch and Christmas Day Feast. Just macaroni and cheese and soup I had frozen. We lounged…
Mexican Rice W/Black Beans: Mexican Food and Marriage
There are certain compromises that everyone makes when they get married. For example, my husband folds his T-shirts a certain way and when our households merged, I was expected to comply with this strange, and to me, ridiculous, rule. He in turn, hand washes all our knives separately and without complaint because…
