Brittany's PantrySlow Cooker Butter Style Chicken
Branching out of your comfort zone is never easy. Wether it is trying a new fashion trend (No, not everyone can wear skinny jeans.) or talking to people you don’t know at a party (The weather is a safe topic…) or reading a book from a section you don’t normally pick from…
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…
Chicken W/Sweet & Zesty Raisin Sauce
I have mentioned before that sometimes, you can find fantastic recipes in unusual places. One of my favorite spots to search and skim for hidden ideas are product websites. For example, the Land O’Lakes site is loaded with anything and everything you ever wanted to do with butter! And did you know…
Chinese Chicken Salad
The feel like I should start by saying that the relationship between cabbage and I is still in the infancy stage. I didn’t eat much of it growing up and soggy coleslaw from the deli was certainly not going to sway me toward this rubbery, bitter vegetable. But slowly, with much cajoling…
Mediterranean Quinoa Salad
There are so many things I love about this dish, that I just…like…I can’t even deal. This might sound weird, but the fact that I finished this recipe just in time for summer is really the best part. Because now I, and of course you, can enjoy it all. season. long. *sigh*…
Caesar Salad
Caesar salad and I have a kind of love, hate relationship. Up until just a few years ago, I was more of a french or bleu cheese dressing type of gal. I thought caesar salads were quite boring actually. At least with a house salad you get tomatoes, maybe some cheese, a…
Honey-Lemon Grilled Chicken
So here it is. Many of you email me or send messages asking for healthy, gluten-free, dairy free, easy meals. Well, my lovelies, it doesn’t get much better than this. Much like the oh so popular grilled pork chops, this recipe requires minimal ingredients and minimal effort with a big return. The…
Loaded Black Bean Quesadillas
Greetings! Sorry I have been MIA for a week! I have been cooking and baking up a storm but it has been mostly new recipes and experiments. We were out of the state for several days and I literally didn’t even have time to sleep, let alone get any blogging done. Our…
Peanut Noodles
When it comes right down to it, the fact that this dish has a no-cook sauce and that I can make it entirely in the blender…well…that is really what drew me to it originally. After I made it once, it was the flavor that drew me in. The second time I made…
Chicken Tamale Casserole
I never really noticed how unflattering casseroles are until I started photographing them. Can I have a show of hands please? Who else has this problem? Anyone? In spite of that, this recipe is just too good. I absolutely have to share it with you guys! In these pictures, it is hard…
Tangy Chicken Salad w/ Avocado
Chicken salad and I have a funny kind of relationship. I have mentioned before that our family never made it when I was a kid but I make it all the time now. I rarely, if ever order it when at a restaurant because…well…it always tastes terrible. You know what I mean?…
Chicken Tetrazzini
If you follow me on Facebook you may have noticed that I have been freezing meals and food for busy days that are post new baby. I plan on doing a more detailed post of hints, tips, and all the freezer recipes that are quickly maxing out my chest freezer. But for…
Sticky Chicken-Roast Chicken From The Freezer
There are certain times when I wish you could smell a picture. Now is one of those times. And please note that part of the above picture is fuzzy because the steam was pouring off this baby like a volcano and filling my screen porch (where I take 99% of my pictures)…
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…
