    slow cooker chicken taco chili

    It feels a bit like a stretch to call this a chili honestly – but it is quite good. It is also wildly easy and that is why I’ll probably make this again and again. We were expecting some snow earlier this week. I found this recipe on SkinnyTaste and was drawn to the fact…

    italian chicken meatballs

    Feel free to file this recipe under “wonderful for Sunday meal prep”. It was a total home run and could not have been easier to pull together. I had all of these ingredients on hand which made it even better.  This recipe was made even easier by the use of my very handy cookie scooper.…

    Rosemary Lemon Chicken Patties & Parmesan Cauliflower Mash

    I took a health survey earlier this week that strongly recommended I eat more vegetables. I failed at that for several days until today. A trip to Trader Joes for some cauliflower and a nice new recipe that  I found on the internet. I used to get a lot of my inspiration from Food52 but…

    chicken tagine with apricots and pistachios

    Probably about 6 years ago, I made my first chicken tagine. I’ve always reflected positively on that meal. The flavors of a tagine are just incredible – and really all without my favorite sins of salt, butter, or cheese. I tore out this chicken tagine recipe from Real Simple relatively recently and got around to…

    Jerk chicken with mango avocado salsa

    Eating healthy? So complex. I’ve never really watched what I ate all that much because I’ve always been just active enough that it hasn’t been critical. Yes, it’s always advisable to not eat chicken fingers every Friday night but when I was walking 5 miles a day to and from work… I could do what…

    chicken & spinach soup with fresh pesto

    I never thought I would put pesto into a soup – but now I’ve done it … and it’s delicious. Turns out you don’t need a ton of ingredients or sodium for a flavorful soup. It’s pretty clear that I’m back on the soup train hard these days.  One of the amazing things about my…

    alphabet chicken soup

    I’ve been doing some very adult things recently – both thinking and doing. The opposite of all that is probably making alphabet soup – but I don’t care. Life is about balance. And I’ll be pretty well balanced for about 6 meals after this giant pot of child’s soup. This weekend was the first one…

    greek lemon soup with chicken and orzo

    I tend to skew towards very hearty soups. I want something that feels like a meal – not something that requires a part two. Unless that part two is a grilled cheese or anything with cheese for that matter. All that being said, there is a season fast approaching that requests I not cover myself…

    honey balsamic baked chicken

    While I was always in a quest for good leftover meals, this challenge means even more to me now. I love things that are seemingly well balanced meals and re-heat in 90 seconds. I don’t get home until after 7:30 and there is no sense in even imagining a world where I’m cooking a meal…
