Cilantro Lime Chicken and Rice with Avocado and Tomatoes
“You haven’t planned a dinner in a while,” my husband said recently as I stirred a bolognese sauce on the stove. Though I’d planned on making bolognese for dinner that day, I recognized the truth in the statement. Even though I’ve never been big on meal planning, I have always been a plan-ahead girl when [...]
Cheesy Smothered Breaded Chicken with Buttermilk Biscuits
You know what? This chicken is seriously good. Every bite is a creamy, crispy, earthy, rich delight. I mean, this is the kind of dish that renders the dinner table silent as you all dig in and enjoy. It’s just that delicious. It’s pretty easy to make too. You cook the chicken on a rack, [...]
Teriyaki Barbecue Wings
These. These are what I love to toss in the oven when we’re sitting down to watch a game on Sundays. These are the snack (or, ahem, dinner) I love to dig into while my favorite teams (Go Raiders! Go Giants!) take to the field. These are something that Shawn, the kids and I can [...]
Edamame Chicken Dinner Salad
A salad like this is a perfect ending to a cheery day. It hits all the right notes — crisp, crunchy, sweet, savory and belly-filling. And despite the length of the ingredients list, it’s ready in 10 minutes or less. An invaluable recipe to have in your repertoire, right? This healthful salad was actually the [...]
Toss Together Chorizo, Feta and Tomato Pasta
On Sundays, I cook. Maybe it’s cliche, I don’t know. But Sunday is the day when I make a big batch of something for lunch that we can nibble from during the week. Hopefully that something is also good for Will’s lunch on Monday too. It’s also the day that I usually bake to fill [...]
Baked Ginger Sesame Chicken and Broccoli (and Eat. Live. Be. Reboot)
When Will saw me starting to steam broccoli for this dish, he couldn’t help but let out a little cheer. It’s his very favorite vegetable — and has been since he was a toddler. Even though he’s loved it for much of his six years, I am always caught off guard by his excitement. When [...]
Seasoned Baked Chicken Nuggets
The other night, when I was at Cate‘s house for our Blogger Thanksgiving fest, we were reheating a batch of these Homemade Seasoned Baked Chicken Nuggets that I made for the kids. Cate asked me if they were done right after I’d checked on them, and I said “No, they aren’t humming yet.” It never [...]
Baked Sticky Orange Chicken Drumsticks
Can I tell you something? Lately, I have had to work on meal plans and budgeting for food. I simply have to spend less on what we eat. For awhile there, my freelance writing business was booming. In fact, it was so big that I ended up letting go of a few lower paying clients. [...]
Shredded Chicken and Black Bean Nachos
Leftovers are a challenge in our house. If it’s pasta, you can pretty much guarantee that if there’s anything leftover (and usually there isn’t) then the kids will be all over it. It’s perfect for warming up and packing into Will’s lunchbox. But soup? It’s 50-50. Sometimes that’s great for lunch too but other times [...]
