Garlic and Herb Roasted Chicken

If you read my post a long, long time ago about cornish game hens, this is pretty much the exact same recipe, except with a regular sized chicken.  I made three of these puppies for our Mother’s Day celebration this year, and everyone just loved it!  The chicken really absorbs the flavors of the garlic, […]

Skinny Crock Pot Chicken Enchilada Soup

I think it’s officially soup season.  This is quite possibly – no, definitely –  my new favorite crock pot soup.  I found it on Skinnytaste, and it was so easy and extremely scrumptious.  And light!  I love Mexican food, so I might be a bit biased, but we shared this with some friends, and they […]

Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken with Cannellini Beans

When I made this last week, it got absolutely rave reviews from both Tim and me.  I knew he liked it when he took his first bite, said, “Yeah!” and gave me a high five.  A few more bites into it, he asked me where I got the recipe.  I replied, “Rachael Ray, my old […]

A Peachy New Chicken Recipe

Peaches are in abundance right now, so I’m always looking for yummy ways to use them.  I really love eating them al natural this time of year – they’re just so perfectly ripe and juicy and flavorful.  I mean, let’s be honest, the rest of the year, peaches aren’t worth a darn.  So this time […]

Three Ingredient Crock Pot Taco Chicken

A few girls from work and I started a book club, and I volunteered to host the first meeting.  Since I love Mexican food, I decided to have a nacho bar.  In the interest of keeping things easy, I decided to cook the meat for the nacho bar in the crock pot. Incidentally, remember my […]

Easy Weeknight Dinner: Pesto Pasta with Spinach, Asparagus, and Cherry Tomatoes

I saw a recipe on Rachael Ray not that long ago that immediately made me think, “I should make that. It sounds really delicious and would be very easy.” Actually, Dr. Travis Stork from the TV show The Doctors was Rachael’s guest and it was his recipe, which they were touting as very healthy. It’s […]

Crock Pot Pulled Pork

Of all things barbecue, I’d have to say pulled pork is my absolute favorite.  I especially love it on nachos at Busch stadium during a Cardinals game.  Pulled pork is actually really, really easy to make and the crock pot is the perfect method of cooking.  Since it cooks low and slow all day, it […]

Spanish Croquetas…And a Little Glimpse Into My Past

I’m really excited about this post because this is just more than your typical recipe post.  This time, I get to tell you a little bit more about me, and an experience in my life that was truly amazing. That’s how I started this blog post several months ago.  Truth is, it’s actually pretty difficult […]

Whole Grain Cous Cous with Spring Vegetables

I love cous cous as a side dish.  It’s something different from rice or potatoes, and it’s super easy to make.  It’s also very versatile.  You can flavor it many different ways by adding in different herbs, spices, and veggies.  I like to buy plain cous cous, whole grain or wheat if available, cook it in […]

Spinach and Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken

We eat a lot of chicken at our house, so I’m always looking for a new way to cook it.  Stuffing chicken breasts is a great way to do something different and it appears fancy, but it is really not that hard.  Added bonus – you can mix up the ingredients with different things you […]
