Instant Pot Chicken & Vegetable Pad Thai is simple weeknight meal that is ready in no time!  It’s packed with tender chicken, lots of veggies, noodles, and a flavorful sauce.  Pad Thai sauce is a little salty, fairly nutty, and a little sweet in flavor.  I think it’s similar to peanut sauce, which tastes great on just about anything 😊 This is a one-pot meal your whole family will love! The recipe can be found here. Start by doing all your prep work.  Slice the chicken, zucchini, bell pepper, etc.  I like to buy matchstick carrots because they are already the needed size.  I also prefer to julienne (cut super thin) my zucchini but if you have a spiralizer, that also works well.  Set all the ingredients aside until ready to use. Next, make the Pad Thai sauce.  In a large bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients – brown sugar, chicken broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, creamy peanut butter, … Continue reading

Looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal that is also flavorful and delicious?  Look no further!  Meatless Monday has a new fan favorite…. Lentils & Vegetables in Peanut Sauce.  This is a vegan / vegetarian meal that’s packed with fresh vegetables and protein.  I chose some of my favorite veggies to use in this dish, but you can add any veggies you like.  You can add mushrooms, squash, snap peas, you name it!

Start by adding the peanut butter, ginger, garlic, soy sauce (or tamari), lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, sriracha, cayenne, salt, sugar, sesame oil, … Continue reading

Growing up I always loved a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  I mean, who didn’t?  It was a staple in my daily life and it’s making a comeback.  However, instead of sandwich form I’m pairing it with another food I love.  What for it……chicken wings.  Yes, peanut butter and jelly chicken wings.  A little louder for those in the back…PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CHICKEN WINGS! The recipe can be found here. These wings are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and will satisfy any craving.  They are the perfect combination of sweet and spicy while being incredibly savory.  The chicken wings are coated in a delicious peanut sauce and the raspberry jelly dipping sauce brings it all together.  The combination of peanut butter, jelly, and chicken might sound weird, but I strongly suggest putting your hesitation aside and giving these wings a try! Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F and lining … Continue reading

Have you ever had a spring roll before?  If not, I’m sure you’ve noticed them on menus or seen pictures online.  They are sometimes called Vietnamese spring rolls or rice paper rolls and are similar to egg rolls but are unfried.  They are loaded with fresh vegetables and fruit and taste amazing!  They are also vegetarian/vegan and oh so healthy. The recipe I want to share with you today is for Vegetable Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce.  These make a great lunch, dinner, or appetizer.  All you have to do is follow the instructions on the rice paper package…and maybe make a practice roll to familiarize yourself with the texture and feel of the rice paper 🙂  The taste is so light and refreshing!

Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce are perfectly grilled chicken strips that have been marinated in a flavorful sauce.  They are perfectly sweet and tangy and make an easy dinner.  Don’t forget to drizzle the leftover peanut sauce on top of the skewers before serving! The recipe can be found here. Start by slicing the chicken breasts into strips and set aside. Then prepare the marinade by combining the yogurt, ginger, garlic, and curry powder in a mixing bowl.  Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat.  Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for up to 2 hours. While the chicken in marinating, soak the skewers in water.  I like to add water to a drinking glass and place the skewers inside. You can also make the peanut sauce while waiting.  Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, red chili paste, brown sugar, and lime juice to … Continue reading
