Christmas Dinner
Normally by mid-December we would have a plan for Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas Day brunch, and Christmas Day dinner…. it’s a busy 2 days to say the least! But we have zero plans scheduled at the moment. It’s an odd feeling and we know we are not along. Do you spend time with family and friends over the holidays or opt for a quiet day at home? Do you take the simple route and order a meal to go from your favorite restaurant or perhaps a heat-and-serve meal from the grocery store? Whatever you end up doing, it will be a year to remember! We will still have a lovely meal to commemorate the holidays and spend the day cooking together. I have a few recipes I want to share with you that not only make the perfect Christmas meal but are great options when cooking for a small group … Continue reading

Effortless Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Lettuce wraps are a quick and easy meal option! They also have the potential to be incredibly healthy because you can customize your ingredients to create a diet-friendly meal or you can simply enjoy them because they are delicious 🙂 Swapping out a carb-heavy tortilla or slice of bread and replacing it with a low carb / low calorie option is always a win in my book! Today I want to share with you my 2 favorite recipes to make as lettuce wraps. You can always create these recipes and substitute the lettuce wrap with a tortilla or perhaps rice to create a bowl style meal if you prefer. First up is Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps. These are bursting with flavor and taste just like a dish you would get at a local Chinese restaurant! The recipe can be found here. In a small bowl, add the hoisin sauce, soy … Continue reading

Tex-Mex Chicken & Zucchini Skillet
Tex-Mex Chicken & Zucchini Skillet is a yummy, low-carb, one-pan dinner that’s ready in about 30 minutes, which makes it a great option for a quick weeknight meal. It’s packed with a variety of vegetables, tender chicken, and lots of flavor! The recipe can be found here. This is how you make it: start by doing all your prep work. Chop the onion, bell peppers, zucchini, green onion, and cilantro. Mince the garlic. Drain and rinse the black beans. Slice the chicken breasts. Set everything aside. This will help you move along a lot faster while cooking because all ingredients are ready to go. You can even portion out your seasonings ahead of time!

A Socially Distanced Thanksgiving
Can you believe Thanksgiving is almost here? It’s been an interesting year (to say the least), so I’m looking forward to the holidays. Although, the holidays might look a little different this year. We still plan on seeing our immediate families for a nice Thanksgiving meal but will keep our gathering to 4-6 people. We will miss traveling, seeing extended family, participating in some Black Friday shopping, and more this Thanksgiving, but will savor the time we do have with the few we choose to celebrate with…socially distanced with some delicious food 🙂 We are going to start our day with a nice fall-themed charcuterie board. You need something to snack on while you cook, right? If you’ve never made a charcuterie board before, you are in for a treat. They are very simple to make, can include as many or as few ingredients as you choose, and make a … Continue reading

Wingin’ It
I’ve been on a chicken wing kick lately. There’s just something about them that I can’t get enough of. Sure, they are messy to eat, but picking every juicy morsel off the bone is pretty satisfying 🙂 There are a lot of words I would use to describe chicken wings…oven baked, grilled, crispy, sticky, sweet, spicy, saucy, tender, juicy, etc.…but it all depends on the recipe. There is also the debate of boneless vs. bone-in chicken. Is it really a chicken wing if it’s boneless? I used to only eat boneless wings because I didn’t want to do the work but now, I usually prefer bone-in wings because they a bit more succulent. I think a lot of people would agree. I started experimenting with different sauce flavors and came up with some fun Asian inspired recipes that I want to share with you today: General Tso’s Chicken Wings Kung … Continue reading

Pizza Party!
Friday night is pizza night at our house. With COVID, we’ve been cooking at home a lot more than ordering in or going out to eat so we’ve taken to preparing our own pizzas from scratch at home. It’s been fun to play around with toppings and be creative with what we add to each pizza. You can definitely stick with the traditional toppings if that’s what you prefer on pizza, but we like to branch out and make each pizza unique. This crust is a favorite of mine as well. I’d prefer less dough and more toppings in each bite so I’m going to share with you my recipe for Thin Crust Pizza Dough. This is the base I use for all my homemade pizzas. It’s thin, doesn’t require any time to rise, and gets nice and crispy when you bake it on a pizza stone. One plus side … Continue reading

Crock Pot Buffalo Pulled Chicken
Buffalo Chicken is an obsession of mine and seems to be a very popular food item in general. Most people I talk to have a favorite buffalo chicken dish of some kind. I don’t know what it is that draws me back but it’s SO juicy and flavorful…. I could eat it every night of the week. Recently, we made Crock Pot Pulled Buffalo Chicken. I have a long list of why I love this recipe but the gist of it is, it’s juice, spicy, simple to make, and absolutely delicious! It can be a meal by itself or used in sandwiches, salads, wraps, tacos, dips, on pizza, and more. We chose to use it in sandwiches. It’s a crock pot meal and makes a healthy portion so you’ll be able to eat it for a few days or serve to a crowd. The recipe can be found here. Make … Continue reading

St Paddy’s Provisions
St Patrick’s Day is a fun holiday for everyone! You can usually find some type of celebration around town whether it be a parade, green beer at your favorite bar or specials on Irish food at restaurants. Even if you aren’t Irish, it’s fun to participate in the festivities. We like to watch the parade and enjoy an adult beverage with the dressed-up crowds (the people watching is phenomenal), then head home for a feast! Some years we like to enjoy traditional Irish food but other years we like to take a favorite dish and add and Irish twist. It really depends on what we feel like cooking that day! This year, we are going to enjoy the following menu with friends and family: Reuben Dip Guinness Cheddar Mac & Cheese Guinness Glazed Chicken Sandwich Irish Mule Guinness Brownies The Reuben Dip is our appetizer and something to much … Continue reading

Spicy Chicken Rigatoni
Spicy Chicken Rigatoni is hands down one of my top 5 favorite pasta dishes! It has large pieces of tender chicken, perfectly cooked noodles, and a lot of heat (in a good way). Should I go on? There is as little or as much garlic as you would like, alfredo sauce, marinara sauce, and butter…. yes, butter…. for a wonderfully creamy sauce. This dish is so simple to make and tastes amazing. You’ll think you’re eating at a fancy Italian restaurant. Perfetto! The recipe can be found here. In a large skillet or deep pot, heat oil over medium heat. You want the skillet or pot to be large enough to fit the sauce and noodles so you can toss everything together at the end. Add the crushed red pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic. Sauté just long enough for the garlic to caramelize and red pepper to release flavor … Continue reading

Mardi Gras!
Mardi Gras falls on Tuesday, February 25th this year. Traditionally, the days leading up to Lent, people would binge on rich/fatty foods in anticipation of fasting or limiting intake of certain foods. Mardi Gras translates to Fat Tuesday and is celebrate the day before Ash Wednesday, making it quite the celebration! New Orleans is famous for its Mardi Gras parties. I’ve been to New Orleans and enjoyed some awesome food but have never participated in the Mardi Gras festivities…maybe someday I’ll get back! I want to celebrate Mardi Gras this year with a delicious feast. I’m thinking traditional New Orleans foods with a little twist! I’ll be making Muffuletta Dip and Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. I got my inspiration for Muffuletta Dip from a traditional, and signature, New Orleans sandwich that features olive salad, salami, and cheese. This is essentially a Muffuletta sandwich in dip form. It’s bold, tangy, and … Continue reading
