Hawaiian Sheet Pan Chicken

Hawaiian Sheet Pan Chicken is a quick an easy, yet super tasty, weeknight meal. The entire meal is made with one sheet pan so cleanup will also be quick. You do need a cutting board, mixing bowl, and knife, but that’s still less dishes than normal, right? I think it took me 60 min TOPS to make this dish, including prep time, bake time, and cleanup. This dish is full of flavor! The chicken is moist and juicy, the veggies are tender, the BBQ sauce adds a little tanginess, and the pineapple add a wonderfully fresh, citrus flavor. My favorite way to serve this is over a bed of rice but mashed potatoes or a salad would be a good substitute. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the chicken and add to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive … Continue reading

Creative Cauliflower Meals – Part 2

Not too long ago, I wrote a blog called Creative Cauliflower Meals about various ways to use cauliflower in Chinese inspired recipes. We’ve been talking about those recipes ever since and thought, why not try a few more? There are SO MANY ways to utilize cauliflower in recipes. My most preferred way is to substitute chicken with cauliflower. Once it’s cooked/baked, it has a very similar texture so you can hardly tell you aren’t eating meat. This is a great way to expand your pallet if you are vegetarian or exploring a vegan diet. First up is Baked BBQ Cauliflower Wings. These are just like boneless BBQ chicken wings but a lot healthier and you aren’t sacrificing the taste. These are full of flavor and easy to make! The recipe can be found here. ***This is a vegan recipe*** Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a … Continue reading

Pineapple Shrimp Skewers

We love to grill, and we love seafood, so we combined the two to create Pineapple Shrimp Skewers. These are prefect for a lighter dinner and come together so quickly! Plus, you can customize the skewers to different tastes by adding different fruits or veggies to accompany the shrimp. They are sweet yet citrusy, and very delicious! The recipe can be found here. Start by combining the coconut milk, hot sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and orange juice in a bowl. Pour into a Ziplock bag, then add the shrimp to the bag and toss to coat. Seal the bag and place in the fridge to marinate for 1-2 hours. Make sure the shrimp is thawed and shelled before placing in the bag! While the shrimp marinates, soak wooden skewers in water. I like to fill a drinking glass with water and place the skewers inside. Once the shrimp is … Continue reading
