If you buy herbs in the grocery store, you probably know all to well the problem of biting off more than you can chew. There's nothing worse than wasting food, in my opinion. And yet fresh herbs always seem to go to waste in my kitchen. I always need fresh basil, parsley or dill for… Continue reading Green Goddess Chicken Salad

Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Sandwiches
Remember the first time you ever bit into a Chicken Parmesan sandwich? Remember the flood of delight as soon as the sandwich hit your tastebuds? That's kind of what happened when I took my first bite of this sandwich. This recipe takes hardly any ingredients to make. It's simple, quick, and packs a true wollop… Continue reading Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Sandwiches
Chipotle Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Lettuce wraps are difficult to eat at work. I eat lunch at my desk (I know I shouldn't) because I'm swamped most of the time. Since I eat at my desk instead of in our very nice break room, I typically only bring sandwiches or salads to work. Anything I don't have to reheat works… Continue reading Chipotle Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Slow Cooker Hawaiian Chicken Sandwiches
There's a thick, beefy aroma in the air. Spices and herbs are mingling together in my oven and the smell is seeping out and filling my house. My husband and I are slow-cooking a 10 pound (!!!) brisket for the first time for Super Bowl Sunday. My husband is a massive KC Chiefs fan and… Continue reading Slow Cooker Hawaiian Chicken Sandwiches
Thai Peanut Chicken Pinwheels
Starbucks has really upped its game when it comes to selling food. I remember when Starbucks only sold coffee. No food, no snacks. Nada. Now, you can almost eat every meal at Starbucks (if you have the dough). I've become a fan of their quinoa salad and spinach-feta-and-egg-white wraps. But a few years ago, it… Continue reading Thai Peanut Chicken Pinwheels
Pot Pie Baked Potatoes
I wish potatoes weren't so demonized. Are they the best carb in the world? No. But are they cheap, filling, and still full of essential vitamins and minerals? Absolutely. Potatoes deserve to be in your carb rotation, even if you do so sparingly. They don't deserve to be demonized and left out of the kitchen… Continue reading Pot Pie Baked Potatoes
Brown Rice & Chicken Enchilada Casserole
New Year, New You, am I right? I hate that phrase. I LOATHE it. It's the same catchphrase that gets used incessantly over the holiday break and it drives me nuts. Sometimes, though, it makes sense. A New Year means a fresh start. A new beginning. The slate is wiped clean and you have 365… Continue reading Brown Rice & Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Chicken and Quinoa Minestrone
It's 3 whole degrees outside. 3. That's it. The wind is howling from the north at a clip of 40 miles per hour, making it feel more like -20 degrees. That is just too dang cold, if you ask me. One thing you need to survive an Oklahoma arctic blast is blankets. LOTS of blankets.… Continue reading Chicken and Quinoa Minestrone
Queso Chicken and Rice Casserole
I'm in the midst of mourning right now. In a frenzy to stop gorging myself on homemade Chex Mix (which I make every Christmas season), I didn't fasten the lid to the tin it well enough and ended up dropping the entire batch on the floor. I'm not going to lie---I also dropped a good… Continue reading Queso Chicken and Rice Casserole
Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Pasta
I'm pooped. My husband and I spent the whole weekend Christmas shopping and it was a blitz from start to finish. I managed to cook most of the day on Sunday but I felt like napping the whole day. I'm exhausted. For my dinners this week, I made my meal prepping easy by cooking a… Continue reading Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Pasta
