We're in for a long dry spell this week. Temperatures are about to soar into the upper 90's and there's not a lick of rain in the forecast. The humidity will be through the roof, too, making temperatures feel more like they're in the 100's. It's definitely the dog days of summer right now. I'm… Continue reading Southern Cobb Salad with Sweet Onion Dressing

Chicken & Mango Skewers
I think I've finally gotten the hang of grilling things. After years of messing things up with a charcoal grill, we finally bought a propane grill and it is MUCH easier for me to use. I tried it out this weekend and cooked up some kabobs and pork tenderloin. To my surprise, both came out… Continue reading Chicken & Mango Skewers
Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
A few weeks ago, I bought a big pack of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. I typically grab a pack of the boneless, skinless version, but these were much cheaper. I divvied up the portions and froze most of them, but left one pack to make this skillet dinner. There's nothing quite like chicken thighs. They're… Continue reading Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
Chicken Fried Quinoa
Quick! Tell me your go-to Chinese takeout order! If you're thrown on the spot, I bet a lot of you say chicken fried rice. My favorite takeout order? Lo mein and hot and sour soup. But my husband will order chicken fried rice almost every single time. It's a classic and it hits the spot… Continue reading Chicken Fried Quinoa
Slow Cooker Tomato-Basil Chicken
I feel like I'm quickly running out of counter space. I've got my cannisters, a cookie jar (that's consistently empty), an air fryer, a double-Keurig (one that makes a pot and a cup), toaster and knife block all spread throughout my kitchen. My kitchen isn't small by any stretch of the imagination, but I just… Continue reading Slow Cooker Tomato-Basil Chicken
Chopped Chicken Taco Salad
I've made at least a dozen different versions of taco salad in my life. My all-time favorite version is a classic: meat, ranch-style beans, lettuce, cheese, tortilla chips and Catalina dressing. It's not really the most healthy salad on the planet, but it sure is good. I've made a nice turkey version before with mini… Continue reading Chopped Chicken Taco Salad
Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
Oh boy. You really underestimate how much your oven heats up your home until you are baking all day. I had to cook a bunch of recipes this weekend in the oven and got hot. I mean, really hot. I had to fan myself down a few times while wiping away little beads of sweat… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes
Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Biscuits
Over the last several weeks, I've been revisiting some classic cookbooks in my collection. I've got a massive collection so it's nearly impossible to go through them all, but I like to peruse a few at a time to spark some inspriation for my weekly menus. I've found quite a few good recipes from a… Continue reading Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Biscuits
Chicken Caesar Salad Pitas
I'm ready to make salads upon salads this spring and summer. The spring produce is out and ready for the taking. There's nothing more refreshing during the hotter months of the year than a big ol' bowl of salad. It's especially helpful when you want to avoid overheating your house with the stove and the… Continue reading Chicken Caesar Salad Pitas
Spicy Chicken Tacos with Southwestern Succotash
It was this time of year two years ago that my husband and I went on a road trip to New Mexico. I had been to New Mexico several different times before then, but I really fell in love with it on that 2019 trip. It's such an enchanting place, with its desert & mountain… Continue reading Spicy Chicken Tacos with Southwestern Succotash
