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

Bavarian Pork Chop Bake
There are a lot of noises coming from inside and outside of my apartment. It's a busy morning in the city. Workers are hard at work building new patios on my neighboring apartments.

Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
I'm starting to get the hang of the whole grocery-shopping-every-three-weeks thing. The first two weeks are great. My meals are packed full of fresh vegetables and fruit. The third week is the "lean" week. That's the mad-dash to make casseroles and use whatever is left in the fridge/freezer. By the end of the third week… Continue reading Tater Tot Topped Shepherd’s Pie
Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
Pork tenderloins have been on sale at my grocery store lately so I've been buying them up. Tenderloin is probably my favorite cut of pork. As the name implies, it's super tender---but only if it's correctly cooked. Many times, home cooks will overcook pork and let it dry out. There's nothing worse than a tough… Continue reading Pork and Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Cabbage
