Move over taco Tuesday, I have a new favorite, easy weeknight meal. This Kevin’s Thai Larb was greeted with praise this week. If you aren’t familiar with larb, it is a meat salad typical of Thai or Laotian cooking that is primarily a ground meat (chicken, beef, or pork) that is seasoned with…

Parsley & Turmeric Chicken
In the May issue of Better Homes & Gardens there was a method of cooking chicken that intrigued me – baking chicken starting from a cold oven. The magazine article was adamant that the result was perfectly cooked, tender chicken. Since I am currently living in an apartment without a grill, I thought…
Chipotle Chicken Crantadas
My family LOVES tacos. It seems like we easily eat them once a week, but we do venture out to other Mexican fare. These Chipotle Chicken Crantadas are a dish I created for a contest about a decade ago, though I have revamped it some since then. This dish is a summery version…
Chicken & Avocado Sandwich
I can’t believe it is already time for school again. I feel like summer just disappeared! Now that I will have to pack lunches for my kiddos, I have been experimenting with healthy options that will keep them fueled for the day. For example, in my bento box for this post I packed…
Chicken Tinga Sloppy Joes
The Del Real recipe challenge deadline was extended a few days, so I took advantage of the extra time and created another entry. I decided to try a unique version of a kid favorite classic – the sloppy joe. Instead of the usual ground beef and tomato-based sauce, I used Del Real’s Chipotle…

Chicken, Wild Rice, and Mushroom Soup
In the winter months my family is a huge fan of soup. It is an easy, warm meal that we enjoy for both lunch and dinner, plus it is one of the best ways to get my kids to eat a variety of vegetables in one sitting. Typically, my go-to recipe is chicken…
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Each week my church small group does a potluck lunch and we rotate the entrée. Amazingly, we all love – and tend to gravitate towards – Mexican inspired dishes. A group favorite is chicken enchilada casserole. Since it is such a hit I figured it was about time I experimented with a recipe…
Malaysian Curry Tuna Sandwich
A few years back, a good friend of mine brought a house warming gift when she visited me at my new home. It was a simple gift, but perfect in selection, since she new I loved to tinker in the kitchen and try new things. It was a jar of Malaysian Seven Seas…
