I was feeling nostalgic for some of the dinners my mom would sometimes make in the 80’s so decided to make my own version of the chicken and rice bake most of us probably remember well. In my version of this dish, instead of water, I chose to use chardonnay and chicken broth. I mixed…

Roasted Chicken and Chile Lime Brussels Sprouts Tacos
If you have not yet considered adding Brussels sprouts to your chicken tacos, now’s the time. Oh my goodness, they were amazing. My husband loved them and the first words out of his mouth were “You need to open a restaurant! These are amazing!” Phew! This could have gone one of two ways, either he’d…
Grilled Jalapeño Chicken with Mango, Blackberry and Jalapeño Sauce
I’ve had an idea on my mind for a couple of weeks that included using the juice from a couple jars of Hot and Sweet Jalapeños that I’ve been saving. I love these jalapeños on homemade pizza and decided to hang onto the jars with the juice that was left after using the jalapeños on…
Blueberry Balsamic Jalapeño Grilled Chicken
Two of Dennis’ brothers were here last weekend with their wives. We had a weekend packed with fun plans and restaurant reservations. For one of the nights I wanted to have a dinner party here with them. I came up with an idea for a marinade to grill chicken breasts in and they loved it!…
Lemon Dijon Crusted Chicken Salad
I think most people like to have something a little lighter for dinner as the weather warms up and the days become longer. The night I decided to make a main course salad for dinner for Dennis and me. We both really enjoyed this salad, Dennis is still talking about it. My inspiration for this…
Skin-on, Bone-in Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Breasts
When I saw skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts at the market the other day, I decided to grab a package. It seems I mostly cook skinless, boneless chicken breasts and more often than not, the thin sliced breasts. I was in the mood to change things up a bit and that’s what I did. Last night…
Garlic Ranch Chicken
Yesterday, my daughter, Kylie, and I ran a few errands together. We stopped at Home Goods so I could pick up some gift wrap and cards and while we were looking around, she found a cookbook she’d been eyeing for awhile. I’ve found some really great coffee table books at Home Goods and yesterday, they…
Rustic Tuscan Garlic Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner
Who doesn’t love a sheet pan dinner? It makes cooking for a family easy with minimal clean-up. I’m definitely on board with that. Even though I have a small family … just my husband, our daughter and me, I don’t mind an easy and quick solution for dinner some nights. I had some things in…
Chicken Kabobs
The last time I had kabobs was last year at my sister’s house. They made them for dinner and it was one of my favorite dinners ever. I don’t know why I don’t make kabobs more often, I seem to forget about them and then a little reminder goes off in my head and I…
Marinated Grape Tomatoes, Arugula and Oregano Chicken Salad
Grape tomatoes are just like candy to me … I love them and they are as much of a staple in our home as cloves of garlic. I also love the mini heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes … I’m not picky! Dennis loves to pack any of these types of tomatoes in his lunch and…
