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…
Mediterranean Chicken with Portobello Mushrooms, Green Beans, and Mini Heirloom Tomatoes
Last week, I made a dish for dinner that we loved. I decided to make it again tonight and blog the recipe for you all. When I made this dish last week, I used only two portobellos, however, I did decide to use a lot more portobello mushrooms tonight. They are big, but they do…
Cilantro Caesar Chicken
I bought a little too much cilantro the other day for my citrus cilantro rice, so decided to use some of it to add to my marinade for chicken breasts last night. I decided to use thin sliced chicken breasts … I like that they aren’t too large and are just the perfect size for…
Roasted Chicken and Grilled Artichoke Salad
Artichokes are such a great vegetable, full of antioxidants and low in calories and fat. I decided I’d make a salad for dinner tonight consisting of nothing more than chicken that I’d roast in the oven, mixed greens, grilled artichokes and shaved parmesan cheese. I started by cutting the top inch and most of the…
