Last fall I purchased the Instant Pot after hearing about it from a friend. Apparently, it is all the rage with Indian professional women who want to prepare Indian food for their families after a full day of work (who knew?). My mom made Indian meals almost nightly after a full work day when I…

Skillet-Roasted Lemon Chicken
So I got myself this cookbook for my birthday recently and thought I’d cook through it over Christmas break. It ended up being a busy time so I didn’t get too far into it but I did have a chance to try this recipe. We eat a lot of whole chickens in our home. It tends…
My New Favorite Roast Chicken
I make roast chicken. A lot. It’s a weekly menu fare around our house, usually on Friday nights. Some think it’s daunting to put a whole bird into the oven but I love that after it’s prepped, you can stick it in the oven and walk away. I’ve made Ina’s roast chicken and Lucinda’s roast…
Pesto Chicken Burgers
I found this recipe in my latest edition of Everyday Food. It looked easy enough and I had a few of the ingredients already on hand…love when that happens! I was able to use fresh basil from my garden (love summertime!), the fresh mozzarella was on sale at Whole Foods and I swapped the focaccia…
Baked Chicken Fingers
Who doesn’t love chicken fingers? I realize it’s a very kid friendly food but secretly, we adults love them too. I’ve done different variations of chicken fingers in the past but when I ran across this recipe where the panko crumbs were already toasted, I knew I had a winner. My kids enjoyed it although…
Chicken Koftas
This is a quick and easy weeknight supper. The chicken has only a few ingredients and the pitas are easy to assemble. I have only used ground chicken but ground lamb would be a yummier and more authentic substitution. I served the koftas along with baby carrots and baked steak fries. If you don’t want…
Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas
I’ve made enchiladas before but I’ve never tried one with green sauce. You know, green from tomatillos and green chiles. I’ve actually never tried tomatillos before but I really loved their tartness. If you can’t find them, feel free to substitute green tomatoes. (I actually added a few green tomatoes from my garden and it…
Turkey Burgers
This may be the easiest recipe I’ve blogged about. Ever. It has three ingredients (a first for me, I’m sure!) and it really was quite delicious. Many of you may already fix your burgers this way but this was new for me. I’ve never used Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix before but I needed one…
Another Roast Chicken Recipe
Whole Foods had a huge sale on organic whole chickens last week and so I gathered the littles and off we went in search of chickens for $1.69/lb. Unbelievable price, right? I was hesitant to buy the ten bird limit (who has that kind of space in their freezer?) so I settled for four birds….
Buffalo Chicken Chili
I ran across this recipe when I was perusing a cookbook that I had borrowed from the library. (Cookbooks are my favorite books to borrow from the library!) The book was by Joy Bauer, a nutritionist frequently featured on my favorite morning program, The TODAY Show. This chili is not for the faint of heart….
