Healthy Chicken Salad Recipe

  There was a time when I ate chicken salad almost every day. Sure, I may have been pregnant and it was one of the only sandwiches I could eat but that stuff was my jam. Even though I was lazy and pregnant and ordered it from deli’s or Publix most of the time, there were a few instances that I actually made my own. When I did, I tried to make this healthy chicken salad recipe as opposed to the mayo-packed crap I’d get. Needless to say, 10 months of chicken salad pretty much made me take a long…

30-Minute Chicken Sausage with Apples & Onions

  I am all about the easy dinners so anything I can make in 30 minutes or less is a win for me. About a year ago, I was going out one night and decided to be a nice, little wifey and cook my husband dinner before I went out. I know, I know, ‘Wife of the Year’. I found chicken sausage with apples and cooked them up with some apples and onions. I was getting texts all night from him saying how great it was and he still talks about it a year later. So, after many months of…

Leftover Chicken? Make Some Chicken Parcels

I haven’t been inspired too much lately in the kitchen. Hate to admit it, but there have been a lot of soup & salad nights…and sometimes sans soup. Call it laziness, call it I’m pregnant AND lazy. The other night I splurged and went to good old Publix and grabbed a yummy rotisserie chicken. So what to do with all the left overs?? Chicken Pot Pie is always a nice fall back, but tonight I decided to step outside the box and make Parcels. What the hell is a parcel you may ask? A fancy word for a package. Cause…

Meatless Friday’s: Flatbread Pizzas

Posted by in April, Recipes

I love Flatout Wraps. They make awesome wraps and even awesomer flatbread pizzas! And yes, I said awesomer. They take 10 minutes and you can get as creative as you like. Throw whatever you got in the fridge on top and I guarantee it will taste delish! I had a bunch of stuff in my fridge that was nearing its time before it starts growing fur and got a few ideas for dinner. Whether you are having some company, a girls night in, an after school snack or a light dinner – you must try! BBQ Flatbread Pizza 1 Flatout…

Meatless Friday’s: Leftover Baked Spaghetti

0
Posted by in April, Recipes

I am the worst at gauging how much spaghetti to make. I either make way too much or just enough for one bowl. No matter how much I try, I never seem to make the perfect amount. But the good part about it is leftovers! I usually make pasta fritatta, but this time I decided to try something different – Baked Spaghetti. I have been seeing a lot of recipes floating around online and of course Pinterest but I improvised with the ingredients I had in the house, tossed it all together and created a delicious baked pasta dish.  I’m…

Meatless Friday’s: Veggie Quinoa Bake

0
Posted by in April, Recipes

It’s no secret I’m into experimenting with quinoa. A few weeks ago I had my veggie drawer filled with some produce that was nearing the end of its days and about a 1 cup of cooked quinoa in my fridge that I forgot about on the stove and it became extra mushy. I didn’t have the heart to throw it out. I thought about making quinoa balls, or my usually quiona ‘mac & cheese’ but then I remembered the veggies and thought about utilizing those bad boys. Enter the Veggie Quinoa Bake. Cheese-y, veggie-y, and oh so good! My husband…

Did you get an overabundance of chocolate this Easter? Well my almost 2 year old got more chocolate than I think her little eyes have ever seen. 4 chocolate bunnies the size of her head, M&M’s up the wazoo, Peeps and chocolate eggs that could last a lifetime. There’s no way in hell I am letting her eat it all. So what can you do with all these goodies that doesn’t include you eating all of it? Here are some ideas to get rid of all that excess chocolate and candies: 1. Give it away! So simple. But to who?…

Quick Chicken ‘Cacciatore’

Posted by in March, Recipes

Last night, both my husband and I were beyond exhausted. Ordering out food was not an option, as we have been spending way too much $$ on takeout/dining out in the past couple weeks. So we put our semi-functioning brains together and created a yummy, hearty dish in under 30 minutes. It was our take on chicken cacciatore, minus the olives and other goodies that are usually in a traditional one. We used what ever we had in our fridge and pantry – usually these again are hits or misses and the last thing both of us needed last night…

Meatless Friday’s: Fettuccine Alfredo

0
Posted by in February, Recipes

My Italian-ness oozes over into every part of my life. Especially the kitchen! Nothing beats Italiano food…NOTHING! Clearly I am biased. So there is no doubt in my mind that I am not going to let a Meatless Friday go by without making some pasta. Alfredo sauce is one of my favorite indulgences. Although I don’t eat that often (thanks to all that butter and heavy cream!), so when I do, I can eat bowls and bowls of this stuff! Best part is this recipe is super easy and can compete with some of the best Italian restaurants. Simple Fettuccine…

Meatless Friday’s: Easy Lo Mein

Posted by in February, Recipes

I have been having a hankering for some homemade Chinese food. As easy as it is to pick up the phone and just order it, I felt adventurous and decided to test out my wok skills in the kitchen. I don’t know if any of you out there have ever made homemade Chinese, but its complete insanity if you don’t know what you’re doing! The last time I attempted homemade Chinese, my husband and I were just dating, you know, in that cutesy, lovey-dovey stage and decided to make my mom a whole spread for her birthday dinner. Wontons, lo…
