Getting sick of the same old chicken breast recipes? Don’t worry. This chicken breast sheesh tawook is just what you’re looking for. It’s easy, super flavorful, and only has one or two ingredients (probably) that you don’t already have in your house. If you’re wondering what the heck chicken breast sheesh tawook is, and how/why […]
Because of my pickiness, my weirdness and my shellfish allergy, I didn’t really eat Chinese food growing up. But my mom LOVES Chinese food, and once I learned how to order something that won’t kill me, I realized I actually do like things like General Tso’s chicken and fried rice. You know, the healthy stuff. […]
Chicken is not the most exciting food. I mean, it’s not bad. It has a lot of protein in it, it’s generally easy to cook and it’s versatile. But eating plain chicken every day can get pretty boring. This chicken, though, has that extra somethin’ somethin’, with the added bonus of not too many ingredients and […]
Beans and rice: healthy, cheap, easy, filling… and kinda boring, right? But it doesn’t have to be. This recipe from Bon Appetit takes what is probably the most frequently eaten dish in the world and gives it a little extra oomph (without adding too much extra time).

So, here’s the thing: I hate salads. Not all salads. Bean salad, pasta salad and fruit salad that doesn’t include cantaloupe or honeydew are fine. But I really don’t like raw leaves.

If you haven’t noticed, we kinda like bourbon around here. So I decided to go out on a limb and try this bourbon-glazed chicken from Cooking Light when two friends/former co-workers came over for dinner recently. Sometimes recipes from Cooking Light taste a little… like someone took all the fun out of them. But we […]
I still have a lot more from our Hawaii trip I want to share with you. But I also wanted to share one of the dishes I’ve made since we’ve been back — from a Hawaiian cookbook I bought at the Polynesian Cultural Center. This was the second thing I tried from the cookbook. The […]
Do you ever have recipes that you keep looking at, maybe even buying the ingredients for, but never making? This was one of those recipes for me. It is a slight variation on something form the Gourmet cookbook, and I’ve been looking at it for at least two years now. Now that I’ve finally made […]
If you’re looking for a chicken dish with minimum effort, this is a good one. It looks kind of fancy and tastes more interesting than plain old chicken breasts, but it only takes about 5 extra minutes to prepare. Start with some Boursin cheese. It comes in a little plastic tub and may be in […]
You are going to need some very special skills to make these chicken tacos. Namely: the ability to open a jar (or find a cute boy to do it for you) and the ability to push a button. So, those without opposable thumbs, sorry. Seriously, these are so easy to make it is almost embarrassing. […]
