Chicken Francese This was another dish inspired by the need for speed! Working full time and having a family has made me more efficient in the ‘getting things done quickly’ department for sure! That doesn’t mean I’m going to let my healthy eating go by the “weigh”-side!!! This dish is fast, fast, fast and can be prepared based on a well-stocked ...

Pasta with Chicken and Vegetables in Tomato Sauce
Pasta with Chicken and Vegetables in Tomato Sauce This is an easy, everyday chicken cacciatore that comes together with a homemade tomato sauce in around 40 minutes. I went with fettuccine but feel free to go with whatever pasta you have on hand. So I’ve been doing things a little differently; I’ve been cooking the chicken breasts whole ...
Mustard, Lemon and Fresh Herb Chicken
Mustard, Lemon and Fresh Herb Chicken I was at my parent’s house last week and when I asked my mother what she wanted us to make for dinner, she replied (again) that she had a whole chicken (again)… did I mention, again? I’ve been challenged with coming up with new ways to use a whole chicken lately! This recipe was a huge success and by ...
Japanese Style Chicken Tenders
Japanese Style Chicken Tenders This is a variation of my Chicken Tenders Recipe, I mention it’s versatility and I do love to be right! Its juicy chicken is complimented by Panko and spices and then its served with my Spicy Asian BBQ sauce! My original recipe is so old, it predates photos! I'm feeling lost and nostalgic these days. I guess ...
Spicy Linguine with Sausage in a Rose Sauce
Spicy Linguine with Sausage in a Rose Sauce My friend asked me to make a dish inspired by her. I chose spicy because she’s spunky and I went with a rose sauce because she really likes Alfredo sauce. Kelly, this one’s for you :) A recipe for Spicy Linguine with Sausage in a Rose Sauce, inspired by my feisty friend ...
Poached Cod with Spinach and Broccoli
Poached Cod with Spinach and Broccoli This is a recipe I wrote years ago! It's actually one of the first ones I wrote. I had my heart set on writing a cookbook and then after I started writing it I turned to blogging. I look back on my first few years of blogging and realize how much I've learned. For years I didn't even take any photos! Then ...
Copycat Alice Springs Chicken
Copycat Alice Springs Chicken Have you ever had Alice Spring’s Chicken? I haven’t 🤣. I just keep seeing recipes for it so then I set out to make my own version. I still consider it copy cat though. I tried sautéing the mushrooms in some of the bacon drippings but honestly I couldn’t taste a difference so just sauté your mushrooms anyway ...
Dry Roasted Chicken Wings
Dry Roasted Chicken Wings This is an adaptation of Chef Michael Smith’s recipe for roasted wings. We’ve all had a few too many and downed a few too many wings! This recipe definitely makes those yummy wings less naughty. ...
Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup Old-Fashioned, creamy chicken noodle soup that is homemade, good for body and soul and ready in about 40 minutes. I was going to say 30 minutes but didn’t want to pressure you (totally doable in 30 minutes though!). Yup, you read that right; 30 – 40 minutes! Originally posted on January 31, 2016 :) A ...
Vegetable Teriyaki Chow Mein
Vegetable Teriyaki Chow Mein I broke the news to Mike that I wanted us to eat more vegetarian meals. His face dropped like a sack of potatoes. He consoled himself with BBQ chicken on the side of this Vegetable Teriyaki Chow Mein... I skipped the chicken. Here I've added a little heat, more than I usually do but it makes all vegetable, ie, no ...
Italian Spice Rubbed Grilled Chicken
Italian Spice Rubbed Grilled Chicken It’s a new year and I’m assuming some of you have made a resolution or two to lose some weight. You’ve come to a good place then; I’m here to help. Nutrition is key to a healthy lifestyle but it doesn’t matter how disciplined you are, if you don’t enjoy what you’re eating then eventually you’re going to give ...
Chicken Tetrazzini with Tomatoes
Chicken Tetrazzini with Tomatoes This is a hearty casserole that has been lightened up! Traditionally from what I’ve read, chicken tetrazzini has almond slivers but I don’t like almond slivers so mine doesn’t. Again, this looks daunting but this dish is really so very easy. Ideally you’ll use left over chicken or turkey which is really a bonus, I ...
