Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken
Sweet Onion Marinated Chicken This is a dish that I made at my parent's house last week. I have to point out, because I think it's first time in history, there's NO GARLIC in this recipe. It was odd. I still feel not right about it. I honestly think this is the first time I haven't used garlic in a marinade recipe. So weird (but good!). I ...
Kale and Basil Pesto
Kale and Basil Pesto This recipe was motivated by my veggie order, I was determined to find a great way to use up a whole bunch of kale, which no one seems to like 🤷♀️ Honestly though, I think from now on it’s going to be split between this recipe and my Kale Chips which I’m in love with.
