Spicy Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Breasts This is one of those recipes that I go back to time and time again and yet, I've never posted it! I love roasting bone-in chicken breasts because you get a lot more flavour and of course it doesn't dry out. I like this marinade because you get the intense flavour from the garlic and oregano ...

Santa Fe Chicken Quesadilla

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 ...

Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken
Honey-Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken I'm completely torn. I love this time of year, I look forward to the cool nights and all the amazing holidays about to be celebrated but I also feel sad.

Instant Pot Teriyaki Beef
Instant Pot Teriyaki Beef I'm not afraid to admit it, when certain groceries go on sale I stock my freezer, enter stewing beef cubes. I wanted to use my Instant Pot but wanted something different. You know those aha moments that open your eyes to a whole new world? Well, that's what this was. Beef teriyaki with melt-in-your-mouth beef thanks ...
Gentle Bok Choy
Gentle Bok Choy I wanted the taste of the vegetables to shine through here. So many times I find myself adding little things to produce a certain flavour rather than appreciating the natural taste inherent in the ingredient itself. So to that, I said, No! Haha, I was trying to go for theatrical drama there! Really though, this dish really ...
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 ...

Creole Roasted Chicken
Creole Roasted Chicken I love coming up with new ways to do a roasted chicken; it’s healthy, cost-effective, easy and yet it always seems to impress. Here, I’ve used homemade Creole seasoning that I already had prepared and then experimented with using up the leftover lime in my fridge (I hate to waste!). Honestly, this chicken is juicy and ...
