Maple Sage Spice Rub and How to Dry Brine Turkey

So…Thanksgiving. I can’t lie. I’m so excited for Thanksgiving to come. I start thinking about my menu months in advance, which sounds silly, I know. But there’s a lot of pressure to create the perfect meal for that one day every November where we sit together as a family, reflect, and talk about gratitude. That should be a daily occurrence, shouldn’t it? But I guess it’s good to have a dedicated holiday too. So. The […]

Spring is wonderful! It’s also time for this month’s #EatSeasonal roundup. This month I’m sharing a recipe for Chicken Rice Stew with Mushrooms and Leeks that was inspired by new favorite show, A Chef’s Life, on PBS. I […]

Maple Mustard Roasted Chicken

This Maple Mustard Roasted Chicken is the quintessential fall dinner. My family absolutely loves roasted chicken and over the years I’ve practiced and practiced until I’ve perfected it. I loved the idea of using maple in a savory way with the spiciness of English dry mustard. I love the spicy kick ground mustard powder adds. I wanted to make a compound butter to use when I made roasted chicken. I paired it with real maple […]

Almond Crusted Chicken Cutlets with Creamy Mushroom Leek Sauce

I’ve partnered with Shirley J again.  I’m excited to share a gluten-free recipe for Almond Crusted Chicken Cutlets with Creamy Mushroom Leek Sauce with you.  It was a huge hit with my family.  The sauce is made from Gluten-Free Whisk Bliss.   One of the things that can be challenging when you’re gluten-free is modifying recipes to fit your diet.  I had a hard time trying to find a replacement for bechamel.  Most of my […]

Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki

In June of 2006, right after my son was born, my dear friend Jenni brought us Chicken Gyros for dinner. WHOA. They were so good.  I begged her for the recipe.  Ever since that day, we have been making these regularly. The marinade is nothing more than some fresh herbs, sliced onion, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Here’s a little tip:  if you don’t have room in your fridge when marinating, place it […]

Cilantro Citrus Chicken

I was going through old issues of Cooking Light magazine and found a recipe for Cilantro Citrus Chicken that I had marked as something I wanted to make. We really loved this recipe. My kids even gobbled it up–and if that’s not a testimonial, I don’t know what is. You […]

White Balsamic Marinated Chicken with Rice Pilaf, and Cauliflower with Raisins

I’ve been wanting to try cauliflower with raisins for awhile. I keep seeing it in magazines and on other food blogs. I really loved the way they tasted together. This was a quick meal to throw together. I marinated the chicken overnight and then tossed it in the oven for a bit. It was incredibly flavorful. Even my husband, not the world’s great lover of chicken, enjoyed it. We didn’t do this, but I was […]

Fast Chicken Enchiladas with Green Sauce

A friend in need is a friend indeed. And sometimes you have friends who need a good meal brought to them. Furthermore, if you bring these enchiladas to a friend in need, they will be your friend indeed. These are pretty special. (Come closer–they are super easy to make. Don’t tell though. Tell everyone you spent hours slaving away.) I like to use the poached chicken I posted about yesterday when I make enchiladas. You […]

Chicken Poached with Cumin, Laurel and Oregano

I like poaching chicken because it’s super easy. I’m busy, you’re busy. We’re all busy. Poaching the chicken in a flavorful broth is the way to go because it only takes a few minutes to do. And bonus points because it also works well if you forgot to thaw out the chicken overnight or during the day. You can mix up the herbs and spices here according to what recipe(s) you’ll be making. A 3-4 […]
