My daughter’s favorite meal is Chicken Piccata. Every time we go out to eat if the restaurant has Chicken Piccata I can count on her to order it. The funny thing is 90% of the time 1/2 way through the meal she will turn to me and say, “Yours is so much better.” My secret?…

Chicken Strip Wraps with Boom Boom Sauce
We are getting to the bottom of our freezer! In our No Buy June we are cleaning out our freezer that we used to stock up on during the “Stay Home. Stay Safe.” time. We know that there may be another time that we are limited in movements again so we are cleaning out the…
Huli Huli Chicken
Huli Huli Chicken is a Hawaiian dish. Huli means “turn” in Hawaiian and refers to the way the chicken is cooked. It is usually cooked between two large racks that are constantly flipped to get a good char and lots of surface cooking. I don’t have two large racks to cook on my grill but…
Chicken Salad – No Buy June
One of the things we do twice each year is a no buy month. What I mean is we try to eat solely out of what we have on hand only grocery shopping for a few fresh items once a week. We need to clean out our freezers (refrigerator freezer and chest freezer). With all…
Chicken and Basmati Rice Casserole
Day 66 – I have been reading that we have gone from panic buying as in people buying tons of toilet paper, paper towels, and whatever they could grab to hoarding. They are looking for the items that they are afraid will run out and they want to make sure they have enough if this…
Pollo Loco Grilled Chicken with Rice
Day 65 – Finally an almost nice day! I can almost believe that we will actually have a Spring rather than just skipping it and going directly to false summer in June. I haven’t heard how this summer is supposed to be weather wise yet. Lake Michigan has risen about 18″ since we moved here…
Chicken Parmigiana with Homemade Sauce
Day 58 – This is one of my son’s favorite meals. When it is his turn to choose a special meal it is usually this. He asked specifically that I make the fried kind and homemade sauce when he made his request for Chicken Parm. If you like a lot of sauce on with your…

Chicken Tenders with Hot Honey Sauce
Day 27 – I have been doing a bit of reading on stress eating. Everything I read is everyone talking about how we are all seeking comfort foods. Grocery stores are reporting spikes in processed foods, chips, cookies, and candy sales. Cortisol, the stress hormone, is the main reason we seek out the foods high…
Doritos Chicken Taco Salad
Day 16 – We are settling in. I am thinking we need to stop naming days – Monday, Tuesday, etc… and just call them day. They are all blending together. We ask each other all the time, “What day is it again?” We try to tie it to something in our recent memory. But, it…
Skillet Chicken and Garlic Parmesan Rice
Day 9 – Things are still going okay here. We have each had our time of uncertainty and a bit of a melt down about how things are now but thankfully we have each had others around us to lift us up and not let us sink into despair. I hear about so many people…
