I forget sometimes when reading recipes from other places we don’t always have the same products of the same name for things. Like 1/2 and 1/2 is a fairly common dairy item in the United States but I had a question the other day about what that meant. What is 1/2? It is actually usually…

Grilled Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce
I love cheese! Grilled chicken with cheese sauce? Even better. We use this cheese sauce on lots of things – Nachos, warm pretzels, and now chicken. Verdict: This is a delicious warming dish. It felt like a big comfort food hug. My son added lots of hot salsa to the top of his chicken (see…
Grilled Sweet Asian Chili Chicken
We are still in the high 80s and low 90s here. It has been a weird summer in that we live less than a mile from the beach and we haven’t been at all this summer. We are still staying away from most people which means lots of family time. We have always been close…
Orange Chicken
When we order Chinese takeout I know that my daughter will choose Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, or Honey Chicken depending on her mood. With the Covid-19 shutdowns the two Chinese restaurants in our little town were closed for several months. There are only two things that my kids think that I don’t make better than…
Grilled Tandoori Chicken Skewers
Day 52 – The weather has been super nice here for the past few days. It has gone to 60 or 70 degrees from the low to mid 40s of the past month. It seems like everyone is outside. We live on a corner and the traffic has definitely picked up quite a bit. It…
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…
Revisited: Balsamic Italian Chicken
Day 6 in Coronavirus semi-lock down. Today is the first day of Spring. It is actually supposed to be almost 50 degrees here today which is unusual. It usually snows on the first day of Spring. I bet my crocuses are blooming. I haven’t seen them yet. I did get to go out in the…
Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup – Slow Cooker
I am sorry I have been neglectful in reading many of your blogs and commenting lately. I am in the throws of tax season (one of my many jobs is as a tax preparer) and what I have now learned is called Wave Season in the traveling business. It is the time everyone books their…
Cashew Chicken
I always think of Asian food as a sneaky way to add more vegetables not only to my meals but the kids too. I tend to eat more when they are mixed into something than if they are served on their own. I would not choose peppers or broccoli (unless it had cheese on it)…
Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches with Pickles
I had my son make dinner the other night. It was a simple meal of Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches with a salad and vegetable. When he told me what he wanted to do with the sandwiches I was a bit skeptical. But, it was his meal so…. he rolls with some of my crazy ideas so…
Chicken Parmesan
Sometimes you need a comforting meal of homemade sauce and ooey gooey cheese. I have been craving chicken parmigiana for several days but didn’t want to go out to eat. So, it was finally time to make the meal at home. Verdict: We love this meal. I always add much more cheese than I should…
