Onion Garlic Chicken

I love caramelized onions. To me the best smell is a huge pan of onions caramelizing in butter. Seriously, I think onions go with just about any dinner. This is one of my favorites with garlic and onions. Verdict: This is a perfect simple dinner that packs a punch of flavor. The onions and garlic…

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

I am having a hard time writing this opening. Today is election day here in the United States. I don’t think any one is certain of anything today. I know I am hopeful that whatever the outcome may be that we can slowly start to return to being a united country instead of a divided…

Sesame Chicken

I am fighting my anxiety over the coming weeks (election, Covid-19 spikes, flu, the holidays,…) by remembering what I am thankful for so much. This past weekend my daughter feised (Irish dance competition) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This is only the second feis in the past 8 months she has danced in. For a girl that…

Buffalo Chicken and Cheese Quesadillas

One of our go-to meals when we are in a hurry is grilled cheese. My kids love grilled cheese. When they were little they did not want quesadillas though. So, we renamed them Mexican grilled cheese and they were happy to eat them! Sometimes just a change in description will help them eat something. My…

Grilled Mediterranean Chicken with Dill Sauce

Have you noticed a chicken theme to my recipes lately? Boneless, skinless chicken breasts has gone back down to about $1.88 a pound after raising in price right after the pandemic started.

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 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…

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…

Chicken and Cheddar Garlic Biscuits

Yes, that is our Christmas tree. It is now a Valentine’s Day tree. Notice the red and white ornaments. Our cat loves sleeping under the tree and we just couldn’t take it away from her. She has her own little tunnel in underneath it and she has move the tree skirt to her liking. She…

Black Pepper Chicken

This is one Chinese dish that I order quite often when we go out to eat. When most people think of Pepper Chicken they think where are the peppers. There are none in this dish. It is celery and onions. My kids were quite confused until I started saying Black Pepper Chicken. Then it made…
