Just before the holidays I scored an amazing deal on a french oven. I’ve never owned one, and therefore never cooked with one, but after a little research I was ready to give it a try. « Continue »
Balsamic Chicken (improved!)
While my first attempt at Balsamic Chicken was good, it wasn’t great. Using balsamic vinegar, only, was a bit much for Bob. For me, it was just missing . . . . complexity? « Continue »
Mediterranean Stuffed Chicken Breasts and Cauli-Mash
For me, any recipe that says “stuffed” is code for “Fancy, shmancy”! Especially one like this.
I’ve made Italian Stuffed Chicken Breasts in the past, but this time I wanted to change up the flavors a bit. I scrounged around for a couple of ingredients that I thought would work well together. The result did not disappoint!« Continue »
White Jersey Sweet Potatoes
I love sweet potatoes, and when I spied this variety at Mariano’s recently, I had to bring some home to try. They did not disappoint!« Continue »
Friday’s Five!
Happy Friday! I started my day with a fantastic run and some strength training. It felt fabulous, and got me ready to take on the day!
Has everyone finished their holiday shopping?!?! I’m hoping to accomplish that this weekend. Wish me luck!« Continue »
Crockpot Fajitas
Typically, fajitas are best served sizzling, right off the gril or skillet. However, when you prefer to have dinner waiting for you, this is a great alternative. It should curb any fajita craving just fine! And if you plan it right, it’s an opportunity to have plenty of leftovers.« Continue »
KISS: Veggie Salad With Shredded chicken

Simple Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken
I had chicken breasts that I wanted to prepare (for dinner and use leftovers for lunches), when it occurred to me that using the slow cooker would make my life a lot easier.
Instead of a standard broth, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to use leftover wine I had in the refrigerator.« Continue »
Italian Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Chicken was on our menu plan last night, but I wasn’t in the mood for our regular grilled chicken. I wanted something with a little more pizzazz.
We were both pretty hungry, so I had to figure it out quickly. I rummaged through the kitchen, found a few ingredients that “spoke” to me, and pulled together a rather tasty dinner within 40 minutes, start to finish. Not bad!
M²T³ Event: Calamari, Cabbage, Zucchini and Chili!
On Thursday, Bob and I got together with our friends, Jeff and Marla. That’s right, another M²T³ Event! As usual–So. Much. Fun.
Grilled Pineapple Chicken Kabobs
Some friends came over for dinner last night; we had to practice our dance moves for a wedding we’re attending this weekend.
I’m serious!
We are in charge of leading the line dance sequence during “Dancing Queen” in the movie, Mamma Mia. It’s a long story, how this came to be, but hilarious nonetheless, and therefore it has to happen. We cannot wait to bust this out at the wedding: (The line dance is at the end of the clip)
