Just when I least expected it, along came a book that has snapped me out of my kitchen funk. I have been just generally sick of making dinner evvvverrry day, for so many people with different tastes, and it has been reflected in uninspired, getting-by dinners thrown together in those crazy hours after school and […]
Honey Soy Chicken Thighs
Since we’re talking about thighs today, let’s talk about mine. Yesterday, I wore pants. It has been so hot, but enough forest fire smoke has blown in that the sun is essentially blocked, and yesterday was downright pleasant, both outside and in. While I pray for rain and for the safety of those brave firefighters […]
Chicken, Apple, & Brie Pastries
I eat cheese like it’s my job. Hey, you gotta keep busy while you’re on maternity leave, right? If we don’t have cheese, I literally don’t know what to do at lunch time. I’ve heard of kids who don’t like cheese, but I’m thankful those kids aren’t my kids. We accept a lot of differences […]
Peppery Chicken Quinoa {Cookbook Feature}
I am at heart a learner. I love the fact that it really is possible to learn something new everyday. Of course, with 3 preschoolers around, many a day goes by where the only kind of information I learn is that the words to the song are NOT “found me another one, prettier too, skip […]
Love me Chicken Tender
You know that thought you have when it’s summer time, and it’s beautiful outside, and someone offers you a plate of something sinfully delicious, and you have that nagging thought: “Oh dear, I’m probably going to get coerced into a bathing suit only minutes after I finish this”? Well, it’s officially time to welcome Fall!! […]
Hearty Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash & Quinoa
You know the age old saying “Do as I say, not as I do?” Well, I’m quite afraid that this will be the theme of my parenting. You see, I don’t like veggies that are cooked. I don’t like the chunkies in my soup. I know, mom, the tastes all blend and they don’t even […]
Chicken Rich Girl Sammies
Could you tell from the name that I didn’t know what to call these? Just to clarify for those of you on a food budget, don’t go running for cover, these sandwiches will most definitely not break your bank, and there really is a method to my madness in naming. Let me explain. The original […]
White Cheese and Chicken Lasagna
You know when you have one of those moments where you are praying that a) no one is watching, and b) a store has no security cameras? No, no, I didn’t steal anything, and I think my mistake can really be made by anyone. At least, that’s what I’ll tell myself. I love automatic doors. They are […]
Chicken, Brie & Pomegranate Wraps
Have you met my friend Brie? Well, truth be told, we’re more than friends. I am in love with Brie. I would take Brie for walks on the beach if I could, maybe to a nice restaurant. I would wine Brie and dine Brie. Well, I would dine on Brie with wine, at least. It’s […]
Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos
This is definitely one of our family’s all-time favourite meals. It’s one of the few recipes in my regular rotation and is one of my go-to recipes when I want to help someone out with a meal for their freezer! The recipe doubles easily, and you can cook the taquitos from frozen in 15-20 minutes. […]
