Warm Sausage, Potato and Roasted Vegetable Salad

I’ve had a request for more vegetarian recipes around here, but sorry, this is not one.  I will get to those, I promise…just not now.  This was a salad recipe I spied a few weeks ago that looked like a heaty, warm winter salad.  It was, and the mustardy vinaigrette was great with the potatoes [...]

Chicken Curry with Gentle Spices

Posted by popular demand, here is a curry recipe some folks have seen on my camera and wanted me to post.  I didn’t post it when I made it because although it was tasty, the recipe wasn’t quite what I was expecting.  The main issue comes from the fact that you puree raw vegetables- like [...]

Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas

I’m sure everyone has that go-to meal that when you have no idea what to make for dinner, you can always fall
back on this dish.  For some people that means a meal that can be made from ingredients you always have on hand (for me the only thing I could make at any given time [...]

Grande Chicken Burritos

On Saturday night, Greg and I decided to eat in and I was going to make our old stand-by, quesadillas.  I wanted to make them a little
more special by making a chipotle chicken recipe for them,  but failed to find what I needed at the grocery store.  So I changed course and grabbed a copy [...]

Chicken Meatballs with Pepperonata

I’m back after a bit of a break last week…it was a busy week after vacation and I was out of town last weekend, so there wasn’t a lot of
post-worthy cooking going on.  Last night after track I made this recipe from Gourmet (changed a lot, though) that I had earmarked for a while and [...]

Asian Lettuce Wraps

Posting a recipe for lettuce wraps somehow makes me feel like I’m posting recipes for TGI Friday’s dishes or something…next thing you
know, I’ll be posting about jalapeno poppers.  I don’t even know if chain restaurants carry lettuce wraps, but it’s conjuring that up for me nonetheless.  Anyhow, this recipe attracted me with the slaw and [...]

Five-Spice Chicken with Honey Lemon Glaze

Sometimes having a long marinading time on meat is annoying…it means you have to plan ahead and wait in anticipation of what it
tastes like.  In the case of this chicken, I wasn’t annoyed because it was easy to prep on a work night and was more excited to see what the final result tasted like.  [...]

Chickpea, Chorizo and Chicken Stew

I had a link of frozen chorizo hanging around in my freezer and had been looking for recipes for a while that would inspire me to use it.
For some reason, this one caught my eye…maybe because it’s pretty South Beach and uses lots of protein and vegetables.  And maybe because all the vegetables kind of [...]

Cilantro Almond Chicken Salad

I love, love, love chicken salad, but I’m wary of ordering it in restaurants because you don’t know if what you’re going to get is
mayonnaise soup with bits of chicken.  Yikes.  So, I typically make it on my own so I can make sure it has the right chicken to mayo ratio.  This recipe caught [...]
