So I could drink the Marsala wine sauce… but don’t be like me. Put the sauce on your chicken. Because it’s the right thing to do. You might choose to use an inappropriate amount of sauce on your chicken – and that’s okay. This is a judgment-free zone. This is actually one of my favorite weeknight…

Herb-Infused Butter Roasted Chicken
Um, hi. Butter. That is all. Crispy, buttery skin. Did I mention butter? Or juicy, tender chicken? Or butter. Yup, go ahead and sign your name on the dotted line, because this. is. everything. And by that, I mean literally everything you need for dinner – all in one roasting pan. Easy peasy. And did…
Chopped Chicken, Bacon & Mozzarella Salad with Creamy Avocado-Basil Vinaigrette
It’s that time of year when we’re scrambling to use up all of the fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and bacon in your fridge. Right? Okay, I kid – bacon is a year-round thing for us, let’s be serious. But hey, life is all about balance. So in our case, we balance our vegetables with bacon.
Louisiana Spice-Rubbed Chicken Wings with Cajun Remoulade
The mastermind behind these little treasures? The sous chef. Now, who doesn’t love fried wings? (I do, me, over here, jumping up and down!) But I’ve always been a bit intimidated by frying at home – the oil, the deep fry thermometer – it all just seemed messy and complicated. Yet, the sous chef had this…
Guinness-Braised Honey-Dijon Chicken Thighs
They say you should write about things that you have a good understanding of, right? Precisely why I steer clear of yeast, pressure-cookers, souffles, etc. Not to say the day won’t come when I’ll peak out from behind my shielded comfort zone and attempt those daunting tasks – but, let’s be real here folks. What…
Grilled Chicken Salad with Caramelized Onions, White Beans and a Balsamic-Dijon Vinaigrette
In between cookies and loaves of bread I find that throwing in a leaf or two of kale or spinach can be good for morale. Of course, eating sweets like they’re going out of style can also work wonders for a feel-good mood – but that’s not what I’m talking here. I’m talking the kind…
Herb-Spiced Chicken with a Spinach, Thyme and White Bean Ragout
I love the fall – this is no secret; but… as the cooler months creep our way I’m always in search of healthy yet hearty recipes that satisfy the yearning for cozy dishes. And this, my friends, does exactly that. It truly is healthy – yet still has that gratifying richness we languish for in…
Basil Pesto and Smoked Balsamic Chicken Skewers with Melted Mozzarella Cheese
You must know those days when you open your refrigerator and you find yourself staring blankly at odds and ends of ingredients and you have no idea what to make. Yes, this recipe is the baby of that very moment. A beautiful, delicious baby if I may say so.. okay, we’ll leave it at that…
Southwest Grilled Chicken with Avocado, Chipotle Crema and Vegetable Kebabs
Sometimes, we just need an easy dish. Something so simple that we can create the dish completely absent-minded; because after a long day, we could all use a break – not to mention, a glass of wine or three. And admittedly, while the kitchen always has a place in my stomach, er… heart (it really…
Ricotta and Spinach Stuffed Chicken with an Herb-Tomato Sauce
Let’s face it – I’m a sucker for cheese. Just like wine. And any other condiment on our planet. So you get the cheese – with the tomato sauce as a condiment – and wine to boot? Hello, heaven. Friends, this is creamy, savory and such an easy weeknight dinner. It’s one of those dishes that…
