Can you keep a secret from the sous chef? Pretty please [with the recipe for this salad on top]? I have several loves in my life – not just him [I know, shhhhh…..]. There’s our fury four-legged son [yes, to be expected], and then this beautiful bowl of spicy, crunchy goodness [GASP]. I know what…

Mediterranean Chicken Salad with a Red Wine Vinaigrette
Sooooo it’s Thursday, and I have a totally beauteous salad to share with you – bursting with color and texture – that’s going to give you that extra umph to get through the rest of the week. And maybe springtime generally. Because it’s that good. And I know exactly what you’re thinking: this is the best news…
Buffalo Chicken and Jack Cheese Salad
Buffalo wing sauce is basically what my dreams are made of. It’s pretty much sacred to me. As are many condiments – but this one is right up there at the top of my list. Throw it on a salad with a dollop or five of ranch dressing, and I’m in heaven. Oh, and can we…
One Pot Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Pleaseeee don’t be mad at me. I know, I know. I’m supposed to be moving onto spring, and here I am, whipping up one of the yummiest comfort food recipes ideal for, like, you know, January. But in my defense, even though it’s mid-March, mother nature in her crazy way drops snow and ice on…
Pesto Chicken with Spaghetti Squash and Kale
So, I’ve made no secret of my love for pesto. In fact, I profess it quite often: take exhibit A. But I insist on basil pesto. I love arugula, kale, and spinach – you name it – as much as the next person. But it shouldn’t go in pesto. Basil goes in pesto. That’s my story, and…
Rosemary Chicken, Avocado, and Bacon Salad with Honey Mustard
So, the sous chef is absolutely obsessed with this salad – and for good reason. For starters, it’s packed with, um, avocado and bacon… [i.e. a match made in heaven]. I mean, that’s pretty much as close to chocolate and peanut butter, or wine and cheese as you’re going to get. So yeah. Now, I’m…
Crispy Baked Buffalo Chicken Tenders
You guys, I have great news. Believe it or not, these baked buffalo chicken tenders are magical. The sous chef is a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan – born and raised, through and through. And this past Sunday, the Steelers won the divisional round against Kansas City – and guess what we whipped up for a game day…
Chicken Marsala with Sage & Mushrooms
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…
