Coconut shrimp is one of my favorite things in the entire world, EVA. It is so delicious...there's just something about that slightly sweet, coconut-y breading that makes my tummy and taste buds so very, very happy. So I was thinking the other day - why not try to make coconut chicken instead of coconut shrimp? You still get that yummy, crunchy, coconut-y breading, but it's easier and cheaper to ...
Chicken Tikka Masala
My brother, Lyndon, and his wife, Amanda, came to visit this summer, and they made all kinds of awesome food. Amanda really loves to cook, too, and she's awesome at it. One night, her and Lyndon made Tikka Masala, aaaaannd I was freakin' out. It was SO good. So flavorful. So saucy. Perfectly spicy. Did I mention flavorful? Because the flavor was on point, people. So obviously I told them I was ...
Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup
I am creating a scale for comfort food. On one end, we have cold salad that you are eating while sitting in an uncomfortable chair, wearing super tight pants (the tight pants are key). On the other end, we have a steaming bowl of thick soup that you are eating while curled up in a blanket, sitting on your cushy couch in front of the fire place while it is snowing outside. We will call the salad a ...
Quick and Simple 5 Ingredient Teriyaki Chicken
Okay, this is officially the easiest recipe that has ever been posted on the internet. Or written in any cookbook. Or put on YouTube. To reiterate...THIS IS THE EASIEST RECIPE EVER. It only takes five ingredients and twenty minutes to make! The supa short time and craycray few ingredients aren't what make this recipe so awesome, though...

Buffalo Chicken Lasagna
Oh my gash it's been yeaarrrssss. Maybe not years, but it definitely feels like it's been forever since I've talked to you!

I am a tad bit obsessed with buffalo chicken anything...as you can probably tell from ...
Perfect 30 Minute Red Curry
Oh my gosh. Hold the phone. HOLD. THE. PHONE. This is quite possibly the best thing I have ever consumed in my entire life. Food, drink, anything. First of all...allow me to preface... Up until a few years ago, I had never tried Thai curry. I had tried Indian curry, and I wasn't a big fan of that, so I thought that meant that I wouldn't like any curry. Then I went to a Thai restaurant, someone ...
Pesto Chicken Meatballs Over Lemon Arugula
Between this recipe and the Chicken Meatballs with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce I posted recently, I think that chicken meatballs are my new besties. #bestiesforlife. Why? Because they are healthy, easy, and super yummy. Chicken is a much lighter meat than beef, and it also has a more subtle taste. Still supa delicious, but it yields to other flavors better, liiiikkkkkeeeeee curry sauce or PESTO, for ...
Skinny Chicken Alfredo
Wait. What just happened. This Skinny Chicken Alfredo just took the place of anything and everything I have ever loved in this world because it is that good. Like...fo reals. This pasta is my love language. If you want to make me happy, make me this pasta. Or make this pasta for someone else so they can become as obsessed as me. It will be like the "Pay it Forward" of Alfredo. I mean...I think ...
30 Minute One Pot Barbecue Chicken Quinoa Skillet
Can I confess something to you? I know you won't tell anyone. For my entire life - every single day of my entire life - I thought barbecue was spelled barbeque. When did I come to the realization that this is, in fact, false? I'm glad you ask. It was about five minutes ago. I had made my Pinterest image and everything (that I put at the bottom of each post) with barbecue spelled with a "Q." Let's ...
Chicken Meatballs with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce
These meatballs, these meatballs, these meeaattbbaalllllssssss. Question: why don't we eat meatballs for every single meal every single day? Answer: because we don't make good life decisions. Meatballs are SO GOOD. They are just so good. And the awesome thing about them? You can literally do a million different things with them. Correction...a million and one things. I'm going to be straight up ...
