YES. This happened. We made some healthy BLT chicken salad and shoved it inside/heaped it on top of an avocado. When I say "we" made, I really just mean me. And Boone, who sat at my feet. And blitz, who kept trying to take bites of the lettuce. She loves her some lettuce. Her true obsession is kale, though. Kale is the cheese to her macaroni. The syrup to her waffles. The BLT chicken salad to her ...
Baked Chicken with Tomato Cream Sauce and Capers
Mmmm flavas. So many flavas. Perfectly seasoned, juicy chicken; tangy, rich, creamy tomato sauce; salty, bright capers. So much yumminess. You know what's awesome?? Baking chicken. You would really think that someone who is as obsessed with cooking as I am would have discovered this awesome technique earlier in life, but NO. I have baked whole chickens before, but never just chicken breasts. ...
Easy Crock-Pot BBQ Chicken
Staaahhhppp I'm in love. So obsessed with this chicken. This is seriously the EASIEST recipe ever, yet it yields probably the most flavorful and moist chicken I have ever eaten in my life. Again...I'm obsessed. You know how sometimes when you cook just meat (rather than soups/stews/etc...) in a Crock-Pot, it turns out pretty dry? Tender, yes - but also dry! It makes me sad when this happens. I ...
Cashew Chicken
Cashew chicken...one of MA FAVES when it comes to Chinese take-out. I love the different textures from the chicken, veggies, water chestnuts, and cashews. But the BEST part, in my opinion, is when the sauce kind of soaks into the cashews, softening them and loading them with delicious, saucy, flavor. You could say I am quite the expert on Chinese take-out. It is a go-to for Seth and I on lazy ...
Sticky Baked Chicken Wings
Warning: I am hungry. So if I seem even more enthusiastic about the food than usual...that is probably why. Paired with the fact that I am already EXTREMELY enthusiastic about these wings, things might get weird. You guys.......these wings....these winngggssssss. No words....just tears....?????. I never really, truly, fully, completely believed that you could achieve the perfect wings in the ...
Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Strips
Okay, I love these. ???. LOVE. I worked at a sports bar in college, and we served garlic parmesan chicken wings, aaaand they were basically the best things ever. A few months ago, Seth and I went out to eat, and guess what I saw on the menu?? Garlic Parmesan chicken strips. They were just as delicious if not more delicious than the wings from college. So I was determined to recreate this recipe ...
Spicy Thai Noodle Bowls
Thai food. Thhhaaaiiiii fooooodddd. IT'S SO GOOD. And so, so, so, soooo flavorful. You will never have a bland bowl of Thai food. And this Spicy Thai Noodle Bowl...I could pretty much eat it for every meal. You know a few days ago when I posted this Single Serving Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate and was talking about how my fridge is always overflowing with food? Since I still have to consistently ...

“One Sheet” Brown Sugar, Dijon Chicken
You know how one pot meals are basically the best things EVER? This is exactly like a one pot meal, but it's a one sheet meal instead! You throw everything onto one baking sheet, bake for thirty to forty minutes, and dig in! SO easy. The best part about this recipe, however, isn't the simplicity. The best part is the flavor that comes from the brown sugar and Dijon mustard. Oh....my goodness. ...
