Rotisserie Chicken Tacos

I have a confession to make. I’m lazy sometimes…when it comes to cooking that is. Sure I enjoy the pleasures of roasting a chicken myself. But there are moments in life when I want to get to the eating part quickly. So I turn to a rotisserie chicken to save me time in the kitchen. [...]

Bacon Wrapped Chicken

I find it humorous when people say they are intimidated by roasting a chicken. It’s super easy to prepare once you get the hang of it and makes for a really elegant presentation. Plus, nothing could be easier than letting the bird do its thing in the oven while you focus on other meal preparations. [...]

Chicken Salad with Pears & Traverse City Cherries

Having grown up just 30 miles south of the self-proclaimed Cherry Capital, I’m no stranger to the sweet and tangy world of cherries. Traverse City is located in the upper western part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. It’s proximity to the Great Lakes and access to Grand Traverse Bay makes this thriving area a perfect growing [...]

Crusted Chicken with Mixed Greens

I’m sitting in the backyard letting Sophie get some much needed fresh air. My neighbor has an older dog named Peppy that is nearly 1/3 her size. He’s old and clearly set in his ways, while Sophie still has the energy of a young puppy. Sophie almost never barks but constantly communicates through her tiny [...]

Chicken Salad Lunch

Promptly at 12:30 pm every day, I watch my coworker’s lumber up to the microwave to cook their frozen meals. As anyone with a food blog knows, I tend to have a lot of leftovers and those typically become my lunch. But there are times when leftovers are not an option and I also have [...]

Buffalo Chicken Tacos

I have a confession to make. I don’t really like watching football. But there are moments when I crave the type of grub you would find at any football party. Especially when it comes to the spicy and finger-licking goodness of buffalo wings. This recipe is a fun twist on the classic football favorite with [...]

Chicken Tetrazzini

I know its January, and I should be writing about salads and healthy items for everyone trying to stick to their New Year’s diet resolutions. Since I’m a believer that you can eat anything in moderation, then there is no need to feel guilty about writing this post. The idea for this recipe actually came [...]

Grilled Summer Vegetable & Chicken Kabobs

I could hear my dress shoes tap along the pavement as I bounced between the booths piled high with fresh picked vegetables. Every Monday, I stop by my local farmers market after work to take advantage of the season’s best flavors for my week of meals. The market was full of all of its bounty [...]

Marinated Grilled Lemon Rosemary Chicken

This was the entrée for my Impromptu Dinner Party. The sun awakens from a restful slumber and shines its golden rays of light through the herbs growing in my kitchen window.  About a month ago, Brent’s mom gave me basil and a parsley plant because she felt our kitchen needed to be filled with some [...]

Roasted Rosemary Lemon Cornish Game Hen and Vegetables

This was the entrée and vegetable side dish for my Saturday Dinner Party. The aroma was intoxicating as I placed the large pan of golden game hens on the table.  I watched as he took a bite of the crispy skin and moist flesh.  He closed his eyes, chewed for a moment and swallowed.  Then, [...]
