I am very into chicken with salads right now. Who am I? Hey, I like chicken, I’m just very picky about it. I think that’s actually to your advantage because that means I’m only sharing the best of the best chicken recipes with you. (I’m sure that my husband is giving me a funny face as he’s editing this. Only I could find a positive spin for being a finicky chicken eater.) Since it’s summer, I’m taking advantage of all of the fresh produce before it goes down hill in the colder months (which is typical for New England). I …

I took the classic ratatouille and turned it into a summer delight. A long time ago I made ratatouille over polenta. It was delicious and beautiful. However, to be honest I haven’t made it since because it is kind of a pain to make. For a while I’ve wanted to make a less fussy version of ratatouille because, let’s face it, who has that kind of time to meticulously layer squash.

I can’t believe it’s almost July. You know that means? Christmas in July on the Hallmark channel. Oh yes, I went there. If you know me, then you know I’m obsessed with watching Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. Any time of year that I can get them. I even have a bunch of them on DVD. They make me happy. 🙂 This meal also makes me happy. I’ve been on a kick with hearty vegetarian lunches lately and I’m adding this one to the rotation. The lime cilantro yogurt dressing is the star of this dish and what inspired …

I never remember how to spell “Mediterranean.” I love Mediterranean food. Give me anything with feta cheese, olives, and hummus and I’m a happy girl. Well, almost anything. It’s a shame (and quite frankly annoying) that I need spell check to remind me how to spell something that I make often, like these grain bowls. I will definitely be making these on a regular basis because they are so delicious. Picture a Greek salad with warm quinoa, grilled chicken, and hummus. Yum! Since I work from home now, I take more time each day to make my lunches because it’s …

Hello, tasty food. Yes sometimes I talk to my food. 😉 I like to make a lot of homemade recipes. (Uhm, hello, food blogger.) However, I’m not compelled to make a homemade BBQ sauce when I’ve found a great brand that does all the work for me. Now if you want to make your own BBQ sauce, kudos for you and this recipe will still work for you. BBQ sauce + chicken thighs = good eats. It’s really that simple. It’s a delicious crowd pleaser so if you’re looking for an easy dinner to pull together for some picky eaters, …
