Summer in the south gets HOT. I love the heat and humidity and summer storms. Sunny days at the beach. Ice cream and popsicles and lazy school free days for the kids. I tend to cook a bit lighter and serve more big salads in the summer time. I love a good salad but itContinueContinue reading “Crispy Chicken Taco Salad”

Thai Peanut Chicken Rice Bowl with Lime Mango and Veggies
I adapted this recipe from Half Baked Harvest. It is a bowl of warm rice topped with savory red curry marinated chicken breast, with a curry coconut peanut sauce, with veggies and mango. I am a big fan of Thai peanut sauce and red curry, and the addition of the mango mixed with jalapeno andContinueContinue reading “Thai Peanut Chicken Rice Bowl with Lime Mango and Veggies”
Crispy Chili Chicken, Spam Fried Rice, and Soy Ginger Potatoes
This sounds like a lot of food, I know, but my oldest just got home from college for the summer, and he’s making up for lost time. This chicken recipe is based on one from Milk Street.

White Chicken Chili with Pan Seared Asparagus
This is new recipe I am trying for white chicken chili that I adapted from Pinch of Yum (link at the bottom). Love her site! It’s different than other chicken chili recipes I’ve made before because it has bacon in it! We love bacon, so this is a plus. I modified the recipe and didContinueContinue reading “White Chicken Chili with Pan Seared Asparagus”

Cemita Poblana de Milanesa, Esquite Tostado Con Crema Y Queso, Iced Cafe de la Olla, and Flan Napolitano

You know how you excitedly buy some cookbooks, only to find you really only like a few recipes in them? This isContinueContinue reading “Cemita Poblana de Milanesa, Esquite Tostado Con Crema Y Queso, Iced Cafe de la Olla, and Flan Napolitano”
Mapo Chicken with Rice and Quick Kimchi Cucumbers
This dish is inspired by the delicious Mapo Tofu, but uses boneless chicken breast pieces instead. It is savory and spicy, in the tongue tingling way that only Sichuan peppercorns produce. It should be served on white rice, and adding a pickled component on the side really rounds out the flavors. You can find theContinueContinue reading “Mapo Chicken with Rice and Quick Kimchi Cucumbers”
