Do you guys have Alpaca where you live? They have the best Peruvian chicken and we love eating there. I also love making any variant of the dish at home. The Aji Verde (green sauce) is really the star, but the chicken is amazing too. This recipe turns the dish into a salad with theContinue reading “Peruvian Chicken Salad with Aji Verde”

Double Lemon Chicken
This recipe comes from Ottolenghi’s Test Kitchen and it is a take on Chinese takeout lemon chicken, but lightened up and with a much deeper flavored sauce, achieved using preserved lemon paste. I had bought a jar of the above preserved lemon paste to make these Preserved Lemon Chicken Skewers and I had a quiteContinue reading “Double Lemon Chicken”
Fish Taco Bowls
Fish tacos are one of my favorite things to order at restaurants, and I also make them at home on a regular basis. This is a bowl version of a fish taco that uses rice/coleslaw as the base, which is topped with seasoned, seared fish, veggies, herbs and a super delicious sauce. I used frozenContinue reading “Fish Taco Bowls”

Garlic Balsamic Olive Oil Dip
As mentioned in my Chicken Balsamico post, I have some amazing balsamic and garlic oil that my mom sent from Michigan and my kids had been asking to have it with some homemade bread, so I made some fresh baguettes and this garlic balsamic olive oil dip to have with a charcuterie board. This dipContinue reading “Garlic Balsamic Olive Oil Dip”

Tandoori Fried Chicken Sandwich
We have been trying to eat a bit healthier lately, and that makes a weekend splurge even tastier! I saw a picture of this sandwich on social media and really wanted to try it.

Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice
I saw a picture of this recipe and it looked so satisfying. It is a pretty simple meal, but I like the combination of highly spiced, grilled chicken, cheese sauce and rice. Ideally you should always marinate chicken breasts the day before, unless the marinade contains a lot of citrus or vinegar, in which caseContinue reading “Mexican Chicken with Cheese Sauce and Rice”
Grilled Jerk Chicken with BBQ Sauce
Jerk chicken is one of my favorite ways to eat chicken. You can use the marinade and sauce in this recipe on boneless breasts like I did, or on thighs, or on bone in chicken which is the more traditional way to eat it. I had extra chicken breasts in my freezer so that isContinue reading “Grilled Jerk Chicken with BBQ Sauce”
Konigsberger Klopse (German Meatballs in Caper Sauce)
This dinner idea comes from some women my husband works out with who are both married to Germans. They were discussing German recipes and this one came up and my family is crazy about capers so I knew I wanted to try it (thank you ladies, for the idea). According to the recipes I read,Continue reading “Konigsberger Klopse (German Meatballs in Caper Sauce)”
