Turkish-Spiced Chicken with Green Olive Relish

For any of you who follow me on Instagram, it’s pretty obvious that when I fall for a new cookbook, I fall hard.  So you really shouldn’t be surprised that I’m writing about another recipe from A Bird in the Hand.  If anything, you should 

Cumin and Turmeric Roast Chicken with Smashed Avocado and Corn Cakes

This may be incredibly shocking to you, but I don’t often serve my family cohesive, prettily plated meals.  I know, crazy! All sarcasm aside, the way it usually works is I’ll pick something that sounds really great from a cookbook, blog, or something that I 

General Tso’s Chicken

We all have our guilty pleasures, don’t we?  Even though we know it’s no good for us, we just can’t quit.  For some people, it’s a double cheeseburger from McDonald’s. (Come on, you can admit it.) For others, nuclear mac and cheese, from a box, 

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

I can’t let Father’s Day come and go without posting a recipe for these creamy chicken enchiladas.  They are my husband’s favorite.  No, I feel like that’s putting things a little too mildly. For  a person who married a woman who loves to cook, my

Slow-Roasted Chicken

It seems that in the food blogging world (and ok, maybe the world in general) something a little obnoxious starts happening in early February.  All of the food starts turning pink.  Or red.  Or covered in chocolate.  Or becomes inexplicably heart-shaped.

Bacon Bourbon BBQ Chicken Kebabs

Oftentimes, I find an simple-looking recipe, tag it for a weeknight on sight, and go about my business.  Come the weeknight in question, I gather up my ingredients only to realize upon reading the recipe that the recipe has some weird quirks that make it 

Moroccan Chicken with Lemons and Olives

Several weeks ago, I saw a recipe for preserved lemons (another goodie from Jerusalem: A Cookbook… I seriously need to get that cookbook already!), and decided it would be a fun thing to try.  I had a huge bag of lemons, so it seemed the 

Honey-Mustard Glazed Chicken

Honey-Mustard Glazed Chicken

A funny thing starts to happen when you’ve been writing a food blog for a while.  You’re always wanting to share the new interesting thing that you tried- something other people will find exciting, too.  But in doing that, I realize that I start forgetting
