Tangy Chicken Salad

August 26, 2015 by sarahbeth Leave a Comment

Tangy Chicken Salad

Around the time I discovered the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans group, I was just beginning to branch out with my culinary desires.  I hated learning to cook growing up and I had 3 male roommates for several years during the “college” age.  Once I started to realize how much I enjoyed my time in…

Chicken Italiano

Chicken Italiano

Living in an apartment tends to limit my methods of cooking.  We’re not allowed to have any sort of gas or charcoal grill.  Summer time with no grill is just not allowed!  Trying to work around this annoying rule I have to live by, I put some serious miles on my George Foreman grill.  It…

Menu Plan Your Butt Off {September 21, 2014}

  School is in full swing. We’re finally getting into a routine and I’m all HALLELUJAH! Boring? Maybe for some. But I had a super exhausting, busy summer … it was so manic,  I’m actually welcoming the monotonous, day to day craziness. Menu planning is also in full swing, because honestly, it’s the only way…

Loaded Burger Lettuce Wraps

Loaded Burger Lettuce Wraps

Though I adore bread, I try to avoid it in general. The last few months, I’ve been almost exclusively gluten free – not for allergy reasons, but because I just tend to feel better overall. Usually, I don’t miss it too much, except when I smell fresh french loaves at the grocery store – or…

Three Bean Turkey Chili

  It may seem strange to be sharing a wintery turkey chili recipe when it’s summer, but the last week around here was rainy and gray. And cold. Cold enough that I wanted something warming and soothing. So I made a big pot of turkey chili. I always make double and we eat it for…

Light & Creamy Dijon Chicken Penne

Light & Creamy Dijon Chicken Penne

The other night was one of those nights where I was just standing in front of my fridge, begging the dinner gods for inspiration. I felt like pasta, but not the stand-by spaghetti. Then I remembered a dish I had years ago. Chicken, grainy mustard, heavy cream, a little rosemary. Served over rice. Really interesting,…
