honey chipotle glazed chicken
honey is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to sweeten foods & drinks. tom will argue in favor of agave nectar, but honey brings along with it an incredible flavor that can’t be imitated . pair that with the slow burn of chipotles & we have a winner, winner chicken dinner. sorry, but that [...]
the big ass salad
basically a huge cobb salad. very old hollywood & oh so pretty. while ours isn’t entirely authentic (we weren’t going to buy three kinds of greens before we left for a week’s vacation, and blanching tomatoes just to peel them a little ridiculous here) it was, in fact, every bit as delicious. adapted slightly from [...]
salsa verde sour cream enchiladas
let’s get this fiesta started. cinco de mayo is wednesday after all & you’ll need a little something else to go alongside your margaritas. trust me. i’ve learned this lesson the hard way, aka the guy fieri road show circa my birthday 2009. things started innocently enough, but eventually something that i can best describe [...]
chicken enchiladas
after the enchiladas diablo debacle, i had to redeem myself. i knew annie wouldn’t let me down. full of flavor. way less heat. that can be a good thing, i’ve learned. from annie’s eats 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 jalapenos, seeded & finely chopped 1 tsp canola oil 3 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons [...]
super sexy chicken
yep. if you’re ever in need of a good, moist, well flavored piece of chicken, this would be it. originally called sixteen-spice rubbed chicken breast with black pepper vinegar sauce, that’s a mouthful & is better called (as the mister renamed it & it caught on) super sexy chicken. why? because it’s easy & outstanding [...]
white bean chicken chili
ok. maybe i’ve been living under a rock, but until we made this, i had never had white chili. and oh. wow. have i ever been missing out. it’s been cold lately. really, really cold. like our power bill was $40 more than it has ever been cold. & we’re just not used to that [...]
chicken pot pie
if you’re like us, this is a food that you haven’t tasted since, oh, maybe 2nd grade? and even then, it came from the freezer section of the grocery store, or the cafeteria line, but you still liked it, didn’t you? it’s okay to say yes. we’re all friends here.well this version takes a little [...]
spicy tortilla soup
Ok. First, let’s talk about how our soup looks nothing like the one from food network magazine. (theirs vs ours) I don’t know where theirs got that rich red color, but I’m guessing it has something to do with food stylists, because ours sure as hell didn’t have that intense red broth (yes, it [...]
chicken parmesan burgers
I’ve seen these burgers making their rounds on the food blog scene for awhile now, and finally decided to give them a try! They made a very nice, quick, easy, weeknight meal. Yay! …and they’re really good! (and yes, there is some marinara sauce under that amazing looking cheese) from Elly Says Opa! 1 lb. [...]
chicken chilaquiles
I used to hate chipotle peppers and the smoky flavor of the adobo sauce, but now I can’t get enough. Weird, huh? I saw this chicken stew on another food blog I enjoy, Voila!, and needed to try it. I refused to go to the grocery store, so my ingredients were slightly off, aka canned [...]
