Mixed Booger Salad with Snot and Scabs (Twisted Chicken Caesar Salad)

This simple twist on a Caesar salad gets a hit of gag inducing grossness from the name. I'm very proud of it. It's pasta tossed with romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese and (if desired) chicken. I rip up a rotisserie and throw it in there. I leave the dressing on the side (labeled "snot) so the… Continue reading Mixed Booger Salad with Snot and Scabs (Twisted Chicken Caesar Salad)

Knock Out Panda’s Orange Chicken

You know it. I know it. Orange chicken is absolutely delicious. This is not exactly earth shattering, breaking news. It's tangy and sweet, with a little hit of spiciness. Mmmmm buddy. Try not to lick your screen. I suppose you could go grab some take-out. If you wanted a lame-sauce, is-this-actually-chicken(?) version.  Homemade is absolutely… Continue reading Knock Out Panda’s Orange Chicken

Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken

I've heard tell that before there were slow cookers, women actually stood all day long in the kitchen. On their feet. Stirring, stirring, stirring. Checking meat and basting in an eternal loop. What kind of sick twisted world must that have been? I'll tell you what. My Crock Pot love affair prior to homeschooling looks… Continue reading Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken

Chicken With Curried Cream Sauce

This recipe originally called for turkey, which immediately conjured up a quote from  Bridget Jones' Diary in my head. "Once again I found myself on my own going to my mother's annual turkey curry buffet." But you have to say "buffet" like Renée Zellweger does..."boo-fey". I have adored Renée since Jerry Maguire, but am I… Continue reading Chicken With Curried Cream Sauce

Ultimate Chicken Fingers

This week I had a couple extra chicken breasts defrosted and needed to do something with them. So I decided to give the munchkins a special treat and make chicken fingers for dinner. I don't know what magical property chicken fingers have - but it seems that every kid in the history of the universe… Continue reading Ultimate Chicken Fingers

Baked Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken

I was having a serious sugar craving today. Epic proportions. I actually considered heading to the garage to raid the hidden cauldron of leftover Halloween candy. What? You don't keep the leftover unwanted chocolate for a sweet tooth attack? Just in case? No? That's just me? Oh. Well, forget I mentioned it then. Aside from… Continue reading Baked Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken

Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili

Am I the only one who always always always gains weight between November and January? It's very irritating. You'd think with as many treats as I make all year-long, my body would be accustomed to constantly noshing on goodies. But no. Hello spare tire. Back again? Wonderful. Just in time for 1000 pictures with family… Continue reading Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili

Monterey Chicken

Greatest company dinner ever. Amazing and gorgeous, not nearly as much work as it looks like and just incredible tasting. I've had this chicken on my Pinterest boards for a while now, just waiting for the right opportunity to make it. I served it up when my mother-in-law was visiting recently. Wow wow wow. I… Continue reading Monterey Chicken

White Bean and Chicken Chili

Sometimes you learn lessons from your kids that are subtle and nuanced. The munchkins don't even know how insightful they are. Then there's my daughter, who draws you a picture to show you how keen her mind is. And that picture changes you. This happened to me as I was making dinner recently. I've debated… Continue reading White Bean and Chicken Chili
