Chicken

This salad marries my two favorite things: honeycrisp apple and delicata squash!      This salad just tastes like a fall day with a bit of chill in the air and a slight crunch of leaves at your feet.      My philosophy on salad is that if you are going to make a good salad great – you have to use a great salad dressing, and that’s why Marzetti® Tastefully Dressed™ Honeycrisp Apple...

I know pumpkin chicken chili sounds weird, but this is an amazing chili. My friend Ally (here is here blog!) recently came out with an eCookbook and I immediately bought it.  She had a recipe for a beef pumpkin chili and since I was using stuff I had on hand, subbed in ground chicken for the beef.  I grind my own chicken though! How to...

When Hannah was little we used to pick up McDonald’s every once in a while.  I would order the 20 piece chicken nuggets knowing full well that Hannah would eat a few and I would eat the rest.  And I wonder how I got to 211 pounds!  These my friends are my grown up chicken nuggets. They have cilantro, Parmesan cheese and since I love...

A great way to use up your farmers market bounty is to make this easy marinara with chicken sausage meatballs.

Whether you call these chicken meatball ravioli, or chicken meatball wontons, all I know is that steamed or air fried, they were delicious! For example, watch a bunch of YouTube videos by searching “how to fold wontons” and you’ll get the idea.      Finally, wontons are so good – please try these shrimp and snap pea wontons.    

These chicken sausage meatballs were the first dish I made living alone. After just a month of falling in love with a townhouse, and jumping through all the hoops with a realtor, attorney, lender, etc., my roommates (aka my daughter Hannah and my son-in-law Jacob) moved into their new home today. Hannah was quite nervous when the movers got here, making sure they took all...

These KFC Chicken Nuggets will quickly make it to the top of your “must make” recipe list. One of my strongest food memories is visiting my grandparents in Warsaw, Virginia, then driving the what seemed like far distance to the “big town” of Tappahannock and getting Kentucky Fried Chicken.  I loved everything about it.  The crispy spicy chicken, the mashed potatoes and gravy and don’t...

The black bean burger recipe I posted on Friday?  Has morphed into so many things.  I made these southwest egg rolls that were so good.  No real recipe – I took 1 cup of the black bean burger mixture and combined it with a cup of chopped rotisserie chicken breast, a couple tablespoons of my salsa roja, and then air fried them for 4 minutes...

You will love these kung pao sloppy joes! Today is Day 1 of working from home.  I normally get up between 6:20 and 6:45.  Which means my alarm is set for 6:20 but I don’t actually get up until 6:45 after hitting snooze three times! Today I woke up at 7:45.  Jacob works from home so the coffee was already made.  The dogs snuggled with...
