I have no idea if this sesame chicken is authentic other than it has sesame seeds in it, but the sauce is money! My Dad used to love egg foo young growing up, and this sauce is a spicier version of that brown sauce.  It brought back a flood of memories. What is sambal oelek? Several people messaged me last night when I made this...

Costco Chicken Bake Recipe This was created out of a request from a few followers, and truth be told, I’d never heard or tasted the Costco Chicken Bake.  This...

Yep!  Another delicata squash recipe!  Can’t Stop Won’t Stop.  😂. This stuffed delicata squash clicks all the boxes – easy, meaty and delicious!

Homemade Spaghettios This bowl of homemade spaghettios brings me right back to my childhood. Specifically Sunday mornings after church.  I would heat the can of spaghettios, toast white bread and butter it, and scoop the bread into the spaghettios with each bite. Can you make homemade spaghettios with fresh tomatoes? Yep!  I frequent The Waypoint Farm at my local farmers market and scored these amazing...

These chicken souvlaki pita sandwiches are my new favorite sandwich.  One reason is that after marinating the chicken, this comes together in less than 15 minutes! Is this a traditional chicken souvlaki?  I am not sure, all I know is that it’s delicious. The star of the show?  The pan fried lemon! Once cooked for about 2-3 minutes per side, the lemon rind becomes super...

I love all things buffalo! My timehop reminded me that I made these buffalo chicken bombs a year ago, but there was no recipe. Gah! So I recreated it this morning with leftover grilled chicken from our cooking class earlier this week.  Side note, you can also cook this buffalo chicken in the air fryer at 370 for 8-10 minutes. This is so simple and...

Asian Zing Chicken Nuggets The Asian Zing sauce is one of my favorite sauces at Buffalo Wild Wings.  My Asian Zing Chicken Nuggets will taste as if you are sitting at the restaurant!
