Texas Thai Tacos
Why Texas-Thai chicken in a taco? Because everything tastes better in a taco! I live in Texas. We are blessed to have restaurants from almost every possible cuisine here. One of my favorites is Thai. So I decided to make a quick, easy Thai-inspired dish with a Texas twist: Texas Thai Tacos. It includes all…
Creamy Cajun Chicken Lasagna
In my quest for quick, easy, creamy, cheesy comfort food, I searched the food blog world and found two favorites: Skillet Lasagna From Valerie’s Kitchen and Cajun Chicken Pasta On The Lighter Side from SkinnyTaste.com. If these two recipes got married, this Creamy Cajun Chicken Lasagna would be their love child. It is a skillet…
Italian Sausage, Peppers, & Onions Tacos
I am no longer the head chef in my kitchen anymore. No, I have been demoted to Sous Chef. Our sweet yellow lab, Rosie, has taken over as head chef. Rosie takes food very seriously. She loves food. She lives for food; and supervises my cooking while laying on the kitchen floor. She does not…
Pizza Pasta Casserole
Last night I was in the mood for a cheesy pasta dish. However, hubby wanted pizza…but I want pasta. Who wins? Who do you think? I’m the cook! But not a selfish one….at least not tonight! Then I found out that AllRecipes is asking that we, AllRecipes Allstars, make recipes from their collection of Johnsonville…
Chicken Piccata
Chicken Piccata is a delicious, flavorful and easy chicken dinner with capers and can be on the table in 30 minutes. Generally, on Sundays either we visit my sister’s family for dinner or visit my husband’s Mother for lunch. On other Sundays it is just the two of us. This was one of those Sundays…

Adapted from AllRecipes.com, this delicious, healthy, easy, budget-friendly, one-dish meal is one of our favorites and is perfect for the start of fall.

With chicken, onions, carrots, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and garbanzo beans, it is similar…

Quick and Easy Chicken Posole
My first recipe as part of the AllRecipes.com Sunday Supper movement is Quick and Easy Chicken Posole. As an AllRecipes.com Allstar, we were asked to select a recipe from their healthy MyPlate recipe collection. After reviewing the recipes, I saw the Quick and Easy 20-Minute Chicken Posole, which happened to be very similar to my own…
It’s Greek to Me Broccoli Slaw
If you follow this blog, you know that I love slaw, like Crack Slaw, and especially this Greek Broccoli Slaw! I love the colors and the flavors! It is fantastic with chicken, barbecue, picnics, and just about everything else. However, I don’t love mayonnaise in slaw. Don’t get me wrong. It tastes great. However,…
Cajun Sloppy Joe Burritos
Does this sound familiar? I’m driving home from work and start to think about what to fix for dinner. Near panic ensues; but then I remember that I browned some ground beef last night. All I have to do is add a sauce and can make Sloppy Joes. Whoohoo! Dinner Solved! However, then I arrive…
Chicken Mango Salsa Salad with Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette
I love summer salads, especially this Chicken Mango Salsa Salad with Chipotle Lime Vinaigrette. So I’m sharing my favorite. I came up with this main dish salad as a way to use up leftovers the day after we had chicken fajitas with mango salsa. It has many layers of flavor and a fantastic homemade Chipotle…
Chicken Cacciatore
Hubby was bummed out when he came home from the doctor last week. The doctor said he needed to reduce his carbs. I was relieved to know that he is ok and only a tweak in his diet is required. Even though we (because if he has to do it so will I) have…
Buffalo Chicken Jalapeño Popper Pizza
Buffalo Chicken Jalapeño Popper Pizza. My husband is counting the days until the pigskins start flying. In other words, the countdown to college football has begun. To prepare for the big game, I’m starting to plan the food. Since pizza is always a hit, I created this Buffalo Chicken Jalapeño Popper Pizza, adapted from Bakeaholic…
Sizzling Steak Fajitas
My husband and I had dinner with my sister and her husband last night. I mentioned my new blog and the recipes I had been trying, specifically the Goya fajita recipe that I planned to make the next day using the Goya Adobe seasoning I had received plus some Goya products I bought, such as…
Spicy Egg Salad Sandwich on English Muffin
I wanted something quick and easy for a light dinner. What’s better than breakfast for dinner. So I told my husband I was making egg salad sandwiches. To which he replied “maybe we could go out to eat.” Egg salad usually draws a rather ho-hum response from most. However, you have not had this spicy…
Antipasto Pasta Salad for Summer
It was a scorcher outside. While I sat in traffic for an hour on my way home from work, the car dashboard said it was 104 degrees. No relief in sight until about October. Too bad I can’t afford to move to Alaska during the summer. Oh, but I digress. At least I knew…
