Chicken Burrito Bowl

Me- 🙂Boyfriend- 😕 I enjoyed this as an easy dinner. I used this Recipe as a general guideline and I made some variations. I left off the corn tortilla strips, I bought them but didn’t feel like making them. I didn’t season and grill the chicken as directed, instead I put some frozen rotisserie chicken…

Thai-inspired Barbecued Chicken

Me- ☹️Boyfriend- 😕 We liked the previous wings more. They were better after I stuck them in the air fryer for a bit, but they were still disappointing. The wings sat in a marinade that contained lemongrass, ginger, garlic, shallots, cilantro, sugar, coconut milk, fish sauce and soy sauce. While I love these flavors, the…

Orange-Glazed Chicken Wings

Me- 🙂Boyfriend- 🙂🙂 These wings were so good! The glaze on the chicken was very flavorful. I loved the hint of orange from the orange marmalade. The only negative feedback about this dish isn’t for the recipe at all. I deviated and picked up party wings (or wingettes) from Costco instead of deconstructing chicken wings…

Chicken Fajita Bowl

Boyfriend- 🙂Me- 🙂 Apologies for the photo, I got so excited for this dinner that I started digging in and forgot to properly plate my meal. I loved this. This is a great way to have Chipotle at home. I modified the recipe a bit by adding some seasonings: chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin…

Grilled Chicken Fusilli Marinara

Boyfriend- 🙂Me-🙂 Technically this is Broiled Chicken Fusilli Marinara. It was raining and the pollen has been killer so I wanted to prevent the grill master from dealing with pollen. So I broiled the chicken instead and it was nice and juicy. I was hesitant about the cauliflower fitting into this dish, but it was…

Almond Chicken

Boyfriend- 🙂Me- 😕 Boyfriend liked it. So much so that he had the rest for lunch today. Me? Eh. I think I would have liked it better by using pecans instead of almonds for the crust. I also think that I should have added dried basil to the crust seasoning since I didn’t have dried…

Greek Marinated Chicken

Boyfriend- 🙂Me- 🙂 We loved this dinner! I made the marinade following these instructions. I marinated the chicken for 6 hours and my boyfriend grilled them to perfection. I’m saving the recipe so that we can have them again sometime and I feel like it would be so good with grilled mushrooms also. We ended…

Vodka Chicken Fettuccini

Vodka ✅ Chicken✅ Fettuccine ✅Vodka sauce is one of my favorite pasta sauces. I’m not a super huge fan of marinara, to be honest. Through in some vodka and heavy cream to that marinara and I’m a happy girl. I really liked this cookbook’s vodka sauce recipe since it includes cannellini beans (the superior bean.)…

Buffalo Chicken Salad and Sparkling Pink Lemonade

We had a smiley face night. We gave both recipes a nice big 🙂 I thought that Pink Lemonade was pretty sweet at first but it grew on me. I was happy to find the frozen pink lemonade concentrate at Wegmans. Since this punch makes such a big bowl of punch, I couldn’t mix it…

Roasted Chicken with Clementines and Arak

I changed 2 things from the original recipe. I didn’t have arak on hand, but I did have Pernod and the authors included that that would be an acceptable spirit to use instead. I also didn’t see clementines when I was shopping at Trader Joe’s, so I picked up mandarins instead since they’re similar in…
