Chicken and Chickpea Stew

Houston received quite a bit of rain on Monday, and so that morning I began looking for good rainy day meals.  Of course soup came to mind, but then I came across this recipe for a chicken and chickpea stew on Epicurious. The recipe is simple.  Sauteed veggies mixed with chicken in a simple chicken [...]

Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

I haven’t been making meals at home much lately.  Lots of taking out, going out, vacation foods and eating holiday meals.  I’m trying to get back into meal planning, buying groceries for the week and hopefully feeling better.  We need to make the change from restaurant fare to home cooked meals.  That is my resolution [...]

Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken

The slow cooker gets a bad rap sometimes.  But not every meal that comes out of it has to be mediocre or full of cream-of-whatever soups.  I am currently in search of good crock pot recipes, and while I have had a couple mishaps, some of the meals I’ve made have been worth repeating.  This [...]

French Onion Chicken

We ate this for dinner Friday night.  I wish I’d had this recipe a few weeks ago when it was still chilly.  This is really more of a cool weather meal, and it definitely qualifies as comfort food.  Despite the warm weather we’ve had this past week, this was still a wonderful dinner and I [...]

Greek Chicken Pitas

These were so incredibly easy.  I have a 5 month old, so if I think they were a cinch to prepare, then you could probably do it with your eyes closed and one hand tied behind your back.  And because we didn’t eat until past 8 last night thanks to my sweet boy who would [...]

Chicken Caesar Club Sandwiches

My mother-in-law made this sandwich over Christmas when we went home to visit.  Thanks, Kate!  The recipe is an Ina Garten one, so it has no choice but to produce something delicious.  I made a few changes to the recipe last weekend when we had company. Here is the original recipe. I made 2 of [...]

Pretzel Crusted Chicken

The idea of covering a chicken breast in a pretzel crust is ingenious!  Add a mustard dill dipping sauce and this becomes an incredibly delicious meal.  This recipe is in the current issue of Fine Cooking, and can also be found here on their website.  Have I said before how much I love this magazine? [...]

Chicken Chili

A few weeks ago Ben and I decided to invite some friends over to watch Texas A&M play in the Cotton Bowl.  The game didn’t turn out the way I would have liked, but this chili exceeded my expectations.  This photo below of the delicious chili, however, is quite disappointing.  Sorry. With the little guy [...]

Freezer Meals

With baby countdown at 2 weeks and 1 day I felt it necessary to make some freezer meals for those days (of which I’m sure there will be many) that I don’t have time to cook a real meal.  I searched quite a few websites for recipes that would freeze and reheat well.  I cannot attest [...]

Baked Chicken Taquitos

Some of our great friends are leaving the hustle and bustle of Amarillo and are moving down to Houston at the end of the month.  We’re very sad to lose them and they will be missed!  It’s even more sad since they are some of the only Aggies we know up here!  We had a [...]
