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 [...]

Apple & Almond Chicken Salad

Few things are better than a really delicious chicken salad on some really delicious bread.  This chicken salad is really delicious. I have been convicted lately to use my cookbooks more.  I am often reminded of my dad saying to me and my sisters when I lived at home, “Why are you looking on the [...]

Chicken, Spinach & Mushroom Lasagna

This week was going to be a busy one.  With every other night but Monday being packed with some event, I wanted something to make for dinner on Monday night that would create good leftovers for the week and be quick to reheat.  Lasagna it would be.  And because I like to try new recipes, [...]

Chicken, Tomato & Zucchini Packets

One of the best things about this meal, besides being quick and simple, is that it is almost completely free of any kitchen clean up!  By baking the chicken and vegetables in little foil or parchment packages, you don’t have to worry about scrubbing down a pan that is coated with the remnants of roasted [...]

Chicken Sausage and Pepper Kabobs

Grilling makes almost all foods taste better, and it makes your neighbors jealous.  Last night I made these incredibly simple sausage kabobs and they were delicious.  The recipe is from The Food Network.  Here is the link. The pesto recipe needed a bit more oil, so I added about 1 tablespoon more than called for. [...]

Tomatillo Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

A while back I posted a recipe for chicken enchiladas from Tyler Florence.  They were good, but not the best.  At the beginning of that post I mentioned my all-time favorite recipe for chicken enchiladas, but did not provide it.  What was I thinking?  How could I be so selfish as to say how wonderful [...]
