Baked Citrus Chicken

Baked Citrus Chicken

I’m always on the lookout for new chicken recipes.  Of course I require that they taste great, but I assign big bonus points for easy preparation.  And y’all already know I’m a citrus freak. You can imagine how happy I was when I first discovered Baked Citrus...

The Lazy Chef’s (Almost) Homemade Pizza

The Lazy Chef’s (Almost) Homemade Pizza

A week or two ago I was supposed to be working.  Football was on and it wasn’t going especially well.  I was listening to the game, scrolling Facebook, and mostly goofing off, when I saw my friend Staci had posted a photo that looked like this:  That's an oldfangled...

French Onion Chicken

French Onion Chicken

Although French Onion Chicken is delicious and has the best sauce/gravy known to man or beast, it isn't very photogenic.  Beige and brown foods are notoriously difficult to photograph.  But don't let the homeliness fool you.  This recipe is swoon-worthy,...

Stuffed Italian Sausages

Stuffed Italian Sausages

Heaven only knows where I first ran into this recipe, but I’m so glad I did.  I knew at first glance that we’d love it.  And with Italian sausage, mozzarella, and marinara, why wouldn’t we?     When I Googled Stuffed Italian Sausages in preparation for writing...

Sausage, Eggplant, and Peppers

Sausage, Eggplant, and Peppers

Eggplant deniers, listen up!  A week or so ago I got a text from my mom.  She had a recipe that belonged on the blog.  She told me about a sheet pan dinner she’s been making for a while now that my dad LOVES.  And after hearing what she does, I can certainly see why....

Baked Shrimp Scampi

Baked Shrimp Scampi

As long as we’re cooking quick and easy summer food, you need to know about delicious Baked Shrimp Scampi.  (You’ll note that this is also a quick and easy blog post.) This recipe is based on the typical North American version of Shrimp Scampi, specifically the one...

Pepper Jelly Glaze for Chicken

Pepper Jelly Glaze for Chicken

I have just discovered something fantastic. It’s a new sauce/glaze for chicken, and I can’t believe I haven’t tried it before. I was cleaning the refrigerator recently and found half a jar of red jalapeno pepper jelly left over from the holidays. I was considering...

Meatloaf Burgers

Meatloaf Burgers

I recently had a reader request comfort food recipes. I thought all of my recipes were comforting, but what do I know? So I asked what sort of thing he had in mind. The answer was meatloaf and mac and cheese. Fine. Meatloaf today, Macaroni and Cheese next week....

Lemon Chicken Pasta with Rosemary

Lemon Chicken Pasta with Rosemary

I’m on week 3 of working 7 days in a row, so I’ll be quick. Luckily, Lemon Chicken Pasta is the perfect thing for this situation, plus it’s really good. Welcome to your new family favorite! This is one of those one-pot pasta recipes. You don’t cook the noodles before...

Chicken and Dumplings

Chicken and Dumplings

You’ll see some Chicken and Dumplings topped with dropped dumplings that are steamed on top of a brothy chicken and vegetable base. Others have kneaded dough dumplings that have been rolled out and cut, then simmered in a flavorful broth with chicken and vegetables....

Jambalaya Fried Rice

Jambalaya Fried Rice

Please don’t call, email, text, tweet, or message me to say this recipe is straight-up heresy. I already know. My very favorite jambalaya comes from the cookbook La Bouche Creole by Leon Soniat. Mr. Soniat was an old-school Louisiana chef, and he wrote a food column...

Marinated Steak Salad

Marinated Steak Salad

Marinated Steak Salad is one of my favorite things to eat with my fingers, straight out of the refrigerator, standing in the kitchen, sometimes with the refrigerator door open. (Can somebody please get my Dad some smelling salts? After all, we don’t own the power...
