WW Slow Cooker Paprikash

This recipe tasted good and was convenient, but it won’t be replacing John’s paprikash recipe anytime soon.

Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken

My sister’s been trying to turn me on to this Cooking Light recipe for awhile. I made it this week, with a couple changes, and really loved the rich result. Served with cheesy polenta and spicy broccoli rabe (recipe to come).

The RETURN of Stir Fry

Stir fry is a dish I used to cook weekly – Sunday Stir Fry, in fact, was my own personal ritual when I was living alone on Long Island. But somehow it’s fallen out of our dinner routine – I hadn’t made it in months.
Today was the return of stir fry for dinner. I used [...]

Recipe Variation: Smoked Beer Can Chicken

My love of beer can chicken is well-known. I actually found a way to make it even better! and it makes up for the fact that I don’t have a characoal grill.

John’s Jack Daniels Chicken

I don’t know how this recipe went so long without making it to my blog – it’s my favorite thing John makes.

Larb with chicken

Mmmm…..larb. This recipe called for ground pork, but they didn’t have any at the store – ground chicken made a yummy substitution. Pictured here with sesame green beans and shrimp wontons (recipe to come).

Curry with chicken legs, cauliflower and chickpeas

This impromptu recipe came together really nicely. The flavors balance together well.

Loaded Nachos

I was craving nachos the other day but had to watch my points, so I was very careful on measurements and portions when I made these. I think they’d benefit from avocado, but ours turned out to be rotten.
