To be clear - I LOVE a rotisserie chicken. They make everything so easy! I recently used one to make this quick chicken salad for a picnic. Quick, simple, and travels well. Enjoy on a crusty roll or lettuce leaves!
Bruschetta
Tomatoes. Pure perfection. Add in basil and garlic and serve over toasted bread? More perfection! I always order bruschetta if it's an option on the menu. Try this recipe to make it at home!
Zesty Tuna Salad
I love a classic diner tuna salad (melt or sandwich or by itself!) but stay at home restrictions have restricted restaurant access. This easy version gets its delicious kick from mustard and scallions. Enjoy it as is or on a delicious tuna melt!
Scottish Potato Salad
Growing up I was lucky enough to move around the world and experience food from a multitude of cultures. But throughout all of these travels my mum always made us recipes from our Scottish home. One of these was her potato salad recipe! It's less creamy than American potato salad, can be served warm or chilled, and is a little bit healthier too. Try whipping up this easy side dish for your next party or potluck!
Avocado Cucumber Chicken Salad
Summer is here! Which means that once again it is just too hot to turn on a stove or an oven or anything else that generates heat. Enter this great salad recipe! No cook, easy to make, and filling enough to be dinner recipe! It's a great source of protein and wonderfully colorful to serve on a summer's day. Enjoy!
Slow Cooker Taco Chicken
Ah tacos. So wonderful. So delicious. So not good for the budget if you're always ordering them as take out! (Guilty as charged) So how do we save some dollars? We make our own tacos! And it all starts with the meat. This is an easy recipe for taco style chicken inspired by a coworker but with a few of my own kicks. If you don't have time to make my Mexican spice blend you can use a packet of taco seasoning. Toss it in the slow cooker and let it come together on its own!
Mexican Spice Blend
A packet of taco seasoning can help in a pinch but making your own is cheaper and you can suit it to your own taste profile. I use this when making chicken for tacos, enchiladas, and other dishes. Delicious, easy, and customizable! How do you like to balance your spice blend?
Mango Salsa
I got this idea from the Del Monte mango salsa recipe. It was a good base but it was definitely missing the kick I like to get from my salsas! Very easy to make and a healthy, colorful snack. Not to mention the praise you'll get if you bring this to a party! Awesome way to stand out from the usual chips and salsa crowd. Enjoy!
Mango Salsa Chicken
I know I've said it before but I'm going to say it again - chicken should never, ever, EVER be boring! A healthy dinner does not equate to a boring dinner. My mango salsa chicken is inspired by the Del Monte recipe for mango salsa - with a few tweaks to give it more of a punch. This dish pulls together delicious and beautiful fruits and veggies for a colorful and fabulous meal. Make it and freeze it for later or have everyone round for dinner! Enjoy!
Mozzarella-Stuffed Meatballs with Sauce
Sometimes you need some good old judgement-free comfort food to get through the winter day. Or a gloomy day. Or a Tuesday. These meatballs are so much fun to make but you have to be willing to get your hands messy! Beef and sausage are combined for the meat and fresh mozzarella is rolled into the center for gooey cheesy goodness. Cook these up and store them in the freezer or gather round your friends for a dinner party!
