This Creamy Chicken Quinoa “Risotto” with Sweet Peppers and Mushrooms is a little richer than most of the quinoa recipes I make, but the cream and cheese were kept to just what seemed to be necessary. No need to turn the dish into a complete “fat fest”. The photos I’ve shared here are actually of [...]
After being so very very good for the first few months of the year, sloth and snacking over the past few have cause me to “rediscover” a few pounds. Thus, I’m currently working on getting them back off and hopefully a few more along with them. This Tomato-Caper Chicken and Cauliflower “Rice” Packets recipe is low calorie, low carb, gluten-free, and thanks to I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter also trans and hydrogenated fat free…
I make various versions of this Spicy Peanut-Lime Grilled Chicken Salad a lot in the summer. Especially since, chicken and peanut butter are two of the few higher protein foods my daughter will eat. She has been on a chicken kick lately, and selected chicken on her “talker” (tablet used as a communication device), along [...]
I created this Greek Chicken and Rice Cake Salad recipe as part of the “Rice Cake Double Take” challenge, to celebrate the addition of three new rice cake flavors from Lundberg Family Farms. Myself and several other bloggers, were sent the new Lundberg Rice Cake flavors, along with coupons for a mystery ingredient. As someone [...]
These “Samurai Slasher” Asian Chicken Drumsticks are actually a melding of two chicken recipes I found on the Cooking Light website archives, and applied to chicken drumsticks for the grill. It all started last night, when I grabbed some nice organic chicken drumsticks on the cheap (the sell by date was today). While I was [...]
I’ve pulled out all the stops today with an extra cheesy buffalo chicken pasta. I adore cheese, and every once in awhile, I give into my “fiending for fromage” sans limitations. Today was one of those glorious days. I basked in the joys of liquid gold, with the added enhancement of a spicy kick. Now, [...]
Paleo Chicken Fingers in Cauliflower Bread Crumbs (Origin) Cauliflower bread crumbs are my solution to “breading” Paleo chicken fingers. Commonly, those following a Paleo diet dredge tenders in ground nuts or coconut, to avoid grains. Many people are allergic to nuts, and they are high in fat & calories. I know that under this diet, [...]
This juicy roast chicken is humbly presented, no adornments, fancy plating or decorative backdrop. It is simply an organic whole chicken seasoned with salt and pepper and roasted. Fanfare would not suit it. So, why am I even bothering you about such a simple dish? It’s all in the process baby. I am not usually [...]
This healthy sausage and rabe recipe is pretty quick to make, since much of the prep work can be done during the cooking process. Most of us that cook a lot, tend to do this anyway, but with this particular recipe it seems to time out just right. It all started this morning, I was rifling [...]
This Chicken and Kale Salad was my lunch yesterday. Sweet onions and Kamut (an ancient strain of wheat, Yes, I have a preference in wheat berries, and this is it), round out the flavor and texture of the plate, while providing healthy complex carbohydrates. I already had Kamut precooked in my fridge, so this was [...]
