Variations Chicken Substitute: Swap chicken breasts for turkey breast or tofu to maintain a similar texture and ability to absorb the spices. Greek Yogurt Alternative: Use low-fat plain yogurt or a dairy-free yogurt alternative to keep the creamy texture and tanginess in the sauce. How to Make A Pita Sandwich Step #1: In a large bowl, whisk together the cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, paprika, allspice, and vegetable oil. Add the diced chicken pieces and toss well to coat....

Remember in my Citrus Marinated Mexican Chicken from last week when I told you I had a great recipe for Mexican Three Bean and Three Pepper Salad? Well… I hate to say I told you so, but… Yowza! This bean and pepper salad has SO much flavor. I decided to use dry beans in this instead of canned because they are so much cheaper and I use a really easy no-soak oven method....

I appreciate these 30-minute Monday recipes more than ever. I feel like I’ve never been so busy in all my life! This Herbs de Provence salmon recipe doesn’t dirty up your kitchen or leave you with a sink full of dishes to do, either. I don’t know about you, but when I’m done with dinner, I just want to plop down on the couch and call it a day. I loathe having dishes to do when I’m full and comfortable and just want to relax....

on Mar 05, 2023 4 Comments I absolutely love one dish meals, especially sheet pan dinners. I love that everything cooks on one pan for an easy recipe and super easy cleanup! And this Parmesan Crusted Chicken Dinner with broccoli has been on rotation in my house for years! I shared it in my cookbook and it is easily one of the recipes I’ve received the most emails from cookbook readers about how much they love it, too....

on Jun 29, 2011, Updated Oct 06, 2021 22 Comments Have you ever had them? If not, you really should make them soon. Like today. And then again tomorrow. They are scrumptious. And easy. Hoecakes, also called corn cakes or Johnny cakes, make a delicious appetizer or side dish topped with a big pat of butter, a little sour cream and fresh chives, or even tomatillo salsa verde. Paired with pork tenderloin or alongside a big salad, you can really fit hoecakes into just about any menu....

If you are looking for a bright and beautiful salad that is perfect for Easter, Mother’s Day, and all of those spring and summer get-togethers and parties, then I think you will love this Strawberry Spinach Salad!...

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably starting to dust off some of your favorite freezer and slow-cooker meals as we get closer to Fall and Winter. One of my very favorite go-to dinners when the weather gets cold, the sky gets dark, and I get lazy, would be this braised curry chicken recipe. You can make it for dinner in about an hour, or you can use one of the adaptations below to prepare it for the freezer or the crockpot in just fifteen minutes....

on Jun 24, 2011, Updated Sep 08, 2023 22 Comments You see, there was a new restaurant in a nearby town that quickly became all the rage. Oddly enough, I think it was the first Mexican restaurant in our area. We’d drive for 20 minutes to happily wait for a least an hour or so for a seat before heading to catch the latest movie and hold hands. But honestly, the cheese dip, chips, and salsa were as much of a draw as the excitement of hand holding....

If you’re anything like me, this time of year you find yourself with about six million things to do and simply not enough time in the day. Can you BELIEVE Thanksgiving is next week? Yesterday, my sister and I talked about “getting a head start on holiday shopping.” <— this is the domestic life I have built for myself. We’re so busy working on the new house that we’ve decided not to decorate the house for Christmas this year....

I have a bit of an obsession with skillet meals. It’s no secret that my Tuscan Chicken Skillet recipe is the most popular post on TWK, and for good reason, too. Who doesn’t love one-pan meals that are done in less than an hour? You’ll also love this Sausage and Pepper One-Pan Pasta Skillet and my Saucy Mexican Chicken Skillet for busy weeknights and picky eaters! I figured that you are probably in need of another skillet recipe to add to your repertoire, so I came up with this new Moroccan Chicken Skillet recipe!...

on Jul 08, 2016, Updated Sep 09, 2021 2 Comments I absolutely love the flavor combination in this salad! Crunchy, delicious vegetables – cabbage, lettuce, broccoli, cucumber, peas, carrots, and more mingled with tender chicken and topped with a tangy peanut sauce! Yum! I love being inspired for recipes. The inspiration comes from so many places – my family, friends, visits to favorite restaurants, and traveling. But honestly, I get more of my inspiration from what is fresh in our vegetable garden and what fresh produce is in our weekly CSA box....

on Jan 18, 2013, Updated Jun 14, 2023 30 Comments Mercy! How is it possible to love Baked Spaghetti or Baked Ziti more and more every single time you taste it? Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve had it twice. Yes! You read that last sentence right. Twice in two weeks! It’s that good. It reminds me of my Skillet Lasagna in how quick and easy it is to prepare and how much everyone loves it....

on Aug 08, 2013, Updated May 19, 2023 284 Comments BBQ Chicken with Bacon and Cheddar makes the perfect addition to a summer weeknight or weekend menu. The delicious flavor combination of chicken, smokey bacon, spicy peach BBQ sauce and the creamy, earthy flavor of the Cheddar cheese is pure magic! BBQ Chicken with Bacon and Cheddar Recipe The rich and creamy texture of the cheddar paired with the spicy, sweet and smokey flavor of the peach BBQ sauce is perfection on a plate!...

on May 27, 2015, Updated Jun 21, 2023 72 Comments If you are a Caprese salad fan like I am, I think you will love this easy and delicious Caprese grilled chicken recipe. It is on regular rotation at my house throughout the grilling season (and even beyond)! Juicy grilled chicken is topped with thick slices of mozzarella cheese that become warm and even creamier as they rest on top of the grilled chicken....

on Sep 03, 2013, Updated Feb 24, 2023 22 Comments First, I do have to share that you want to make sure that your chicken is uniform in size. You can handle that by placing your skinless, boneless chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper or in a zip top bag and pounding it with an iron skillet or mallet, whichever you prefer. OR, you can (very carefully) hold a sharp knife parallel to the cutting board and slice your chicken in half horizontally....

on Dec 03, 2015, Updated Nov 23, 2021 4 Comments I love the high contrast in these cookies. The swirl of rich and dark chocolate from the chocolate cookie and the stark white from the powdered sugar, the crispy exterior and the chewy center, the deep chocolate flavor and the pure sweetness of the sugar coating. They really are a pretty amazing little cookie. And while I’ve been making these chocolate crinkle cookies for what seems like eons, it only dawned on me last year to add a little something to them to make that chocolate flavor really shine....

on Jan 08, 2014, Updated Aug 04, 2023 20 Comments Perfect for anytime of the year, but I have to say that they sure do brighten up a winter morning. Just the smell alone is enough to make you appreciate them! But seriously. The topping of toasted coconut immediately grabs your attention when you first see them and then as you dig into them with your fork, you see the bits of coconut and specks of lime zest mingling throughout the waffle itself....

on May 08, 2013, Updated Oct 15, 2021 11 Comments I like to make these crab stuff mushrooms ahead of time and then bake them right before serving for dinner. You can easily assemble the crabmeat stuffing and stuff into large Portabello caps for a dinner or in smaller Portabello or even white mushroom caps as an appetizer up to a day before you plan to use them. Their versatility really does make them a go-to recipe in my book....

How to Make Seafood Chowder Step #1: Cut the salmon and halibut into 1/2-inch chunks. Last summer, when we were in Alaska, we were able to enjoy some great Alaskan seafood. One night, we had dinner in Anchorage at the 49th State Brewing Company. My husband ordered the highly recommended King Crabby Grilled Cheese, which was delicious. This grilled cheese sandwich was made with grilled sourdough bread, a crab meat blend, Swiss and cream cheeses and served with brewpub fries and our famous Alaskan seafood chowder for dipping....

How to Make French Apple Cake Step #1: Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit (175° Celsius). Grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter. For the easiest cake removal, line the bottom and sides of the prepared pan with parchment paper and grease the top of the parchment paper with butter. For this cake, I added a layer of granulated sugar on top of the batter before baking, which gives this cake a sweet crispness on the top after it finishes baking, almost like a layer of sweet crust, and it really makes all the difference....
