Cashew Chicken Korma

The first time I ever had Chicken Korma with cashews was earlier in this pregnancy when I was still very nauseous and tired. My parents and siblings had stopped by for a visit, but I wasn’t feeling up to cooking dinner for everyone, so we ordered Indian food. We sampled all sorts of amazing dishes, but…

Recipes You Need to Try

I really lucked out this week and found several amazing recipes on Pinterest that I just have to share with you. These are definitely keepers! Cheesy Chicken, Bacon, Broccoli and Rice from Kevin and Amanda. I left out the chicken because I didn’t have any, so I added more turkey bacon instead. It tasted great and…

Greek Chicken Thighs

This recipe came about because I happened to have olives in the fridge left over from a somewhat unsuccessful attempt at Baked Eyeball Casserole for Halloween (the “eyeballs” melted because I put it back in the oven to keep it warm!). Anyway, I had these olives to use up. I also had baby spinach that was starting…

Roast Chicken, Potatoes and Beets

If you’re looking for a classy dinner that’s easy and cheap, then this meal is the perfect solution. I normally cook with boneless and skinless chicken, but it seems to be really expensive lately, so I decided to try bone-in and skin-on chicken legs with thighs. They were much cheaper, and I was very impressed…

Thai Chicken Salad

Sometimes I let Cole pick the meals for our weekly menu plan by giving him cookbooks with pictures to flip through. One of these cookbooks is The Family Dinner Fix: Cooking for the Rushed, which Cole loves because it has photos of every meal so it’s easier for him to choose something. I love it…

Butter Chicken Pizza

One of the things I love about making pizza is that it can be a creative way to use up leftovers. I happened to have Crockpot Butter Chicken in my freezer, but not enough to feed the whole family for dinner, so I decided to make pizza with it. Tony and I had recently visited a new Indian…

Mexican Chicken Crockpot Soup

I can’t get enough of Mexican food. I could probably eat Mexican meals every night of the week and not get bored. Probably the only thing I love as much as Mexican food is slow cooked food, so a recipe that combines these two things is sure to be an instant favourite with me. We’ve been eating a…

Mexican Pizza

I love pizza, because it gives me a chance to be creative and imprecise. You don’t need to measure everything perfectly, and it’s okay if you don’t have all the right ingredients. Basically you just need the dough, and something tasty to put on top of it. For pizza toppings, I often use whatever I have in my…

Baked Orange Chicken

I bookmarked a recipe for Annie’s Orange Chicken because the photo looked so delicious and I love orange and chicken together. I only glanced at the recipe briefly so didn’t notice until I was about to try making it that you have to fry the chicken in oil. I didn’t want to do that because a) it makes it less healthy,…

Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

Chicken…on a stick. It seems I’m on a perpetual mission to make food more appealing to my kids. I’m always on the hunt for new and creative ways to present normally mundane meals. Chicken is one of those foods that isn’t all that interesting to my kids unless I spice it up somehow. Chicken fingers with dip is one…
