Thai Chicken Salad

This salad is really tasty and so easy to make, especially if you use a rotisserie chicken.  It’s a perfect summer dish.  The original recipe called for warm dressing, but since I’m not a fan of wilted lettuce, I let the dressing cool after cooking before adding it to the salad. The dressing would also [...]

Pasta Arabiata with Sausage

This sauce recipe is awesome!  It tastes like something you would get in a restaurant.  The original recipe calls for cooking the sauce for 4 minutes, but I like the flavors when the sauce is simmered for a longer period of time…it’s richer and bolder.  But if time is short, you can certainly cook the [...]

Crock Pot Turkey Chili

This chili is so delicious.  It can be made completely on the stove or once assembled it can be simmered away in the crock pot.  I used my crock pot, and this chili is awesome.  It is thick and hearty and delicious.  I used ground turkey, but you could certainly use ground chicken or beef. [...]

Fried Rice

Here’s a great recipe for leftover chicken or turkey or use a rotisserie chicken. The leftovers are great too! The recipe is adapted from the November 2009 issue of Southern Living. Ingredients: 2 TBSP vegetable oil, divided 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 c. diced onion 1/2 c. diced red bell pepper 1 c. cooked [...]

Tamales

We love tamales, and this recipe is by far my most favorite.  I love them more than any tamales I’ve had at any restaurant (except for maybe Berry Hill Bar and Grill). This recipe is adapted from the Helena Tamales recipe in the April 2005 issue of Southern Living. Ingredients: 1 package of dried corn [...]

Easy Chicken and Dumplings

This is a tasty, hearty, and super easy version of the slow cooked classic: chicken and dumplings.  Be sure to use low sodium broth, and if you don’t I would suggest using half broth half water, otherwise it will be too salty (trust me–there is plenty of salt in the rotisserie chicken, cream of chicken [...]

Cincinnati Turkey Chili

It’s getting cold outside and that means it’s time for soups and chilis…my favorite time of year!  And it’s no secret that I live chili, and I really do love Cincinnati chili.  I’ve made two other versions: Cincinnati Chili and Cincinnati Chili Take 2. This version was quite tasty and we had enough for a [...]

Spicy Chicken Tacos

I so love salsa fresca, and I thought it would taste really good with some chicken tacos.  And not just as a condiment, but as part of the flavor of the chicken. I was right.  It was delicious! Ingredients: 1 TBSP olive oil 3 1/2 c. cooked shredded chicken 3/4 c. salsa fresca Tortillas and [...]

Curry Rice Salad

This is a go to dish (albeit I haven’t made in a long time).  This recipe comes from my grandma Clark.  She makes it for brunches, baby showers, wedding showers, and all sorts of events.  This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or Turkey from Thanksgiving.  It’s also a great crowd [...]

Southwest Chicken Taco Filling

This chicken taco filling is quite good, and it’s made in the crockpot.  It’s important to use a flavorful salsa (I used Arriba! Fire Roasted Mexican Chipotle Salsa), and DO NOT use a mild salsa as there just isn’t enough flavor. After the dish is cooked squeeze some fresh lime juice to give the dish [...]
