Greek Panzanella Salad is a perfect summer weeknight meal that combines tomato, red onion, cucumber, chicken and toasted bread with a homemade vinaigrette.

Pineapple juice, tequila and two kinds of chili powder add big flavors to moist chicken thighs. Shred leftovers (if there are any!) for tacos the next night. I have a magazine problem. I subscribe to four food magazines. I sometimes read through them as they arrive, pin recipes that sound good, then ... hang onto …

Grilled peach salsa adds a smoky sweet flavor to spiced chicken breasts. Use thin-sliced chicken breasts to cut down on cooking time. I was thrilled to read "2015 Summer Cookbook: Farmers' Market Edition" in the June issue of Cooking Light. Why? They featured my local farmers' market, Headhouse Square. If you're in or near Philadelphia, this market …

Chicken verde enchiladas are a fast, delicious way to use up leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken. Add a little fiesta to your weekday supper!  This is another recipe that I've been meaning to share with you for quite some time. It's one that I found in a cooking magazine, and saved it, because (A) …

Chicken thighs, milk, cinnamon, lemon and garlic don't seem to be ingredients that pair well together. But give it a try — you will be amazed at the flavor! I stumbled across this recipe on The Kitchn while searching for a main dish to serve with my Hasselback Potatoes a la Mancha. I was intrigued because …

This delicious meal is ready in under 30 minutes! We're finally getting settled into our new apartment, and getting into a routine. I have finally started meal-planning again. Even though I'm …

You won't believe that this gourmet salad can be ready in just under 30 minutes! One of my favorite memories growing up was sitting down to a meal together with …

These Cranberry, Turkey and Stuffing Sandwiches are a homemade version of a Wawa Country staple: the Gobbler sandwich. Save your Thanksgiving leftover turkey, gravy, stuffing and cranberry sauce to make one yourself. Some wait for the return of Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes. For others, the surest sign of fall is the return of the Wawa …

Wow your Thanksgiving guests with this juicy, flavorful turkey. OXO will choose one winner to receive several tools to make hosting Thanksgiving easier! It's getting to be my favorite time of year. It kicks off on Thanksgiving Day. For the past two years, I've hosted Thanksgiving dinner (last year, for Dave's family; this year, for …

Have a healthier barbecue — lean ground turkey burgers flavored with chili powder and roasted poblano peppers, dressed with chili-spiced mayo. In summertime, we usually end up having burgers at least once a week. And since I prefer to use 85/15 ground beef (85% meat/15% fat), well, those calories can add up. And that's before …

When it's too hot to cook, these California-style turkey ciabatta sandwiches will fill you up without heating up your kitchen! It's hard to believe that just six months ago, we were buried in snow. But summer is finally here, and making itself known. Now, I'm in NO WAY wishing for cold weather again, but with temps …

It's recipe swap time again, hosted by A Taste of Home Cooking. This round's theme was Cooking or Baking with Alcohol. I was really looking forward to this round because really, I could receive any kind of recipe: appetizer, main dish, dessert, etc. I submitted the Steak and Eggs with Molasses-Beer Sauce that I made …

Pregnancy does weird things to a woman's body, in a number of ways. I mean, our internal organs get jostled and squished and pushed out of the way. Ever hear a pregnant woman claim she's starving, then she eats two bites and she's full? Yeah, that's why. Pregnancy also brings weird cravings and aversions. My …

I love taking a typical fattening comfort food and making it healthier. Take fried chicken, for example. I love a good dark meat drumstick, coated in crispy breading. But at 17 grams of fat per drumstick, it's not healthy to eat it often. By subbing white meat chicken breasts, soaking in low-fat buttermilk, and baking …

With our cold, dreary weather lately, I was really looking forward to the bright flavors in this recipe. So simple, so few ingredients, so quick to prepare. So, you know something had to go wrong, right? What should have been a 20-minute recipe turned into 2 hours, and ended with a smoky apartment and a soaking …

Growing up, I was a chicken noodle soup girl. I wouldn't touch anything else. After a long day outside in the snow, going sledding, building a snowman, and having a snowball fight, I came home to a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. My brother always had tomato soup. I …

  When trying to stretch the food budget, ground meat is often less expensive than a whole cut of meat. Also, you can get away with serving less meat per serving (I can eat one 4-ounce burger and be full, but if I ate only 4 ounces of steak, I'd still be hungry).    I …

Ages ago, I went out to Michigan to visit some friends. I was only there a few days, but had a lot of fun. We went to the Birch Run Outlets (on Black Friday, if my memory serves me correctly), had dinner one in Mexicantown, and dinner the next night at The Redwood Lodge in …

The Mister and I eat a lot of chicken. He recently had a physical and his cholesterol was on the high end of normal, so we try keep the red meat to once a week or less. The problem is, we eat chicken so often, I feel like I'm running out of new and interesting ways …

The Natural Resources Defense Council recently published a study that Americans waste 40% of the country's food supply every year. That 40% is spread across food that is thrown out at the source (the farm, plant, etc.), at home and in restaurants, but the average family throws away 20 pounds of food per person, per …

You might be thinking that this dish looks very similar to another that I recently blogged (the Pasta Primavera). They both have pasta, tomatoes, and goat cheese. But that's pretty much the only things they have in common.The flavors of each dish are quite different. The pasta primavera has a nutty, cheesy sauce (if you …

I have to confess, I think I have a problem. I think I'm addicted to sage. I use it every chance I can. I love it.  I typically pair it with foods associated with autumn, like butternut squash. When I saw it paired with lemon in this chicken dish in Food Network Magazine, I put …

I love making new dishes and trying new ingredients. Sure, I have some "tried and true" dishes that make an appearance every now and then, but a big part of my love of cooking (and eating!) is tasting new things.  I had ground chicken in my refrigerator for my son. The plan was to set …

Summer, to me, is finger foods: burgers, hot dogs, chicken legs. Up until now, I don't remember ever making chicken drumsticks at home. They've always been from fast-food restaurants. But in an effort to get out of our food rut (chicken breasts, pork chops, fish and the occasional sirloin steak), I picked up some drumsticks …

The Mister and I seemed to be falling into a vegetable rut. As much as I love to cook fresh vegetables, we often buy frozen for the convenience. And we always buy the same ones: spinach, broccoli, carrots, corn and green beans. Occasionally, we'll get kale or mixed vegetables. Once in a great while, I …

It's Blogger's Choice Recipe (well, more like Blog) Swap again! Sarah from A Taste of Home Cooking assigns us a blog, and we get to choose which recipe to make. My assigned blog was Kylee Cooks.  I found many recipes that I wanted to make, and finally settled on chicken taquitos. Taquitos are small corn …

After graduating from college with the "Freshman 15" still hanging on, I opted to try the South Beach Diet to lose the weight. It worked really well for me (I am not being paid to mention the South Beach Diet, nor suggesting it will work for anyone; just stating that it happened to work for me), …

I love the herb sage. I love the woodsy flavor. I love that it pairs so well with a variety of foods. It's one of the "oldest" herbs in terms of use in medicine and cooking. It has been used to treat, among other things, throat infections, mouth ulcers, stomach upset, and excessive sweating — …
