Recipe: Spicy-ish Apricot-Glazed Chicken
Quick. Easy. Tasty. Minimal fuss and work. Serve with brown rice and a mixed salad, and this is a dish that you can take from fridge to table in under 30 minutes. I liked it, The Critters liked it, and so did Tony. It’s not fancy, but some nights you want flavor and convenience over … Continue reading
Recipe: Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps
Back in November, for Brenna’s birthday party, I fed all our guests their evening meal. I served finger foods: frozen pizza bites, fresh fruits and veggies, chicken sausage ‘pigs’ in a blanket, and these chicken bacon wraps. A friend of mine had made a similar dish for a party she threw, and they were bite-sized, … Continue reading
Recipe: Make-Ahead Freezer Chicken Burritos
Once upon a time (it may have been even as recent as a year or so ago) Tony and I used to buy those $0.50 burritos to stick in the freezer for when we were hungry or wanted a quick dinner. It’s been awhile since I’ve let us venture into the frozen food aisle of … Continue reading
Recipe: Whole Chicken in a Slow Cooker
Since we returned back from Okinawa (almost a year and a half ago now!) I’ve really fallen in love with cooking whole chickens. It’s no secret that I’ve loved my Oven Roasted Sprite Chicken for a long time now (though after making it that first time with soda I’ve switched to just using broth/stock as … Continue reading
Recipe: Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
I came across this recipe on Pinterest last week and decided to make it the next day. I brought Brenna to school and when Anthony and I got home we put this together with about ten minutes worth of work. I’ve discovered recently that slow cooker recipes are a very easy way to let little … Continue reading
Recipe: Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches
A few weeks ago this blog post from Tasty Kitchen popped up in my reader and I bookmarked the recipe to try out when I had more time. Turns out you don’t need much time with this one – five minutes in the morning before work, put in another five minutes of work an hour or … Continue reading
Recipe: Hawaiian Drumsticks
For one of the first times I don’t know where I got this particular recipe from, and my apologies to whomever I may have taken it from. This is not my recipe, but one’s thing’s for sure: it’s become one of our family’s favorite ways to prepare chicken drumsticks. I don’t have pictures of a … Continue reading
Recipe: Sweet and Sticky Slow Cooker Drumsticks
>So I can’t believe I didn’t post this recipe earlier. Actually, I can believe it; for while there I was about twelve books behind on my book review blog, though I’m finally caught up there. But getting around to posting the new recipes I’ve tried lately has not been at the top of my list … Continue reading
Recipe: Oven Roasted Sprite Chicken
> Several years ago – it must be going on five or six now – one of Tony’s aunts gave all the women in the family ceramic “beercan chicken” pottery cooking vessels, and for the past five or six years it’s either been sitting in the depths of my cupboards or has been dormant in … Continue reading
Recipe: Sweet, Sticky, and Spicy Chicken
>So I found this recipe awhile ago and from the reviews and the ingredients it looked like a meal that Tony would like. The Critters… not so much, but that’s bound to happen now and then. Because I’d copied and edited this recipe based on the reviews a couple months ago, I can’t remember if … Continue reading
