Slow Cooker Coq au Vin
As we get closer to fall, you may be doing more slow cooker cooking. Last winter I made this slow cooker coq au vin recipe I found on the Williams Sonoma website and saved it to share for this fall. I followed the Williams Sonoma recipe pretty closely the only changes I made were that I added potatoes and when I took photos of this I didn’t have kitchen twine so I just fished out the bay leaf, thyme sprigs, parsley sprigs, and leek at the end. For this recipe you’ll need: Pinot Noir fresh flat leaf parsley sprigs fresh thyme sprigs bay leaf leek bacon chicken legs salt &…

White Bean Chicken Chili
I know chili is usually a fall and winter food, but hear me out – white bean chicken chili is lighter, more brothy than a regular chili, and I for one can have soup/stew/chili any time of year. Usually I make a turkey chili, but about 2 years ago I wanted to try white bean chicken chili and I found this recipe. I used this delicious recipe but modified it. The recipe is a slow cooker recipe and I modified it to cook on the stove. Keep reading to see how I changed it up. For this recipe you’ll need: chicken breast or thighs (I use rotisserie chicken) oil onion…

Dragon Noodles
I’m sharing a very easy dish today. I’ve been making this Dragon Noodles recipe since early 2019 when I found it on Pinterest. You’ll need: lo mein noodles (I like to use these flat noodles that my mom gets me from the Asian store) butter crushed red pepper egg brown sugar soy sauce sriracha green onion The original recipe calls for cilantro for garnishing, but if you’ve been following me on here for a while you know how I feel about cilantro! First, I cook the noodles. They cook very fast so once I drop them in the boiling water, I just keep an eye on them until they’re ready.…

Salsa Fresca Chicken
I hope you’re all having a good weekend so far! Today I’m sharing a recipe for Salsa Fresca Chicken. I found the recipe on Pinterest last year and mostly followed it. I made my own pico de gallo consisting of: red onion, lime juice, roma tomatoes, garlic, and jalapeno. For the recipe you’ll need: boneless, skinless chicken breast cumin salt black pepper garlic powder pico de gallo shredded monterey jack cheese The recipe also has you sprinkling fresh cilantro on top, but if you’ve been following me on here for a while you know I can’t stand cilantro so I left that out. The recipe is so easy, but does…

Ham & Chive Scrambled Omelet
Today, I’m sharing a really easy side dish or small meal that is an old favorite/comfort food. When my mom makes Chinese food (unless we’re eating noodles or something like that) it usually consists of white rice and an assortment of 3-5 side dishes. One thing I’ve eaten throughout my life is eggs with some sort of meat and a vegetable. It can vary. Sometimes it’s got roast pork and string bean niblets. Sometimes, like how I’m making it here, it is chives and ham. I took these photos last year when I decided to make this ham & chive (sort of) omelet to bring to work for lunch with…

Spicy Kale & Portobello Tacos
Do you ever use the website/app Yummly? I first discovered it about 2 years ago. I mostly use Pinterest, but occasionally I’ll check Yummy out. What I love about that app is that you can search for recipes by ingredients which I find really helpful when I’ve got leftover ingredients in the fridge that I need to use up. So 2 years ago I had leftover adobo sauce and baby bella (baby portobello) mushrooms so I searched Yummly for a recipe. I found a taco recipe using portobellos, adobo, and kale. Perfect since I also had kale! I followed the recipe above except I just eyeballed the amount of ingredients since…

Honey Mustard Brussels Sprouts Salad
How was everyone’s 4th? Since many of you may have been grilling and/or eating lots of food yesterday I thought I’d share a salad today. I found this delicious honey mustard brussels sprouts salad last year on Pinterest and it’s perfect for detoxing after all the food yesterday. I followed the recipe exactly except I used shaved brussels sprouts from the grocery store because they were out of fresh brussels sprouts. I also quartered the recipe since it was just for me. For the recipe you’ll need: brussels sprouts dried cranberries pecans red wine vinegar dijon mustard salt pepper garlic powder onion powder honey olive oil Since I got shaved…

Southwest Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
Most people would associate sweet potatoes with fall, but I love sweet potatoes any time of year. The recipe I’m sharing today I found via Pinterest almost 2 years ago and I’ve made a handful of times. It’s a Southwest Stuffed Sweet Potato. It is so tasty and filling. I can eat it with just a small side salad or something and be good for a meal. It’s also great to bring to work for lunch. I just pop a potato in the microwave and it heats up really well. For the recipe you’ll need: sweet potatoes olive oil black beans corn salsa lime juice cumin salt & pepper crushed…
