Chicken Enchilada Soup
Hello Soup Season! This is my favorite time of year… SOUP SEASON. Â Soup is comforting, filling and just perfect for a chilly Fall night. Â This Chicken Enchilada Soup is one of our family favorites and I hope it will become one of yours as well. Let’s Build Flavors In mu opinion to make a soup exceptional it all starts at the very beginning by building flavors. Â For this soup it starts with onions & green chilies and then all the spices. Â By adding the spices before the liquid it helps them really “bloom” or bring out all their best flavors, giving this soup a base for everything else to…

Poblano Corn Pasta
A Pasta Dish to remember I don’t know about you but I have been craving pasta and this Poblano & Corn pasta gives me everything I want and NEED right now. Â It is rich, creamy, a little spicy and just plain YUMMY! Â Grill It Up… One of the things I love most about this recipe is the grilled poblanos and grilled corn. Â Now I understand it is not grilling season but no worries you can either roast them or use an indoor grill pan and get just about the same effect. That is what makes this pasta a great option year round… you can grill everything outside or inside.…

Skillet Coconut Chicken & Rice
One Skillet and Done! I am a SUCKER for one skillet dinners. There is just something so satisfying about having just a few things to clean-up after cooking a whole meal for dinner. This Burrito skillet has everything you want for a complete dinner but all made in one skillet, making clean-up a breeze and dinner is done in no time. Toast the Rice! YES… I said to toast the rice. Don’t worry though I am not throwing rice into the toaster or the toaster oven, it’s all done in the skillet. Why should we toast the rice? Let’s Talk Chicken When it comes to Chicken and Rice…

bring on the orzo…
It’s start in the browning… Now the orzo makes this dish special but what really takes it over the top is the chicken and creamy sauce. To start building the flavor and to make the chicken stand out it all starts with browning it. When you season it (really well) and then put it in a HOT skillet magic happens. A deep brown crust starts to form and creates a delicious seal that keeps are the yummy juices inside the chicken…where they belong. Now as good as that sounds…it is just the beginning. All together now Now after the chicken is all nice and brown it is time for the real…

Smoked Turkey
Turkey Day (aka Thanksgiving) will be here before we know it (like in 2 weeks ) and it is time we talk smoked turkey! let’s talk SMOKED TURKEY I know most of us will roast or fry our Thanksgiving turkeys but this Smoked Turkey is the only way my family does it now.

Also make sure you give it enough time to thaw, We thaw our turkey in an ice water bath in a cooler (still in the…

Pineapple Skillet Chicken
Summer may be winding down but there is still time to make this Skillet Pineapple Chicken. I mean I love this dish year round… but especially in the summer.

They make weeknight dinners super easy, they are super fast to clean-up and typically are loaded with tons of flavors. This Pineapple Chicken is all that and more. Don’t skimp on the salsa! One of my favorite parts of this dish is the fresh pineapple salsa. It…

Instant Pot Lemon Risotto
Instant Pot for the Win! I am all about my Instant Pot. I use it for mac-n-cheese, chicken, mashed potatoes, cheesecake and now this Lemon Risotto. Risotto is one of my favorite sides but it can be a real pain to make. A few weeks a go I was over at a friends home and her daughter was talking about making her famous Lemon Risotto and I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. The thing was though is I didn’t want to stand over a stove stirring for 30-45 minutes so I decided to take a chance and see what the IP could do… and I was NOT…

Skillet Lemon Chicken
I am so ready for warm weather and I so ready for this Skillet Lemon Chicken. All in one skillet Yes you read that right….the chicken and sauce are all made in one skillet, start to finish. The beauty of one skillet is that the flavors are going to build on one another without a lot of extra ingredients and there is one one pan to clean up at the end. I am a big, big fan of only one pan to clean up…that gives me more time to spend with my family and friends. Light but still rich Even though this chicken is cooked in a cream sauce…
