Make Your Own Vinaigrette in 2 Minutes
One of my favorite things to make at home is salad dressing. You may have read my past post about my all-time favorite Magic Sauce dressing recipe. While I love Magic Sauce, it has a lot of ingredients, and I don’t always feel like getting the blender out to make it (no matter how much I love my blender). Thank goodness for vinaigrette. No matter what the situation, if you have oil, vinegar, and a bottle to put it in, you can make this tangy and delicious dressing or marinade. I’ll be the first to admit that store-bought bottled vinaigrettes are super convenient and come in all kinds of creative…

One Pan – Double Duty! Pan-Asian Chicken Thighs
What dinner can be made using only one pan and contains elements of both Korean and Thai cuisines? One-Pan-Asian Chicken Thighs … with roasted vegetables! Add a chopped salad, and dinner is served. Why One-Pan Asian Chicken? I found a great-looking recipe for Korean chicken thighs, but was missing a few of the key ingredients – honey and gochujang, to name a few. I used the ingredients I had, including raisins, applesauce, and Thai chili paste. The result was something probably a lot different than the recipe I found online, but the family raved! So, I’m going to share it with you.

Amazing Chicken Salad in Under 30 Minutes
Remember the chicken salad of your youth – or, the chicken salad found in the pre-packaged deli section of your local convenience store? I’ll bet it’s a mash-up of pulverized chicken bits, eggs, and mayonnaise … maybe some salt, too. Is it tasty? Maybe. Inspiring? Not really. Visually appealing? No way – it looks like vomit. The Case For Chicken Salad If you like the idea of chicken salad but are looking for something a little more interesting than the chicken-egg-mayo combination, this post is for you! We – meaning I’ve prepared and my family has suffered, er, “tested” – have tried many chicken salad recipes. Curried chicken salad, chicken…
