TBH - I wasn't sure about this one...specifically, the boys liking this one. They tend to enjoy curries and other "exotic" flavors, so it wasn't the flavors and taste that had me. It was the rice noodles. I wasn't sure how the rice noodles are going to go over. I kept telling myself...they're pretty close to spaghetti, so...should be fine. But, what if... What if … [Read more...]

Enjoy! Slow Cooker Bacon-Maple … [Read more...]
Garlic & Herb Cod
This is a lovely (and simple) garlic and herb butter that's coated right onto the fish fillet! You could use this same butter sauce for any type of non-breaded fish fillet and it would be lovely - salmon, tilapia, mahi mahi, or whatever your fave is! We are particularly fond of salmon and cod at my house - because they are the most affordable options, as they are easy to … [Read more...]
Roasted Dijon Chicken and Veggies
It's a sheet pan supper! I'm making more and more of these in my kitchen, because they are so easy! And because I can sneak into the kitchen and get it going, then go help one (or all) of the boys with homework, or find a lost soccer cleat, or whatever...and then come back and dinner's about ready! Please note with this one, you do have to come back and add the green … [Read more...]
Cheesy Beef Enchiladas
I love love love going out for TexMex food...but I love love love cooking it at home because...it's so much cheaper! These cheesy beef enchiladas are made with ground beef, salsa and red enchilada sauce. I used the dark red corn tortillas for an "authentic" flavor and look...but regular yellow tortillas work just fune too. And I served it with simple steamed white rice and … [Read more...]
Pesto Stuffed Chicken
ADORE this chicken. It's just the right pop of flavor and cheesiness! There are 2 ways to make this chicken... The first is to make a wide slit into a thicker boneless, skinless chicken breast piece, then add the pesto and cheese. The second is to split the chicken breast piece in half, lightly pound it flat and then wrap the chicken around the pesto and cheese. You … [Read more...]
Skillet Rigatoni and Sausage Recipe
We love skillet meals around the Chase household. They're hearty, filling, and super quick (and mindless!) to prepare on busy weeknights. While many of my favorite skillet meals are made all in the same skillet, this one the pasta is cooked separately and tossed in after the meat-tomato-cream sauce is prepared. This recipe is easy to adapt - you could sub jarred marinara for … [Read more...]

It's made with chicken and a homemade combo of Ranch seasoning mix...plus cream cheese and cheese and bacon. A low-carb or ketogenic … [Read more...]
Eggplant Pasta Skillet
I adore a good pasta skillet meal. They are quick and easy to prepare on a busy weeknight, and tend to end in "polished" plates at our dinner table. Plus, they are filling - which is just what I need for keeping up with the hungry, bottomless pit stomach boys of mine. (If we haven't met yet, I have 4 boys!) If you've not cooked with eggplant before, please pay close … [Read more...]
Creole Shrimp & Grits
Excuse me, that was so rude of me. I just couldn't help it. That's what I'd be saying to you, had we been at the same table enjoying this Creole Shrimp. Because I would have been licking my bowl. Seriously, I did. This meal is magical. I liked my plate...in front of the boys...and we all had a good laugh about it. Despite my horrible manners. But seriously, just … [Read more...]
