4-Ingredient Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas
Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner...and you know what that means... Tex-Mex food abounds at our house. All.week.long. There are many reasons that we moved our family from Ohio to Texas in 2012. And I'm beginning to think that one of the sub-conscience reasons for moving was to be back in the land of amazing Tex-Mex food. (Please pass the homemade flour … [Read more...]
Chicken Pineapple Stir-fry with Coconut Rice
Sometimes the ingredient stars just align and the meal that I was thinking about, turns out even better than I imagined. I wanted to make something that I knew the boys would love, using a can of coconut milk I've had in the pantry for a few weeks. (I purchased it with this recipe in mind, but just haven't made it yet.) I also picked up a can of pineapple recently with a coupon … [Read more...]
Ham and Cheese Breakfast Egg-Tacos
Having a mixed bag of food allergies and intolerances in our family makes certain dinner ideas and concepts a challenge...but what I love about this one...it easily catered to my egg-free child and my gluten-free child, both of whom happen to be dairy free as well. Ryan enjoyed this ham and egg rollup that you see above...even had a second 'egg tortilla.' Tyler enjoyed a ham … [Read more...]
Basil Balsamic Chicken
This recipe is part of the latest 21 Gluten Free Meals from Costco Plan. Simple y'all. It doesn't get any simpler than this. This is your very basic, but very tasty, chicken and rice meal. I often encourage people to set up 'theme nights' in their meal planning efforts...to take some of the guesswork and edge off of the meal planning process and experience. Besides pizza … [Read more...]
Ranch Chicken & Potatoes Casserole
Chicken + Potatoes + Cheese + Bacon...it's the perfect 'quad-fecta'...because trifecta doesn't work here. Top with some green onions and/or sour cream and you're in potato heaven. Except these are baked potatoes. This is yet another really simple 'load and roast' dish that comes together easily, and makes for a great filling weeknight dinner...as long as you get it … [Read more...]
Chunky Guacamole with Mango & Red Onion
This one surprised me. I'm a huge fan of homemade guacamole, definitely prefer it over store bought. (I usually doctor up the store bought with lime juice, cumin, cilantro and possibly other mixins.) About homemade guacamole...it's really a highly personal thing. It's almost like you shouldn't mess with a good and simple homemade guacamole. But I promise adding sweet mango … [Read more...]
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
This recipe is part of the latest 21 Gluten Free Meals from Costco Plan. I love this enchilada casserole. I love that I can make it all at once and freeze it, or that I can make the chicken and tomatoes in the slow cooker in a larger batch and freeze in meal size portion. Then make this casserole using the frozen chicken and tomatoes. When making 'ranchero chicken,' I … [Read more...]
Slopp-Cheesy Joe Sliders
We are huge sloppy joe fans. Definitely one of those meals that I know all the plates on the table will be polished clean. This meal could easily be slipped into the First Costco Meal Plan, or the Second Costco Meal Plan. It uses ground beef, dinner rolls and frozen veggies...each of which are on the plans. The second plan has a cheese block included as well, so you would … [Read more...]
Citrus-Rosemary Roasted Chicken
I've had this on my "to make list" for a while now...I wanted to get it made while the prices on citrus were still rock bottom and have been waiting for a great sale on whole chickens. The grocery sale stars aligned and I scored a great price on a whole chicken earlier this week, so I grabbed 2 oranges (only ended up using 1 because it was so huge!) and 2 lemons and a small … [Read more...]
