Kale, Quinoa and Chicken Salad

People, it's hot.  Like, real hot.  Like, I thought I'd sit outside for a minute with my computer and let my just-showered-hair (after 3, fine 4 days) dry in the summer breeze until I realized my boobs were already sweating HOT.  When it's this hot, I feel the...

Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup

If you're like me, then you frequently buy roasted chickens at the grocery store because you can't handle how good they smell when you walk past them.  If it weren't taboo (or illegal) I would stop what I was doing, open the plastic lid, and eat a drumstick with my bare...

Buffalo Chicken Chili

I've never been a huge football fan, or I guess I should say, I just don't understand the sport.  I've had a countless number of guys (and a girl) try to explain the rules to me and they go in one ear and out the other.  I'm the fairest of fair weather fans, flip flopping...

Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken

Let's take a quick break from holiday sweets (whhhyyyyyyy!?) and talk about your crock pot.  This article went around my Facebook feed the other day, and I'm a sucker for anything with the words "you'll never want to live without" in the title.  It's 52 slow cooker...

TODAY tonight: Jerk Chicken

Carson has never been a huge fan of the sweet and savory combo, unlike me who has been dreaming of a McGriddle sandwich from McDonald's almost every morning of this pregnancy.  But he absolutely loved making this Jerk Chicken recipe on The Today Show last week,...

Roasted Chicken and Avocado Burritos

Over the weekend, Carson grilled a couple of whole chickens on this new smoker he received as a housewarming present.  We made nachos with half of it, but shredded and saved the rest which had me googling "leftover roast chicken" yesterday morning.  When I saw...
