Drumroll please! Grilling weather has returned to Michigan and we are soaking it all in. After developing this recipe last summer and making it almost weekly for a while, it was only natural for these Chicken Shawarma Skewers to be the first thing we grilled on THE DAY. You know the one. That first truly...

Jamaican Jerk Chicken Thighs with Mango Salsa
I’ve wanted to try to make Jamaican Jerk Chicken at home ever since we visited Jamaica in 2015 when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. If you’ve ever been pregnant, you probably recall how every once in a while a certain food will just perfectly hit the spot in the midst of a season...

Aji de Gallina (Peruvian Yellow Pepper Chicken)
This recipe is a homestyle chicken dish that is very common in Peru. As with all the best traditional recipes, Aji de Gallina varies a bit from family to family. I’ve done my best to stay true to the majority of the traditional ingredients and techniques, while also adapting it a bit to suit my...

Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas with White Sauce
Given my love for cooking, it is not all that often that we go out to eat. When we do, it's usually for Mexican food. I almost always order the same thing. Some form of enchilada or chimichanga, always with chicken and a sour cream sauce. I know, not very creative. I can't help it. I...
Honey Curry Chicken (Instant Pot & Slow-Cooker Methods)
It’s mid-January and that means we are eating lots of comfort food. Basically, it is dinner-in-a-bowl season at our house. We love a good saucy protein atop a steaming bowl of rice to get us through an evening of playing and dancing with our little lady, and maybe watching Frozen once or twice or a...
Bourbon Chicken
Happy December! I've got good news for you. You don’t need to go to the mall food court to enjoy Bourbon Chicken anymore, which is especially helpful for me because I do all my shopping on Amazon anyway. This is a homemade version of what is offered at the Cajun/Chinese restaurant at many shopping malls. Bourbon...
Grilled Spatchcock Chicken

That was our goal for this past weekend. We spent a lot of time together enjoying the nice weather and unwinding from the crazy...
