How to Brine a Turkey (for the Best Thanksgiving Meal Ever)
I love Thanksgiving and how it gives us a day together as a family to pause and reflect on all the things we’re thankful for each year. In fact, it’s not long into the Fall before I start thinking about Thanksgiving and start working on my meal plan for the big day. I don’t start …
Caribbean Jerk Chicken Recipe
I’d been craving (leptin problem maybe?) some jerk chicken lately, probably because the flavors remind me of the beach, which is what I am really craving… Anyway, since there are no places around here that can make good jerk chicken, I played around with recipes until I found this Caribbean jerk chicken recipe, which is …
Perfect Pâté Recipe
This pâté recipe is one of my favorites. I must admit that learning how to prepare and consume organ meats has been a journey for me! It took me a while to learn to like most organ meats, but this pâté recipe has a mild and savory flavor and I liked it right away. Organ meats are an excellent …
Bacon Apple Chicken
I’d never cooked much before finishing college and getting married. I got a Crock-Pot as a wedding gift and was told that slow cookers were the easiest (and mostly foolproof) way to make a great meal, so I started experimenting. I joke that this was one of my real food recipes before I went real …
Greek Meatloaf Recipe
This Greek inspired meatloaf reminds me of the Gyro meat I often ate during my time in Europe. It uses flavors such as lemon, fennel, and mint to make a fragrant and delicious meatloaf. You can also make a meatball version that cooks more quickly and makes a wonderful appetizer. I pair this meatloaf with …
How to Make Bone Broth (Recipe, with Instant Pot Option)
If you aren’t already making bone broth regularly, I’d encourage you to start today! It is an incredibly healthy and very inexpensive addition to any diet, and the homemade versions beat store-bought broth in both taste and nutrition (although there is some amazing homemade organic broth you can buy pre-made now). This is the one nutrient …
Chicken Marsala Recipe
We don’t eat chicken very often because my husband prefers red meat, but I’m always looking for new ways to cook chicken besides our usual slow-cook a whole chicken and make broth with the bones routine. I had chicken Marsala at a restaurant in college and loved it. I decided to create an easy at-home …
Grilled Chicken Pineapple Kebab Recipe
Chicken pineapple kebabs are a popular dinner with my kids because of the sweet pineapple and the color of the pepper. It is easy to make, and if you don’t have a grill, it is easy to adapt to cook in the oven. These are actually really good cold since the flavors of the pineapple …
Chicken Squash Stir-Fry
My criteria for a recipe that goes into our meal rotation is that it must have a good source of protein, contain more than one vegetable, be easy to make in under 30 minutes, and preferably only need one pan to prepare from start to finish. It must also be a favorite meal for at least …
Easy Fajita Chicken
This is a really easy slow cooker fajita chicken recipe that makes a versatile meal. It tastes very similar to the chicken used in Mexican restaurants in their chicken taco salads. My kids will eat it plain, but I like it on a large salad with avocado and sour cream! This recipe also freezes and …
Moroccan Chicken Stir-Fry
This is an easy and fast Moroccan chicken stir-fry that I often make on busy nights. It has a lot of contrasting flavors and colors and we’re especially enjoying it now that our broccoli is in season in the garden. If your family isn’t used to these types of spices, start with half and work …
Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe (Gluten Free)
This is one of those super-easy, but really impressive chicken recipes that even kids seem to enjoy because of the hidden ingredients inside. It’s also an easy chicken recipe to adapt and make grain free. My kids ask for “Blue Chicken” often, and I hope you’ll enjoy it too! It takes a while to cook, …
Chicken Pot Pie Recipe (Gluten Free!)
Chicken pot pie was one of those dishes I didn’t love as a kid (store-bought version) and then loved as an adult (homemade version) and had to say goodbye to when we switched to a grain-free, real food diet. Flour and vegetable shortening crust…not so much! I just recently attempted a healthy version of chicken …
Chicken Carbonara Recipe (Over Spaghetti Squash)
I’ve been on an Italian chicken variation kick lately. I absolutely love chicken piccata and finally figured out a great recipe for it which inspired a lot of chicken cooking around here lately. I’ve made healthy variations of chicken cacciatore, chicken Florentine, chicken Marsala, and chicken carbonara. In restaurants, this is often made with an extremely …
Chicken Piccata Recipe (Gluten Free & Flavor Packed)
In the early days of my marriage, when I was pregnant with our first child, I had a daily ritual of cleaning the entire house each day from baseboards to ceiling (nesting, anyone?) and then watching the food channels for dinner inspiration. My husband is Italian, so I learned how to cook from Giada, Emeril, …
Slow Cooker Chicken
One of my favorite ways to prepare chicken is to to slow cook a chicken in the Crock-Pot. If you haven’t roasted a chicken in your Crock-Pot yet… try it! Not only is slow cooker chicken the easiest and least expensive way I’ve found to prepare it, but you get a couple quarts of chicken broth from …
Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Chicken Recipe
Ever had spinach artichoke dip in a restaurant? This recipe is similar to that but with more protein and no chips. I had a craving for spinach artichoke dip one night and decided to turn it into a whole dinner: spinach artichoke chicken in a slow cooker. Spinach Artichoke Chicken The chicken is topped with spinach, …
Grain-Free Chicken Parmesan
This is my latest healthy Italian dish variation. I never really liked chicken Parmesan until I had it at a friend’s bridesmaids luncheon. It was the most grain free item on the menu, and it was wonderful (I later found out it was breaded in some type of potato starch and not flour!). When I …
Roasted Chicken Recipe (Simple and Delicious)
If you are as busy as I am, a meal that requires little attention and only needs one pan to cook makes life a little simpler. This recipe is also a delicious way to introduce Brussels sprouts (aka baby cabbages in our house) to your family if they haven’t had them before. Oh, yeah, and …
Grilled Citrus Chicken Salad
A light and fruity chicken salad that can be made on the go, this salad is a reminder of summer, even when there is snow on the ground. I often make a salad like this for lunch at least a few times a week. A bed of leafy greens topped with citrus chicken, cucumber, apple, …
Pesto Chicken with Spaghetti Squash
So…. I married an Italian who loves pasta and then researched my way into being mostly grain-free. Needless to say, he wasn’t thrilled when I stopped making pasta and I wanted to find alternatives. While there are gluten-free pastas now, like rice and quinoa pasta, I wanted to find a truly real-food version and turned …
Healthy Chicken Salad Recipe
After much trial and error, I present to you my perfect chicken salad recipe. Why is it perfect, you ask? Besides tasting great, it is gluten free, mayo free, low carb, and packed with nutrients. It uses probiotic rich yogurt in place of mayo for a unique twist. Healthy Chicken Salad Recipe… The only chicken salad …
Chicken Vegetable Stir-Fry
Confession… I am a lazy cook! That is why most of the recipes in my cookbook take 15-30 minutes and one pan to make. It is why I absolutely love stir-frys and let my children learn early how to help prepare and cook them. My chicken vegetable stir-fry includes chicken, onions, summer squash, and broccoli, …
