Chicken Calabacitas Zucchini Boats
Over Labor Day I went to Santa Fe to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday. For those of you who keep up each week, you probably remember my reflections on leaving my son and husband for the first time since giving birth. The short trip was wonderful, and I was once again reminded how much I…

Baked Hasselbeck Chicken & Poblano Skillet
As I sit here at the airport waiting on my first flight ALONE since having a baby, I am feeling quite emotional and reflective on the past 8ish months. I cannot believe time has flown by so quickly. And yet, it feels like years since I have sat at the bar of an airport without…

Salsa Verde Shredded Chicken Enchilada Bake
Well, last week I started work and this week we have a bout of chicken pox in our household! So needless to say, it’s been a wild few days. And unfortunately, we are still in the thick of it. Nothing like a few sleepless nights and conference call-packed mornings to really shock the system back…

Crockpot Chicken Salsa Verde Tostadas

Chicken Stuffed Poblano Peppers
If you know me at all, you know I love poblano peppers. I chalk it up to the years and years we spent visiting my grandparents in Santa Fe. Spicy but not too spicy, full of flavor, and easily added to any Tex Mex style dish, the ingredient is a must have in my household…

Cilantro Lime Chicken
Is it just me or does chicken taste better in strips? I think it’s just me but honestly, I could eat these like jerky. They are perfect for tacos, salads, harvest bowls, or simply by themselves. Super easy and packed with citrus flavors, this one is a no-brainer. Here, you’ll see I used the Cilantro…

Baked Crispy Ground Chicken Tacos
*REPOST FROM OLD BLOG Maybe it’s the California girl in me but I LOVE a good taco. Tacos are a gluten free person’s heaven. Yes, you have to forgo flour tortillas but with corn, you really aren’t missing out! And if you ask me to choose between soft or crispy, I really cannot pick a…
