Cracker-Crusted Chicken Cutlets

We all have those dishes we revert back to time and time again. For me, it’s cracker-crusted chicken. Although not as simple as grilling or baking chicken, there is something so satisfying about the crunchy, salty coat that it makes the extra 10 minutes of preparation worth it. I could probably chalk this obsession up…

Crustless Chicken Pot Pie Skillet

I thought long and hard about what to call this one… and am still not convinced it’s the right name! On theme with the last two weeks, when I was on maternity leave I spent the time to try some of the harder recipes I have been wanting to make from the cookbooks collecting dust…

Crispy Baked Bison Tacos

Now the last two weeks I’ve shared some recipes that are a bit more involved. But as I see the end of my maternity leave tunnel later this month, I am switching gears to super simple meals that I can whip out once I am juggling work and childcare at the same time. I have…

Kimchi Fried Rice

Well helloooo everyone from my little slice of paradise here on Maui. Yes we are back again! Thank you grandpa for buying a place decades ago and thank you Kelly family for never letting him sell it. Maui has become our home away from home over the past few years. We got married on the…

Sheet Pan White Chicken Casserole

Okay so remember when I said I was going to only share salads this February? Then proceeded to share a pasta dish. Well here is another pasta dish! Sorry not sorry. But this breastfeeding mama is also a hungry hippo who is craving comfort foods. All. the. Time. And I love cheesy chicken and broccoli…

Green-y Protein Pasta

Okay so I know I said I was going to dedicate this month to a salad series but I am interrupting the regular programming for a salad inspired pasta! Yes you heard that right. This pasta dish does not taste like a salad in the slightest but it does kind of look like one. It’s…

Spicy Tuscan Kale Spaghetti Squash

As we swing back into post holiday routines this month, I am finally finding my footing back in the kitchen post partum. Shout out to my mom who feed us for days once we got back home and were completely gobsmacked by trying to keep a tiny human alive and well-fed. Then shout out to…

Orange Chicken & Broccoli

I’ve mentioned this in a previous post but I try to incorporate one asian-style dish to our menu each week. It’s Nick’s favorite cuisine and it’s one I find gets easier the more reps you put in. Not that asian dishes are hard to make. They are actually quite simple when it gets down to…

Bahn Mi Smash Tacos

A few months ago I saw a similar recipe to this on Instagram and immediately saved it. Time is warping but I recall smashed In’N’Out style burger tacos going viral at some point… which I tried of course. But these – these are superior. The regular burger flavors + a tortilla felt off to me.…

Crockpot Chicken Salsa Verde Tostadas

This isn’t the first time I have raved about crockpot dinners and it definitely won’t be the last. Who doesn’t love a set it and forget meal that cooks while you are at work, running errands,keeping children alive and entertained, etc. I have a weak spot for crockpot bowls. If you haven’t tried my Thai-ish…
