Let me just start off by saying that I really loved this white wine braised chicken and potatoes. After about 5 good bites, sampling everything and rubbing my crusty bread around in the little bit of sauce that drained to the bottom, I looked Bo in the eyes and said without an ounce of doubt…

Chicken Dinner in a Pot
This is a great recipe to keep in your arsenal because it’s fairly hands off, and the entire meal cooks in one pot together. I love those kinds of meals! The rundown is a whole chicken that simmers / steams over top of chicken stock and white wine, along with carrots, potatoes, and some flavor boosters….
Sweet and Sticky Chicken with a Kick
Here’s another nice and easy recipe to make. It’s a lot like a teriyaki chicken, but I don’t think that the soy sauce flavour is quite as strong in this one. Also, don’t be turned off by the kick, it’s really completely up to you. It comes from a little bit of hot sauce, and…
Chicken Vesuvio
Here’s another quick, easy, one pot meal. Those really are the best, aren’t they And here’s a warning: if you’ve cooked pretty much anything else that I’ve made on this site, you’ve probably noticed that it’s full of flavor. I love flavor. I love sweet, I love spicy, I love tangy and tart. I love…
Pub Style Buffalo Chicken Bites
So, hockey season has started and in this house, we bleed blue and white. It’s a birth right, or requirement, to be a Toronto Maple Leaf’s fan, and Bo and I had our own little hockey tradition going. Until the kids that is. Every hockey game we used to go out to a local wing…
Mexican Style Skillet Chicken and Rice
Sorry, I’m not feeling very creative right now. I can’t seem to come up with a shorter more creative name. Something like Sombrero bake…that’s horrible. Let’s just leave well enough alone. Want to know what else I’m sorry for? I forgot to take pictures of this one as I cooked it. And it’s not so much that I…
Easy Garlic Parmesian Chicken Bake
Tonight was one of those horrible nights. I’m going to go ahead and assume that everyone has them, so please, don’t feel the need to correct me. Anna and Oliver both got shots today, Anna’s first set, and she was not happy about it. At all. The tylenol didn’t help her at all and while…
Chicken with 40 Cloves
This is one of Bo and my favorite “nice” dinners. By “nice” I mean better then meatloaf and not cooked often enough. Really though, it’s so easy to make, and now that I’ve figured out a version with chicken pieces as an alternative to a whole chicken when you’re in a bit more of a rush? Well,…
Show Stopper Roast Chicken
I call this my show stopper because is tastes like I put hours of planning and effort into figuring out the perfect combination of accouterments to highlight the bird, when really, I got lucky about 5 years ago on my first shot and haven’t looked back. Sure, I’ve tried variations, but I always come back…
Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Pot Pie I’ve spent a couple of weeks on this now, and finally have it to the point where I think it’s perfect, there’s nothing else to add or do to it (such a relief). I’ll probably try to figure out how to freeze it at some point, but for now I can’t stand…

Teriyaki Chicken, Roasted New Potatoes and Broccoli
This was a nice and easy meal to make, though it did require a little bit of prep work on the teriyaki sauce. Teriyaki Chicken Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes Serves: 6 Ingredients: 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (you can use any type of chicken though, just adjust your cooking times) 1…
Turkey Parmigina and Mini Banana Muffins
Turkey Parmigiana This recipe is one that I’ve tucked into my “perfected” file. I basically cook a recipe over and over again, trying to simplify everything I can while making absolutely fantastic tasting food (taste always comes first though, I just save the time consuming dishes for weekends). Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20…
