This past weekend, I was in Portland and dined out at an Indian restaurant. I might have drooled while I ate my Tandoori. But mostly because it has thinly julienned pieces of ginger. I really could have just eaten a bowl of julienned ginger and the mango chutney and been happy. But the Tandoori was amazing too. While I'm not a trained Indian food chef, I can tell you that … [Read more...]

Not only is this a super mom-friendly recipe (given that all the ingredients cook together in one dish!), it's also a super kid friendly dish. The maple gives off just enough sweetness to the chicken and the sweet potatoes...heck, even the carrots sweeten up a bit. Give this one a try and … [Read more...]

Potato bars are such a fun and simple dinner...where everyone gets to make their own dinner and you don't have to short order cook! Well, it's FAR TOO HOT outside to be baking potatoes in the oven. Just the thought of 400 degree oven running for an hour right now makes me sweat. BUT...you can cook the potatoes in the slow cooker without heating up your kitchen! I also love … [Read more...]

So I mentioned yesterday the Ranchero Chicken, which can be used as the base for this recipe. Of course, you could also just toss all the ingredients (minus the tortillas and cheese!) into the slow cooker and let it works it's magic. Oh, and your house will smell like a Tex-Mex restaurant and random neighbors might show up at your front door drooling. (hehe) Get the full … [Read more...]

Because I'm a food blogger and I'm always getting crazy in the kitchen...I don't find myself coming back to recipes over and over...and over and over. But this chicken recipe has become my favorite 'base' for many meals, including the Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup and the Chicken Enchilada Casserole. (Both of these recipes are part of the Gluten Free Costco Plan BTW!) I … [Read more...]
