Empanadas

Written on February 7, 2014 by Alisa.

Baked Chicken Empanadas I really like empanadas. I like them so much that last year, while in London, I walked a mile from my conference center to Borough Market in cold and sleet to grab some empanadas for lunch. But I’ve struggled to find an empanada filling that makes me happy. Chicken and cheese: problem […] Read More

Perfect Chicken Cordon Bleu I had been away for the weekend and left The Husband with a supermarket list: Milk Yogurt Something for Monday night’s dinner When I came home on Sunday night, he had prepped chicken cordon bleu for Monday.

Tequila Lime Chicken

Written on June 7, 2013 by Alisa.

Crockpot Roasted Tequila Lime Chicken I’ve done the crockpot roasted chicken before, and while it comes out tender and juicy, it’s not exactly flavorful. Of course, the easy way to fix that is with a marinade. One of the easiest roll-home-from-little-league meals is anything Mexican. I can have black beans defrosted in the fridge, ready […] Read More

Brazilian Chicken Soup

Written on March 8, 2013 by Alisa.

Coconut Chicken Soup My friend Lori sent me the link for the Brazilian shrimp soup from Food & Wine. I’m sure that it’s lovely with shrimp, but as no one in my household really enjoys the crustaceans, I substituted chicken with great results.

Cornbread Pot Pie

Written on April 20, 2012 by Alisa.

I got this idea on a whim on a chilly, rainy Saturday night and thought I’d throw together a quick, easy pot pie with ingredients from my pantry, combining elements from four or five recipes that I found online. Turns out that while it wasn’t complicated, it wasn’t remotely quick — it took more than […] Read More

Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup

Written on April 13, 2012 by Alisa.

This time of year, I could eat soup every day. No, we don’t have the snow that other parts of the country endure, but there’s something about cold, rainy weather that makes me even more inclined to hunker down and nest. This is probably one of the easiest soup recipes ever. You can use the […] Read More

Written on February 23, 2012 by Alisa.

I had planned to make enchiladas for dinner, but as I looked at the day’s calendar, it hit me: we were going to be overbooked for the afternoon, and dinner had to be ready as we rolled in the door. It was going to have to be a Crock Pot kind of night, but what […] Read More

Lazy Chicken Tacos (or Burritos)

Written on January 27, 2012 by Alisa.

You know the day where you wake up in the morning, think you have it all under control, and then suddenly remember that you need to be someplace after work and won’t have time to make dinner? This is the meal for that night. All you need are two ingredients and a slow cooker. If […] Read More

Mexican(ish) Lasagna

Written on January 6, 2012 by Alisa.

I was at a loss for what to do with the leftover rotisserie chicken that I’d bought at Costco. Sure, we could have burritos, but was there any way to do it differently with what I had on hand? Evidently so. The answer was Mexican(ish) lasagna. Ingredients Leftover rotisserie chicken, shredded 1 bottle mild taco […] Read More

“Why Not Make Chicken Soup” Soup

Written on November 25, 2011 by Alisa.

The other night, after finishing with our store-bought rotisserie chicken, my husband decided to take the carcass, toss it in our large stock pot, cover it with water and simmer. I steered clear of this process, what with being kind of squeamish about meat that resembles its original critter, so I didn’t realize that the […] Read More
