What Would Betty Do Logo Chicken Tortilla Soup

This recipe scales beautifully, and can be made to feed a family on just one night, or packed to freeze for future nights. Like most of my soup recipes, the proportions change with each preparation; I chop until I’m tired of chopping. Ingredients Olive oil Onion, chopped Celery, chopped Carrots, chopped Freshly ground pepper Chicken, […] Read More

What Would Betty Do Logo Pineapple Curry

Back in April, I was in DC for a conference and got the chance to go out for an excellent Thai dinner with the ever-cool Dr. KC and the cutest little baby in the entire DC metro area. I scanned the menu and quickly spotted something that sounded uniquely wonderful: pineapple curry. Yum! As it turned […] Read More

What Would Betty Do Logo Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

I got this recipe from a fellow In a Pinch mom who delivers meals to moms’ club families in need. If you have disposable foil pans, you can prep this meal for potlucks, delivery or once-a-month cooking. It’s easy to make and easy to scale to as many servings as you need. The recipe below […] Read More

What Would Betty Do Logo Tandoori Chicken

I had always assumed that tandoori chicken was something that you could only get from an Indian restaurant. I mean, who had an actual tandoor oven at home? Turns out that Cook’s Illustrated showed me that this is something that can actually be made at home. The trick, as they point out, is a multi-step process: […] Read More

What Would Betty Do Logo Easy “Cuban” Chicken

Bistec de Pollo I am a huge fan of Cuban cuisine. I’ve been making recipes from Three Guys From Miami since their cookbook was nothing more than a random collection of recipes online; I highly recommend investing in both Three Guys From Miami Cook Cuban and Three Guys From Miami Celebrate Cuban. For those who haven’t eaten Cuban […] Read More

What Would Betty Do Logo Lime-Cumin Chicken

I haven’t been cooking as much while I’ve been injured. In fact, we spent the first four weeks largely subsisting on meals that were delivered by friends and moms’ club strangers, and I thank them all for helping us out. After all, the intra-kitchen hobble wasn’t exactly a practical method of getting things done. As […] Read More

What Would Betty Do Logo Brazilian Beer Chicken

This recipe from grilling guru Steven Raichlen not only works well for an overnight marinade, but freezes well in the marinade for later use, perfect for once a month cooking (OAMC) enthusiasts. If you’re planning to freeze some, I suggest that you double or even triple the recipe; it’s not much more work, and you’ll […] Read More

What Would Betty Do Logo Fried Chicken

I may be ambivalent about meat in general, but that rule doesn’t seem to apply to good fried chicken. I don’t make it often, but there’s something to be said for that delicious crunchy crust. When I make a batch, I make enough to have leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day. I’ve been […] Read More

What Would Betty Do Logo Peruvian Chicken

This recipe came from the Whole Foods app on my iPhone, a handy little tool that allows you to search for meals as you wander through the supermarket wondering what to make for dinner. I don’t always make the drive to Whole Foods, but I’ll bet that I use the app twice a week. The […] Read More

What Would Betty Do Logo Chicken and Stone Fruit Salad

This is a variation on a salad that was served on the specials board at the Nordstrom Cafe last month. It might not be an exact replica — I’ve seen several different “authentic” Nordstrom recipes online, all slightly different — but it’s colorful, flavorful and one of the best main dish salads that I’ve ever […] Read More
