    Mustard Grilled Chicken

    This recipe for mustard grilled chicken is a regular at our house. We’ve been making it all summer and are not even close to getting tired of it.

  • Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Slow Cooker Whole Chicken

    Lemon, Garlic and Thyme Slow Cooker Whole Chicken

    For several years, I’ve used my slow cooker regularly to cook an entire chicken. I had been using the 100 Days of Real Food cookbook’s version, which uses a combination of spices.

    While Keegan was away for work a few weeks ago, I decided to make a Mediterranean inspired dinner for Ellie and I. I liked the idea of something casual where we could build our own plates. This sort of set-up is typically a hit with toddlers, because they can opt out of things they don’t…

  • Spiced Roast Chicken

    Spiced Roast Chicken

    When the weather gets cooler, I love to roast a whole chicken on the weekends. I know, I’m very wild. Although it takes awhile to cook, most of that time is inactive, which means I can pop in and out of the kitchen pretty easily. Also, the leftovers are delicious. Over the years, I’ve mostly made…

  • Roast Chicken with Sausage & Potatoes

    Roast Chicken with Sausage & Potatoes

    At our house, Sunday dinner is usually something special. If we’ve been in town, I try to spend a little more time in the kitchen and actually set the table. Candles are lit, cloth napkins are added and sometimes, I open a bottle of wine. A few Sundays ago, I remade a dish by Nigella…

    Does anyone else feel like their hot dog/brownie/ice cream intake is off the charts lately? No, just me? Hmm. Well, if like our family, you’re in need of a recharge, I’d like to suggest a market fresh salad full of sweet nectarines, creamy fresh mozzarella and peppery arugula.
