Ever since I first made this recipe a little over a month ago, it’s appeared on our weekly menu pretty much every week. There is so much to love about this dish, that I think you’ll understand why. First, there are the roasted vegetables. I know I’ve said it before, but roasting vegetables really does [...]

If I have leftover chicken that I’m not planning to use for another dinner, I get really excited. Why? Because then I can make these chicken salad sandwiches. With Greek yogurt instead of mayo, whole grain bread, chicken, nuts, grapes, and celery, this is a healthy sandwich with no guilt. The grapes provide a little [...]

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos This recipe has appeared on a number of my favorite food blogs, and for a while now I’ve been meaning to try it myself. For one reason or another, though, it never made it onto my weekly meal plan- until now. If I had known how much we would enjoy these [...]

Third, this meal is surprisingly [...]

Pepper Jack, Chicken, and Peach Quesadillas I originally made this recipe over a year ago, and intended to put it on the blog right away. Well, I lost the recipe for a while, then found it, got busy, and here we are a year later. Once I actually found the recipe again I went back [...]

I’ve tried a number of delicious enchilada recipes over the years, but was surprised to realize that I haven’t ever made chicken enchiladas with red sauce. Sometimes it takes a few tries to [...]
