Greek Chicken Salad Livin’

I ate those pita chips up there for dinner. Then a few more forkfuls of this chicken salad right out of the jar! It’s really good. The kind you’re so excited to eat that you end up standing up in the kitchen dunking crackers in it. The kind you pack for lunch to share with your boyf. The kind you recommend over that weird deli biz every time. There’s no mayo up in here. The…

Savory Parfaits with Cheddar Bunnies

If I bring my lunch to work, I like it in a jar. Preferably layered real cute-like. Good-lookin stacked salads make for a fun desk lunch. Way more fun than handfuls of granola and granola bars and weird snacks from the basement store that also sells enchiladas with fries on the side. (I ain’t mad at that.) My favorite chicken salad is creamy with Greek yogurt and whipped goat cheese. No mayo in sight. That…

The 6th Annual Valentine’s Brunch Party

Sunday was the 6th Annual Valentine’s Brunch Party and Monday was Washington’s Birthday. So I had the day after the party off! It was a Valentine’s miracle! I decorated by repurposing last year’s big fringe garland giving it the horizontal remix. I also decided to cut a big heart (super-jagged-like) out of two pieces of foam core and top it with fringe! For the savory goodness, this year, I made: Cobb Salad Deviled Eggs, breakfast sausage…

Chipotle Chicken Chili

Oh, I’ve made this chili before. I loved it then and I love it now! You see, it doesn’t take long to throw together, the ingredient list isn’t too crazy, and well it’s thickened with a beer + masa harina mixture that is just magical! I love how it’s kinda the lovechild of a chili and a stew and I like how pretty it is accessorized garnish-style. I’d serve this to my favorites! I’d serve…

Homemade Hani O’clock

I love Hanis. I just really do! Go get one from National Coney Island with a coney dog for dessert! Oh! And fries. Definitely, fries. Better yet, make one at home! And the lettuce and tomato makes this sandwich kinda Christmas-y, wouldn’t you say? Anyhow, these are made on fluffy pita bread (like naan!) and are made with swiss and American cheese. I went the swiss and brie route though and it totally tastes similar! Brie melts similarly…

Pesto Chicken Wrap

This guy would win in a sandwich battle wrap, that’s for sure. Imagine this rainbow dinner on stage rhyming with Eminem or whoever, ya know? It’d be like, “Yo, I know I’m a sandwich, but don’t disrespect. I’m a dinner worth eating so let’s be direct. I’ve got mad flava’ so get ready to sava’*. I’m no average meal, don’t save me for lata.” And then the other fella or lady would probably just go…

Funfetti Salad

For the longest time I ate snooze-fest salads. I’d feel disappointed if I had to muster one up for lunch. But I was going about it all wrong! You see, the key to an awesome salad is lots of bright colors and sriracha in the vinaigrette. This salad is rainbow, and puts the fun in funfetti, ya know? And this can be switched up however you fancy. It’s tasty with spinach, kale, romaine, or arugula.…

Crispy Chickpea Cobb Salad

Polka dot pants are the new denim. Cowboy boots are the new cold weather necessity. Pink is the new black, and this salad is the new roasted sweet potato and black bean quesadilla. At least in my life. I can’t stop making this! Especially because once you have the ingredients you can salad it up for days. I made this for my parents when they visited. I’ve made this for a friend of mine twice.…

Chicken & Waffles Lady Dinner

Sometimes my lady friends and I cook together. We’ve made fajitas, appetizers-for-dinner goodness, pizza, and then fajitas again. This time we had chicken and waffles on our minds. We chit-chatted, drank vodka sodas with lemon, and ate our tasty dinner. We had honey, maple syrup, and hot sauce for topping. My favorite was maple syrup and cholula. Who knew those two would be so dreamy together? So, the moral of the story is this. You…
