There’s something about the combo of flavors in these taquitos, chicken smothered in sweet honey combined with cool and tangy lime and Mexican inspired spices, that is unique and unexpected. I find myself adding these taquitos to the menu when time is tight, which lately seems to be almost every night! The first time I made these we were surprised at how flavorful they are and they quickly became a go-to recipe. The spices in these taquitos are pretty mild so if you like things spicier feel free to up the chili powder or add cayenne pepper or even some jalapenos. Or if you want to get wild and crazy switch…

Asian Chicken Rice Bowls
Now if you missed my recipe earlier this week for Sticky Rice you’ll want to go back and check it out because it’s the basis for today’s recipe. Rice bowls are a favorite at our house and a version of them is on our menu at least a couple times a month! It’s tasty and comes together quickly and maybe our favorite part makes delicious leftovers that are perfect for lunch the next day! The marinade for this chicken is adapted from one my mom always made while I was growing up. It’s simple, but so tasty and has a great blend of sweet and salty flavors. It’s also delicious on steak, which…

Loaded Broccoli, Potato and Cheese Soup
Now I know that soup season is almost over, but I needed to sneak this one in before spring officially or unofficially comes. You can thank me later. This soup is full of vegetables and unlike a lot of broccoli and cheese soups that are smooth, there are actually chunks of vegetables in there. But what puts this soup over the edge is a delicious cheese sauce that is made with real cheddar cheese…no processed cheese in this soup! This soup cooks quickly and you can do most of the prep ahead of time, making it perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. I like to chop the vegetables (except for the potatoes), shred the cheese and…

Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
For a couple years now, Friday night has been homemade pizza night at our house. After trying lots of recipes, some not so tasty, I finally found this one and we have been enjoying it for over a year now! This crust is chewy and light and has a great flavor. I wanted a whole wheat crust that didn’t taste healthy. You know what I’m talking about, right? I wanted a nice chewy crust that didn’t suck all of the water out of your mouth or taste like sand! Combining whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour definitely helps to make the taste and texture of the crust not too “healthy”. In the directions it’s…

Classic Chili with Beans
A couple weeks ago when we were snowed in during snowstorm Jonas I decided that we needed chili. Now the hubby doesn’t love beans, so I was the only one who actually enjoyed the chili, but it was delicious. There’s something about the freezing cold weather that makes me crave warm and comforting soups and chili. For most of you, there is still time to enjoy this recipe before spring comes! This chili is great topped with shredded cheese or served over macaroni and cheese like my grandma did. My grandma didn’t enjoy cooking, but one of the meals she would make when we came to visit was chili over macaroni…
