Busy workdays call for simple meal-prep recipes and this Teriyaki Chicken Bowl is one of my go-tos! Perfect for getting in your daily protein and balanced with rice and broccoli for a whole meal. I chose broccoli as it’s one of my favorite veggies, but you could use kale or any other vegetable of your …
This kale, sausage, and potato skillet meal is the PERFECT healthy meal prep recipe for the busy holiday season! I’m always looking for easy, healthy meals that I can eat for a quick lunch or dinner, and this recipe has all the starch, fiber, and protein you need. You only need one pan to cook it …
This copycat version of the Din Tai Fung Shanghai Rice Cakes is one of my go-to staples! I’m a huge fan of getting these rice cakes (with chicken, of course) in addition to DTF’s incredible xiao long bao, but now that I’m slated to move away from California, having this recipe is going to be …
Kung pao chicken is one of those iconic Chinese takeout dishes and turns out, it’s pretty easy to make yourself at home! It’s the perfect amount of spicy and sweet and this recipe reminds me of the version I get from my local Chinese place. I wasn’t able to find peanuts at my grocery store …

As part of my Navy travels a few years back, I was able to go to Scotland multiple times – and it’s there that I learned that chicken tikka masala is a national dish of the UK! While I’m certain my recipe is barely authentic (I did grow up in Vermont, after all), I truly …

Some chicken soup for the soul We are fully into soup and stew season, which means it’s time for me to make the best of my crockpots and Dutch ovens! I love buying a whole chicken at the grocery store, using the meat for chicken noodle soup and other dishes, while the bones make some …
