Chicken in Milk
To quote Jamie Oliver, Chicken in Milk is “a slightly odd, but really fantastic combination that must be tried.” A couple years ago we began what’s now a weekly ritual of cooking a whole chicken. Not only do we enjoy a mouth-watering chicken dinner each week, but we then turn bones into broth, and broth into amazing soups and stews. It was B who first discovered Chicken in Milk by Jamie Oliver. In an attempt to change it up each week (Ooo I like that…the “Chicken Change Up”) he began to read endless websites searching for new and interesting whole chicken recipes. There are a ton of them to try….but…

Brown Sugar Chicken & Sweet Potato Casserole {Comfort Food}
A match made in heaven. That’s what Jennifer & Jason are. The love that surrounded them on their big day was so real you could touch it. It came from their families, separated by an isle but clearly united by love. We their friends were overflowing with joy for them as they said their I Do’s. And as they turned to face us for the first time as husband and wife their beautiful smiling faces and interlocked hands lifted us all.

Fresh Herb Grilled Chicken {with Basil Herb Butter}
Back before there was a negative stigma associated with a recipe that called for a stick of butter (y’all), we could put away some butter. Growing up as a child I seriously thought butter was a side dish….since we all had our own dish of butter when we sat down to dinner. It’s no wonder we ate every vegetable put in front of us (except Brussels Sprouts…love them now). Over the years we have worked pretty hard to replace some (not all) of that butter with healthier options….olive oil, herbs, lemon juice. Having said that, this Fresh Herb Grilled Chicken with Basil Herb Butter recipe, adapted from the queen of butter Paula Deen, has earned the…

Southwest Eggrolls with Avocado Dipping Sauce {Chili’s Style}
Every time I make these Southwest Eggrolls they are a hit. And this copycat recipe gets you pretty darn close to the Chili’s restaurant version.

Grilled Chicken Tequila Burgers {with Cilantro-Lime Mayo}
Grilled Chicken Tequila Burgers {with Cilantro-Lime Mayo}. Recipe Inspiration. I’ve mentioned before that recipe ideas come to me in many ways. Today for example, I spent my lunch break at the hair salon, a place I love for these three reasons: first I adore my stylist and love hearing about her recent travels and life experiences; second because I always leave feeling refreshed and happy; and third because they have the best assortment of magazines!! Today I left with 16 snapshots of recipes and ideas that I MUST try. My head is spinning with fresh new visions.

Sage-Pecan Pesto Encrusted Turkey Tenderloin
When I first made Sage-Pecan Pesto Encrusted Turkey Tenderloin and posted a picture in my What’s for Dinner album, I got immediate requests for the recipe. I love pesto. It’s so versatile and easy going. Never complains when you substitute sage for basil, pecans for pine nuts, aged cheddar for Parmesan. And turkey tenderloin is the perfect delivery vehicle (pork tenderloin would be delish too). So good and so moist!

Chicken Salad with Avocado & Cilantro {in a Taco Salad Shell}
Half of our motivation to roast a whole chicken each week is for the leftover cooked chicken and the makings of homemade chicken broth. The other half this week was to find an excuse to make Tortilla Crispy Taco Salad Shells….again. And so the Chicken Salad with Avocado & Cilantro Taco Salad was born.

Bodacious Roast Chicken {Mexican Style}
We, like most families, go through “What’s for Dinner” ruts from time to time. Last week frankly was a bit of a challenge. Thank goodness our Ahi Tuna Salad with the amazing Creamy Avocado Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette came through at the end. And it’s funny because that salad never really knew where it was headed until the very last minute. Besides the dressing, the other ingredient that stood out was the baked tortilla shell. And so we decided that Taco Salads were in our near future. To be exact, we agreed Roast Chicken {Mexican Style} on Tuesday and Chicken Taco Salads on Wednesday. Looks like it’s going to be a good week!!

Roast Chicken in a Clay Baker
Roast Chicken in a Clay Baker. That was my mission. A couple of weeks ago, while perusing the isles of my local thrift store, I scored this amazing Romertopf Clay Baker. I knew at that moment my first dish baked in this vessel would be Roast Chicken. As I’ve commented on in the past we cook a whole chicken almost every week. We change up our recipes and cooking methods and it’s always delicious.
