October 18th this year was our five year anniversary of dating, and Erin was arriving home from her trip to Texas. I decided to recreate our first dinner together (sort of). On that now fateful night, I took Erin to a little Mediterranean restaurant near the movie theater called Skewers. Being the frugal date she was, she insisted on ordering...

I'd never heard of buffalo chicken dip until recently, but lately it's been all the rage, including being featured on a recent episode of ABC's Shark Tank. The original recipe comes from Frank's Red Hot, and it really does include all of the important elements of a chicken wing, but we made some modifications based on our flavor preferences....

Chicken salad from Whole Foods is one of our picnic staples when we go hiking or visit a national park. We love all of the different versions, but they aren't cheap for a quick sandwich lunch. That's why I decided to make my own using leftover rotisserie chicken. I combinde about 2 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken with 1/2 cup of light...

Here's another simple dish-transformed-to-burger recipe. This time around, it's buffalo wings! All you need to do is combine lean ground chicken breast with some garlic powder, salt, pepper, crumbled blue cheese, and a touch of hot sauce. Add an egg to the mixture if it is too dry. Form into patties and grill. Place on a bun and liberally top...

I love taking the flavors of one dish— like chicken parmesan— and turning them into a burger. This burger is so simple— take lean ground chicken, add in some spices like oregano, dried basil, garlic with some salt and pepper, some shredded parmesan cheese, olive oil and breadcrumbs (there's no magic ingredient amount— just until everything...

Football season is right around the corner, and we are so excited in this house. We are actually going to be able to watch a few of the Texans games at our house this year (instead of having to go out to a place with NFL Direct Ticket for brunch every Sunday) since they will be featured in some nationally televised games this season (Jets,...

Grilled chicken marinated in a blueberry sauce served upon a bed of coconut rice? Sounds a little crazy? But it totally works despite the chicken being a slightly funky-looking color. The recipe comes from How Sweet It Is, and I think represents the first time that Dustin and I haven't screwed up rice. From now on perhaps all of my rice should...

Grilled pineapples have been on my mind for awhile. I know pineapple works well with teriyaki chicken and that both would go well with some grilled onions and spicy pepper jack cheese stuffed into a tortilla! First, I let the chicken marinate in my own teriyaki sauce— mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, and pineapple juice—all day...

This bourbon peach glazed chicken with maple roasted asparagus is a great blend of sweet and savory, all out of our own creation. We made a delicious glaze using a jelly base (we used Amaretto Peach Pecan), a few splashes of bourbon, and some chopped peaches. We brushed a little bit on some boneless, skinless chicken breast and popped these...

This has to be one of my favorite lunches that I've made to date. We made a simple pecan crusted chicken for dinner one evening by dipping chicken breasts in flour, egg, then chopped pecans and lightly frying them on the stove top, and then we turned the leftovers into a delicious lunch. I took a whole wheat tortilla, added the chicken and a...
