We live about five or six blocks from the neighborhood Greek restaurant, and I’d say we are pretty regular customers. But sometimes I’m in the mood to eat Greek food, but I’m not interested in dining in a restaurant or even carryout. So I guess that means that if my wife and I want to […]
Thai-Style Basil Chicken
For years I have assumed that Thai Basil Chicken was too complicated a dish to make at home. Especially for me, someone with zero experience with Thai cuisine. But after finding a local Thai restaurant in a food hall in Atlanta, and ordering a delicious bowl of Thai Basil Chicken, I noticed that there really […]
Nashville Hot Chicken
It’s been a few years now since I first posted my fried chicken recipe, which I usually cook in coconut oil, but I wanted to start fresh with an updated recipe for a spicy Nashville hot chicken recipe, cooked in either coconut oil or avocado oil. **Don’t care about story time? Go straight to the […]
Chicken Pot Pie
I don’t know what other people think of when they hear the words Chicken Pot Pie, but I immediately think of frozen pies in a metal tin from the mid to late 70’s. And not really in a bad way, almost affectionately. Which is not to say that I want to find a few and […]
Boneless Chicken Breasts In 7 Steps
I have been taught over the years that there really isn’t much that I could make as a home chef that would be more boring than boneless chicken breasts. And I believed it. For a long time. And then my wife and I went to Blackberry Farm in Knoxville, TN, which is (pretty)-well known for […]
Mexican Chicken And Vegetable Soup
If you are looking strictly at pictures, I suppose this bowl of soup looks very similar to some others that I have made, but I promise, it’s different. At least a little different! First, and foremost, I realized that all of my soups and stews were either vegetable based, or used pork or beef, and […]
Chicken Tikka Masala
Whenever my wife and I go out for an Indian dinner, I almost always gravitate to the chicken tikka masala. It’s right in my comfort zone, both with the heat levels as well as the flavors. My wife and son often go for spicier foods, but for me, the tang and creaminess of the yogurt […]
Oven Roasted Chicken Saltimbocca
Back home in Louisville, there is a local Italian restaurant that serves a pretty awesome chicken saltimbocca entree that my kids are huge fans of. Sadly, my palate is not well defined enough to know exactly what goes into their recipe, but everything about it works well, the chicken, the pork, and sauce. While I […]
How To Cook A Butterflied Turkey – Maybe Even Two!
Thanksgiving was just a week or two ago, and here is my obligatory turkey post. But just one turkey won’t do. Since we host about 25 people for dinner each year, we go for two turkeys. At the same time. And as far as I am concerned, there’s only one way to get that job […]
Homemade Organic Bone Broth
On occasion, my daughter likes to remind me why I originally created this blog. It wasn’t to experiment with new recipes and to try out various dietary experiments on myself, and family. It was to have a one stop shop for my kids to remember, and maybe one day use, some of their favorite recipes […]
