Spicy Honey Chicken Thighs
I know not everyone is a fan of thigh meat, but this recipe may convert you! Chicken thighs are less expensive, incredibly juicy, and easy to find. The dry rub is delicious, the honey mixture caramelizes and creates crispy edges, and this dish is fast – ready to serve in 15 minutes. The original recipe hails from Cooking Light and can easily scale to feed a few or a crowd.

Crock Pot Italian Chicken Pasta
Anyone have a picky eater in their house? I refer to my daughter as a carbatarian…she lives on white carbs and fruit. I can get her to eat chicken nuggets, but that is about all she likes when it comes to meat. But this pasta dish is one she will gobble down without complaint, which means it has gone into high rotation in our house! Doesn’t look super appetizing in the photos, but it tastes delicious and is creamy like Alfredo, but feels healthier. BONUS – takes 5 minutes to throw in the crockpot midday and you have an awesome dinner after you boil water and cook the pasta of your choice.

Chicken Picatta
When I lived in Minneapolis, the neighborhood SuperValu 3 blocks away turned into a Kowalski’s grocery store, and boy, was I spoiled! Gourmet everything – amazing bread, the parmesan dip I still crave, a fabulous chocolate selection, great gifts…it was awesome to shop and explore. Also not unusual to spend $75 on two small bags of groceries – probably not best for my monthly grocery budget, but it sure was fun!
