Chicken Street Tacos

Chicken Street Tacos

We have been on a real Mexican food kick the past few weeks. No matter what time of the year, we probably eat Mexican at least one time per week. It’s one of our favorites! But since it is summer and we are able to use the grill, I am trying to use it as much as possible. Taking recipes that I usually make in the kitchen and moving them to the grill has been a fun spin on our usual weekly menu lineup. A few weeks ago, I shared the Mexican Style Street Corn (see that recipe here). And today I’m continuing the trend of Mexican on the grill with these Chicken Street Tacos.Read More

Avocado Caprese Chicken

I have shared my love for weeknight dinners on the grill before (most recently in this post). Since we had a few warmer days in March, we have already used the grilled quite a bit this spring. I made this Avocado Caprese Chicken a few weeks ago and couldn’t wait to share it with all of you. This easy grilled dinner is perfect for weeknights or anytime you are looking for a quick dinner. Pair it with a salad, rice or even pasta, this Avocado Caprese Chicken is a new favorite in our house.

Easy Crockpot Dinner: Pesto Chicken

Crockpot Pesto Chicken Recipe @rachmccarthy7
Happy Tuesday! Gearing up for a crazy week at my 9-5 job so I thought this quick, weeknight dinner would be a good recipe to share this week. I’m always trying to come up with quick and healthy dinners for the work week and as I have mentioned before, the crockpot is my best friend when it comes to this. I made this a few weeks ago for dinner and we just loved it: only four ingredients for a complete meal, quick and easy and the chicken came out super tender. I’m not the biggest fan of chicken, but it’s tolerable for me in the crockpot. This chicken was delicious and I ate every bite! Totally unusual for me, so this weeknight dinner is highly approved!

Ragu Traditions: Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

Every family has traditions when it comes to food. For me, it was very rare that we did not sit down as a family for dinner each night growing up. Now, with busy lifestyles, family dinner time seems to be a thing of the past. And although we do not have kids yet, my husband and I make it a point to sit together nearly every night for dinner, no matter what our schedules entail. Full disclosure: I am typically not making a “from scratch” meal each night. With both of our hectic calendars, I am constantly trying to come up with quick recipes and shortcuts to cut down on my time in the kitchen.
If you have not noticed by now, my love for pasta goes pretty deep — I usually try to incorporate a pasta dish at least once into our weekly menu. Since making a batch of homemade sauce on a weeknight is not an option, you can usually find me in the pasta sauce aisle searching for a sauce that has that homestyle flavor in a jar.
