Crispy Oven Fries & Oven Baked Chicken!

Crispy Oven Homemade Fries & Baked Chicken

My husband loves baked chicken. “What would you like for dinner?” Baked chicken. Nearly every time. He loves the crispy skin which tastes like fried chicken. I use bone in/skin on chicken breasts. Rub with olive oil S&P and pop into the oven at 350℉ for an hour. But what to go with it? Oooh! I know! Crispy baked potato fries – they were as gorgeous as they were delicious. Here’s how:

Recipe Reminder: 15 Bean Soup!

15 Bean soup soaking – an important step – overnight or quick method…

We’ve had a few cool days/cool evenings – and that prompted us to find a recipe that was more fitting for this time of year. We have had four+ months of grilled food and salads. Now is the time for wonderful homemade soups and recipes that actually utilize the stove/oven. Woohoo!

Mini Meatloaves with Green Beans and Potatoes!

Too good for words!

I like to keep recipes on the healthier side at least a majority of the time, it’s why I’m such a big fan of Eating Well’s recipes. They are over the top good and in most cases they’re quick to put together. This recipe makes four servings, so I usually freeze two meatloaves that are partially baked, then either only make 1/2 the potatoes and green beans OR I use the leftover veggies for a different meal.

CHICKEN HUMMUS PITA inspired by Eating Well

First pictured as written in Eating Well. Second image in a pita. Same ingredients can be used. In the pita for this version I did not use chicken. The pita is still full of protein and veggies, so as a quick lunch this is the best! This is so similar to something we’ve been eating for the last few years now. At least one meal/day seems to be filled with hummus/pita/veggies. When I do add chicken to the mix, I usually just use olive oil/S&P. The additional spices in the Eating Well recipe were nice as was the lemon. This recipe is bursting with flavor as well as numerous health benefits. (Recipe link below) – I always make a recipe the first time as written and another time or two before writing my Sticky Note version with the changes I made and ways to simplify the process. They will be strikingly similar, either way, you can’t lose. Absolute heaven in each bite – you will long for this day after day. Trust me.

Orange-Sauced Chicken Recipe from Cooking Light!

My adaptation of Cooking Light’s Orange-Sauced Chicken

I love running across a tasty recipe, especially one that is quick to make and healthy as well. This one appealed to me because it’s something different to do with chicken. A different taste – chicken can get tedious if you let it. Don’t!

Normally I prefer to post an image of the finished product and then the recipe, but Facebook usually chooses image #2 to post, so… that would explain the backwards way I post recipes…
