Hot Honey Chicken Thighs: Made in One Pan

November 18, 2020 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

My love for all things hot honey isn’t going anywhere. That sweet and spicy combination just gets me every.single.time. And when you combine that with chicken, something magical happens. Then again, something magical always happens whenever I eat chicken thighs. It’s my favourite part of the chicken, especially the bone-in and skin-on pieces, YES PLEASE! If you’re like me and love it too, then you’re gonna want to give this hot honey chicken a try. Serve alongside some crispy baby potatoes and kale and make it all in one pan too. What’s not to love about that?!

I do love salads, but I have a few guidelines when it comes to making and enjoying them. They have to be filling and hearty, they have to have some crunch (hello texture) and they need to be delicious. So, whenever I post a salad recipe, you can rest assured that it’s anything but boring. And I’ve been making and enjoying this vegan kale caesar salad recipe for years!

Healthy Rice and Beans: One Pot + Vegetarian

August 13, 2020 By jaclyn 2 Comments

Yum

This recipe is so nostalgic for me. Back when I was vegetarian for a few years, my mom would make this black beans and rice recipe. It quickly became one of my favourite dishes and one that I’d make on the regular. It’s been a long time since I’ve had it, so when I decided to make it and blog it, it brought me right back. I changed it a little, but to be honest I think this makes it better (and easier!), a win-win. Get ready to enjoy some healthy rice and beans.

Zucchini season is one of my favourites, but if you have too many you can start to wonder what to do with them all. If that sounds like you, then hopefully these vegan zucchini fritters can help! I love how easy these are to make, and how tasty they are too. You can easily whip these up in one bowl, in under 45 minutes. I like adding some kick to them with a serrano pepper, but if you don’t want any spice, you can omit them. Cooling them off with a cool ranch dip is also highly, highly recommended.

This is hands down the BEST vegan bolognese sauce I’ve ever made and tried. It’s got texture from the mushrooms and walnuts and so much umami flavour. And it’s surprisingly light. Because of the reliance on fresh tomatoes, it’s great for spring and summer. Serve it on top of any type of pasta you wish, or even use spiralized veggies.

Nothing quite says spring and summer like lettuce wraps! And these shredded harissa chicken thighs are so perfect tucked inside. Although this is one of those recipes that are on the messier side (in terms of eating them), they’re well worth the mess.
