Grilled Tequila Lime Chicken Skewers

July 20, 2021 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

What could be more summery than this? Grilled chicken, check. Tequila and limes, check. Chicken skewers, check! All of the above are great indicators that we’re in pure summer mode and I for one, couldn’t be happier. Summer always flies by so quickly and I try to take full advantage when it’s here. One of the ways to do that is by firing up the grill and making these grilled tequila lime chicken thighs. These are packed with flavour and so simple to make. Because the last thing I want to do in the summer is spend time indoors prepping food. And luckily with this recipe, you won’t need to.

Healthy Macaroni Salad: Gluten Free

May 20, 2021 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

Love macaroni salad, me too! This creamy macaroni salad is easy to make and absolutely delicious. You won’t even be able to tell that it’s actually a little lighter than a traditional macaroni salad. Rather than using lots and lots of mayo (even though I love the stuff!), I use a blend of Greek yogurt and mayonnaise to make it richer, tangier and a bit healthier. So even though this is called a healthy macaroni salad, don’t be afraid to switch it up and try this version instead. Your tastebuds will thank you, I promise.

Who doesn’t love a sheet pan meal? Throwing everything on a sheet pan and cooking it at the same time is exactly what I need sometimes (ok most times). And this Greek sheet pan chicken is bursting with flavour! Letting the chicken marinade for a short time helps do that. Plus, you’ll throw on some potatoes, tomatoes, and a few other goodies to round it out to a full meal. Serve it with some pita and/or a side salad (if you’d like) and call it a day.

Crispy Air Fryer Wings: Mexican Inspired

April 27, 2021 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Yum

If you love chicken wings, especially crispy ones and Mexican food and flavours, you’re gonna love these Mexican chicken wings. Made with a simple dry rub and then air fried until perfectly crispy, they’re actual heaven. Once they’re air fried, go ahead and drizzle the lime crema, cotija cheese, cilantro and some serrano peppers for heat. Highly suggest pairing these air fryer wings with some guac and a marg (preferably on a sunny day) but honestly, you could eat these in the dead of winter and just blast the heat and pretend you’re somewhere warm. I do this ALL the time 😉

Pasta with Peas & Asparagus: Ready in under 30 minutes!

April 20, 2021 By jaclyn 1 Comment

Yum

If there’s one thing I love cooking (and eating) it has to be pasta. Honestly, I’ve considered niching down to just pasta at times, but then what would I do with all the cookies recipes 😉 One of the reasons I love pasta is because it cooks so quickly. Whenever I find myself wondering what to make for dinner, pasta is my go-to choice. And I love how spring forward this pasta with peas and asparagus recipe is. Tossed in a simple extra virgin olive oil and lemon dressing with a good sprinkle of parm, its light on ingredients but big on flavour. Don’t skip on the pistachio panko crunchy topping, it takes this dish to the next level.

Soba Noodles with Peanut Sauce: Ready in 20 minutes!

Yum

I think my favourite salad may just be one with lots of noodles. Slurping up saucy noodles is just so incredibly satisfying, right? Adding crunchy veg, and a delicious spicy peanut sauce takes it up a whole new level. So that’s exactly what I did when I made these soba noodles with peanut sauce. It’s got so much kick from garlic to the spicy taste of sriracha that I think I could put this sauce on anything. Plus, it’s the perfect cold soba noodle salad to take with you wherever you go.

Yum

As much as I love a creamy dairy filled sauce, sometimes, I also want a lighter version. And this creamy, dairy-free carrot pasta sauce is SO good, you won’t miss the cream or cheese at all. Made with roasted carrots, cashews and spices it’s extra creamy and also super bright and vibrant too. I love meal prepping a big batch of this and freezing leftovers for a quick weeknight dinner.
