Pad Thai

Joel and I love Pad Thai but for some reason it’s something that I have never attempted to make at home. I love cooking Asian food and do probably once a week so naturally this has been in the back of my mind to whip up. I think it just seemed intimidating but turns out

Buffalo Chicken Pizza

I love everything and anything with buffalo sauce! So, whenever we visit a pizzeria I am always on the hunt for a buffalo chicken pizza and am never disappointed. Finally, I decided that I shouldn’t have to go out to have this yummy pizza so I made my own version at home. And I’m so glad I did because

Balsamic Chicken Pasta Salad

I kind of have an addiction to pasta salad (well any pasta really if we are being honest here) and this Balsamic Chicken Pasta Salad is one of the best ones I have ever made.

Honey Mustard Chicken and Bacon Panini

When I was a kid, my mom packed my lunch every single day. Occasionally, I would open my lunch box to see a note written on my napkin. “Hope you are having a good day,” “good luck on the test,” “I love you.” It always brightened my day and was usually exactly the encouragement, reminder

Monster Claws {Baked Chicken Tenders}

Noah is our little monster (at 6 months). He loves to growl when we ask him what a monster says. He’s so funny! And these are his sweet, adorable little claws. Not the monster and claws you were originally expecting to see huh? Well, I’ll get to those. There are just thousands, yes thousands, of
