Cajun Chicken and Andouille Chili

Cajun Chicken and Andouille Chili

This post is sponsored by Tony Chachere’s, but all opinions are 100% my own.

Chili is one of my go-to meals when I want a cozy and hearty weeknight dinner. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create this delicious variation of a classic. This cajun chicken and andouille chili has everything you love about a traditional chili, but with a Cajun twist! This chili is the perfect dinner to serve up to your whole family any night of the week and the best part is you can have leftovers to enjoy on a another night that are even better.

Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan

Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan

We are officially entering the season of cozy foods and to me that means more soups, pastas, and stick to your bones kinds of recipes will start to be made in my kitchen and probably in yours too. Skillet meals are something I try to cook a lot of because it always means less clean up for me and honestly, even though I love cooking, I absolutely dread the dishes afterwards. So anytime I can use less dishes to make a meal, then I am all for it. That’s why I decided to create this recipe for easy skillet chicken parmesan that would be a one pan deal that’s easy enough to make on any night of the week.

Spiced Citrus Fennel Braised Chicken Thighs and Carrots

I am not good about meal planning over the weekend.  I think it's because that part of my brain turns off when Friday rolls around.  So Monday for me is when I plan out my week and figure out all of our meals.  One thing is for sure when I am planning, and that is all of the meals have to be EASY and relatively fast too!  I recently did a round-up of my top ten easy weeknight meals, and this recipe that I am sharing with you today could easily get added to that list!  My spiced citrus fennel braised chicken thighs and carrots should most certainly be added to your weeknight dinner rotation!

Healthy Whole Wheat Shrimp Pasta with Kale Pesto

Thanksgiving is over...did you make it through?  Are you still in stretchy pants?  Because it's totally okay if you are.  If you had a week anything like mine, you are probably trying to get back on a the healthy diet bandwagon (if not for only a few weeks before Christmas) and are looking for recipes that aren't lacking in the flavor department.  My healthy whole wheat shrimp pasta with kale pesto is just the kind of one pot meal that will have you forgetting that you are eating something completely good for your body.

Pork Pozole Rojo : My Diary of Us

Pozole Rojo with Pork

It seriously feels like forever since I blogged a recipe.  I am trying to get back into the swing of things now that all the recipes in the cookbook have been completed, and slowly but surely it is all coming back to me.  Getting back into a routine with not only work, but life in general has been much needed.  

I was on a roll last week with working out, eating right, and getting back to some kind of regimen and then bam that stratchy throat feeling came at me hard on Friday.  I knew it was coming and even though I tried to drink it away with ginger tea and vitamin packed smoothies, it just got worse.  Turns out it was a nasty sinus infection and I am finally feeling somewhat better after a few days on antibiotics.  I don't know about you, but when I don't feel good I crave soups non-stop. There is just something about the warm broth that makes me feel better instantly.  My pozole rojo with pork is just the kind of soup that I want when I am sick (or not sick honestly) and I think that you will love it too!
