When I first posted this Curry Chicken Salad recipe 13 years ago, I never realized what a staple it would become in my meal-prep rotation. Tender pieces of chicken, crunchy almonds, sweet raisins, and crisp celery are wrapped up in a creamy, tangy, curry-spiced dressing. It’s texture heaven! Plus, this recipe is an absolute winner
You already know my love for salad runs deep, and there’s nothing better than a hearty dinner salad…especially as the days are getting warmer! A classic Cobb Salad is a full meal on its own (no sides needed!), and it couldn’t be any easier to make at home on a budget. The mix of fresh
There are SO many ways to make a soul-warming, homemade Gumbo, but this recipe is the one I always make for my family.

Spring is finally here! I have to confess, the holidays are lovely and all, but I start counting the days until spring as soon as the New Year arrives. I know I’m supposed to live in the moment, but I am always looking forward to spring (and all the delicious produce that comes with it!)
So, I hear you’re trying to sneak in some extra protein and avoid carbs these days? I hear ya! Springtime is always a good time to get back to an active lifestyle with the extra hours of daylight and warmer temps. These viral Cottage Cheese Wraps have many cousins all over the internet, but this
This Easy Sesame Chicken recipe is so easy that you’ll be tempted to toss those take-out menus (seriously, I can’t remember the last time I ordered sesame chicken since I first posted this recipe nearly 12 years ago!!) The deliciously sweet and savory sauce takes only a few ingredients, all of which you can keep
Everybody eats. Say it with me! Every. Body. Eats. The thing I love the most about cooking is that I can (if I’m lucky!) bring a little bit of joy and find common ground with anyone, no matter what their background is, how much money is in their bank account, or what their opinions are.
