Chicken pot pie is one of those foods I’ve always loved. It’s warm and creamy, there’s just the right amount of chicken, lots of vegetables, and a perfect crust to include a bit of in every bite, like a biscuity condiment. But I haven’t made it in ages, because my “go-to” recipe involved canned “Cream… Continue Reading

Freezer Friday – Homemade Healthy “Fast Food” Paleo Chicken Nuggets
Cooking for myself and a toddler (while my husband is deployed) is SO different than cooking for all 3 of us. Especially since my husband takes leftovers to work for lunch. So I’ve been focusing on trying to make 3 categories of dinners for Anneliese and myself, to avoid eating the same leftovers for a… Continue Reading
Veggies-And-Chicken Alfredo
Fettuccine schmettuccine. Who needs pasta? Not me! Even before I “found Primal” over 3 years ago, when I was a HARDCORE PASTA LOVER, something funny happened. I’d make a “pasta thing” which would have noodles of some sort, sauce, veggies, and sometimes a meat. Then I’d try to get more of the “good stuff” (i.e.,… Continue Reading
Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Chicken
You know those bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers that are filled with cream cheese? I could eat about 100 of them at a time. I LOVE them. But I rarely make them because carefully scooping all of the seeds out of the jalapenos is a bit time consuming, and I’m always afraid I’ll get pepper juice in… Continue Reading
Lemon Garlic Chicken with Green Beans and Potatoes
I was so excited to try this recipe from Real Simple. I’m a sucker for lemony things, skin-on chicken, and any excuse to eat roasted garlic. The first time was a bust though. I’ve cooked lemon slices like this before (the original recipe has you put them in the bottom of the baking dish), and… Continue Reading
Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken with Balsamic Date Sauce
Better Homes and Gardens is one of my favorite magazines. I mostly ignore the garden stuff because of my black thumbs, but the rest of the magazine is lovely. Organization, décor, some nice editorials, recipes… even though most of the recipes are far from grain-free, usually there is one per magazine I tend to rip… Continue Reading
Gluten-Free Southern Style Chicken and Dumplings (like Cracker Barrel!)
I came across this recipe on pinterest, which is adapted from this recipe at The Kitchn. It’s for southern-style chicken and dumplings. You know, the kind you get at Cracker Barrel. Like Emily’s husband (hey, that’s my name!), that’s what I ordered at Cracker Barrel EVERY SINGLE TIME we would go. Because it’s amazing and… Continue Reading
Peanut Chicken and Tangy Broccoli
I’m not a big fan of KIWI magazine – it’s one of those natural parenting types which would be nice (I miss Mothering), but it’s pretty “conventional wisdom” and seems to push the idea that veganism and vegetarianism are awesome, noble, super-healthy ways of eating. Still though, they have good articles and recipes here and… Continue Reading
Chicken Beef-ish Veggie Soup
I wanted to make a soup with a beef stock / tomato juice base, and also had leftover chicken from making Vampire Chicken earlier this week. So this happened. And it was good. Chicken Beef-ish Veggie Soup Ingredients: lots of butter 2 onions, diced 3-4 medium carrots, diced 1 cup green beans, fresh or frozen… Continue Reading
40 Clove Garlic Chicken, or Vampire Chicken (in the Crock Pot)
So I’m not sure where I first heard of Vampire chicken, but I think maybe it was from The Wilderness Childe. Anyway, it’s quite simple: basically chicken, herbs, and a ton of garlic (enough to keep vampires far, FAR away) in the crock pot, and given my love of garlic, I had to try it… Continue Reading
Grain-Free Chicken Cordon Bleu – Make and Freeze
This is another meal that I made while I was pregnant, and froze for post-partum. It was really good the first night, but I venture to say that it was even better after freezing – because in my vacuum-sucked freezer bags, the breading on top got sucked to the chicken, and changed somehow. It was… Continue Reading
Chicken Broccoli Cheese Bake
This is something I made while I was pregnant to freeze for post-partum. I’m so glad I did! I made one big batch, and put some of it in a casserole dish to eat that night, and froze the rest in those little foil bread tins… a couple sized for enough for me and my… Continue Reading
