Teriyaki Chicken Tenders

We can’t get enough Teriyaki here – and these were super simple using the tenders. I didn’t have any fresh scallions or ginger on hand (can’t wait to make it again when I do!) so I improvised with some ground ginger and served the tenders over basmati rice with a side salad. It was a hit!

Hope you enjoy these Teriyaki Chicken Tenders from Hello Fresh .

Vegan Coffee Cake

This is SO delicious and simple it simply had to go on the site! If you don’t have the need for vegan – just ignore the title – because it’s SO good you’ll never know what’s missing! Between this and the Best Pancakes Ever, you’ve got your breakfasts covered.

Behold: Nora Cook’s Vegan Coffee Cake

PS: If you happen to have a skillet, I just baked this in mine this morning, and it was so beautiful (and easy) to serve at the table, alongside some tasty sausages and fruit.

 

Uncle John’s Risotto

One of my fondest (and most magical!) culinary memories is watching my amazing Uncle John cook up risotto in his incredible kitchen in Ireland. And while he was pretty pro, and used his own broth from cooking a chicken prior, I stick to the recipe on the side of the Rice Select arborio jar! And truly, it’s divine.

Don’t be intimidated by risotto – it’s actually simple! I have made this particular recipe countless times, and am happy to report that a nephew enjoys it so much it has now been on a solid Thanksgiving rotation for many years. I often make it weeknights too, it pairs perfectly with a roast chicken. And not a spoon stir goes by that I am not reminded of those wonderful, warm memories. Enjoy!
