Pesto Grilled Chicken
Sorry for the absence everyone - I've been trying to adjust to 60+ hour work weeks (in addition to a brutal commute) on the latest project I've been assigned to, and it's been difficult to get things written up that we've been doing. Adjusting to this new work schedule has also been cause for a few … Continue reading Pesto Grilled Chicken
Cucumber and Tomato Salad
I needed to come up with a potluck dish in a pinch and with my CSA to the rescue, I made this very tasty salad. The cucumbers that I used were huge and it still felt like it wasn't enough, but with a party of 20 people, it actually worked out great. Adjust according to … Continue reading Cucumber and Tomato Salad
Lemon Basil Round Steaks
We've got a quick one today for the middle of the week, now that we've got some good weather to call summer out here. Start out making a double-batch of our lemon vinaigrette dressing recipe, then reserve a bit to use on your salad while using the rest as a wet rub for some round … Continue reading Lemon Basil Round Steaks
Pistachio Pesto
Traditional pesto combines copious amounts of basil with garlic, olive oil, pine nuts, and Parmesan or similar hard cheese. We've long been fans of pesto, although we'll usually eliminate the cheese and add a squeeze of lemon. This recipe takes the basic pesto and transforms it even further - substituting pistachios for the pine nuts … Continue reading Pistachio Pesto
Wine-Herb Grilled Chicken
Grilling is a great way to cook just about anything (in my opinion, at least), and chicken is no exception.

So when you want to … Continue reading Wine-Herb Grilled Chicken

Feeling like some good ol' chicken soup, but with a little Cantonese and Thai influence? Playing around with a clipped … Continue reading Basil Chicken & Rice Soup
Malaysian Chicken Soup
This recipe started out inspired by a dish called laksa that comes from Malaysia and Indonesia. Traditional laksa is a spicy noodle soup, of which there are numerous local incantations involving either curry or tamarind for flavor, and a greatly varied list of ingredients such as tempe, boiled eggs, poached fish, rice noodles, bean sprouts, and shrimp … Continue reading Malaysian Chicken Soup
Shredded Chicken Strawberry Salad
As the afternoons get longer (and, in spite of daylight savings, we also seem to be gaining daylight earlier in the morning as well), and the sun starts making appearances more than bi-weekly here in the PNW, our thoughts turn to spring and summer. About the same time, we start to see strawberries arriving in the local … Continue reading Shredded Chicken Strawberry Salad
Chicken Curry Soup
The original version of this recipe came from our friend Colleen at the gym, although where she originally found the recipe, I'm not sure. When I pulled it out of the folder to put on our menu recently, I couldn't help but make some adjustments that would put our own spin on things. The result … Continue reading Chicken Curry Soup
