I'm so excited to share my recipe for Tex-Mex Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas with you today, Tartlets.
If you've come to my house for a Super Bowl party over the past decade, then there's a good chance you've tried this dish. If not, well, today's your lucky day to try these enchiladas for yourself.
At your own home, just to be clear. I'm not cooking for everybody.
Why are Tex-Mex Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas the book-inspired recipe for The...
Move over, Julia Child. There's a new coq au vin recipe in the house.
And it's way easier to make than you think.
Why is coq au vin the book-inspired recipe for Greenwich Park? There’s a lot of drinking in Greenwich Park, especially when it comes to main character Rachel. This pregnant woman is often found with a bottle in her hand, much to the alarm of those around her. Because, well, PREGNANT.
(The fact that Rachel's totally okay...
If you're looking for fall comfort food, look no further than this recipe for Chicken Pot Pie.
It's a dish that makes you feel warm and cozy and like everything’s going to be all right. Which is the exact opposite of how you feel after reading The Drowning Kind.
That book is creepyAF, which is why I chose Chicken Pot Pie as its book-inspired recipe. My thought process is: if you need to feel better, turn to food.
(That’s not medical advice....
I can't believe I've just tried Chicken Saltimbocca for the very first time. Much like with Bara Brith, this is another moment when I can't believe I've lived this long (in Northern New Jersey, no less, with Italian genes) without ever tasting this classic Italian dish. Sure, I’ve seen saltimbocca on menus before; it's pretty much a staple for Italian restaurants. But, it's never been a dish I wanted to eat. I think I shied away from it...
Sunday Night Chicken Dinner, coming in hot! We’re talking pan-seared chicken smothered in a creamy tomato sauce and served over pasta. It’s perfect for a chilly February night with the snow falling outside and the wind howling at your door. In Friends and Strangers, main characters Elisabeth and Sam quickly move beyond their employer-employee relationship and develop an intense friendship, with Sam regularly going over to Elisabeth’s house...
Grand-Mere’s Friday Night Chicken is truth in advertising here, people. Or, truth in blogging, I guess. What you see is what you get. And what I cooked. Full warning: I took a lot of liberties with my book-inspired recipe for The Gown. The original recipe for Grand-Mere’s Friday Night Chicken is included at the end of the novel, and my version is based on that. I kept the flavor profiles the same, but I swapped out ingredients I didn’t...
Don't run away! I know this looks like a salad. Let me reassure you that you're looking at a big ol' honkin' plate of Loaded Turkey Nachos. That's right: there's meat under there. (That's what he said.) Tartlets, you don't even know how difficult it was choosing my book-inspired recipe for Party of Two. This rom-com doubles down on the food talk; cakes abound, as do burgers and fries, take-out food, pizza and beer. There's even a drink served...
Say hello to your new comfort food dish: Smothered Chicken and Broiled Broccolini. This book-inspired recipe for Meg and Jo was an easy pick. One of the things I loved about this novel is that it contains no shortage of delicious food. At one point, Jo March is asked to make “family dinner” for the restaurant crew where she works, and she whips up a Southern staple of smothered chicken, cornbread, and collard greens. I swear my eyebrows shot...
There’s nothing like Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings to warm you up on a cold winter night! Okay, that gratuitously cozy-sounding first sentence was to coax you into reading the rest of this post after you glanced at the featured image. I’ll be the first to admit that these Chicken and Dumplings pics aren’t the prettiest examples of food photography to ever grace my blog. BUT! I guarantee you that this dish is one of the most delicious,...
For dinner tonight, we're making WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS. a.k.a, Firehouse Chicken Wings. Just so you know, I pronounce the aforementioned, drawn-out spelling of “Wings" with an exaggerated Southern twang, making the word sound more like -- well, there's no other way to put this: "wangs." Wings are always referred to as "wangs" when I'm talking about them, and, yes, my husband has informed me that I do this a little too loudly in public....
