Gluten-Free Paleo Cauliflower "Rice" recipe from Live Better America. Sweet Potato-Andouille Hash. Sriracha-Brown Sugar Hot Wings. Herb and Citrus Oven Roasted Chicken. Herb and Citrus Oven Roasted Chicken We don’t go out to eat often. There’s nothing more I love than gaining a little cooking inspiration and having someone else whisk away the dishes.

But, because my hubby (and sometimes, even I) thinks the food I make is just as good as the grub we get at restaurants, we tend to enjoy the majority of our meals at home. No complaints here – cooking is what makes my heart beat after all! This roasted chicken is simply not helping my case… Not to mention – making this meal probably cost me a whole $8. The chicken turns out citrusy, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth good. You can also switch up the seasonings to a spicy mix and toss in lemons and limes instead of oranges. However you dish up this delicious meal, though, you’re gonna love it. It’s even better if you let it marinade in the olive oil mixture overnight! Once the chicken has baked, remove the pieces to a serving platter. Print Save Ingredients: 1/4 cup olive oil 4 cloves of garlic, minced Directions: 3-Ingredient Shortbread Cookies.

3-Ingredient Shortbread Cookies All I had the energy to do on Friday was bake a batch of this shortbread. It was definitely a sick day! I cuddled up with a cookie and a cup of pumpkin spice tea, grabbed a big blanket and my favorite chick flick. Along with a handful of cold medicine, it put me right back on track for the weekend… Until we decided it would be a lazy, minimally productive one, starting Saturday with a big feast of a brunch and a boat ride through Austin. No complaints here! To feel like I was getting at least one thing done, though, I checked this wonderful buttery, crumbly shortbread off my list… and I’m glad I did!

Three ingredients: Butter, sugar, flour (What’s better in this world anyway?) I know you have the ingredients (I’m psychic like that) and I knoowwww you have 10 minutes, so why not whip these up? Bake up these crisp, buttery rounds of love and I bet you’ll see why it’s become my new go-to for a basic shortbread. Print Save Yield: Makes approx. 15 cookies Enjoy! Zucchini Pizza Bites. Zucchini Pizza Bites Whew, we made it through the week! Happy Friday, foodie friends – you did it! And to celebrate, today I have a delicious, ooey-gooey, impossible-to-stop-at-one treat for ya… Yesterday morning, hubby and I hopped a plane from Texas to Washington D.C. for a little getaway. So, let’s celebrate the little things with these sinfully good, but plenty healthy, zucchini pizza appetizers! Totally worth throwing a party just so you can serve ‘em up and wow your friends, in my opinion… Just after I made these, Mark began watching me impatiently as I was perfecting these pizzas and snapping photos, wondering when I’d be done and he could get to devouring!

… Minus a couple I had snagged while he wasn’t looking. Well, let me tell you… I wanted MANY more bites than just a few! Now go surprise your friends and turn up to your next get-together with a plateful of these adorable, scrumptious pizza bites. Print Save Ingredients: 2 large zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds Directions: Honey-Sriracha Chicken Foil Packet recipe from Live Better America. Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings - Chew Out Loud. I grew up in a kitchen where the fridge always showcased a prolific amount of hot sauces. My dad was the self-proclaimed King of Spice. His garden invariably boasted an abundance of hot peppers. All shapes, sizes, and colors – you name it, he grew it. A plethora of hot sauces was created out of those homegrown peppers.

In addition to the DYI variety, Dad also kept an ample supply of store bought versions, like the currently popular Sriracha. Dad would consider Sriracha on the very mild side of the spice scale. But for me, it contains the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and kick. Relevant side note: Hubby drowns his pho in Sriracha – yes, he’s that type of pho eater. This Peanut Sesame Noodles with Sriracha is a home run around here. These Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings leaves us no leftovers. These chicken wings are easy enough for weeknights, yet tasty enough for any weekend party. Kick it up and enjoy! Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings From: Chew Out Loud Recipe type: appetizers Serves: 6.
