hoooked. [chicken pad thai]
Ever since my co-worker introduced me to chicken pad thai a few years ago, I’ve been hooked. There’s a restaurant across the street from our office that has some of the best pad thai I’ve ever tasted. I’d never made the dish before, so I decided to give it a shot. This recipe came pretty close to our local spot, and it was delicious!

green goddess. [tacos w. shredded chicken in a spicy poblano cream sauce topped w. caramelized onions & sour cream]
I’ve come to the realization that just about anything is delicious in a tortilla. This shredded chicken in a spicy poblano cream sauce is incredibly flavorful on its own, but made even better when spread on a grilled tortilla and topped with sweet, caramelized onions. These tacos are a new favorite!
tequila tuesday. [spicy jalapeño margarita]
can’t go wrong. [jalapeno-cilantro spaghetti w. lime chicken]
This pasta dish is a new favorite. Jalapeno, lime and cilantro…you can’t go wrong! The flavor was incredible, and similar to that of CPK’s chicken tequila fettuccine–but better, of course, considering it’s homemade!
something different. [lime angel food cake w. lime glaze & pistachios]
I’ve always been a sucker for angel food cake. The slightly crispy exterior and fluffy interior make for a heavenly combination. But until now, I’d only made the boxed version of the cake. Much to my surprise, my homemade version turned out light and delicious, and the lime glaze and pistachios added the perfect pop of flavor to the otherwise plain cake. This is a must-make!
taco time. [crock-pot shredded chicken w. corn, black beans & jalapeno in a homemade crunchy taco shell]
Happy Wednesday, everyone! I wish I had exciting news to share, but there’s not much happening over here–just working away and spending lots of time in the kitchen.
This crock-pot shredded chicken is unbelievably simple and you’ll most likely have most, if not all, ingredients on hand. The chicken would be delicious plain, but there’s nothing like a fresh, crunchy homemade taco shell. Am I right?
