Since so many of us are cooking more than we ever have before, I thought it would be fun to share my favorite recipes.
Recipes on Repeat
These are tried-and-true favorites that often make a weekly appearance in our house.
The Best Turkey Tacos by Buns in My Oven
- I have chipotle chilli powder which adds an extra kick – I usually use closer to 1 tablespoon chilli powder instead of 2
- I skip the brown sugar
- Still delicious without green chiles or chicken stock
Israeli Couscous with Cherries by Food Network Kitchen
- I always used Trader Joes’ dried bing cherries since they’re a staple in my pantry
- Often make without the feta since I don’t always have it
The Best Chicken Marinade by Mom on Timeout
- I sometimes I add in chopped jalapeno or red pepper flakes to make it spicy
Chicken Milanese and Escarole Salad by Smitten Kitchen
- This is always a hit whether for dinner with my husband or a casual dinner party. I follow the chicken milanese recipe exactly, but mix things up with a salad depending on what I have.
