Chicken Teriyaki with Brown Rice Recipe #LoveEveryMinute

March 12, 2013 by Kat 6 Comments

Dinner time has always been a chore in my house. I love to cook and I love knowing that my family is eating healthy but sometimes its just so hard to have something on the table every single night. Some nights I just want something easy and quick but I do not want my boys to get bored with the same old recipes all the time. My husband hates going out to eat so I have been trying to recreate some of his favorite eating out dishes at home. One of them is chicken teriyaki. However, I did not want to have to spend all night in the kitchen so I asked around for a quick and easy chicken teriyaki recipe. Print Chicken Teriyaki with … [Read more...]

Southwestern Chicken Recipe with Del Monte® Petite Cut® Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies

February 1, 2013 by Kat 34 Comments

Southwestern Chicken Recipe I have been wanting to make a spicy dish for my husband lately. I can't do too much in that way because of having my gallbladder out and I want to be able to eat dinner as well. I was sent a couple cans of awesome Del Monte® Petite Cut® Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies and Chipotle Chilies to try out a new recipe so I decided I would try Southwestern Chicken. It is a bit different than the one my cousin makes but I think mine turned out better (don't tell her that though). The new Del Monte Southwestern-Style Petite Cut® Diced Tomatoes are the perfect way to spice up main dishes and snacking … [Read more...]

Amazing Tailgate Appetizer Recipe – Texas Cheese Dip

January 24, 2013 by Kat 3 Comments

I was looking through my grandmother's recipes and I found one for a spicy sounding cheese dip named Texas Cheese Dip. It was cut out from a magazine but I can't tell which one so there is my disclaimer that I did not make this up. I did however change several ingredients because I want it to be spicy, not burn everyone's mouth off (though my husband would probably like it better that way). So here is my slightly milder taste on a great SuperBowl or any Tailgate party Appetizer - Texas Cheese Dip.
