For the past few months, I’ve been roasting chicken thighs a couple times a week with the standard salt, rosemary, sage, and thyme. My brain and heart just haven’t into concocting recipes. But today I decided to create something new – and also go through the many jars of sauces in my fridge. Enter sacha…

Vietnamese Vermicelli with Chicken and Green Papaya Salad
It’s hot. It’s been about 40ºC with the humidex for over a week and not surprisingly, a heavy, hearty meal isn’t what I’m looking for nowadays. I still love love love noodles, though, so here is a recipe for something I get pretty often in Vietnamese restaurants. Vietnamese Chicken and Vermicelli 2 Chicken thighs 1/2…

Barbecued Chipotle Chicken and Mashed Potato Salad
First, apologies for taking FOREVER to write a new post. It’s been an insane two months with new projects and our first-ever home purchase. Lunch Lady Lainey and the Hubster are now homeowners. Due to the deliciously unseasonable weather, I was able to barbecue a couple of days ago and came up with an amazingly…
Dairy-free butter chicken
Okay, I used actual butter. I try not to think of butter as dairy. To me, it’s a fat. A non-dairy fat. If you are serious about your dairy allergy, you can use butter-replacer. Ingredients: 4 chicken thighs, fat removed and separated by drumstick and thigh Marinade: 1/2 cup plain, unsweetened, non-dairy yoghurt (I used…

Here’s a recipe I made yesterday that yields about 4-5 servings. Ingredients 3 large red peppers, seeded and sliced into strips 1 large green…

Chicken and Red Peppers with Rice and Sauteed Asparagus
I don’t want to alarm anyone here, but I need to tell you all something very important: it is currently asparagus season. Asparagus is woody and gross the rest of the year, but in June, it is amazing. Go buy some now! This recipe is a way simpler Chicken Basquaise, though it would seem that…
Chicken Nuggets!!
Did you know that McDonald’s chicken nuggets have dairy in them? They do. And I LOVE chicken nuggets. My mom used to buy frozen chicken nuggets by the bag that we could heat up ourselves after school. But all chicken nuggets have dairy for some mysterious reason. And they all probably have some gross preservatives…
Chick’n chicken salad
I really wanted to have some nice Asian-style chicken with my salad in an effort to slowly wean myself off the bad eating I’ve been doing lately. I mean, grilled chicken is pretty good for you, right? So what if it’s a thigh piece and you don’t trim ANY of the fat off? Ingredients 1…
