Sweet and Sour Sheet Pan Meal
Sweet and Sour Sheet Pan Meal
Usually my husband doesn't like fruit in his dinner, but this was a win! It's definitely going in our rotation. I followed the recipe exactly except I didn't realize we were out of smoked paprika so I just used regular.

One Pot Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
One Pot Creamy Pesto Chicken Pasta
Okay it's not a pretty picture but it's delicious! I used to make a pesto chicken dish similar years ago that everyone loved. It was basically cooked diced chicken with cooked pasta, tossed with a jar of pesto and sour cream with a few seasonings. I don't remember the exact ratios but I'm sure I saved it somewhere. We also had a side of green beans that I forgot to grab a picture of.
I loved this, my son loved this. My husband said "I don't like the spinach" We can add a little splash of veggies in this heavy dish lol. Next time I'll use broccoli which will be even better.

No Peek Chicken
No Peek Chicken
I've never made no peek chicken but I've always seen it throughout all the cooking blogs and Pinterest. On one hand, son loves Budget Bytes One Pan Chicken and Rice so I thought he'd like this. On the other hand, I wasn't sure about it because it's all processed ingredients and I usually don't make super processed dinners like that lol. Not to say I cook all organic and stuff, but every ingredient but the chicken is processed, and that never usually tastes that great.
We didn't care for it, my son did like the rice though. The chicken was dry, and everything was so salty. Oh well not every recipe will be a hit!
The veggies are a Thai chicken broccoli salad that I made, I'll make a post about it. It's okay, the flavor is really light.

Air Fryer Pickle Juice Chicken with Baked Potatoes and Green Beans
Air Fryer Pickle Juice Chicken with Baked Potatoes and Green Beans
It seems like all the chicken I make lately is marinated in pickle juice! It just adds so much flavor and juiciness. I tried a new recipe this time, and it's delicious! Not very low calorie though since there is mayo on it lol. But worth it. The green beans were just cooked/steamed in a skillet in 1/4 cup veggie stock for 3 minutes, then tossed in 1 tbs butter with salt and pepper. I also added a sprinkling of "power seeds" on top. It's just a mixture of hemp, chia etc. The baked potato was just microwaved and topped with some butter, cheese, salt/pepper/garlic, and sour cream.
It was super fast too!

High Fiber Gnocchi Skillet
High Fiber Gnocchi Skillet
Delicious! I used ground chicken because I wanted to make it lighter, but of course it would be tastier with beef. I didn't even know that you could buy cauliflower gnocchi! Next time I'll make a veggie side, but this was kinda spur of the moment. I also used mozzarella because we already have a huge bag from making homemade pizza, I added an onion while cooking the meat, and I seasoned the meat with garlic and Italian seasoning. Definitely in our rotation!

Smoked Salmon Chowder with Homemade Garlic Bread
Smoked Salmon Chowder with Homemade Garlic Bread
This was AMAZING. We loved it so much, I'll definitely be making it again. I just wish it had a bit more salmon flavor, it was pretty light. But I spent $12 on 8oz of smoked salmon so that's expensive enough. But it did last us for two dinners for 3 of us, and two lunches for me.
I made some garlic bread in the bread machine, but it took 2 tries lol. I should of checked how it looked but I didn't, so it's my fault. The first loaf did not have enough water so it was a mess. The second loaf was perfect. I don't know how to make the loaf a uniform color all over, but it tasted great.
The loaf that needed more water

Healthy Instant Pot Chicken Tikka Masala with Turmeric Rice
Healthy Instant Pot Chicken Tikka Masala with Turmeric Rice
Indian food as been sounding so good lately, but I need something quick to make after work. This was amazing! There was a little too much sauce even though I followed the directions, so I'm going to look up any sort of ideas for the sauce....I'd hate to toss it. I wanted to make turmeric rice with it instead of the brown rice like what the recipe called for. I used to make "Golden Rice Bowls" for my son when he was little and he loved it, so I thought I'd make it again. He said doesn't remember them lol. Oh well. Definitely going in our rotation!
