Serve it with some Healthy Fried Rice healthy fried rice or Stir fries are one of those dinners that I rely on all the time. They are fast, easy, and I almost always have ingredients on hand that can quickly morph into some type of Asian inspired quick dinner. However, sometimes even the idea of standing at the stove for 15 minutes tending to the stir-fry seems like too much work. On those nights, this is your recipe. No standing by the stove - just toss everything on a sheet pan and in no time you'll have dinner on the table. Now in true short-cut fashion, here is what I recommend to really make this dinner quick and easy. Chopping veggies can be time-consuming, so instead head over to the freshly bagged produce and grab a bag of Asian veggies. I got mine at Trader Joe's and everything is pre-chopped and ready to go. All I had to do wa...

If you love these drinks at Starbucks, you will be so happy with this at home version! I don't know about you but I have a hard time resisting all the delicious holiday coffee drinks that pop up virtually everywhere. Especially now that the cold weather has rolled in, I find myself tempted to buy a peppermint mocha every time I leave the house.

Easy Honey Mustard Chicken

Honey Mustard Chicken make the best weeknight dinner with virtually no clean up since everything is cooked on one sheet pan. Plus the homemade honey mustard sauce made with honey, olive oil, garlic, whole grain mustard, and thyme couldn't be more delicious. Serve it with some Baked Crispy Broccoli or quinoa .

However, the traditional version is normally packed with tons of extra sugar and mayonnaise. And although it tastes delicious, it's definitely not the best option when you are trying to eat healthily. Luckily with just a few changes, you can make this delicious updated honey mustard chicken packed with all the same flavors and ready on your table in less than 30 minutes.

Easy Spicy Barbecue Chicken Thighs

When life gets busy, I almost always turn to broiled chicken thighs for an easy dinner option. They are fast, easy to make, and full of flavor. Lately, I have been all about adding spice to my dishes, so I love this Spicy Barbecue option but you could try these  Broiled Asian Chicken Thighs  for a less spicy option. Let's talk about chicken thighs for a minute. I am someone who genuinely love chicken thighs. They are so much more juicy and tasty than their boneless, skinless breast counterparts. I know not everyone agrees with me there but that's okay. I'm happy to eat your portion. And in case you are wondering, this recipe will definitely work with chicken breast as well. Just marinate the breasts and then cook them on the grill, in a skillet, or in a hot oven. I wouldn't recommend broiling, since they may burn before being cooked through. The good news is, these chicken thighs only take about 10 minutes to cook. But the bad-ish news is that you will need some adva...
