This is a super quick, easy delicious grilled chicken recipe. Would also be great on pork tenderloin. Warning: The chicken grilled is not that spicy but the reduced marinade sauce is super spicy, so use sparingly! My boys will just eat the chicken by itself and I (of course!) will add extra sauce 🙂 Continue reading Sambal Grilled Chicken
This simple marinade is great with chicken but also works really well with fish & pork. I like to make a big batch of this chicken and then use leftovers to add to a salad or to make a chicken pita. Continue reading Grilled Lemon Garlic Chicken
Wings are a crowd pleaser. Whether you are throwing a cookout or a Football party, bring out a big batch of tasty wings and you will be left with any empty bowl, STAT. This recipe is one of my favorites, from Bon Appetit at Epicurious. They can be made ahead, so they are perfect for a party. You can make the glaze and marinate the wings ahead, then just cook them right before it’s time to serve. Sometimes when I am having a big party, I will make a huge batch and cook them in a disposable pan so that when they are done, I don’t even have a pan to clean up!

It’s summer and I don’t know about you, I always feel like a kid in the summer. I sit at my desk working, look outside the window and wish I was at the beach or the pool. We are lucky, we have a pool, so I try to finish my work early and make simple dinners so that we can maximize the pool time as soon as the work day is over. I love making dishes that do double and triple duty so I can lounge on my lounge chair instead of being stuck inside cooking dinner. Here’s a great way to get multiple meals (Dinner and next day Lunch, Dinner, next day Lunch and next day Dinner, etc.) out of one main recipe.
Day 1, make BBQ Chicken
Day 2, Make BBQ Chicken Salad for Lunch
Day 2, Make BBQ Chicken Quesadillas for Dinner
Day 3, look for something else good to make on my site! cookeatrun.com
Another simple, yummy salad that is great for summer nights. Make a big batch of BBQ chicken and then enjoy the leftovers for this salad. Of course you can experiment and add whatever fixin’s you like! Continue reading BBQ Chicken Salad
I have been a bad blogger. It’s been almost a month since I posted something. It’s not that I haven’t been cooking, I have! It’s just the combo of being really busy and enjoying the summer. Spending nights eating outside on the pool deck and taking advantage of hot summer nights. Continue reading BBQ Chicken
Here is my newest favorite lunch obsession. I make a batch and eat it for lunch for a few days. It’s soooooooooooo yummy and also low calorie and healthy, but honestly do you care if it’s healthy if it doesn’t taste good? I sure as hell don’t! Continue reading Zucchini Succotash with Chicken & Pesto
I love salads. This is one of my favorites and I make it a lot in the summer. You can work with whatever you have on hand. If I have left over corn on the cob in the summer, I will slice it off the cob and add it to salads. I also like to have some black beans in as well. You can add any vegetables you like, use up what’s in that produce drawer!
You want to make sure you season the chicken really well so that each bite has some of the Cajun seasoning on it. Enjoy! Continue reading Southwest Chicken Salad
This recipe is an oldie but a goodie. It is super easy to make and the sauce tastes really rich and creamy but it’s still light from just using low-fat cream cheese. I will make this the day ahead when I know it will be a busy day and just pop it in the oven for a quick dinner. Add a salad and you are good to go. The leftovers are great too (if you have any) 🙂 Continue reading Chicken Enchiladas
