Honey Sriracha Chicken Bowls with Rainbow Salad is one of my favorite quick summer meals. It is bright, bold, colorful, and just spicy enough that adults and kids both love it. I’ve made this Honey Sriracha Chicken Bowls with Rainbow Salad so many times. We had a few really hot weeks and since we don’t […]

Baked Balsamic Chicken. An easy weeknight chicken dinner that takes 5 minutes to prep and just 20 in the oven. Serve sliced on a salad or with a baked potato or salad. I make this once a week. It is so easy and so good. Need a recipe that you can throw together in a […]
