Crispy Chicken Tacos with Avocado Buttermilk Ranch

I’m not sure of the technical way to measure the greatness of a meal (if such a thing exists), but I want to say that it’s probably “how likely would it be that I’d happily– maybe even eagerly– eat this on an already painfully full stomach?” Because you know what? I spent this weekend raiding…

Chicken Cacciatore

When I used to think “date night”, I didn’t think “chicken”.  Medium-rare steaks, juicy pork tenderloin, butter-drenched lobster; sure.  But chicken?  Nah.  It’s just too boring.  Too bland.  Not sexy enough. However, after 3 years of James begging me to make Chicken Cacciatore, I finally caved.  I had eaten it before– a simple meal of tomatoes, peppers,…

Crispy-Skinned Baked Chicken Wings + Honey Chipotle Garlic Sauce

I am not what we’d call “proper” when it comes to table manners.  I rest my elbows on the table.  I devour my dinner in record time.  If I chew on gristle or bone, I’ll stick my hands right in my mouth and pick it out without a second thought.  When I eat, I can guarantee…
