She made them over and over, and eating them never gets boring. This is the kind of home cooking families have been doing for generations, and it brings families together. My original recipes are developed by me, for other people who aspire to be the kind of cook whose food is fun to make and good to eat- the kind of food that brings people to the table.

When I went away to college and got the rudest dietary shock of my entire life, I used to dream about this chicken at night. It is so, so, SO good and you never get tired of it.

Hold the phone! This recipe is so easy that it’s actually not too late to add it to your holiday list! And let me give you a little tip if you are expecting vegetarians to dinner this week. Make this and some quinoa, and add a green salad and a dish of toasted almond slivers to the table. (That sounds really good, doesn’t it?

If you also make traditional favorites like sweet potatoes, squash, or (vegetarian) dressing, this will round out the meal for the veg folk and make sure everyone feels that excitement when they sit down at the table.
