Asian Chicken Salad with Ginger-Peanut Dressing

Asian Chicken Salad with Ginger-Peanut Dressing I love Asian slaw.

Skewers with Chicken & Pineapple

Skewers with chicken and pineapple Every time I make this dinner, I think of the scene in Love Actually, where Liam Neeson is trying to talk his step-son into eating dinner and he says “Saaammm… I’ve done chicken kabobs!”  These are so easy and delicious, and the chicken, pineapple, onion, and red pepper are the… Continue reading Skewers with Chicken & Pineapple
