Coconut Chicken Curry

So Aaron and I have a place in our hearts for Thai food. We'd never even really tried it until we moved to WPAFB in Dayton, Ohio. If you ever have the chance...go to Thai 9 in downtown Dayton. Just don't go anywhere else in downtown Dayton.

Anywho...I'd been looking for a red curry soup/noodley concoction that had just the right blend of spice, heat, and yummy coconut flavor. 

And this is what I came up with. It's pretty easy even though some of the ingredients look random. Enjoy!

Pesto Broccoli Chicken Pasta

So this was a throw together that was super easy and super fast. I loved the creamy pesto cause that wasn't heavy at all! That's bonus for a non-red pasta dish. 

Most of this stuff you'll probably have in the fridge/pantry, but if not, it won't be hard to find. After cubing my chicken, the whole dish took about 25 minutes to finish.

Enjoy!

Green Chili Enchiladas

Hello Hello Everyone! So a few nights ago I was craving Mexican...obviously not authentic, but whatever. I've always pretty much sucked at enchiladas (kind of like my issues with Mac & Cheese), however, I think this recipe turned out pretty good!

Not pictured is a pack of skinless, boneless chicken breasts (They were thawing).

Ooey Gooey, cheesy goodness!

Enjoy!

Parmesan Zucchini Fries & Lemon Garlic Marinaded Chicken

I had a bunch of zucchini and a bit of chicken so I decided another marinade and some zucchini fries were in order! I've been wanting to try the zucchini fries forever! They didn't get as crispy as I wanted, but they still taste really good. Zucchinis are such a "wet" veggie, it's always hard to dry them out properly. So I shall try again in the future. For now though, here is Lemon Garlic Marinaded Chicken and PARMESAN Zucchini Fries. Forgive the photo that says crispy...haha. I got ahead of myself ;)

Garlic Pesto Chicken & Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce

Growing up in my family, pasta was king. We had Grandma's spaghetti and meatballs or gnocchi for every holiday and plenty of days in between, so I'm very partial to a really good pasta dish.

I came across a photo on Pinterest titled "Garlic Pesto Chicken with Tomato Cream Sauce Pasta". Of course I was interested, and of course because it looked so good, the link went nowhere. Just my luck.

Sooooo I decided to do it myself. No joke, we almost licked our plates. This stuff was that good. I'm surprised we had sauce left for the noodles because I kept eating it out of the pan.

Super easy and well worth it! I would actually pay money to eat this dish again. A great thing about this dish is that you can eat the two together OR separately. We had them together, but I'm going to make more of the chicken and freeze it for future dinners too. Sooo yummy!

Chicken Penne Pasta with Sundried Tomatoes & Mushrooms

I love love love pastas and I love anything that can be lightened up and even frozen for future use. I found a recipe that was similar to this, but I did make quite a few changes.

I will note, that the end result tasted good but I felt like the sauce was a bit thin. Might have needed more flour and less milk.

Anyways, it still tasted yummy and I'll make note of any changes I would make for next time :)

Aaron's Chicken Matzoball Soup

This is another one of our fall favorites. Aaron's favorite soup is Chicken Noodle. But I'm not a huge fan. Usually when we would make soup and sandwiches, I would have tomato and he would have chicken noodle...from a can. Once we started making our own however, we both loved the other one's favorite. (See http://homesweetspice.blogspot.com/2013/10/creamy-tomato-soup.html for my favorite creamy tomato soup).

So here is Aaron's Chicken Matzoball soup. It makes at least 6 servings. And we have not tried freezing it. Adjust the amounts for how much you want.

The next time we make this, I'll take more photos.

Chicken Teriyaki Noodle Bowls

So last night I was craving a bit of Asian food. Which is not easy to come by in our part of Germany...at least, not within 5 minutes. So I decided to throw together some Chicken Teriyaki Noodle Bowls. This was pretty simple, all I needed to get was the veggie mix. We do have a pretty stocked pantry though, so double check if you need extra items. 

*You'll notice that some of my items are in German but it's the same as the American products.
