White Chicken Chili

This creamy white chicken chili with beans and corn is a quick one-pot meal. Add avocado, cilantro, and tortilla chips and you have a crowd-pleasing dinner.

Weeknight Tandoori Chicken

I almost never think to cook Indian food for some reason, but we received tandoori chicken in a Blue Apron box once and it turned out to be really good (love how those boxes help us branch out on occasion)! So I decided to make my own version of this flavorful recipe, and it’s quick and easy enough for any busy weeknight.

Oatmeal Cookie Energy Bites

My older daughter can put away some of these oatmeal cookie bites like it’s her job. Gymnastics helps her keep active, which means she’s often super hungry, and I love to have these on hand for when she needs a snack.

Asian Rice Noodle Salad

The best thing about this salad is how it comes together in no time at all. Asian rice noodles generally cook more quickly than wheat noodles and with the addition of the precut coleslaw mix the prep time is very minimal.
