Greek Chicken with Lemon and Feta is the transformative dish that completely redefined my approach to weeknight cooking during a particularly stressful season of life.

At the time, I felt completely uninspired by the sparse contents of my refrigerator, which held only a few chicken breasts and a slightly sad-looking lemon that had been forgotten in the crisper drawer.

Baked Chicken Chimichangas became a staple in my kitchen purely by accident one chaotic Tuesday evening while I was staring at a pile of leftover rotisserie chicken and a pack of tortillas.

The heavy smell and the complicated cleanup just felt like too much to handle after a long day, so I decided to see if I could recreate that magic in a healthier way. I knew there had to be a way … Read more

It was a staple at every church picnic and family reunion, sitting proudly in that glorious, texturally chaotic middle ground between a refreshing fruit side and a decadent dessert.
