Moroccan Chicken Salad with Chickpeas and Apricots

Moroccan Chicken Salad with Chickpeas and Apricots by brady evans

I don’t love salads in the winter time. Out of season produce just isn’t appealing and neither is the idea that it was shipped from thousands of miles away to get to my home. My husband, on the other hand, pretty much requests “big salads” as a dinner each and every week. When I saw this recipe, which met his request without being…

Lemon Glazed Chicken Tenders

Lemon Glazed Chicken Tenders by brady evans

Some would see it as a perk: living pretty far away from any take-out options. No sabotaging your diet with fast food. No temptation to be lazy. No wasted money on ready made food when you have a pantry full…Others like my husband, would see it as punishment.I am always all for cooking at home when the other option is going to town…

Snow Ice Cream

Snow Ice Cream by brady evans

I was just watching the evening news coverage. Yesterday Atlanta was brought to its knees with a winter storm. And when the coverage got to the parts about kids sleeping at school, parents walking miles to check on the kids at their schools schools, and parents whose children’s whereabouts remained unknown for hours, I just began…

Pumpkin S’mores Cake

Pumpkin S’mores Cake by brady evans

I needed this cake, Pumpkin S’more Cake, for a Wednesday night dinner. Looking at the recipe, it became clear that the cake had to be made in advance of Wednesday night. I preferred to make it in steps over 2 days, since the recipe had many components, but upon reading the recipe and consulting some baking experts, I decided few of…

Avocado Cesar Salad Dressing

Avocado Cesar Salad Dressing by brady evans

My husband must have been *really* hungry when he agreed to eat this salad. In fact, he had seconds.The Omnivore despises kale. He avoids it in the grocery store, doesn’t want to talk about it, and almost threw away my kale cookbook when it arrived in the mail. And the star of the dish below was…kale.Well, he’d say the star was the…

Wonton Chicken Tacos by brady evans

This post is nothing but a celebration for my friend Nicole of PreventionRD. A lot of times we food bloggers refer to our friends, and though they may be people we correspond with and feel like we know, they are people we have never met face to face. I am thankful to say that is not the case for Nicole and me. We have met on…

Chickpea and Roasted Red Pepper Salad by brady evans

I got home from work this week and basically the first thing the Omnivore said to me was, “I want to go out for a really bad for me burger and greasy fries.”Oh, really?Not that I regret the Reuben.My husband and I really enjoyed this salad for quite a couple of days. Mixing up the topping and then just chopping a head of romaine when…

Basil Peach Sorbet

Basil Peach Sorbet by brady evans

“Weird is good.”I don’t know if my mom indoctrinated me with that statement to make me feel better about my innate weirdness or her innate weirdness. For a long time it wasn’t my choice about whether or not I was weird. My mom had my hair cut asymmetrically. My mom clothed me in jewelry and accessories found at art shows rather…

Chicken Gyros

Chicken Gyros by brady evans

Growing up in SmallTown, SC there were two restaurants. Well, there might have been 3, but one of them definitely had a C health rating. The first was the barbecue place. Open only Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the owners wasted not one red cent on ambiance or style. It served only water and sweet tea and you couldn’t go there…

Graham Crackers

Graham Crackers by brady evans

Every summer I fall in love with graham crackers. Campfires and cookouts reintroduce me to them – forgotten over the long winter. They usually show up on a platter with chocolate bars and marshmallows in tow or in some variation of a s’more themed desserts.But, believe it or not, a good graham cracker is worth standing alone.…
