My spouse brought home some Hatch chilis from New Mexico, and this is what I made of them. They turned out so delicious, I went in search of an alternative pepper from closer to home. Anaheim chilis are larger and a bit hotter, but they make an acceptable alternative.

Weekend Food Prep–Mediterranean-Style Baked Chicken and Brown Rice Pilaf
I don’t know if I get to call this Mediterranean-style or if that is culinary cultural appropriation, except that the flavors were inspired by some of my favorite dishes from a local Lebanese restaurant, and it has chickpeas in it. For a tasty, and maybe more legit variation, you can substitute a couple tablespoons ofContinue reading “Weekend Food Prep–Mediterranean-Style Baked Chicken and Brown Rice Pilaf”
Weekend Food Prep–Tabbouleh Mason Jar Salad
Tabbouleh makes a pretty good cold-season salad. Fresh parsley and cucumbers aren’t lower quality in the winter. I use grape tomatoes for more flavor and to ensure nicer quality, as chopped fresh tomatoes can get mushy over the course of the week, but if you’re making this for a summer lunch with several people, feelContinue reading “Weekend Food Prep–Tabbouleh Mason Jar Salad”

Weekend Food Prep: A step-by-step guide to making boatloads of shredded chicken
Like a lot of bros, I eat a lot of chicken breast. It’s a versatile protein source, and when I buy it as a family pack of boneless, skinless breasts, relatively cheap per serving. I always have some on hand in the freezer (of course!), for a last-minute protein source for lunches, snacks or quickContinue reading “Weekend Food Prep: A step-by-step guide to making boatloads of shredded chicken”
Weekend Food Prep: Creamy Curried Chicken Salad
I based this recipe off of something I’ve eaten and enjoyed at a friend’s house many times. I find it to be delicious on it’s own, as a topping to salad greens or as a sandwich filling. To make the prep easier, I keep cooked, shredded chicken breasts in the freezer. Eventually, I’ll include myContinue reading “Weekend Food Prep: Creamy Curried Chicken Salad”
Weekend Food Prep: Neil’s Famous Chicken
I eat like a bro about 80% of the time–lots of chicken, brown rice, and oatmeal in the weekly mix! I also prefer to plan and prep the majority of my meals in advance.
