Chicken Tostadas
In keeping with the Cinco de Mayo theme of this beautiful brand new sale ad, I’m sharing one of my new favorite Tex-Mex dishes here today. I’ve probably made these tostadas five times over the past three months, because they are soooo easy, incredibly delicious, and everyone (YES! everyone!) here loves them. What more could you ask for in a weeknight dinner?

Chicken & Mushrooms in Garlic White Wine Sauce
April and May are Wellness Months at Balistreri’s Sendiks, and I’ve been asked to participate by featuring healthful recipes throughout the duration. I’m tickled to play along! Who doesn’t want to eat healthfully? Tofu, granola, and veggie burgers all around! Walking lunges on your way to the fridge please… power squats while you unload the dryer and pick up after your punks, and don’t forget to contract your biceps as you lift that sparkling water to your lips!

Honey-Ginger Chicken Skewers
I intended to post a fabulous coconut curry recipe today, but those plans have been hi-jacked by two family members who loved it so much, they insisted on taking it for their lunches today. Sadly, no coconut curry photo is available. My 7th grader put her foot down when I said that she could take the curry if she allowed me to come snap a picture of her eating it the lunch room. That was far too horrifying a thought for her I guess, so no dice.

Biscuit Topped Chicken Pot Pie
This chicken pie was rescued from what could have been a colossal disaster. I’ve seen my share of kitchen failures, and believe me, this would have been right up there with the great ones.

Chicken Chili
I decided to rock the boat around here with this chicken chili last night. This recipe has been dog-eared for years (no exaggeration) and I give it a glance every now and then, but usually end up chickening out (har) and making my old stand by – Cincinnati Style. It’s served over spaghetti with cheese, beans, and onions, and I’ve been told by it’s similar to Real Chili. Never had Real Chili myself, but I hear it’s good stuff. Especially at 2:00 am after an evening of carousing downtown.

Hearty Chicken Stew
While on my way to the Mequon store yesterday, I went back and forth in my head over what to make for dinner. And the answer my friends, was blowin’ in the wind. The wild, wicked, and wacky wind whispered: chicken stew. ‘Cause when the weather outside is frightful, stew is so delightful!
Let’s pretend I didn’t just make a Christmas carol reference and quote Peter, Paul, and Mary all in the same paragraph.

Chicken and Spinach Salad with Bacon Dressing
This right here’s the best spinach salad I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. I just demolished this photo shoot and wish I had some more! Keep in mind this rave review is coming from a gal who doesn’t even LIKE raw spinach all that much – I’m not crazy about how it feels on my teeth, if you want the truth – but this salad’s so flippin’ good, my pearly whites didn’t even get weirded out!

Weeknight Enchiladas Verde
If you don’t care for cilantro and spicy things, or if you’re opposed to green foods in general, here’s your hall pass – you’re excused for today. The rest of you, please remain in your seats for the duration of the ride.
For as simple as these enchiladas are to make, I am absolutely blown away by how delicious they are. Truly. I’m mad for them, I tell you! MAD!! A couple beautiful aspects of the dish: Sendik’s has already done the dirty work of roasting a perfectly good chicken for you. Also the sauce, which tastes bright and lovely and totally homemade, is nothing more than two cans of enchilada sauce and a hefty bunch of fresh cilantro, pureed in the blender to an irresistible, gorgeous green. If you like it hotter, toss in a jalapeno for good measure. I might try that next time.

Fastest Barbecued Chicken
But an even better smell would come from their grill – my aunt’s nearly famous barbecued chicken – one of my all time favorite meals as a kid. She would serve piping hot baked potatoes with butter and sour cream, and a cool and crunchy tossed salad alongside. I’ll never forget that menu as long as I live!
I’ll never master her recipe either, but I’ve been making this one for a few years now. Every time I do, I flash back to those steamy summer evenings of my childhood. Sticky saucy fingers and faces, bug spray and fireflies, and the warm feeling from being reunited with family –-

Compose Yourself
I’ve been about the farthest thing from composed today. In fact, I’ve been…I’ve been…well, I’ve been (and remain) a blithering ninny. Going about my day with tissue wad in hand and sobbing at the drop of a hat, I’ve bent the ear of any friend (or stranger) who has regrettably (for them) hazarded a guess at the reason for my bloodshot eyes and tearstained cheeks.
