If you love that sticky-sweet, throat-warming heat from Mango Habanero, this is the buffalo wild wings recipe vibe you can pull off in your own kitchen without deep-frying or a stack of mystery ingredients.

These healthy Mongolian chicken lettuce wraps are my answer to the craving that hits somewhere between "I want takeout" and "I also want to feel like a functional adult."

This baked parmesan chicken chunks recipe is my weeknight answer to the craving for crispy chicken bites without hauling out a fryer or babysitting hot oil. You marinate bite-size chicken pieces in a garlicky herb mixture (so the flavor actually gets into the meat), then toss them in a cheesy parmesan coating that bakes up […]
These ground chicken and spinach sloppy joes are my weeknight fix for when I want the whole nostalgic, saucy, "two-napkins-minimum" vibe without feeling like I ate a brick.
