I’ve been on the hunt for simple, versatile recipes using pantry staples and I have found a great one! I came across this recipe from the Tightwad Gazette and I knew I had to give them a go. I love how this recipe doesn’t give you the exact ingredients, instead it tells you what ratio you should use for each type ingredient so that you can use whatever you have on hand and really make them your own.
This recipe for Chicken and White Bean Chili from Neiman Marcus is freaking awesome! For some reason I have neglected the Neiman Marcus cookbook for the past six months and I am so glad I dusted it off. The chili recipe I am highlighting here is healthy, delicious and satisfying. Not only is this one-pot wonder delicious, it is easy to make and comes together quickly.
Have you ever tried that cabbage salad with chicken that is in the deli section of the grocery store? You know the one – it has ramen noodles, nuts and a whole lot of dressing. It is great for potlucks or in my case, also good for a lunch on the go. I have actually been known to sneak a few bites from the to-go container in between errands. No judgement please…
The cult favorite Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning has become a staple in my house this past year and I have developed a bit of an obsession. I love a Trader Joe’s fan favorite and this seasoning definitely has a following. I find the complex flavors in this little shaker to be the perfect complement to items that might be a bit bland on their own. For example, it is delicious on eggs, avocado toast, grilled chicken, sprinkled on salads and my new favorite, Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoned Kale Chips.
