Special thanks to Circulon® for sponsoring this recipe for 20 Minute Caprese Chicken and the opportunity for one lucky winner to receive a Circulon® Momentum™ Cookware Set! #CirclesForLife #SimpleGourmet I know, I know. It's already October. I still find it hard to believe! Where I live school starts right in the middle of the official "Summer" months, so I get thrown off with my seasons those first few months. It also doesn't help that September had a majority of triple digit weather days, … [Read more...]
Shrimp, Chicken and Sausage Gumbo with Mango
Special thanks to National Mango Board for sponsoring this Shrimp, Chicken and Sausage Gumbo with Mango recipe as a part of the #MeetYourMango campaign. As always, all opinions are my own. Now that my kids are getting older, I've been thinking a lot about family traditions. When my children have their own families, I'd like them to look back at their childhood memories with love. I'd like them to be able to recall specific traditions from their memories and build their own with their families. … [Read more...]
Mama Harris’ Kitchen’s Top 10 Recipes for 2016
Another year in the books, folks. This year seemed endlessly long, am I right? 2016 was definitely quite a year. I know many people who can't wait for the year to be over, and I do understand. We lost many brilliant stars (I am still mourning Prince), this election season was pretty crazy no matter what side of it you were on, and it just seemed so...long. So join me in saying "Sayonara" to 2016 and let's look forward to great things in the coming year. But first, let's take a look at the top 10 … [Read more...]
One Pot Chicken Veggie Spaghetti
One meal in my house that I make more than any other meal is spaghetti. It's a universal favorite; my kids love it because it's tasty and fun and my husband loves it because he's a creature of comfort. I love it because I know that my family will devour it and ask for more, and it's easy to make! However, instead of preparing the good ol' classic spaghetti I've decided to switch things up a bit with this classic comfort food. While I do love tradition, sometimes I prefer to make some changes and … [Read more...]
Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Wings
We're baaaaccckkkk!!! That's right, friends. This will be the third year in a row that Mandi from Chewsy Lovers and I share all types of flavors of chicken wing recipes every week for at least one month (we've been known to extend this). It's football season and we like variety, so we like to get creative and SHARE! This week for my very first wing recipe for football season of 2016 I made Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Wings. If you've followed along before you know that I like to come up with a wide … [Read more...]
Honey Mustard Crispy Chicken Wrap with Sweet Potato Fries
I love to recreate recipes that are childhood favorites. Most of the kids I know love chicken strips (or nuggets) and fries. It's inevitable! When I was a kid it was also a favorite for me, and I actually know grown adults who will just order chicken strips and fries at every new restaurant they go to. It's just one of those meals that's easy and comforting, so I decided to spruce it up a bit! For this sponsored post I’ll be using the Foster Farms Simply Raised thin-sliced boneless skinless … [Read more...]
Chicken Sausage and Pumpkin Pasta Bake
Special thanks to Sprouts Farmers Market for sponsoring this Chicken Sausage and Pumpkin Pasta Bake recipe and the opportunity for one lucky winner to receive a $25 gift card to Sprouts! It's officially pumpkin season folks! Yes, even though it's still hitting the triple digits here in Northern California the nights are a bit chillier and pretty soon the A/C will be turned off for quite a few months. Pumpkin flavored everything is literally everywhere, even here in my kitchen. My lovely friends … [Read more...]
Sheet Pan Dinner: Chicken, Asparagus, Mushroom and Tomatoes
Today we're going to chat about some good ol' comfort foods. These are the meals you might have grown up with that make you feel good inside. These might be recipes you grew up eating or even things you make that just make you feel warm inside. Recently my husband and I attended an event in San Francisco that celebrated the New Comfort Food and discussed how comfort foods have changed and evolved over the years. It was a fascinating look into culinary trends and I found myself nodding in … [Read more...]
Sweet & Savory Drumsticks
This time of year is a great one to stock up on great sales offered at grocery stores. Between Memorial Day, 4th of July and grilling season, it's a great time to buy up some chicken. I love to get the picnic packs that have a combination of drumsticks and thighs, and right now they're always available at a great price. However, I don't always want to grill. We have a great barbecue grill, but it's a charcoal grill which means it takes some planning to get started. We also live in an are … [Read more...]
Quick & Easy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl
When I first started my little corner on the internet almost 4 years ago, I often shared easy dinners for families. To this date, a few of those are still the recipes that are heavily visited on this site. It's no wonder, no matter how many meals I make or how many recipes I've added to my arsenal, sometimes I'm still clueless of what to make for dinner. Even folks that don't cook at home have a hard time choosing where to eat dinner at, so of course figuring out what to make is always going … [Read more...]
