This is a wonderful dish, so tasty and easy to make… I used to order a very similar dish from a local Chinese restaurant, but now that I know how to prepare it I’ll be making it at home all the time!

You can use whatever fresh veggies you have on hand, frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, peppers, corn, etc) or mushrooms… they all work great with this recipe.

I love caramel popcorn, so when I found this recipe I naturally had to try it. I must say I was NOT disappointed by the result… this is a wonderful recipe!! The only problem I had with it is that it was so delicious that I ate almost 3 servings all by myself!

You can store this in an airtight container for up to 1 week, but if you’re like me, it won’t last that long.

Here’s a flavorful recipe inspired by cajun cooking. These kebabs are perfect when you want to prepare something tasty, but don’t have a lot of time. You can try experimenting with the spice combination, but in my opinion it balances well the heat with the oregano and thyme.

When you thread the chicken and squash, make sure that you leave some space around the meat so that it cooks evenly. Of course, you can try adding different vegetables to these kebabs (like peppers, tomatoes or onions), according to your taste.
