This is my mom’s go-to meal. Growing up, this was what she made on her days off. In Albanian, it is called pul me oriz, which translates to chicken and rice. This is my twist to her original recipe which I find to be a little bland, sorry mom. She boils the chicken and doesn’t use all the seasonings I use; she doesn’t add mushrooms or peppers either. …

Pineapple Chicken
Since I have been on this lighter, less fat diet I have become a little creative with my dinners lately.
I have always enjoyed pineapple with chicken and I usually make this sauce for my chicken balls. I also love my stir fry with chicken, so I combined both dishes into one fabulous dish! …
Chicken Pita Sandwich
I love Chicken Shawarma sandwiches, but if your buying them for a family it can get expensive! My son will get a sandwich once and a while at his favourite Shawarma shop in town. Making it home isn’t quite the same, but its still good!
When you go to a shawarma place, you notice the meat being sliced off like Doner kebab or Gyros meat. You can get beef, lamb or chicken. I love all three, but prefer the chicken. Some places will add french fries in the sandwich while others don’t.
When I was a kid I had a friend who was Lebanese and her mom always added fries in her sandwiches…so I do the same. …

Chicken Drumsticks and Noodles
This is a simple and fast meal, perfect for a dinner for two! My kids wanted tacos for dinner, my mom was over and she is not a big fan of tacos so we made something that was just enough for her and who ever wanted to try some. The seasoning in this is simple and the flavours I grew up with, you can add any spice or seasoning you like….
Roast Chicken and Potatoes
One of our families favourite meal is roast chicken with potatoes! My mom always roasted them together in the same pan, gave so much flavour to the potatoes, I added the garlic which makes it even better!…
Semi- Fried Chicken
I call this chicken semi- fried as I don’t fry it the whole way through. I love the taste of fried chicken….but fried greasy food does not sit well in my tummy. The way I prepare it, the oil is not being soaked up by the chicken, I use just enough oil to lightly brown the skin.
I simply brown the skin so it gets crispy and fried like texture while its baking.
So here goes to make my semi- fried chicken!…
Chicken Pilau
This rice dish is a little spicy, goes great with butter chicken!…
Butter Chicken
Butter chicken is one of my sons favourite dishes, served with fluffy basmati rice on the side and you have an amazing dinner! Over the years I have experimented with the recipe until I found the best way of making it, some hit and misses along the way. I have made it with packaged flavours but they didn’t hit the spot with me.
