The Kitchen Wife here and I have a GREAT recipe for you today, Oven Chicken Fajitas.

November is officially upon us, and the holiday season is here! What does that mean you ask?

My easy Oven Chicken Fajitas are the perfect meal for those crazy weeknights. I can't wait to share it with you so...

Homemade Montreal Seasoning

Hey y'all! Mandee from The Kitchen Wife here, and like you I am well into the summer grilling season! There's nothing like the smell of great BBQ wafting through the air. All of those aromatic rubs and seasonings making our tummies long for the charred goodness. There are endless options for marinades and spice blends in your local supermarket, but they can get a little pricey. However, did you know that it's super easy to make your own at home? YES! With a few simple ingredients that many of you will already have in your pantry, you can have loads of delectable spice blends at your finger tips! For today, let me share with you one of the most popular blends, my Homemade Montreal Seasoning.

This classic Montreal Seasoning blend adds one heck-of-a flavor punch to any dish, and I know you're gonna love it, so...

Let's Get Started!

Chicken Pesto Pasta Salad Recipe

Hey Y'all! It's Mandee from The Kitchen Wife! Here in West Virginia, we are finally embarking on warm weather! I love this time of year. Why? Because this is the time of year where the meals get lighter, and the ingredients get fresher. A perfect example of this is my Chicken Pesto Pasta Salad.

Packed full of savory chicken and fresh veggies, this Chicken Pesto Pasta Salad is the perfect summertime meal, ready in 20 minutes! I can't wait to share it with you so let's get started!

Grilled Lemon Chicken and Asparagus Skewers

Spring is here and it is finally warm enough to fire up the grill! I love cooking outside and I especially love skewers/kabobs since they are so easy to eat and cook so quickly. Today I am teaming up with Foster Farms in order to share this wonderful fresh spring kabob recipe using Foster Farms Organic Chicken and locally farmed organic produce.

Don't forget to follow Foster Farms on Facebook for news, recipes, and more. You can also click here for a money-saving coupon on their organic chicken!

My family actually raved about these Lemon Chicken and Asparagus skewers. The kids love eating anything off a stick, and my husband actually complimented me on the asparagus-lemon flavor profile. (Not something that happens very frequently at our house!)

Plus the recipe is a favorite of mine because it is made on the grill (NO DISHES!) and I even marinate the chicken in a bag so, aside from the cutting board, the clean-up is virtually nothing.

And the best part? The recipe only has 4 ingredients!

Organic vs. Conventional Chicken: Is it really worth it?

If you have been a long time reader of my blog, you may have figured out that I have a pretty great relationship with Foster Farms. They are the the West Coast’s leading producer of Organic Chicken raised without antibiotics or GMOs and the brand of chicken I EXCLUSIVELY buy for my family. I’ve created nearly a half dozen recipes on their behalf and I honestly love ALL of their products. So when they asked me if I would be willing to blog about their line of Certified Organic chicken, of course I immediately said ‘sure!’

You may or my not know that before my career as a DIY blogger and stay at home mom I actually was a research scientist with a bachelor's degree in Meat and Animal Science (Yes! That is a real thing!) I spent more than 15 years at the lab bench and working hands on with poultry and livestock (I spent a few of my college summers in poultry barns and hatcheries). I also completed coursework in Agricultural Biotechnology right here in the state of California so I am suprisingly qualified to speak about the differences between conventional and organic chicken.

Of course, I am going to cut right to the chase and answer the question that everyone wants to know:

Is Foster Farms certified organic chicken really worth it?
