Want to know something? I prepared that dish in under half an hour! If you missed yesterday’s post, where I discussed Dr_Mom’s Moroccan Chicken with Green Olives and Lemons, then it’s a good thing you stopped by today. Everything I said about the recipe yesterday still holds true today: the aroma of this dish is heavenly!

If you don’t have time to stand in front of the stove all evening, think about preparing the sauce in advance then cooking the chicken in the crock pot with the sauce a little later. I was curious to see how the dish would come out if I baked it. So that’s exactly what I did. I snapped the photo before popping the cast iron pan in the oven, then I covered it with foil and baked it at 350 for about an hour and 15 minutes.

What else did I do differently? Not much, because this recipe works as is. I did add a little bit of honey and also thickened the sauce by reducing it and adding a bit of potato flour. The end result? A slightly sweet and savory dish with so much flavor, you can serve it over a bed of plain white rice and still feel like you’re enjoying a fancy meal… without the headache of having to prepare a complicated recipe. Simple and delicious!

For the Love of Cooking, also known as Pam from For the Love of Cooking, never ceases to amaze us with the delicious and healthy recipes she posts on her blog. Whether you want something simple, comforting, or even healthy, Pam has what you’re looking for.

Her recipes are family friendly, too. Though I’m fond of the professional looking photos she features along with her recipes, I’m also impressed by her ability to make even the most seemingly difficult recipes look like they’re the kind of stress-free mid-week meals we want to prepare.

Now I’ll let the recipes speak for themselves. Her Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos with Mango and Black Bean Salsa is the meal to make before the summer ends, so many fresh ingredients and flavors.

How about the comfort food I was talking about? Who doesn’t love a Chicken Pot Pie like this one? A true classic, like grandma would make, but now you can make it too! And guess what? You don’t have to go to another site to find a pie crust recipe, because Pam provides the recipe for the crust and the filling. She even photographs all of the ingredients you’ll need to make it!

Let’s end this post on a sweet note. Check out Pam’s Crispy Crackling Cookies, these cereal packed cookies are perfect for dipping in milk. What makes them crackle, you’ll just have to visit her blog to find out :)!
