Pressure Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken

When I have long days at the hospital, I find it’s most convenient to cook in large batches, freeze half and eat the other half throughout the week. That way when I get home I can get a work out in, spend some time reading or catch up on some TV or news. Then if…

Shish Kebabs & Greek Salad

While we all love comfort food like lasagna, I typically reserve those dishes for the winter months. When the days are long and the sun stays out late, I usually gravitate toward bright and fresh flavors. Georgetown’s medical students have been working hard in their culinary medicine elective and it has inspired me to add…

Chili Chicken Tortilla Soup

The King’s Chicken Pesto Sandwich

Hello, from Hershey, Pennsylvania! Land of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Kisses, and the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. I am currently in my first week as a visiting student at the Penn State-affiliated hospital. However, this is not my first time visiting “The Sweetest Place On Earth.” As a child, whenever we flew “back East” (as…

David’s Chicken Paprikash with The Rheinlander’s Spätzle

This is kind of a 2-for-1 recipe post. Chicken paprikash is another dish that David introduced to me early in our relationship. It has quickly become one of my go-to recipes for its ease and amazing flavor. As you might imagine, paprika is the main ingredient in this dish. Paprika originated in Central Mexico and…

The King’s Chilaquiles

My third year of medical school has flown by! We finished all of our rotations in the core clerkships: Internal Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Pediatrics. While our third year far surpassed first and second year, it did not leave a lot of time for blogging. I am just now entering my…

The King’s Chili Chicken Tacos

Tuesdays can be pretty crummy. It’s still the beginning of the week and you have a ways to go until Friday. However, Tuesday is redeemed when it is Taco Tuesday! I first started celebrating Taco Tuesdays when I was living in San Diego. I always looked forward to going to a different taco stand or…

The King’s Butter Chicken

While home from medical school for the holidays, I decided that I wanted to try a new recipe for the family to try. Toward the end of the last semester, some of my classmates and I went out for a night of Indian food, followed by ice cream made with liquid nitrogen. At the Indian…

Tikka Masala Meatballs

Medical school has kept me extremely busy! However, I’m still making time to cook regularly. The last few months have also been huge in making adjustments to my diet and exercise regimen. After losing 30 pounds, I’m back down to my ideal weight and am enjoying a healthy mixture of delicious food and exercise. I finally…

Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers

Wow! Sorry to keep you all hanging for so long! It has been over a year since my last post. A lot has changed since then. I now have an amazing boyfriend who also enjoys cooking and has introduced me to several new recipes. I also recently moved from America’s Finest City. I am happy…

Chicken al Mattone

After a long and arduous hiatus, full of studying for the MCAT and, well, still more MCAT studying, I’m back with a stockpile of photos and recipes I have been trying to share with you all. I came across this recipe in an issue of Bon Appetit, as I was waiting in the checkout line of the…

Mom’s Chicken Pot Non-Pie

A warm, hearty meal is quintessential for the bleak midwinter. When I think of comfort food, chicken pot pie is one dish that tends to comes to mind. There are many variations of this savory pie with a variety of vegetables for the filling and crusts of all shapes and sizes to be filled. However,…
