Good Eats Friday: Recipes for chicken, french toast, and squares

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Recipes and Food

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a Good Eats post. But I’m back, and hungrier than ever! These recipes are the ones that caught my eye this week:

First up: this recipe for Roasted Coconut Lime Thai Chicken from A Pretty Life. I’ve been in a chicken rut, and I think this looks like the perfect antidote.

And because I love breakfast – for breakfast, lunch and dinner – maybe I’ll whip up some of this super decadent french toast from Life in Pleasantville on Sunday:

And since we’re not counting calories here, I spied these Peanut Butter Crispy squares from Ottawa Valley Moms and there was no question about sharing it here this week:

What good things have you been cooking up lately? I’d love to see!

We made these this week:

I usually add muchrooms to the meat mixture and we don’t make the cheese sauce. They make great leftovers for the lunch bag as well. We almost always serve them with salad or cut veggies.

My pleasure Andrea – they are fast and really yummy. The pastry is not heavy and I often eat them at room temperature the next day for lunch.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
