Eating chicken strips (AKA fingers – which always weirded me out as a name btw) transports me right back to the big chains restaurants of my childhood. Ahhh, the 90s.

Chicken Soup for Cold Season
Anyone else feeling like this cold and flu season has been particularly brutal? Granted, my daughter is spending her first year daycare, too. Also known as the world’s biggest germ factory.

How To: Quickie Meal – Chicken Meatball Banh Mi Bowls
We already have a delicious banh mi recipe on the blog. It’s of the more traditional sandwich variety, but untraditional in that it features tofu instead of meat. If you haven’t made it, you should. This version sticks to the meat, but instead requires a fork for eating rather than your hands. You all know…
