This Potato Corn Chowder bursts with the comforting flavors of tender potatoes and sweet corn in a creamy base. It is easy and quick to prepare and a perfect dish for a cold evening or a cozy meal.

This chowder begins with cooking the bacon until crispy. Then it’s time for sautéing onions, garlic, and celery, creating a savory base for the dish. Add diced potatoes, which bring a satisfying, starchy texture that thickens the soup as it cooks. The star ingredient, corn, brings a natural sweetness that beautifully contrasts with the creamy, velvety broth.

This potato corn chowder recipe is versatile, letting you adjust it to suit your tastes, whether you prefer a lighter broth or a thicker, creamier consistency. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers, and enjoy this satisfying soup as a delicious way to savor the simple yet comforting flavors of potatoes and corn.

How to make this easy potato corn chowder

To start, cook diced bacon in a large soup pot over medium-high heat until it’s browned and crispy. Once the bacon is crispy, transfer it to a bowl and set it aside. Leave the rendered fat in the pot for added flavor.

Next, add diced onion and celery to the pot, cooking until softened, which should take about five minutes. This builds a savory base for your chowder. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Now it’s time to add your broth—vegetable or chicken—along with diced potatoes, corn kernels, dried thyme, salt and pepper. If you’re using fresh corn, don’t forget to toss in the cobs for that extra burst of flavor! Cover the pot, bring it to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender, checking occasionally to stir. If you want a creamier chowder, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot as they cook!

After 15 minutes, carefully remove the corn cobs. Now it’s time to add the cream. Gently heat the soup without bringing it to a boil, as boiling can cause the cream to separate. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch more salt or pepper if needed. Remember, the flavors will deepen as they meld together!

Finally, ladle the chowder into bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs and those crispy bacon bits for an extra touch of flavor.

Hope you will try it out and enjoy this warm and hearty dish. It is perfect for chilly days or any time you need a little comfort food.

If you do, share the photos with me on Instagram, would love to see how it turns out for you.

This Chicken Apple Skillet is a flavorful, hearty dish that combines seasoned chicken with the sweet, tangy notes of apples. To prepare, sear boneless chicken breasts or thighs until golden brown, locking in their natural juices. Next, add thinly sliced apples, such as Gala or Honeycrisp, which bring a sweet balance to the savory chicken. A sprinkle of herbs like thyme or rosemary enhances the aroma and adds an earthy note to the dish.

Deglaze the skillet with chicken or vegetable stock and add garlic, honey and apple cider vinegar to create a light, flavorful sauce that ties the ingredients together. As the dish simmers, the sweet and savory flavors meld into a delicious harmony, with the apples softening just enough to complement the tender chicken.

Serve this chicken apple skillet over mashed potatoes, rice, or alongside roasted vegetables for a comforting, satisfying meal. With its simple preparation and perfectly balanced flavors, this dish makes an excellent choice for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special autumn meal.

How to make Chicken Apple Skillet

To start, cut your chicken breast into even ¾ inch or 2 cm strips, ensuring uniform size so they cook evenly. 

Next, season the chicken generously with salt and pepper on both sides and sprinkle with dried thyme or rosemary.

Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring the pan is hot before adding the chicken. Place the seasoned chicken strips in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, so the chicken sears properly. Cook the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, allowing it to develop a golden brown crust while locking in the juices. You’ll know the chicken is ready to flip when it easily releases from the pan. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate.

How to prepare the apples and the sauce

In the same skillet, add your apple slices, making sure they’re spread out in an even layer to ensure proper caramelization. Cook the apples for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, turning them carefully once they soften and begin to brown.

I’ve used Gala apples for their natural sweetness and firm texture, but Honeycrisp apples or Granny Smith apples will be as good. Feel free to choose the variety that best suits your taste.

Next, stir in finely minced garlic and pour in your chicken or vegetable stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits that have stuck to the bottom. Add honey, butter and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, allowing all the flavors to meld together. As it cooks, the sauce will reduce slightly, filling the kitchen with a delightful sweet and savory aroma.

Once the sauce is ready, return the chicken to the skillet, making sure each piece is tossed and coated in the flavorful mixture. Allow the chicken to warm through and absorb some of the sauce, creating a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors.

For a final touch, garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme. Serve your chicken apple skillet alongside creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or crusty bread to soak up every last bit of that delicious sauce.

And there you have it, a simple yet flavorful Chicken Apple Skillet, perfect for any occasion. Hope you will try it out and enjoy it as much as we did. If you do, don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how it turns out for you.

These Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins are a delightful and healthy treat, perfect for any time of the day. These muffins blend the natural sweetness of ripe bananas and honey with the moisture of grated zucchini, creating a soft and tender texture.

The mashed bananas are providing a base of flavor and moisture, complemented by finely shredded zucchini, which adds a subtle earthiness and keeps the muffins incredibly tender. Instead of using refined sugar, the muffins are sweetened with honey, which enhances the flavors and adds a touch of warmth. A hint of cinnamon add a touch of spice. Dark chocolate chips are mixed into the batter, melting into delicious pockets of sweetness with every bite.

Baked to golden perfection, these muffins have a fluffy interior and a slightly crisp top. They are a great way to enjoy a tasty treat while sneaking in some vegetables. Enjoy these Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins warm from the oven or as a snack on the go.

How to make Banana Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a 12-cavity muffin pan with paper liners. Grate the zucchini using the small holes of a grater, sprinkle salt over the grated zucchini, and let them sit for 3-5 minutes. Transfer the zucchini to a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then set aside.

In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine. Stir in the oil until fully incorporated. Next, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon, and mix until just combined.

Gently fold in the squeezed zucchini and chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix the batter. Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top.

Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown. Let them cool slightly before enjoying these delicious and moist treats! If you try them out, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how they turn out for you.

These Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips are a delightful and healthy appetizer or snack option, perfect for satisfying your crunchy cravings. Enjoy these zucchini chips on their own, or pair them with your favorite dip for an extra treat. They are a delicious way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet without compromising on flavor or texture.

These chips begin with fresh zucchini, sliced into thin rounds to ensure an even, crispy texture. Each slice is first dredged in flour, which helps the next layers adhere better, creating a perfect base for that extra crunch. Following the flour coating, the zucchini slices are dipped into beaten eggs and then coated into a breadcrumb and cornmeal mixture.

The combination of breadcrumbs and cornmeal is enhanced with a touch of oregano and a pinch of salt, adding a burst of flavor and a satisfying crunch with every bite. Once the zucchini slices are thoroughly coated, they are arranged in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring even cooking.

 Baking these chips in the oven not only makes them healthier than their fried counterparts but also allows the zucchini to cook through while the exterior becomes perfectly golden and crispy. 

Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips with Tzatziki Sauce

How to make crispy baked zucchini chips

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with oil and set it aside. Next, cut the zucchini into ¼ inch (6mm) thick rounds and sprinkle them with salt. Allow the slices to sit for 5 minutes to draw out moisture.

In the meantime, beat the eggs in a deep plate. Prepare another plate with flour, and a third plate with a mixture of breadcrumbs, cornmeal, salt, and oregano.

Take each zucchini slice, dredge it in flour, dip it into the beaten egg, and coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them with olive oil and bake for 17-20 minutes until golden and crispy.

Serve immediately with Greek Tzatziki Sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Hope you will try these amazing baked zucchini chips. If you do, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how they turned out for you. Enjoy!

I love this Greek Salad, known as Horiatiki in Greece as it bursts with fresh flavors and vibrant colors. This salad, a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, highlights simplicity and quality ingredients. It’s a perfect appetizer or side dish, but it can also stand alone as a light, refreshing meal. This salad offers a delightful combination of textures and tastes, from the juicy tomatoes to the creamy feta. Every time we visit Greece, we enjoy serving this salad at their local tavernas near the sea.

Start with ripe tomatoes, sliced into juicy wedges. Combine them with crisp cucumber slices, green pepper slices and thinly sliced red onions that are offering a satisfying crunch. Add Kalamata olives to provide a briny contrast. Top with creamy block of feta cheese that is rich and slightly tangy. Sprinkle the salad with dried oregano for a touch of earthy aroma.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil generously over the salad. Season lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, letting the natural flavors shine.

Greek salad not only delights with it refreshing flavor but also brings a piece of sunny Greece to your table. Enjoy it with crusty bread or alongside grilled meats for a complete Mediterranean experience.

How to make Greek salad

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and the cucumber into thick moon slices. Thinly slice the red onion into rings and slice the green pepper. Add all the cut vegetables into a salad bowl along with the olives.

Season the salad with salt, pepper and a sprinkle of oregano. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar over the vegetables, then toss everything together until well coated.

Top the salad with a block of feta cheese. Drizzle the feta with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano for extra flavor.

This vibrant and fresh Greek salad is ready to serve. Hope you will try this refreshing salad. If you do, don’t forget to tag me in your Instagram posts or stories, so I can see your amazing results. Enjoy every bite!

These Chicken Patties are a versatile and delicious dish, that is easy to prepare and perfect for any time of the day. For these patties, I use ground chicken meat but ground turkey will be as good. I like to season them with a blend of spices and herbs to create a savory and satisfying flavor. To enhance the texture and taste I like to combine the chicken with breadcrumbs, onions, garlic and vegetables like carrots or potatoes.

We like to shape the mixture into round, flat discs and cook them in various ways, including pan-frying or baking. As a leaner alternative to beef patties, these chicken patties provide a healthier choice for those mindful of their dietary intake.

You can serve chicken patties in multiple ways, as a classic sandwich on a bun with lettuce and tomatoes, in a wrap, as a protein-rich topping for salads, or as an appetizer alongside your favorite dipping sauces. 

These chicken patties will surely become a family favorite and a staple in many households.

How to make chicken patties

To make these delicious chicken patties, begin by placing ground meat into a large bowl and adding finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, two eggs, grated potato and carrot, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Next, mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to ensure the patties stay tender.

How to pan-fry chicken patties

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Take spoonfuls of the chicken mixture, flatten them slightly, and transfer to the hot skillet. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on one side until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side. Transfer the patties to paper towels to drain any excess oil.

How to bake chicken patties

For baking, preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the patties on the lined baking sheet and lightly spray them with olive oil. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the patties are golden brown and fully cooked through.

Serve these versatile chicken patties as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce, or pair them with your preferred side dishes for a complete meal. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.

Hope you will try these delightful chicken patties. If you do, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Enjoy these flavorful and easy-to-make chicken patties at any meal!
