Today’s recipe is another one of those that I have been meaning to post for ages but have been inadvertently withholding (similar to my favorite berry crumble). When I sit down and meal plan every week or so, more often than not this kale hash makes an appearance as a weekend breakfast. Not only is it relatively easy to make, it’s incredibly filling and just one batch carries my husband and I through the entire weekend. A win, win, win, right?
When it comes to chicken entrees we have a clear fan favorite in our house. It combines juicy chicken breasts, fresh vegetables and…drumroll please…HUMMUS! When I first stumbled across this recipe for hummus covered chicken on Pinterest I was a bit skeptical. It seemed like a strange combination of flavors that could easily go awry. However one quick look at the original recipe on Ali’s gorgeous site, Gimme Some Oven, convinced me that it was worth testing out because that woman KNOWS HER STUFF. This recipe is 100% Ali’s, I simply want to share it with all of you because it has become a staple in our household and is too delicious to keep to ourselves!
While the amazingly flavorful end result makes this a win in my book, perhaps the best part about this recipe is that it is exceedingly quick and easy to prepare. And guess what? You’re only dirtying one baking dish and one bowl when you make it so clean up is a breeze!

If you guys are fans of hummus I highly, HIGHLY recommend giving this recipe a try. I promise you will not be disappointed!
Dinner is served!
Bon appetit!

Ali uses one medium chopped onion in her recipe. Somebody around here doesn't like onions so I leave it out and it still tastes delicious.
When looking for recipes I search out those that are healthy, don’t use too many ingredients and are simple to make. I’d love to have the time and budget to prepare extravagant meals every night, but since that isn’t possible at the moment I try to make sure what we eat is great tasting and good for us. This veggie quinoa bowl checks all the boxes. It is comprised of just four healthy base ingredients and I can prepare it quickly after a long day at work.
I found the basis of this recipe at Reclaiming Provincial and made a few modifications. The original recipe was geared towards more of a meal you would eat for breakfast and we generally eat my version for dinner. To make it more dinner friendly and heartier, I added in extra eggs as well as additional broccoli and mushrooms so it is more filling.
It may not be the prettiest to look at, but it always hits the spot and, as you will see, is one of Puggle Chef’s favorite meals to help prepare because she loves to snack on broccoli! She has become quite the little sous chef and hangs out in the kitchen with every night me while I cook dinner. She’s quite helpful, in fact if water is about to boil over and I’m looking away she alerts me to it. She’s too cute!
