Saucy Wings, Two Ways

Well guys, two of my football teams lost this weekend and I’m about to throw up my hands and give up on the Super Bowl.

I mean really, the Saints and Packers couldn’t pull it off, and as much as I normally cheer for the underdogs I have “connections” to those other two teams and, well, they just didn’t win.  That leaves one more chance with the Patriots or else I’ll just bury myself in the inevitable mountain of Super Bowl food and live for the commercials like I did once upon 2 years ago.

 

I thought things had changed!  Turns out I’m kind of a bad sport when my team loses.  And now commence the pouting.

However, speaking of Super Bowl food, I feel the need to share that last Super Bowl?  Was probably the worst Super Bowl ever.  Not because of the teams…no, I was so happy to see the Packers win.  And not because of the food…no, we had the staple queso dip and let’s face it – if queso’s involved I’m fine.  I’m easy in regards to party food.

 

No, it was the worst because Nate and I both had the flu and could hardly keep our eyes open to watch the game.  There we sat, 100+ temperatures and all, trying to act like it was any normal Super Bowl Sunday.  Worst.Super.Bowl.Ever.

I’d like to stop there and say that I got my flu shot this year though, so things are looking up already.  Well, that and the fact that I’ve now added wings to my football party repertoire.  Two different wings too!

 

Two!

I’m a big fan of the sweet and savory combination, so the first set of wings is a Chili Honey Glaze with green onions and tons of flavor.  And I’m always a big sucker for the traditional wings, but with a little more flavor, a little extra love if you will.  Enter grated garlic, Italian seasoning, and a big sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

 

Hey, we baked the wings and Super Bowl Sunday happens once a year.  Wings and queso for everyone!

BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

  • 1 bag frozen chicken wings (you want them to not be cooked or breaded or fried)
  • 1 quart buttermilk
  • salt and pepper

Overnight toss the frozen wings into a very large bowl with the buttermilk, making sure you can get all, if not most of them, covered in it.  Cover with plastic wrap and set on the bottom shelf of your fridge to thaw overnight.  When they’re thawed it’s time to set up the wing baking apparatus.  First preheat your oven to 375 for convection ovens or 400 for normal ovens.  For this you’ll need a very large sheet pan and a baking rack.  Cover the baking sheet in foil (trust me, you want to do this…easier clean-up).  Place the baking rack in the pan and spray very liberally with cooking spray.  Pull the thawed wings out of the buttermilk mixture.  Do not rinse them off.  Place the wings on the baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.  Wash your hands and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.  Bake for 25-30 minutes at the correct temperature for your oven, carefully turning with tongs halfway through.  This will give you a nice crispy skin on the wings with no frying, and super tender meat from the buttermilk bath.  And now it’s time to sauce them!

CHILI HONEY GLAZED WINGS WITH GREEN ONIONS

  • 1/4 cup Sriracha
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 green onion, chopped finely

In a saucepan stir together all ingredients, reserving a few green onions, and bring to a light simmer.  Toss with warm wings (it covers around 12-15 wings well) and serve hot with a sprinkling of extra green onions.  A side note with these:  if you don’t love spicy then reduce the amount of Sriracha OR increase the amount of honey.  I like the spice, so I used a little more than the 1/4 cup of Sriracha and thought they were to die for.

 

GARLICKY PARMESAN HOT SAUCE

  • 1/4 cup Frank’s Red Hot sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated on a microplane
  • 1-2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan

Same as before, stir together all ingredients, minus the cheese, in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.  Douse your hot prepared wings in it and sprinkle immediately with Parmesan cheese.  A side note with these:  like more garlic?  Then we’d probably be besties and I think you should totally grate another clove or 80 in there.  Need more spice?  Use a spicier hot sauce!  I won’t judge 🙂

Here’s to another chance at Super Bowl fun this year.  You know, as long as my team wins 😉

    My brother-in-law caught sight of the Frank’s red hot bottle over my shoulder as I read and insisted I email him the link. He says anything with Frank’s is gourmet in his book!

    What a great way to bake wings – wouldn’t have thought to use buttermilk. The Chili Honey Glazed sauce sounds especially tempting.

    The super bowl and I have a love hate relationship. I love the food, but I hate that no one wants to spend my birthday eating ridiculous amounts of calories with me because they’re saving them for the bowl. Boo. Well, more wings for me! When I don’t care about either team in the game, I skip the game completely (DVRed for commecials) and go eat somewhere that’s normally impossible to get into.

    I was sad that the Saints and the Packers lost yesterday, too! However, my state team, the Baltimore Ravens, won their game against the Texans. Next weekend they play the Patriots, who I normally root for when the Ravens are playing against them. That said, I will be seriously rooting for the Ravens next weekend…sorry, Heather! 🙂

    Funny to see the 2nd wing today…. Just had my first wing with parmesan on it last night at our local wild wing cafe… I really liked the addition.

    You know…I just can’t do wings. I have some weird issue about eating saucy foods with my hands. But maybe I could eat these with a knife and fork? 🙂

    I would be all over the garlicky parmesan wings! I work in advertising so I pretty much have to obsess about the Super Bowl commercials. I admit that – and the food – is my favorite part about the Super Bowl! And Tom Brady 🙂

    The Packers game was just painful yesterday. Very reminiscent of Wisconsin’s Rose Bowl performance this year.

    What is your Wisconsin/Packers connection?

Just a couple quick reminders: ⭐️ healthy doe Just a couple quick reminders:

⭐️ healthy doesn’t have to be hard
⭐️ you’re allowed to “mess up”
⭐️ you’re allowed to be multidimensional
⭐️ don’t overcomplicate it 
⭐️ YOU ARE CAPABLE 

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my head these days, and half the time I don’t know which way is up. But I do know this: focusing on simplicity is the name of the game this year for me. It starts with the things I can control: my food intake, moving my body, my thoughts, my actions. The rest will stem from there!

Does anyone even do a word of the year anymore after 2020? If you do I’d love to see you share it below!
“I’m angry with God.” With those 4 words my “I’m angry with God.”

With those 4 words my Daddy forever changed the way I saw God. A pillar of fire didn’t come from the sky, the ground didn’t open up and swallow him whole, we didn’t get in a car wreck on the way home from piano lessons. And my Daddy never turned his heart from God; a short 20 minutes later we sat down at the dinner table and he praised him through prayer before we ate dinner. 

He taught me that when we are sad or frustrated or anxious or angry or feel that surely the weight of life will kill us - God is big enough to handle those feelings. Not just handle them, but walk closer than our breath through them. He cares, he’s there, and he even wants us to tell him. The more I think about it the more I see that my dad sharing his anger with God was the most honest display of faith I had seen up to that point.

The other day I uttered those same words in front of my boys, “I’m angry with God.” Just like me, they looked around to see where my smiting would come from, likely shocked (as I was) when it didn’t come. And just like me, they will see their parent praise God even in the midst of a firestorm of emotion. 

Why? Because God is good no matter what. My life feels like it’s crumbling before my eyes and I have no way of stopping it...but He is still on his throne. I will praise him no matter the circumstances because he has been good to me. I will write his word on my windows as a constant reminder that this life of mine is dedicated to his glory.
For someone who loves words so much, I really don' For someone who loves words so much, I really don't have many of them right now. 
.
On December 26, 2020 - after over a decade of fighting Corticobasal Degeneration, a rare progressive neurological disorder - my incredible, near-perfect Daddy left this world and has made his home with Jesus. Ever since then I've been struggling to find the words to pay homage to the most amazing man in the world. How do you sum up the life of someone who has impacted so many for good? How do I ever share how the little day-to-day expressions, smiles, words, wit, strength, grit, grace, humility, hard work and love have been woven into my very being? One of the last things I told him before he left was that there truly are no words yet for the kind of love he shared with me, my sister, and our beautiful mother. He was truly one-of-a-kind in every way, and we are so blessed because of the way he poured himself out for us. 
.
Daddy, I love you so much. The only thing that's softening the pain of your absence is knowing that those very last words I said to you - "I'll see you soon" - will come true because I know you'll be waiting for me in Heaven. My very own Daddy - you are always with me. I love you beyond words.
Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
