Delicious Meals Made at Our Home September, 2026

You asked, and I’m happy to share! After posting some of our recent meals on Instagram, I received requests for the recipes, so I decided to gather a few of the most-requested ones here in one delicious place. First up is Frenched Chicken, tender and golden with a buttery white wine, garlic, and lime sauce, followed by a warm Sheet Pan Panzanella loaded with roasted tomatoes, crusty bread, fresh mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, and arugula. I’m also pointing you toward my Shrimp with Peanut Butter Sauce, another recipe you spotted and asked about. I love hearing which dishes catch your eye on Instagram, so please keep those requests coming—there’s a good chance your favorite will become the next recipe I share.

The Frenched Chicken is one of those recipes that feels a little special without requiring an entire afternoon in the kitchen. The lightly battered chicken gets beautifully golden in the skillet, while the white wine, garlic, butter, and fresh lime create a bright, savory pan sauce that tastes far more complicated than it is. Be sure to spoon some of those wonderful pan juices over the chicken before serving—you don't want to leave any of that flavor behind!

We served the chicken with this Sheet Pan Panzanella, hot from the oven, and the two were wonderful together. Traditionally, panzanella is an Italian bread salad made with tomatoes and day-old bread, but this warm sheet-pan version gives it a delicious twist. The bread becomes golden and crisp around the edges while soaking up the juices from the roasted tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and red onion. Then Parmesan, fresh mozzarella, arugula, and basil bring everything together. The flavors just popped in our mouths!

I especially loved the contrast between the two dishes. The rich, garlicky chicken and buttery wine sauce were balanced by the tomatoes, fresh herbs, and splash of red wine vinegar in the panzanella. And don't overlook all those crispy, cheesy bits left on the sheet pan—scrape them right into the salad! Served together, these two recipes make a beautiful dinner that feels company-worthy but is still relaxed enough for an evening at home.

Another requested favorite was my Shrimp with Peanut Butter Sauce. If you've never paired shrimp with a peanut sauce, you're in for a treat. The savory shrimp and creamy, nutty sauce make a wonderfully satisfying combination, and it's a fun change from the more traditional ways we tend to prepare shrimp.
