The season 2 finale of Married and Hungry premiered this week, and the star of the show was this Arroz con Pollo. It is one of the recipes I make way too often, and yet I never get bored of it. It’s a one-skillet marvel, packed with a ton of flavor. Chicken cooked with rice in a saffron and white wine sauce, studded with olives, pimentos and green peas. Once you try it for yourself, you’ll want to make it again and again. It’s a great dish to keep up your sleeve though because it’s sure to impress everyone you make it for. Speaking of wine, this post and the season finale is in partnership with my friends over at Winc. For those of you not familiar, Winc is more than a monthly wine club. They’re a modern wine brand delivering fun and engaging wine experiences in every box. And the best part is that Winc is giving Candid Appetite readers $22 off your first four bottles of wine, plus complimentary shipping (that’s 4 bottles of wine for $40)!

Sometimes we’re all in dire need of comfort food. Whether that means a big bowl of chili, a couple slices of pizza, or several servings of cheesy homemade mac and cheese. Comfort food is whatever makes us happy. Whatever brings us back home and gives us that warm fuzzy feeling inside. I love that food has the power to make us feel those emotions, whether they’re happy or sad; hopefully it’s always happy though. When I think of comfort food, I usually crave either 
As someone who is constantly and consistently surrounded by food day in and day out, I often get asked what my favorite dish is, or what’s the cuisine I can’t live without? I’ve always hated answering this question because it’s one of life’s hardest questions to answer; Spoiler Alert: I don’t think I can ever truthfully answer. It’s very hard to pinpoint one dish or cuisine to call my all-time favorite because I happen to have an ongoing love affair with food. I don’t want to say that everything is my favorite because let’s be honest that’s a bit of a cop out. What I will say however, is that my mood changes from week to week. One thing is certain though, Indian food happens to be my favorite type of cuisine…right now. Whenever I don’t feel like cooking and Jules and I decide to order take out, it’s always for something that I don’t really cook at home myself. So it’ll typically be Asian or Indian food. With that being said, our local Indian restaurant on speed dial and the one dish we always get is tikka masala which is pretty basic but I love it either way. Last week we ordered some and I got the sudden urge to make it at home but with chicken meatballs. I thought it was the most clever thing I’ve come up with recently, and so here we are. Chicken Meatball Tikka Masala is your new favorite weeknight meal. 
I’m a huge fan of orange chicken, primarily because it bills itself as a Chinese restaurant staple, but it’s really not all that authentic to begin with, and was actually invented in Hawaii at a Panda Express, or at least that’s what the internet tells me and as I’ve heard before, you have to believe everything that’s on the internet. I love this dish so much that I even turned it into a delicious Orange Chicken Slider in
