Easy Creamy Chicken
Total Views: 736 LittleB
We are all looking for quick and easy weeknight meals, right? I am always finding it difficult to come up with new ideas for chicken, but to have a quick chicken dinner is ideal. This one fits the bill - easy, quick and best of all it's delicious! I served it with a side salad, but you could put this over some pasta, or pair it with a baked potato and veggies. Whatever you serve it with, just try it...you will not be disappointed!Easy Creamy Chicken2 large chicken breasts...
Beef Brisket

Pulled pork is one of my favorite things to cook for a crowd, especially in the summer for some reason. I love that it can feed so many people, yet is so easy to cook. It was this thought that led me to try my hand at cooking a beef brisket recently. I wanted to make something that I could use for several different meals, and since I've never made it before, I was excited to give it a try.This worked out really well, and I was able to use the meat for several different dishes.&...

I decided to challenge myself by entering a recipe contest (you can click on this link to see the contest https://www.facebook.com/FoodieBlogroll/app_451684954848385). They gave us three ingredients that had to be in the recipe - chocolate, cinnamon and strawberries. I am not a big fan of chocolate, but who can resist a thick gooey brownie with some vanilla ice cream? Even I love the combination, and it's even better with a drizzle of caramel sauce. These were the th...

We had a slumber party last night with three of the grand-kids! I love when they come over, mostly because I just love them, but also because it gives me a chance to make something yummy. Making treats for them gives me great pleasure!This time I decided to try something new. I received the Smitten Kitchen cookbook about a year ago, but haven't tried much from it. I pulled it out the other day and was thumbing through it when I came across this recipe for gooey cinnamon s...

Hello and happy May everyone! My son-in-law got my computer up and running - yay!!!! You don't realize how much you rely on technology until you don't have it anymore. Although, other than not being able to work on this blog, I didn't really miss it too much. In fact, it was kinda of nice to not be so
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Once in a while my lovely husband will suggest I make something in particular. Over the years he has mentioned how much he loved his mother's stuffed cabbage rolls, and I would make a mental note to try making them sometime in the future but would eventually forget about it. I had never even tried a stuffed cabbage roll, so the prospect of making something I've never actually tasted before is a little daunting. I mean, if you've never tried it how are you supposed to know what ...
Apple Dump Cake

I will admit that I am pretty much a cake mix food snob. I just don't use them. I much prefer to make cakes from scratch, especially icing/frosting, because the flavor is just so much better. The icing/frosting you buy in those containers at the store actually taste like plastic to me, yuck! However, I know not everyone has the time or ability to make a cake and icing from scratch, so I'm not judging. Over the years I've come across several recipes for
Thai Veggie Salad

If you don't like Thai food or peanuts, this is not the salad for you! I happen to enjoy both. As much as I love regular salad for lunch, having it every day can get a little mundane. So once in a while I like to switch things up a little. This is what I came up with recently when I found myself in a lunchtime salad rut. Not only is this supper tasty, but it's also great for those looking for a meatless lunch/dinner option. Veggies + protein + tons of flavor = ...

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone! Hope you will have nice weather and get to enjoy some good times with family and friends. We started our weekend with two of the grandkids spending the night, which is always a delight. I just love cooking for company, even the little ones!I actually made this lemon meringue pie for Easter as a treat for my husband and son. They both have mentioned to me on several occasions how much they like it, but I politely ignored them for a long time....
