Honey-Mustard BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

We needed something quick and easy to eat (since I am having a root canal Wednesday, I can’t eat too many things). This was *very* good! We’ll probably make it again on our vacation next month.

1 1/2 cups bottle BBQ sauce – basically a whole bottle (I used [...]

My chicken salad experiment

Every once in a while, we will have potlucks at work. Mainly because all we do at work is talk about food and new recipes, etc. – and it’s always healthy stuff (ha). I signed up to make chicken salad, originally thinking I would just go to Costco and get the best chicken salad ever [...]

Pizza Casserole

My sister makes this all the time, so I decided to give it a shot last night. It did not disappoint! I believe it is 6 WW points per serving (of course, you could probably make it healthier or less healthy if you wanted to). Kevin wants to make a BBQ Chicken Pizza Casserole next. [...]

Chicken Pie

Sounds kinda gross, right? It isn’t pretty, and it’s REALLY not healthy, but it is SO so tasty. I found this recipe in Trisha Yearwood’s cookbook (her cookbook reminded me a LOT of Paula Deen’s books), and it is a definite keeper. It’s almost like chicken and dumplings, but easier!
It didn’t set up like I [...]

Chicken Paprikash

I can’t help but think of Billy Crystal when I hear the word “paprikash”.

Beer Bread!

One of my employees brought in a loaf of this bread the other night fresh out of the oven. Oh my goodness. It totally made my day.
Apparently this “recipe” has been around for a while, because I was telling my grandmother about it today and she said they used to call it “Indian Bread”. Not [...]

Ground Turkey Casserole

My goal this week is to eat at home every night – last week we ate dinner out EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. That is unusual for us, and we can both tell by the way our clothes aren’t fitting *quite* as loosely as they were before.
While this casserole isn’t necessarily “healthy” it could certainly be worse. [...]

By popular demand, a repost.

I used strawberry pie filling for Valentine’s Day, but I still like the blueberry better. I think cherries would be the best, but someone in my house doesn’t like cherry stuff – and that someone is NOT me. I love cherries.
Blueberry Pie Dessert
CRUST:
1 1/2 tubes of Ritz crackers, crushed
1/3 cup sugar
1 stick butter, melted
Preheat oven [...]

Easy Barbecue Crispy Chicken Melts

I came across this recipe while I was looking for something to make for dinner that didn’t involve a trip to the store. It turned out really well, my husband actually did all of the cooking and I have included his notes at the end of the recipe. (Yeah, we’re nerds, we make notes on [...]

Brownie Pudding

My aunt has been making this as long as I can remember – it’s comfort food to me. It’s easy, and I almost always have the ingredients on hand, so that makes it even better! It looks nasty when you put it in the oven, but it comes out fine and is best served warm [...]
