We have been eating tons of chicken breasts lately. Our local grocery store had them on sale for $1.49 a pound for skinless, boneless breasts. So of course I bought 30 pounds. That price is unheard of around here. Usually I can get them for $2.29 a pound on sale and once in a while…

Chicken and Broccoli
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent the day just the way we intended. We watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time in 3-4 years. We played Scattergories and laughed until our sides hurt. We napped. We made a simple dinner, together. We truly enjoyed just the four of us…
Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
Before the holidays things seem to get so hectic. We are trying to fit 1,000 things into the space of 250. I am always searching for tasty, easy meals that I can get on the table quickly and that my family will actually eat. I tried this meal the other night and it was on…
Loaded Potato and Buffalo Chicken Casserole
This recipe has been posted all over Facebook and Pinterest lately. I noticed it about a year ago but since it made a resurgence lately I decided now was the time to give it a try. When I looked at the recipe I noticed that it was made with olive oil. Olive oil has a…
Entertaining with Chik-fil-A: Dress Up Your Chicken Nugget Appetizers
The past two weeks have been extra busy around our house. Between visiting family, dance competitions, Halloween, decorating for Christmas (yes, I said Christmas!) and an impromptu party I felt I was going to fall down! Chik-fil-A to the rescue! We were challenged to create appetizers using Chik-fil-A nuggets for the #ChikfilAMOMS Club. My kids…
Slow Cooker “Healthier” Butter Chicken
So when I read this recipe for Slow Cooker Butter Chicken from Damn Delicious.net it threw me off a bit. I couldn’t figure out why people kept referring to Butter Chicken when this recipe has no butter in it. Then I did some research. The British used butter and heavy cream to make this Indian…
Turkey Thighs with Garlic Gravy
I am always on the look out for a bargain. I am not cheap, I far prefer the term frugal. When I was at the grocery store the other day I was strolling through the meat department looking for mark-downs or special Manager’s sales when I spotted 3 lbs. of turkey thighs for under $3.00! …
10 Delicious Slow Cooker Recipes for Fall
I love Fall! The great sleeping weather, the crisp apples and the smell of cinnamon everywhere you turn. This time of year my slow cooker is working overtime. I love coming home to a dinner about 90% complete. Adding a salad, sides or a bit of spices to the pot make the meals complete. These…
Chicken with Parmesan Sauce
This is not a good picture of this meal. My camera batteries were running low and the flash was not working. But, I did the best I could so you could get an idea of the dish. Last night was a dance night for us. That means dinner need to be on the table shortly…
Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings – Response to “Is This the End of the Family Dinner?”
The other day there was a news story about how the stress of cooking “home-cooked” meals may outweigh their benefits. Headlines asked, “Is this the End of the Family Dinner?” In the study the women were comparing themselves to their ideal of what a home-cooked meal should be according to magazines, nutritionists and societal norms. …
Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy
I am teaching my kids to cook. I have them help me make dinner a couple of nights a week. Sometimes it is just cooking the vegetables or making a salad. Other times, like the other night, my daughter cooked the whole meal. I want them to be able to leave home and subsist on…
Buffalo Chicken “Cupcakes”
Today is the first day back to school for the kids. I am an emotional wreck. Both of my children are starting taking big steps forward in their lives. My baby boy starts middle school (6th grade) and my daughter starts high school (9th grade). Through I know as parents we are to prepare them…
