The kids start back to school next week. It cannot be possible. I swear we were just celebrating their being home for three months. For us this was the summer that really wasn’t. We are used to going to the beach 3-4 days a week and we went to the beach 3-4 times this whole…

Slow Cooker Spicy Lime Chicken
We are two weeks from back-to-school time. I can already feel the anxiety beginning to ramp up a bit around our house. I am trying to start them on the school schedule now so that it is not such a shock the first week of school. Things are going okay but I am trying to…
Hummus Crusted Chicken with Zucchini and Summer Squash
I needed inspiration for dinner. Supplies are low this week so I needed to use things I had on hand in the refrigerator and pantry. I was browsing through Pinterest because that is what I do daily. I saw the title of a Pin that someone had posted and I knew right away I wanted…
Baked Chicken Wings (with 3 sauces) and Loaded Baked Potato Salad
Sticky Sweet Garlic Wings (top), Spicy Ranch Wings (middle) and Traditional Buffalo Wings (bottom) with Loaded Baked Potato Salad As we near the end of the month I am trying to use up some of the leftovers in the freezer. I found a 5 lb. bag of chicken wings and thought “Eureka!” I felt like…
Spicy Chicken Strips with Cream Sauce
I loved the idea of this dish. Simple. That’s what I need lately. Things that I can get on the table within an hour for everything including setting the table. Prep work definitely helps too. If you are making mashed potatoes getting them peeled and into ice water can save a bit of time at…
Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwiches
This recipe is one I have had sitting in my file box for a while. It is SUPER simple and needs very few ingredients. Once you add the Caesar dressing to the chicken dinner can be on the table within 30 minutes. Verdict: Both kids gobbled this meal up. We were going out to dinner…
Chicken with Rosemary Sauce
So, we ate dinner last night at 9:15 pm. I convinced my children we were eating like Europeans. I don’t know why it was so late but at least we finally all sat down at the table together. This is not a great picture of the meal. It was really dark by the time we…
Roasted Mediterranean Balsamic Chicken with Vegetables
As we were discussing some of our favorite meals that I have made over the last few year everyone agreed that their favorites were the Asian, Middle Eastern or Mediterranean dishes. We all really like the savory flavors of the dishes. If I open my cupboard right now I know I would find no less…
Chicken Divan
I normally don’t post on Saturday or Sunday but I didn’t have enough hours in the day yesterday to post this Chicken Divan dish that we had Thursday night so I wanted to make sure I got it in today. A few months ago I made a Pork Divan because what I thought was chicken…
Ten Delicious Dishes to Change Your Mind About Chicken Breasts
I cook using chicken breasts in many of my recipes as I can usually buy them for $1.99 a pound or less when on sale. I usually buy them 20 to 30 pounds at a time so that I can use them the 6-8 week sale rotation until they will be back on sale…
Fourth of July Week – Grilling and Salads
I decided rather suddenly to take last week off from blogging and our dinners. We had company for the first part of the week and I was a bit fearful of feeding him some of my first attempt dishes so I decided to stick with the tried and true. Then it was my birthday and…
Better than Take-Out Orange Chicken
So, when chicken breasts are $1.99 a pound or less I buy them in bulk. I cut some up into strips, some into cubes and leave some breasts whole. I add marinate to some of the bags of chicken before I freeze them. This way when I need cubed chicken, such as for this dish,…
