With Halloween being so close we have had a super busy week. Just getting ready for Trick-or-Treating, class parties and of course having friends over to eat dinner prior to Trick-or-Treating with us seems to take up the whole week leading up to Halloween. I went with a super easy dinner. I needed something that…

Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros
My 200th post. I thought it would be something spectacular like boeuf bourguignon or something. Definitely not a chicken dish. But, it has been a long, strange journey for me and my family over the last 20 months. Moving twice in one year (don’t recommend it) threw a monkey wrench into everything, but despite two…
Slow Cooker Balsamic Drunken Chicken
It is tax season in our house. That means that my other half is gone from 7 am to about 10 or 11 pm just about every day, including most weekends. Life goes on. There are still lessons for the kids, school meetings and parties, etc…. But, towards the end of this 3 month…
KFC Like Mashed Potato Bowl
So after a long day of dancing, going to the cider mill and running errands we got home about 8:30 pm. I had nothing prepared for dinner and not even a thought in my head about what to make. I knew we had some gluten-free Tyson Chicken nuggets in the freezer that I could quickly…
Crunchy Chicken Casserole
Well, I guess September is going to be a month of chicken and ground beef dinners. Just completed our monthly shop (yes, I only shop once a month except for fresh produce and dairy). This week the best sales were on ground beef and chicken so several packages of each were just frozen. I cooked…
Overnight Slow Cooker Chicken Stock
This has to be one of the best lessons I have learned using my slow cooker. My family loves chicken soup and whenever I roast a chicken during the winter I always get out my soup pot to boil the carcass and gizzard to make soup. I also buy 2-4 cartons of chicken stock every…
Sausage Alfredo Pizza
The weather the past two weeks in Michigan has been down right Fall like. I have been craving pizza and needed to make something other than plain, old red sauce with sausage. I found this recipe for Deep Dish Alfredo Pizza on Allrecipes.com. I knew I wasn’t going to make a deep dish pizza as…
Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken over Wild Rice
I have passed over this recipe for Crockpot Pineapple Chicken on Pinterest at least one hundred times. I kept thinking how can this be good? There is nothing in it. Sure, it looked easy but … would it be tasty? Finally I had to give it a try. I needed a quick easy dinner and…
Cheez-It Chicken Fingers
I think everyone has seen all the variations of this recipe on Pinterest lately. You can have Pretzel Crusted Chicken Fingers, Doritos Crusted Chicken Fingers, Potato Chip Crusted Chicken Fingers and now Cheez-It Crusted Chicken Fingers. Basically any crunchy snack food you can crush you can coat your chicken with. I have always said I…
Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Chicken
Chicken is the meat of August I guess. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts were $1.69 a pound on sale so of course I had to buy over 12 pounds of them. I never could resist a sale. For some women it is shoes, for me it is meat. So I have cut some up into chunks,…
Chicken Francese – Rachel Ray
We had chicken thawing in the fridge and not very much else on the cupboard shelves. I started searching for recipes and found in Every Day with Rachel Ray a recipe for Chicken or Fish Francese-wiches. Well, I did not have bread, arugula, paprika, lemons or tomatoes but being adventurous as I am decided to…
Buffalo Chicken Pizza
I thought once school ended things would slow down and we would have leisurely dinners in the evening on the patio under little umbrella lights. Who was I kidding? I think things are busier than ever. I am still having to create dinners to go at least once a week. We are spending a great…
