Mayonnaise Chicken Tenders

I love homemade chicken tenders. You won’t catch me buying any premade. I just don’t like the flavor. Making them yourself is so easy! It just takes a few steps and if time is an issue a little prep work ahead of time and you will be ready to roll. Your family will appreciate something homemade with flavor versus something frozen and rubbery. I love making these...

"Like" Progresso Italian Style Bread Crumbs

I found myself in a real mess yesterday when I needed Italian bread crumbs but I realized I didn’t have any. I decided I better get to work looking for a copycat recipe considering all the grocery stores were closed. It didn’t take long before I came across the perfect recipe that is a copycat recipe of Progresso’s Italian bread crumbs which is my favorite. It was...

Easy Chicken Gravy

I was in desperate need of comfort food this past weekend. After a nightmare week I needed something that would make it all go away and that something was biscuits and gravy. Biscuits and gravy is something we love here in our house and something that is good for every meal. This recipe is really delicious. I loved it with chicken broth but you can use it with any...

Creamy Fried Corn Confetti

I have to admit when I first saw this recipe I thought it looked good, then when I saw the recipe the day I made it, I thought it looked terrible. As I started cooking the dish I wasn’t impressed! It was seriously ugly and seemed to have too much cream cheese in it. BUT hold the phone! The flavor is incredible. I love the bell pepper in it. I never thought it would...

(Not So...) Wordless Wednesday: Texas Renaissance Festival

Last Sunday was the last day of the Texas Renaissance Festival. It was their Celtic Christmas Celebration. As always my husband and I had a blast. I hate to see it end each year, but I can’t wait for it to start the following year. Next year will be their 40th anniversary… not too shabby for the biggest renaissance festival I the country. There are always...

Ruth Chris Sweet Potato Casserole

I love sweet potato fries I think they are fantastic, but sweet potato casserole or sweet potatoes with marshmallows ugh! I don’t’ like them at all! As a matter of fact I will only make them for my husband I am not eating them. I just can’t stand the smell or the flavors. When I found this recipe I was intrigued. It looked interesting and my husband was all up for...

Cinnamon Apple Cranberries Orange Relish

This recipe is incredible. I can’t even begin to tell you how fantastic it is. The flavor is amazing with just enough sweet and just enough tart. This is truly the best cranberry relish recipe I have ever had. I can’t wait to make it again. I want to make it again for Christmas. Everyone loved it at our Thanksgiving table. No one could believe that the cranberries...

Iced Oatmeal Cookies @SwerveSweetie #Switch2Swerve #ad

We had some friends over a few nights ago for a small intimate Christmas party. We knew because of time restraints this would be our last time to get together before Christmas. I decided I wanted to make something that was in the holiday spirit but something that consisted of less sugar because one of my friends is trying to lose a few pounds before the holidays....

Darling Doodles "Forgotten Chicken"

I was pleasantly surprised how great this dish is. It’s full of flavor and the chicken comes out very tender. I love the fact that basically your entire dinner is done in one pan. Other than the dish I cooked a side of veggies. This is a great recipe to put together at the last minute. This recipe would also be something you could easily make for guest or...
