When the Cowkids say, “make it again mom” I know it’s a winning recipe, and that’s what they ALL immediately said when they tried this Cheesy Ranch Chicken. This chicken dish can be made with any chicken meat, but I prefer chicken breast. I like to serve it with baked… Read More »

This 3 Ingredient Cherry Chocolate Dump Cake wasn’t technically invented by “Grandma Connie” (my mother-in-law), but the entire reason I tried to make a dump cake was her influence! The last time I traveled out of town to emcee an event, I found myself in the same town as her,… Read More »

I “invented” these triple chocolate cookies last week because of something I saw on the FOOD network. On a recent episode of her show, Giada De Laurentiis made homemade ice cream sandwiches with her family, which I thought sounded pretty tasty.

We aren’t big rice eaters around here but the other day I made Meatloaf and Smashed Brussel Sprouts only to realize that we had no potatoes left in the house. Oops, guess my normal side dish of mashed potatoes is a no go. I headed to Pinterest and found a… Read More »

I was reading a post on Twitter the other day where the author ranted about how people take too much time explaining the hows and whys of their recipes. It went something like “We don’t care about the farm stand down the road and memories of cooking with Grandma Betty.… Read More »
