Roasted New or Red Potatoes

I really wanted a new "starch" side for dinner, and this sounded fresh and yummy.  It was a HUGE SUCCESS.  The kids really loved it, and I myself, had to be careful not to eat too many!  VERY good--doing it again...soon! ingredients: 6-8 new or red potatoes (usually 1 potato per person...

Grilled Chicken Marinade

I found this recipe for marinading my chicken in before grilling it up.  I love to grill in the summer-time.  I think you can probably use up to several breasts or breast tenders.  Enjoy! ingredients: 1/3 cup olive oil 1/3 cup lemon juice (fresh is best--use a bit less if using bottled) 1...

Cinnamon Roll Cake

We tried this last night and it turned out fabulous.  It was less cake-like and more roll-like.  But with the ease of a cake and not waiting for dough to rise, etc. etc.  My daughter and I put this together, and it has been very much enjoyed!  I'll for sure make this again. ...

Honey Sesame Chicken for the Slow Cooker

We had this tonight, and it turned out delicious.  I think I was expecting a more traditional Teriyaki chicken flavor, and while this had hints of that, it was more along the lines of "bourbon chicken" we find at our local Panda restaurants.  We really enjoyed the taste of this.  It took about 15 minutes to prepare and voila--the slow cooker did the rest! ingredients: 2-3 lbs. boneless...

Breakfast Empanadas, Freezable

This was a hit!  Our family SO enjoyed these--and we had them for dinner one night.  Because you are making dough, it was a bit more involved than my normal "quick" meals...but the pay-off was HIGH!  These are FREEZEABLE.  SO, you could make a bunch of these up, and have them for...

Mexican Chicken Ring

I found this on Pinterest...and we had it tonight.  It didn't take too long to put it all together.  My family doesn't like chunky tomatoes/onions/peppers, so I blended the Rotel.  I figure you can use salsa just as easily with a very similar flavor result.  It was FABULOUS. ...

My friend made this and I had it this morning...it was divine!  So fluffy and yummy, I could have had it for all three meals.  I'm thinking, you could easily make this in the crock-pot or the dutch oven while camping.  Thanks Mel for sharing the recipe...though I really wasn't going to leave your house without it ;-). ingredients: 1 loaf french bread, cut diagonally into 1" pieces 8...
