The Easiest Way EVER To Make A Prize-Worthy Dinner!

Five ingredients! That’s all it takes to make a superb meal you won’t soon forget! Every time I serve these pork chops and gravy to my friends or family members, they all say the same thing. “It must have taken you the whole day to make something as delicious as this!” I always feel tempted to say, yeah, it took a lot of effort… But the truth is, it takes me 3 minutes to prepare these.

I am a huge fan of crock pot meals and if this recipe doesn’t explain why, I’m not sure you’ll ever understand. Seriously – if I can make such an amazing meal just by throwing a handful of ingredients in the slow cooker, I may never use the stove again!

My husband loves pork chops and when I first tried this recipe, he asked me to never go back to my old one again, haha! Don’t worry, hubby dear – I’m quite happy to stick with this one forever and ever. Why would I want to slave away in the kitchen when I can let my trusty crock pot do all the work for me?

So Yummy, You Won’t Know What Hit You

This is one of my favorite recipes for those moments when I need to come up with an easy dessert for a crowd! Not only are these lemon coconut bars super inexpensive and quick to make, they’re also on my Top 3 list of all-time best dessert bars. Trust me; it’s not easy to get on that list! But I guess by the time I was having my fourth piece, it was decided…

The first time I made these I was a little worried. The mixture for the crust looks a bit funny, kind of dry and crumbly, but don’t let that scare you! When you finish it off with the remaining ingredients and sprinkle that delicious coconut on top, you’ll soon see how wonderfully moist and scrumptious these are.

These make the perfect after dinner treat, served as they are or maybe with some ice cream or caramel sauce! I also love having these with my morning coffee, and that’s why I always hide a couple of pieces in the freezer, where the rest of my family won’t find them…

In Less Than 30 Minutes, You Could Be Stuffing Your Face With This Mouth-Watering Meal

When it comes to weeknight meals, the quicker and easier I can make them, the better. With all the hassle going on in our lives; school, work, hobbies and voluntary work, there’s no way I can stand by the stove for two hours every single day of the week.

Don’t get me wrong – I enjoy cooking a hearty meal for my family, but it’s just not a very realistic idea to try and do something like that every weeknight! Weekends are a whole different deal. That’s when we all gather together to cook and eat, and I don’t care how much time I spend in the kitchen then.

But on weeknights I enjoy recipes like this one here! A delicious, savory chowder with basic ingredients you can almost always find in your pantry. In half an hour you’ll be serving your family this wonderful comfort food, and you can only dream of having leftovers!

You Can’t Go Wrong With These Two Special Ingredients!

If you’ve gotten a little tired of your usual appetizers and would like to try something different, you’ve come to the right place! We all love the deviled eggs, pigs in a blanket and jalapeno poppers, but sometimes you just need a change. I know that sliders are a pretty common appetizer, too – but these sliders are packed with stupendous flavor!

Instead of ham and cheese (which are probably the most common slider fillings) this recipe is taking a completely different approach with shrimp and bacon! Mmm! I love shrimp and I love bacon, so it’s pretty strange that I hadn’t actually thought of combining these two.

Fortunately the world is filled with delicious recipes for those of us who are not always very inventive when it comes to cooking! This recipe from Petit Jean Eats is perfect for your next event – or maybe you’d just like to make these for dinner? I know I sure do!

Follow These Simple Steps For An Incredible Dish You Can’t Stop Eating

Some people may think it’s weird, but whenever I’m making scalloped potatoes, I honestly think it beats whatever entree I’m serving that day. I could enjoy this classic side dish for breakfast, lunch and dinner – and probably a little bit for dessert, too! I’ve also tried turning it into a full meal just by adding some ground beef. It turned out awesome!

Scalloped potatoes make the perfect side dish for your family reunions or any kind of get-togethers. It’s super easy to double, or even triple the ingredients and make these ahead for a large crowd, the night before.

This recipe does not include cheese but my little secret is to add some, every time I make these. It doesn’t even matter what kind of cheese; I always grate whatever scraps I happen to have in the refrigerator. You could also use half milk, half cream if you’d like a creamier dish, but I guarantee this is delicious just using milk, too!

A Weeknight Meal Or A Special Occasion – You’ll Want To Have This Every Day Of The Week

Want to hear something funny? Until about three weeks ago, I had never even heard of cassoulet. If it doesn’t ring a bell for you, either, no need to worry. It’s only the best freakin’ meal ever! I am not kidding, it really is fabulous. I’m forever grateful to my friend for letting me know this awesome dish exists!

A cassoulet is a traditional French dish that contains beans and at least one kind of meat. You won’t be able to make it in 30 minutes, so if you’re looking for a super fast meal, you may want to save this recipe for later. But I guarantee; when you make this, it’s a meal you’ll never forget!

This recipe from Cooking On The Weekends has quickly become my favorite. I’ve already made it twice; once for my family and another time for friends that were staying overnight. Everyone loved it!

This cake is piled high with chocolate, Orea cookies, and cream cheese.

So, basically, this cake is made with lots of delicious goodies that you simply cannot pass up. I had a hard time not digging into this cake before my kids and husband came home from school and work. I wanted it to be a surprise for them. I seriously had my knife in hand, at one time, hovering over the cake and wanting to slice deeply into it. That sounds a little psychotic haha!

This cake is enticing. Just it’s mere presence romanticizes you into wanting to eat each of its chocolaty layers. Once I was able to enjoy a slice…I enjoyed two.
