I Like To Spell It D-I-V-I-N-E

Struggling with two very picky eaters I’ve realized you can never have too many delicious and easy chicken recipes. For some reason it seems that these “refined taste buds” accept chicken better than they do any other kind of meat. Or maybe it’s just that way in my family – what kind of dishes and ingredients work best for your picky eaters?

Although my kids could eat the same chicken dishes over and over again, it gets a little boring for mommy and daddy at times. That’s why I’m always searching for meals I haven’t tried before. I came across this easy chicken divan on Facebook and I thought it looked really inviting.

It was so awesome! My kids wanted to have seconds, which is a big deal! Somehow I had this idea that all chicken divan recipes would be really complicated of time-consuming but apparently it isn’t true. This was really quick to prepare, probably around 15 minutes, and it makes a great meal for the whole family.

Utter Bliss Is How I Would Describe This Awesome Slow Cooker Dish!

What an easy way to prepare an outstanding side dish for your special dinner! I have always loved my slow cooker but over the holidays it becomes even more important to me. I don’t even dare to think about all the hassle I would have to go through, if I didn’t have my crock pot to help me out with all these massive family meals. Things tend to get a little crazy even now!

These scalloped potatoes with ham are going to be the star of our next get-together. I’ve made this recipe a couple of times already and it turned out divine! You could basically serve this as the main dish on a regular weeknight (and I probably will), but for a special meal I’m going to call it a side dish.

You barely need 15 minutes to put this together, and then all you have to do is wait for the crock pot to do its job. That, and prepare the rest of the meal… Unless you’d like to serve only this, which wouldn’t be a bad option at all!

This Casserole Is Sure To Be a Hit With Your Family And Friends

I am a Northerner, through and through, but I absolutely LOVE Southern food. I mean, I’d be in complete denial if I were to say that the Southern folks didn’t know how to cook.

From casseroles to amazing entrees our friends from the south were blessed with magical cooking hands. That is why I’m totally on board with giving this grits and greens casserole a shot. It looks unbelievably creamy and it has bacon in it. Score! I think it will make a wonderful addition to my holiday table.

The robustness of this recipe makes it a wonderful addition to any meal. It’s quite filling, so a little goes a long way. I’ve had great success dividing the dish before baking and then freezing it. Simply add the bacon and cheese when you’re ready to do the final baking. I always add a little more bacon when I make this dish (I’ve done 2 practice runs and each time the casserole comes out divine.) My husband and kids are big bacon and cheese eaters so they barely noticed the greens in this casserole. Yay!

Do You Love Buffalo Chicken? This Appetizer Is Made For You!

Buffalo chicken dip is always a winner at my humble abode. If you have fans of the almighty spicy chicken wing in your family, then you have fans of this amazingly delicious dip!

My husband is crazy about buffalo chicken wings – and by crazy I mean completely insane. He could eat them for lunch and dinner every single day of his life! However, I am actually not that big a fan. Even though I do enjoy the flavors every now and then. I guess it’s more about that stickiness and mess when I’m eating them, not as much the ingredients.

That’s why this buffalo chicken dip is a huge hit at our house. It’s very simple to make and there’s no mess at all, when you’re eating it! You still get all those familiar flavors, and you can combine this with pretty much anything; tortilla chips, your favorite veggies, or even toast! In fact, if there’s any leftover dip (usually there isn’t), I like to turn it into a lunch sandwich for the next day.

People Will Beg You For The Recipe!

There is just nothing better than bacon, potatoes and cheese… am I right? Ha, well at least that’s how I feel when I’m in the mood for comfort food. And comfort food this is! De-lish.

I think this recipe makes a wonderful side dish for your holiday table as well as a great weeknight meal. You can eat these cheesy, bacon potatoes as an entree because, why not? Whenever I serve the dish as an entree I’ll include steamed veggies and crusty homemade bread.

When it comes to holiday food I like to offer a variety of options. I really do go all out and these cheesy, bacon potatoes are a welcome addition to the table. I mean, really, who doesn’t like cheese and bacon? And if you love cheese and bacon as much as I do then you will really lose your mind when those two items are added to a hot dish of yummy potatoes. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: If the potatoes seem to brown a little too fast, you can cover the baking dish with foil.

Just Give Me A Spoon And I’ll Be Fine, Thank You!

A few years back my sister made a delicious pizza dip for a family reunion. It was such a perfect appetizer that both, kids and adults, really loved. It was pretty dang good and she still makes it to this day.

Too bad we live hours apart so I can’t just take off and go enjoy her pizza dip… I guess I could still have my sister’s famous pizza dip by just making it myself lol! But then, would it really be the same?

Anyway, I tried calling her last night to get her recipe but she wasn’t home and never called me back. I suspect this is because her favorite TV show, The Walking Dead, was on and she cannot be disturbed during that program lol! Alright, neither can I, not gonna lie haha. So, in between commercials I sought out a marvelous pizza dip recipe and this one from one of my Facebook friends truly caught my eye.

You know who’s eye it wouldn’t catch? Glenn, from the Walking Dead. LOL ANYWAY, this dip is super easy to make and tastes amazing. Give it a try. It’s like eating pizza in dip form and it’s glorious.

Baked To Perfection, This Dip Will Be The Talk Of Your Next Game Night

I am a huge dip person. Of all types of appetizers, dips are my favorite. Sure, little bacon wrapped potatoes dipped in sour cream are delicious, as well as chopped up brie cheese and apricot jam are delicious wrapped in a puff pastry, but those require so much to enjoy it. You need a plate and napkin and sometimes even a fork to eat those.

A dip is different and much more convenient. With a swoop of your hand, you can have a chip full of dip in your mouth in no time. I just stand by the dip bowl to make it extra easy and more efficient, haha!

I will admit, I am a dip hog. I stand by the dip bowl and almost protect it from other people. If you have made a dip I have never tried, chances are, I want to eat it and eat the whole thing. Let’s just say I was taste testing it to approve it for others. Well, after much contemplation, I found the perfect dip recipe for my next party (and it will definitely be a staple at our game nights).  This one is easy and delicious!
