So Much Tastier And Healthier Than Their Store-Bought Counterparts!

I had heard of all kinds of horror stories of what’s in those store-bought, or fast food restaurant chicken nuggets. I’m not going to repeat them here, but let’s just say I hadn’t eaten a single nugget ever since I first heard those rumors. Which was sad, because I used to really love them.

It had never even crossed my mind to make chicken nuggets at home – I thought I would need a deep fryer for that, and I wasn’t going to get one for just this dish. But then I came across Onedio Co’s post on homemade chicken nuggets, and there was no deep fryer involved!

They made it look so simple with just a handful of ingredients! And here I was, thinking it would be rocket science, haha! I tried their recipe and the chicken nuggets turned out ahh-mazing! I guarantee we are having these at every party, get-together and game night from now on. They are really easy to make!

This Chicken Is So Amazing, It’s Almost Surreal!

Hello, friends! I hope you are all doing well on this chilly fall day. Maybe some of you aren’t cold because you live some place warm. I’m jealous of you! LOL Anyway, who here is planning on overindulging in sweets and yummy foods over the holidays? I’d be lying if I told you that I have no such plans… So I’m kind of trying to eat lean and healthy before we get to the feast! The right way to do this is by making good foods that are healthy but still taste good. This baked chicken does just that.

The following recipe calls for low-fat Swiss cheese. Some might think this chicken will turn out dry and tasteless, but it’s not true at all! You are really going to enjoy this tasty chicken and how it is prepared. Plus, it won’t encourage the expansion of your waistline. Score! My husband and kids enjoyed this dish, too, which is amazing because they usually are more worst critics in terms of new foods, especially the healthy ones.

Take The Easy Road And End Up With A Hearty Meal For The Whole Family!

Lately I had gotten a little tired of cooking chicken dinners. I love chicken but I felt like I was always making the same dishes; serving the same flavors over and over again. Everybody needs a little change sometimes, and I guess I came across this recipe at the exact right time!

To me, chicken dinners are all about “easy”. They’re usually simple to make, perfect for weeknight meals and most of the time they’re not as heavy as meals with red meat are. Also, I have a picky eater in the house and I’ve been having a hard time finding recipes he likes. But he enjoys chicken, so I’m always trying to find new recipes I could make for him. And for the rest of the family, too, of course!

What I loved about this dish was that even though the ingredients are pretty much everyday stuff, in the end I got a completely new dish that didn’t taste like any other chicken casserole I had made before.

Quick Tip: Double the ingredients if you’re making this for a large crowd.

Is This The Easiest Enchilada Recipe Ever?

I’ve probably mentioned this before but I really love traveling. Whenever I get back home from a vacation, I get into this mood that I call “post vacation blues”.

I feel sad, sorry and frustrated, and I know there is no other cure than to start planning for another trip again. Well, in an ideal world we would all have plenty of money and free time to travel anywhere, anytime. Unfortunately I still live in a reality where I need to work for a living, and I’m only able to take a trip about once in two years. So what can I do in the meantime, to make the post vacation blues go away?

Food is the answer to so many problems, this one as well! I have started to cook a special dinner once a week – I pick some of the countries I’d love to visit, and choose a recipe that is common to their cuisine. This way I can pretend for at least one night that I am on vacation, in an exotic place, and it makes it much easier to wait for my next trip again!

Quick Tip: You can use your leftover chicken for this dish!

I took a lot of psychology classes in college because I found it interesting to learn how people’s minds worked. There was this one activity where everyone in class had to bring something that described him or her. One of my classmates, the “heartthrob” in class, was called first. He brought his backpack in front and took out a plastic bag. He didn’t open it, saying it would stink. It happened to be cordon bleu. Something that he bought two weeks ago and never took out from his backpack.

He said he was like the cordon bleu. He “tasted” so good with all the goodness inside him, but everyone always appreciated just his looks. And because of that, what was inside him remained hidden. It would soon rot because no one dared to look at what’s in there. All I could say was—I’d never look at cordon bleu the same way again.

Quick Tip: Serve with your favorite wine.

Recently I shared a recipe that my husband made for me for Valentine’s Day. He cooked up a storm in that kitchen and coated a bunch of chicken breasts with milk, ritz crackers and lots of herbs. It was a fun kind of treat that we did not expect to turn out well, but boy was it good! Nowadays, we cook it up with more special ingredients. We add a bit of butter to brown it and add some broccoli (not for health, but for color). In almost one year we have completely transformed the recipe. Instead of using a can of cream of chicken soup as a sauce for the kitchen, now we make our own as well.

We gather all of the ingredients and prep it all perfectly and then dump it in the crock pot. We also throw in some pasta while we’re at it and let that cook up along with it. It is so easy to put together and easier to find that instead of needing 3 pots and pans along with a bunch of spatulas and wooden spoons, all we need now is just one crock pot and one wooden spoon and the whole thing comes together seamlessly.
