I’ve always really enjoyed eating a home cooked chicken dinner? How about you? There’s just something about a whole roaster chicken sizzling in a pot that gets my tummy rumbling. My mother used to make chicken dinners quite frequently but it seemed like it took her hours upon hours to finish the meal prep up. Now, I know it most likely didn’t take her that long but man oh man, she was in the kitchen forever!

Now, if you don’t have time to be slaving away in the kitchen all day, which most of us do not, this basic chicken roasting recipe is right up your alley. It’s easy to prepare and delivers you with a mouthwatering chicken dinner that will make you say “mmmm”!

I love making goodies and treats for my family, especially cookies. There’s nothing like seeing the smiling faces of your children when they get off the school bus and walk into a house that smells like mom’s been baking treats all day. This called “pure childhood bliss.” Do you remember that feeling? We often lose our childlike happiness and carefree spirit as we age. Well, folks, today we are getting it back with this recipe.

Let me ask you something. “How did you feel when you first saw the commercials for slice and bake cookie dough?” Did you get a little giddy inside? Perhaps, the notion of no mixing of any ingredients and having freshly baked cookies in 12 minutes put a little pep in your step. I know that it sure did mine! Well. we are making homemade slice and bake cookie dough today and you cna either use the dough immediatly or freeze it for later. enjoy!

When I was a child I can remember going on family camping trips to the local state parks in the are that we lived. You see, i grew up in the “thumb” of Michigan so I was directly on the shoreline of Lake Michigan otherwise known as the Saginaw Bay. The campground we would often frequent was called Sleeper State Park. It was always a blast and my sisters and I would have fun making s’mores by the campfire.

Now, if you know anything about Michigan, you know that the campaign season is short lived because the state tends to get very cold quite quickly. So, s’more season ends. Boo! But, there is hope out there to all of my midwestern and east coast brothers and sisters! This recipe allows you to make s’mores in your house. And guess what? They are covered in chocolate and sprinkles? I think I just fainted.

Quick Tip: You don’t have to only use chocolate in this recipe but other flavors as well like vanilla, strawberry, and almond.

If you enjoy the flavors of French Dip sandwiches you will go gaga over this Italian drip beef. It’s pretty much the same concept other than the recipe is different in terms of ingredients and flavors. I really enjoy the hot and spicy flavor that is in this recipe. I’m not too big on hot stuff but this is actually really good. it’s just the right amount of heat and definitely not overpowering. Plus, the toasted bread and cheese help cool your taste buds a bit.

Now, I’ll be honest, my husband loved this meal but it gave him heartburn. If you are prone to heartburn might I suggest drinking milk with this meal OR using a medication or home remedy to prevent a fire from building in your belly. I sometimes like to drink a glass of water with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to help nutrilize the acids in the gut. Try it!

Quick Tip: This recipe makes quite a bit and can easily be halved.

I was raised on bread puddings. my grandma would make them all the time. If I can recall, she would use a whole mess of old bread, lots of eggs, milk, butter, sugar, and nutmeg. Granny would mix it all together in a big bowl with a wooden spoon then pour it into a prepared pan. The smell of grandma’s bread pudding baking in the oven was nothing less than intoxicating.

Truthfully, before this particular recipe, that was the only way i had ever known bread pudding to be. We usually ate grandma’s bread pudding as a dessert. So, this smoked sausage Johnsonville bread pudding was a real shocker to me because it’s meant to be eaten for dinner. Let me tell ya, it makes a real monster of a meal. talk about filling! You and your loved ones are really going to dig this recipe. Enjoy!

So, I have to admit, the first time i heard the words “prime rib” I instantly thought of something fancy schmancy. I mean, this dish totally can be fancy but that doesn’t mean it has to be hard to prepare. In fact, I was shocked at how EASY this recipe was and so will you.

One of the most important aspects of this recipe, and you’ll see me mention it numerous times, is the use of a meat thermometer. It is imperative when cooking a prime rib roast. You don’t want the meat to under or overcook as this determines the flavor you are looking for. So, if you don’t have a handy-dandy meat thermometer go git urself one, kid 🙂

Quick Tip: If you’d like the meat more cooked, leave it in the oven longer. Just keep an eye on the meat thermometer and don’t let it cook past medium rare!

So, I’m gonna level with you guys a little bit. Lately, I’ve been eating too many carbs and sugary treats. So, I’ve decided to eat a little better. Halloween and the holidays are right around the corner so I’m not sure how good of an idea this is right now but hey, I got this 🙂 Anyhoo, i am not about to deprive myself because I’ll just be hungry and loathsome of my husband’s tacos every day of my life and ain’t nobody got time fo dat.

So, I’ve learned to improvise and balance out my food choices. That’s why I LOVE this cheeseburger salad recipe. You get all the healthy greens that your body needs plus a bit of that burger you’ve bene craving. It’s genius! This recipe is super easy to make and tastes amazing. Try it 🙂
