Sit Down, Catch Up On Each Other’s Days And Dig Into This Flavorful Crock Meal

I have a clear favorite comfort food, and so do my kids. In all it’s glory it is chicken and dumplings, or dumplins’ as we refer to them.

This southern comfort food is that “one” that makes the whole house smell amazing and that can turn any dreary day around. The way I sometimes make it at home is with Bisquick and the dumplings are more like biscuits. But we all love the Cracker Barrel version and I was excited to make a similar one here at home. It turned out perfect, so perfect there were zero leftovers and lots of happy bellies.

I remember my neighbor stopping by to say hello and the moment I opened the door with this dish in the slow cooker she took a few whiffs and said, “Chicken and dumplins?”  I told her yes ma’am and of course offered her a bowl because we comfort our friends and family every chance we get! They don’t call it “southern comfort” food for nothing.

Quick Tip: Add a little Cajun seasoning for some extra spice!

Who doesn’t love scrambled eggs? They are simple, delicious, hearty and healthy. Sometimes though, a recipe comes along and I’m like “Woah! Did they really just do that?” That was my exact reaction when I discovered scrambled egg muffins. Yes you read that right! If you haven’t had a chance to try these you must! They are very versatile little egg bundles that can include all your favorite toppings. Kids and adults both love them. See what you can create!

We can’t get enough of strawberries in our household. It’s rare that a quart of them will last more than a day. That’s why when I set out to make these I knew I had to work fast!

As a young girl, there was a side dish that my mother would always make for Sunday dinners and holidays: her world famous baked beans. I loved eating these zesty little guys! The sauce that covered the beans was so good! When it cooked in the oven, it would caramelize and have the perfect amount of sweet and savory flavor. I couldn’t imagine having a big dinner without mom’s baked beans. As the years went by, and I got married, mom shared her recipe with me and now I make it for my family. Everyone absolutely loves it just like I did when I was growing up.

Have you ever wondered what the best dessert on the face of the planet was? Well, I’ll tell you what it is in a few shorts words: chocolate gobs. These amazing little goodies are your own personal pies of yummy, flavorful goodness. You’ve got two chocolate cake layers that have a thick, white frosting sandwiched in between them. Talk about a mouthful of heaven!

Anything butterscotch and I am in. My nana used to give us Werther’s Originals and it was the best flavor EVER. These Butterscotch Toffee Squares really remind me of that flavor, and visiting with her whenever we could.

Malted milkshakes are the best after a long day, a rough day, or any day. That unmistakable flavor that just soothes all the stress or exhaustion and lets you know that everything will be okay. It’s like taking a step back into childhood and visiting the ice cream place, how could you even dream of passing this up? Sure there were other tempting things on the menu but for me, this malted chocolate flavor was always my favorite. My brother got the root beer float – also pretty good but no match.
