A Handful Of Ingredients Is All You Need For The Most Incredible Side EVER

Hi everyone! I have great news for you. I found this awesome channel called PBJVintageCookingVidz2, with really delicious recipes! I have already tried quite a few of them but a couple of days ago I came across this one, and it was so yummy that I just have to share. I swear just talking about it now, makes my mouth water!

It’s a recipe for broccoli with cheddar cheese sauce and believe me, it is to die for. I know it’s considered a side dish but I would be more than happy to eat this, alone, for dinner for the next two weeks or so. Maybe even three.

Granted, whenever there’s cheesy sauce involved it kind of makes you think of your calorie intake… But there’s also broccoli, so in my book this is still considered a healthy dish. If you are, however, watching your figure – you could just halve the sauce ingredients for this amount of broccoli. I guarantee it’s still going to taste amazing!

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 Macaroni & Cheesecake 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.

These Juicy Chicken Breasts With A Crispy Crust Are a Cinch To Make

Are you getting tired of having the same old, same old chicken? I love chicken dinners but I often find myself in a situation where I have the same handful of recipes, rotating over and over again. While there’s nothing wrong with repeating recipes your family loves, sometimes you just need a bit of a change. You know what I’m talking about, don’t you?

Last week I decided to try something different. I usually love making chicken casseroles because they’re creamy, easy to make, and I can hide all kinds of vegetables in there and my kids won’t even notice, haha! But I really didn’t feel like having another casserole that day, so I went ahead and got some chicken breasts.

While it may sound like a tiresome task to prepare each family member their own serving of chicken, it really isn’t! You can make this in 20 minutes, from start to finish, then just throw some salad on the side and you’ve got yourself an amazing dinner.

I Call This The Holy Trinity Of Food Ingredients!

I kind of have this funny habit of turning everything into combinations of three. I don’t know where I got it from, but I remember doing it ever since I was a kid. I guess maybe it somehow helped me remember certain things, or maybe it’s just the fact that I like the number 3 so it was fun to incorporate it in everything I did. I guess it doesn’t make a lot of sense but let me try and explain!

For example, my favorite homemade skin scrub includes coconut oil, brown sugar and coffee crumbs. When I stop by a cafe I always order ice cream, coffee and water (leave any of these out and it just isn’t the same!) When I go to the library I always bring home 3 books; a detective story, an autobiography and a diy-something-guide.

Needless to say, I also love recipes that combine 3 main ingredients or flavors. In this case, lemon, chicken and spinach. Which is one of the reasons I immediately fell in love with this recipe from Look Who’s Cookin’ Now. As soon as I saw this, I knew I was going to like it! And it didn’t disappoint!

Quick Tip: Use any kind of pasta for this dish.

A delicious snack is a must have when you are expecting company. It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple candy bar or if it’s something as well-prepared as a pasta dish or a casserole. You just have to have something to feed your friends because it’s the polite way of entertaining guests even if they are already very close to you. If it’s weekdays or weeknights, my friends have to resort to simple dishes. It’s during those nights that I could barely eat therefore I don’t have much time to even cook anything. My saving grace is this easy biscuit recipe. 

The good thing about this is that it requires very few ingredients, with some of them you can even find in your pantry.

It also really tastes just like the original! My friends instantly loved it and I even had to make another batch. It wasn’t a hassle though because this is an easy recipe. I had another batch whipped up in no time!

Quick Tip: You may use fresh garlic or garlic salt instead of garlic powder.

My husband loves fried chicken. I’m telling you, if there was a KFC in our town, I would have to drag him out of there kicking and screaming every day. Don’t get me wrong – I do love fried chicken, too, but he’d rather eat it every single day and it’s not exactly very healthy if that’s ALL you ever have for supper… So I’ve been trying to come up with a perfect recipe that would taste just as delicious, but would be a little bit healthier and less greasy.

I had tried different ways to make chicken wings but none of them really seemed to wow him. He never complains about any of my cookings (his mother raised him right) but you know how it is. When you’ve lived with someone for twenty years, he only needs to raise an eyebrow and you know what he’s thinking!

I had almost given up hope already, but then I decided to get back to basics and only use the ingredients I knew he really loved. I made a sort of a marinade for chicken wings and then baked them in the oven. You should have seen my husband’s face when he tried them! His eyes just lit up!

Quick Tip: Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your taste, or omit completely.

I love a good spinach and artichoke dip. It is full of delicious creamy and cheesy spinach and the artichoke gives it the perfect crunch. The best place to get it, in my opinion is Chili’s. It is so delicious and the veggie tortilla chips they serve with it go perfectly when eaten together. I cracked up so hard the other day when I went to Chili’s with my sister. She’s 12 and beginning to get into the stage where she wants to eat healthy. So when we ordered an appetizer, she ordered the spinach and artichoke dip.

After the waiter left, I asked if she was not eating healthy anymore and she said yeah. I asked why she ordered that and she said because it is green healthy stuff. I had to laugh. This creamy cheesy appetizer was definitely anything but healthy, but it was certainly delicious. Well, we enjoyed it and even lathered on the chicken we ordered later. That is when I came up with the idea of making a spinach and artichoke stuffed chicken breast. It seemed like a perfect idea and after putting it together at home, I absolutely loved it.
