You’ll Laugh Your Way Through Making This

Raise your hand if you’ve gotten takeout more than once this week! I’m kind of embarrassed to say I’ve reached for the takeout menu often lately. I know it’s not the best choice, whether it’s money you’re thinking about or the health aspect. But sometimes (a lot of times, actually) I’m so short on time, takeout seems to be the only option.

I decided it was time to make a change, so I’ve been trying out all kinds of new recipes that will save the day. I need recipes that are simple to put together, don’t take a lot of time to prepare and taste just as delicious as their takeout counterparts!

This slow cooker chicken teriyaki has quickly become one of my favorites. It’s inexpensive and my whole family loves it! You can serve it over rice or your favorite noodles, and you barely have to lift a finger to prepare this.

I even had my kids make this for us the other day! My two daughters, who are 11 and 12, are always excited to help out in the kitchen. I gave them instructions and they were able to put this together completely on their own. You should have seen how proud they were of themselves!

Crack The Code To The Most Incredible Dessert EVER

If there is such a thing as Lemon Crumb Bar Eaters Anonymous, please let me know about it. I have developed somewhat of an addiction to these – actually, I think my husband would describe it an obsession. You’ll understand when you give this recipe a try! I kind of wish I had never stumbled upon this recipe – then again, I’m really happy I did!

Ever since I found this recipe I’ve been making these bars for ALL occasions. I’m serious. I’ve made these for birthdays, potlucks and a baby shower. I even made these for our neighbors, for their wedding anniversary. And you have no idea how many times people have asked me for the recipe! That’s why I decided to share it with you here.

I can’t decide whether it’s the crumb topping that’s my favorite thing about these bars, or the beautiful, creamy lemon filling. I just know that I am hopelessly in love with these, and I’m about to make another batch tomorrow. Or maybe tonight!

People Will Think You’ve Lost Your Mind When You Tell Them What These Are… Until They Try One!

Have you been searching for the most amazing cookie recipe on the planet? Your search is over, because this is it! You are absolutely going to fall in love with this recipe! Whether you’re making these for a potluck, an office party or just to take to your lovely neighbor, these will always be a huge success. I’m pretty sure if you’re looking for a husband or a wife, these will get you one!

Never in a million years did I think something like bacon would make your ordinary chocolate chip cookies so much better! Fortunately I overheard one of the ladies at my church talking about bacon cookies, and I just had to ask for the recipe. I mean, bacon?? It sounds so weird, doesn’t it?

But when you think about it, salty and sweet is always such a mouth-watering combination! And whenever there’s bacon involved, you can’t go wrong. I have to tell you, though, from personal experience – you may want to cook a double batch of bacon because some of it is going to mysteriously disappear while making these cookies, haha!

Quick Tip: Chill the cookie dough for a while before baking – this way the cookies don’t spread so much.

The 1950’s were the golden era of recipes, if you ask me!

Let me be perfectly honest with you; I am a recipe freak. I mean that in the most positive way! I love collecting all kinds of recipes and I’m always ready to try something completely new and modern.

But there is a part of me that can never let go of those old staples – you know, the ones that have been around since you were a child. Occasionally I tweaks these old family favorites a little, just to see if they will turn up even more delicious with a modern twist.

And sometimes they do! I’ve come up with the most brilliant meals just by throwing in some new flavors, respecting the original recipe. But there are some recipes that you really should leave alone. This bread pudding is one of them! It is so perfect just the way it is that I don’t dare try tweaking it the slightest bit.

This is a recipe I found years ago, when my mother and I were trying to recreate grandma’s bread pudding. Sadly, we lost her original recipe when she passed, but this one is as close to it as it gets!

Quick Tip: If you’re serving this to children, vanilla sauce works really well!

Wow. That’s all we can say about this awesome casserole. We all enjoyed fishing out the hunk of bacon fat from a can of baked beans when we were kids, right? Well, this recipe smothers the baked beans in crispy strips of bacon for a savory treat so mouthwatering you’re going to need a bib. Seriously, you won’t have any leftovers because they will all be in your belly.

Watch your family gobble up this meal like nobody’s business. I’m talking complete food inhalation. Whenever I place baked bean and bacon casserole on the table my husband and kids get this crazy look in their eyes like they are about to totally devour the food. And guess what? They do! I love making a meal that’s a winner with the fam.
