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!

Quick Tip: I like to add a little bit of paprika.

The easiest way to make dinner for the whole family.

I enjoy cooking fancy and festive meals for friends and family. To me, it’s a wonderful way of showing them that I really care about each and every one of them.

I really care about my husband and kids, too, but to be honest with you, on weeknights my meals tend to be a little more casual… Long workdays and schooldays, hobbies and house chores – there just aren’t enough hours in a day to slave away in the kitchen every single night! Thank goodness for my crock pot!

When I got my first slow cooker it was like a gift from God. It made my life so much easier, and I didn’t have to worry about all the hassle that usually comes from making dinner. I collected a good bunch of crock pot recipes and I was good to go!

Over the years I’ve gotten another slow cooker, as well. It’s awesome – I make the main dish in the large one while the dessert is cooking in the other one! My collection of recipes is pretty impressive these days, and this slow cooker chicken meal is one of my family’s favorites.

Quick Tip: Try using your favorite seasoning mix for this!

I think you should make two loaves… It’s so delicious, it’ll be gone in a heartbeat!

What every family needs is a good meatloaf recipe, and this one is the best I’ve found so far. I’m saying “so far” because I’ll probably keep trying new ones for as long as I live.

It’s not that I don’t think this is good enough – in fact, it’s just the opposite. I think this meatloaf is so tasty that it’s going to be hard, if not impossible, to top this. But that’s exactly why I occasionally search for new recipes. If I get lucky, some day I’m going to end up with another one that is even more delicious!

That’s exactly what happened to me with this recipe. I had made plenty of meatloaves before; I love the stuffed ones, and also the mini meatloaves (those are the kids’ favorite) but as soon as I realized you could cover your whole meatloaf with bacon, I knew it was going to be awesome.

You can choose turkey bacon if you want to make this a bit leaner – but personally I think you should always go for the real thing! Choose your favorite brand or try special flavors each time.

Quick Tip: Instead of making one big meatloaf, make several smaller ones and wrap them in bacon. Adjust the baking time accordingly!

This recipe puts me in a very good mood, and I’ll tell you why. I hate coming home after a long day and trying to figure out something for dinner. Between hungry kids, dirty dishes, and a million other things going on, I want to toss all of the food groups into one baking dish, set the oven at 350, and call it good.

Is that even possible?

Yes! Yes, it is very possible with this one-pan wonder. Combine pasta, chicken breast, bacon, and cheese together in your favorite baking dish and smother it with a creamy sauce for the perfect busy weeknight meal. It’s easy to make, tastes great, and fills hungry bellies nicely.

Quick Tip: Swap out the cream sauce ingredients with a jar of Alfredo sauce for an Italian kick!

Bored of the usual eggs and bacon? Feel like a short-order chef when it should be a ‘lazy’ Sunday? This cheesy breakfast sausage croissant bake is the solution to all your problems. A base of buttery croissants lines the casserole pan, followed by spicy ground Italian sausage for your protein, and then a lovely cheesy egg mixture tops it all off.

Bake this up until golden brown and bubbly and serve it up at your next Sunday brunch or bring it to a friends house for a tasty pot-luck that will be a new favorite! What makes this even better is you can whip it up the night before, refrigerate, and pop it in the oven the next morning for a quick breakfast everyone will devour!

Quick Tip: If you aren’t a fan of Gruyere or Swiss cheese then subsitute for something else, such as cheddar, pepperjack, or American cheese.

This one was just too good to pass by, I just had to share it! If you love Italian food as much as I do then stuffed shells are a must for any occasion. Stuffing options are endless, but I love this version I came across with spinach and ricotta. Sneaking in veggies without compromising flavor is a win-win in my book!

Super creamy with the perfect hint of a lemon-y tang, combined with a slightly crispy parmesan crust will take you on a tasty tour of Italy. This recipe bakes in a quick 20 minutes and serves enough for company. I know what’s for dinner tonight in my home!

Hamburger Helper Doesn’t Hold A Flame To This Low-Maintenance, Easy-To-Make Family Meal Deal

Yes. I admit I was once an avid Hamburger Helper fan. I’d make one of these boxed casseroles at least once a week. Why? To save time! When life gets busy, you don’t always have time to whip up a fancy schmancy gourmet meal. That is until I came across this easy as pie casserole. Hamburger and potato casserole contains everything you love about the classic Hamburger Helper version (except the MSG and other preservatives lol!).

You get to toss a whole lot of hearty ingredients like juicy burger, filling potatoes, and cheese into a baking dish and allow it to cook in your oven for about an hour. That’s all there is to it! The process of assembly probably won’t take you more than 20 minutes or so.

This casserole is for busy moms and dads everywhere. it is simple to make and the kiddos love it. I’m promising you, your family will be jumping for joy when you serve them this yummy food.
