Grilled Cajun Chicken Quarters

I love to grill and it is finally grilling season! I did have to fight some strong winds last night but it was all worth it for this dinner! This recipe has turned into one of our family favorites, especially because I cook them long and slow so it gives us a bunch of time…

Layered Taco Casserole

I totally stole this idea from my sister in law…thanks, Katie!! What makes this meal great is you can use basically whatever ingredients you have around if you have potatoes. I used several ingredients because I had some leftover grilled peppers and some black beans in the refrigerator. This would be delicious with just taco…

Lemon Pepper Chicken

This is another recipe that I am going to use my favorite cut of chicken! So prepare yourself, you will be using chicken thighs. If you haven’t tried them already you are missing out and I’m not afraid to say it! Ingredients: 5 boneless skinless chicken thighs course black pepper onion powder garlic salt ¼…

Crispy Spicy Chicken Thighs

This recipe is a little bit of a blend because I use Cajun, and Mexican spices so I don’t even really have a good name for it. For this recipe, I used a couple of store-bought mixed seasonings which I will show you what I used but you can of course substitute if you have…

Creamy Chicken and Bacon Pasta

What makes this recipe great is there are just a handful of ingredients so as long as you have cream in your refrigerator more than likely you have the other ingredients.

Homemade Chicken and Noodle Soup

I am a big soup fan, especially when it is nice and cold outside and you want something cooking all day filling your home with good smells. One of my top choices is chicken and noodle, plain and simple straight up. This is my recipe… Ingredients Bone in chicken (I get a whole chicken cut…

Teriyaki Chicken Wings

This is actually my mom’s recipe but I have adopted it over the years. It was my favorite as a kid and I feel it is my duty to pass it on! This is a very easy recipe to make but a hard one to master, there aren’t exact measurements because you have to eyeball…

Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken

For years my husband thought he hated pineapple until one day he tried fresh pineapple (thank you Katie!) then he realized suddenly that he loved it. Once this epiphany happened I started creating recipes to use it and this is one that came from that. Ingredients: 3 boneless chicken breasts 1 red bell pepper 1…

Lemon Chicken

  This is a one-pan meal, well other than cooking your rice. This dish started with my mother in law, she makes a version of this that we have all really loved so after some trial and error I came up with my own spin on it. I always serve this over white rice but…

Shredded Chicken and Black Bean Skillet

My husband is Cuban so we eat a lot of black beans and rice, he grew up on it and now our kids are too. Not to long ago I didn’t have a clue what I was going to make for dinner one night, it was one of those nights that I just stood in…
