Baked Bone-In Pork Chops

We’re going to bake these like we did the chicken legs/thighs a little while back.  The chicken was so good that I wanted to give it a go with pork chops.  We generally only use grill seasoning when we’re grilling, so it’s fun to try something new.  Let’s Get Crafty! 1 inch thick bone-in pork…

Baked Thai Chicken

Sheet dinners are meant to be a quick way to get dinner in the oven, so you can focus on the other tasks at hand.  I also like that generally the lineup includes your protein and then some veggies for the side.  Bada bing.  Bada boom. This dinner was a throw to that idea… there’s…

Jalapeno Popper Chicken

Jalapeno poppers are one of my all-time favorite treats.  I love so many different versions of them.  This recipe comes from wanting jalapeno poppers for dinner but trying to mix it up to be a main dish.  I was really happy with how it turned out.  I would do more jalapenos next time. Let’s Get…

Fresh Salsa

I truly love all kinds of salsa.  We found a few jalapenos from our garden that were hiding in the middle of the plant and I was excited to use them right away.  We didn’t have all the ingredients that I usually use in salsa but decided to make it work with what we had. …

Fried Chicken Salad Wraps

It was 5:30 and I had nothing defrosted and no idea what we were going to have for dinner.  I went to the grocery store and didn’t see anything at the meat counter that gave me inspiration.  Then… I walked over to the deli and there was cold fried chicken.  Boom!  It instantly took me…

Pizza Stuffed Zucchini

This summer has flown by for us and I’m not sure where the time has gone.  Please don’t be alarmed that I haven’t been posting very consistently here lately.  We’ve definitely still been eating!  😀 Stuffing zucchini is a summertime favorite of mine.  I think it’s because when you broil cheese on top you end…

Philly Stuffed Peppers

We haven’t made stuffed peppers for a while and I decided it would be a great way to use up some peppers hanging out in the fridge. This dish has the flavors of a philly cheese-steak sandwich without the extra carbs of the roll.  We had most of the ingredients already on hand and just…

Ranch Cracker Mix

Here’s an easy snack that kids can help make.  There’s something about baking the crackers to crispy goodness in my own house and tasting it while it’s still warm that makes me a happy girl.  We made this when we took out the camper for the weekend and it was the perfect thing to snack…

Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan is one of those comforting meals that when it’s done right… it’s amazing.  We are using a recipe from Ree Drumond in her Come and Get It cookbook on page 158.  We followed the idea pretty close.  I soooooooo wish my pictures did this meal justice.  It was really good and my husband…

Baked "Grilled" Chicken

We were going to grill chicken for dinner, so I got it ready like I normally would and put it in the fridge to hang out.  Then… my husband called and wouldn’t be making it home for dinner.  He’s the master griller in our house, so I decided to bake the chicken instead and see…
