Haunted Hors D’oeuvres
Spooky Season is upon us! Now that it’s after October 1, we can gear up for Halloween and all things spooky 😊 Halloween is a month-long celebration at my house. We watch all the classic movies and anything new we can find, gorge ourselves on candy, and decorate with probably too many pumpkins. But it’s fun and helps us get in the holiday spirit! I like to try new Halloween themed recipes every year too. It’s fun to have themed treats for a movie viewing party or to simply enjoy throughout the week. This year, I have 3 recipes to share with you: Halloween Pizza Dip Candy Corn Quesadilla Candy Corn Cupcakes Halloween Pizza Dip is the perfect appetizer! It’s loaded with cheese, pizza sauce, and pepperoni, and is enjoyed with soft pizza dough bites that are baked around the dip. It’s served hot, right from the oven, and won’t last long 😊 It’s easy to make and comes together in … Continue reading

Salads Make Simple
If you haven’t checked out the Meat Counter at your local Festival Foods, I highly recommend it! You can find plenty of standard meat options; beef, chicken, seafood, etc. …things you would expect to see. BUT you will also find some specialty items you might not be familiar with. My favorite items to buy are the encrusted chicken breasts. They come in a variety of flavors; pecan, parmesan, buffalo, and tortilla are the most common. If you are lucky, you might find a different flavor from time to time. They are sold individually or pre-packaged as a pack of 2, depending on the store location. You can typically find some of each in our freezer for a quick and easy weeknight meal. Most commonly, I will bake the chicken breasts and serve them with a side salad or slice the chicken to eat on top of a bed of lettuce. You can play around with different flavor combinations … Continue reading

Chicken Bacon Ranch Kabobs
Chicken Bacon Ranch Kabobs are a simple 5 ingredient meal the whole family will love! They are very flavorful and a combination most people are already familiar with. Try them for a quick weeknight meal or serve at a summer BBQ. The kabobs are packed with crispy bacon, tender chicken, and are marinated in a homemade ranch dressing. The recipe can be found here. Start by adding the wooden skewers to a drinking glass filled with water to soak before grilling. This will prevent the wood from catching fire on the grill. Set aside until ready to use. I like to marinate mine for at least a few hours. Alternately, you can use metal skewers and skip the soaking process. My preference is to use 6” skewers but 10” skewers also work, you just won’t have as many skewers. Add the olive oil, black pepper, and ranch seasoning to a gallon size Ziploc bag. Shake slightly to combine. Slice … Continue reading

White BBQ Sauce Grilled Chicken Flatbread
A previous blog of mine for White BBQ Sauce Grilled Chicken discusses a wonderful condiment – White BBQ Sauce. Another recipe I created using the same BBQ sauce is for a White BBQ Sauce Grilled Chicken Flatbread. It’s absolutely divine! The White BBQ Sauce is tangy, zesty, and pairs well with grilled meat…or in this case, acts as a great pizza sauce 🙂 This flatbread recipe is simple to make and can be customized to any taste. I like to use chicken, cheese, red onion, and green onion. You can omit or add any items. Try adding mushrooms or green pepper, chopped bacon, you name it! Or skip any item if you have a pickier eater on your hands 🙂 The recipe for the White BBQ Sauce can be found here. The recipe for the White BBQ Sauce Grilled Chicken Flatbread can be found here.

White BBQ Sauce Grilled Chicken
If you’ve never had White BBQ Sauce, you are missing out! It’s delicious and worth trying! It has a zesty, tangy, mayonnaise-y base that is combined with vinegar, mustard, and spices. It’s a very popular condiment in Alabama from what I hear. One thing I love about this recipe is it makes enough to use between multiple recipes and have some to save for later. You can also play around with the flavors until you find your favorite combination – swap in a different mustard or vinegar, add different seasonings, etc. I pair the White BBQ Sauce with grilled chicken most frequently, which is the recipe I want to share with you today. The recipe can be found here. Start by making the BBQ sauce. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, sugar, garlic, and horseradish to a bowl and whisk to combine. This recipe makes about 4 cups of … Continue reading

Rosemary, Garlic & Bacon Chicken Burgers
Rosemary, Garlic & Bacon Chicken Burgers are packed with flavor yet light and almost more satisfying than a beef burger. You use this lovely rosemary and garlic mayo as a spread on the bun and inside the burger making it extra moist and juicy. I like to top the burgers with arugula, but you could substitute lettuce. I like the peppery, crunchy texture of arugula and this it pairs well with the flavors of the chicken burger. The recipe can be found here. Start by cooking the bacon according to package instructions. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain the excess grease and set aside. The recipe calls for 1 slice of bacon per burger, but you can make more and add as much as you like. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, rosemary, and garlic. Set aside. If you are looking for a lighter option, use … Continue reading

Hickory Smoked Buffalo Wings
We recently got a smoker and let me tell you, we’re having some fun working on recipes! Our first attempt at smoking meat was chicken wings. We thought, let’s start small, see how this thing works, and not spend a lot of money on meat in case it doesn’t turn out…. The result was Hickory Smoked Buffalo Wings. They were phenomenal! We used hickory wood chips and the flavor really came through in the chicken wings. The smoker is electric and does require you to add additional wood chips throughout the smoking process. Perhaps next time we’ll try mesquite. The whole process was pretty easy. You basically smoke the chicken wings as is, then toss them in the sauce and smoke again, so the smokey flavor will also absorb into the sauce a bit. The recipe can be found here. Start by adding the hickory wood chips to the smoker … Continue reading
Lettuce wraps are one of my favorite go-to recipes for a hot summer day. They are light and packed with fresh flavors, leaving you satisfied without being overly full. I want to share my recipe for Asian Chicken Meatball Lettuce Wraps with Mango & Coleslaw with you today. The nice thing about this recipe is it’s really 2 recipes in one. You can eat the Asian Chicken Meatballs as is or turn them into delicious lettuce wraps. My preference is to create lettuce wraps but the meatballs pair well with rice or steamed vegetables if you are looking for something more comforting during cooler months of the year. The Asian Chicken Meatballs are tender and saucy, the coleslaw is packed with vegetables and offers a nice crunch in each bite, the mango adds a bit of sweetness, and the lettuce acts as a vessel to hold it all together. I … Continue reading
