Apple Butter & Prosciutto Naan Flatbread
Apple Butter & Prosciutto Naan Flatbread is the perfect fall dinner. It’s easy to assemble, quick to make, and tastes amazing! The classic combination of apples and cheese give this recipe a sweet and savory taste, and very unique flavor. It’s a great way to use up those apples or apple butter you bought during a visit to the orchard this fall 😊 The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the flatbreads on the baking sheet. Top each flatbread with ¼ cup of apple butter. Add more to taste. I like to use store-bought apple butter (from either a local apple orchard or grocery store) for convenience. You can use homemade apple butter if you prefer. Top each flatbread with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, spread evenly over the top. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the … Continue reading

BLT Naan Flatbread
If you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, I have the perfect recipe – BLT Naan Flatbread. It’s all the flavors of your favorite BLT sandwich but in flatbread form. Think soft and chewy naan flatbread in lieu of toasted bread, crispy bacon, crunchy lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and melted cheese. The mayonnaise is whisked into a lovely sauce to drizzle over the top. And it’s all ready in about 20 minutes or less. The recipe can be found here. Start by preparing the bacon according to package instructions. I like to bake or fry my bacon (kind of depends on the time I have and how much cleanup I want to do). Remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain the excess grease and cool. Once cool, chop into pieces. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the flatbreads on the baking … Continue reading

Cajun Baked Chicken Wings with Cajun Rice
Every now again we get a craving for some Cajun cuisine. Something spicy (but not too spicy), hearty, and full of favor. Chicken wings are an easy fit because they are simple to prepare and make a great meal when paired with a side, like Cajun Rice… We’re clearly getting our Cajun fix with this meal 😊 Cajun Baked Chicken Wings are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are marinated in a dry rub and baked to perfection before being tossed in a yummy Cajun butter sauce. Cajun Rice is very similar to Dirty Rice (if you are familiar) but without any meat. Hence the Cajun Baked Chicken Wings being the main course. The Cajun Rice is perfectly seasoned and spiced and is packed with plenty of onions and peppers. It’s an elevated rice that the whole family will love. Let’s walk through how to make each recipe. Cajun Baked Chicken Wings Start by making … Continue reading

Chicken with Parmesan Garlic Rice
Chicken with Parmesan Garlic Rice is a phenomenal weeknight meal! It combines pan seared chicken with a cheesy, garlic filled bed of rice. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and tender, the rice is soft and pillowy with lots of fragrant garlic and parmesan cheese mixed in, and it’s topped with fresh, crisp parsley. It’s delicious and I hope you give it a try! The recipe can be found here. Start by seasoning the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. I used chicken tenders but feel free to use boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs, if you prefer. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes (per side) or until cooked through and an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached. Remove the chicken to a place and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Set aside. Using the same skillet, melt … Continue reading

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

Apple Pickings
As colder weather sets in you are probably looking for something warm and filling to satisfy your cravings. It is apple season (so move over pumpkin spice) and I think apple is one of the best flavors of the season because it pairs well with many dishes. There are so many varieties of apples you are sure to find one that is your favorite and tastes great on a salad, or in a sandwich, or perhaps baked into a dessert. I like to create new recipes each fall that are themed around apples and have a few to share with you today: Slow Cooker Apple Cider Chicken & Apple Melts with Honey Mustard Gouda, Apple & Bacon Naan Flatbread Caramel Apple Cupcakes Slow Cooker Apple Cider is completely homemade. The base is water, you add chopped fruit and some mulling spices, turn on the slow cooker, and forget it overnight. Your house will … 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

Say Goodbye to Summer with Homemade Ice Cream
Summer is officially over, and fall is officially here! That means the temperatures are starting to drop, but it isn’t quite cold enough yet, to stop eating ice cream and enjoying some warmer weather treats. Before you finally put away your ice cream maker for the year, try out these 3 new ice cream recipes I’m going to share with you today. Banana Ice Cream Salted Caramel Ice Cream Frosted Animal Cookie Ice Cream Banana Ice Cream is rich, creamy, and has wonderful flavoring so don’t toss out those overly ripe bananas (and don’t save them for the banana bread you are never going to make, lol). Turn them into Banana Ice Cream instead! It’s delicious and tastes just banana pudding but in frozen form 😊 Banana is my dad’s favorite flavor to get in a shake or malt so I thought why not try making Banana Ice Cream that I can share with … Continue reading

All Things Pumpkin Spice!
It’s my favorite time of year! The weather is starting to cool down, the leaves are starting to change, and you can find pumpkin spice at just about any store. That’s what I’m talking about when I say my favorite time of year…. all things pumpkin spice. I love the flavor, but I also love that it’s available for a limited time, so it’s something I look forward to enjoying. I like to create a few new recipes each year that are pumpkin spice themed. Most are breakfast or dessert themed but that’s OK with me! Pumpkin spice is a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger. It’s sweet, spicy, warm, and cozy. Yes…cozy. Think of the feeling you get when you drink a hot cup of apple cider on a cool day. That’s a feeling I get when enjoying pumpkin spice food. Even better, the pumpkin spice recipes I’m going to share with you today are hearty and filling, … Continue reading

Hot Dog Grilled Cheese
Hot Dog Grilled Cheese is a wonderful combination of 2 classics – hot dogs and grilled cheese! Is it an elevated grilled cheese or is it an elevated hot dog? You tell me! They are super cheesy, have a crispy toasted bun, and can be made with any type of hotdog (beef, pork, turkey, etc.) …what’s not to love? I devoured 2 of these on my own and was still thinking about them the next day 😊 So, if you have picky eaters or have an argument about what’s for dinner every night, I highly recommend you give these Hot Dog Grilled Cheese sandwiches a try. They are sure to please everyone! The recipe can be found here. Start by heating a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Open both hot dog buns and use the palm on your hands to flatten slightly. Spread the outside of each bun with butter, making sure to completely coat the outside. Place the … Continue reading
