Hawaiian Pizza Chicken Tenders
These low carb Hawaiian Pizza Chicken Tenders will be a new weeknight favorite! They are all the flavors of a traditional Hawaiian pizza but without the crust. Instead, the ingredients are piled on top of chicken tenders and baked to perfection. The recipe is amazing! The chicken is moist and tender, the Canadian bacon is lean and a little salty, the marinara sauce is fresh and herby, the pineapple adds a wonderfully sweet flavor, and the mozzarella really brings it all together. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Season each chicken tender with salt and pepper or garlic powder. This step is optional, but I think it’s necessary to add flavor to the chicken. You could also use an Italian blend. Wrap one piece of Canadian bacon around each chicken tender. Place, seam side down, on the baking sheet. You can … Continue reading

Individual Dessert Cup 2.0
I previously posted a blog called Individual Dessert Cups where I discuss easy, no bake desserts that are mini-sized and served in 2oz cups. They are perfect for a holiday gathering (especially with Christmas and NYE coming up) or would make great treats for a birthday party, picnic, or even a bake sale.

You can make them in a variety of flavors, complete with cookie base, creamy filling, and themed toppings.

Chocolate Peppermint Trifles
Chocolate Peppermint Trifles are a wonderful no bake dessert for the holidays! Think layers of cookie crumbs, chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and crushed candy canes…it’s delicious! It’s a simple recipe that takes about 15 minutes to make and then sets in the fridge until ready to serve. I like to serve mine in 4-8oz trifle containers, but you could divide the pudding between 8-4oz containers to stretch it further. The recipe can be found here. Start by adding the Oreos to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse into fine crumbs then divided between 4 8oz trifle dishes (or 8 4oz dishes) and use the back of a spoon to press into the bottom. If you don’t care for mint flavoring, you can use regular Oreos for the base. Add the milk, chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding, and peppermint extract to a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside. The mixture will become thick. Same as before if you … Continue reading
