Chicken Cordon Bleu Quesadillas
Chicken Cordon Bleu Quesadillas are a simplified version of the classic dish. You still get the amazing layers of ham, cheese, chicken, and Dijon sauce but this time it’s sandwiched between 2 tortillas and cooked until crisp. Think easy to assemble and fuss free! The recipe can be found here. Start by making the Dijon sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour. Then, slowly pour in the milk while whisking. Add the bouillon cube and continue to whisk until dissolved. Add the mustard and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm on the lowest burner setting while you prepare the quesadillas. This stuff is good enough to drink! Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add one tortilla. Add one slice of cheese (or more if you like). Add 2-3 … Continue reading

French Onion Chicken Skillet
French Onion Soup is one of my favorite soups, so I thought, why not try to make a slight variation and create a tasty weeknight meal. The end result is French Onion Chicken Skillet. It’s made with caramelized onions, juice chicken, yummy broth, and deliciously melted cheese. It’s a great meal option and leaves you with some tasty leftovers. The recipe can be found here. Start by heating oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. You can adjust the seasonings to your taste later on in the recipe. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to caramelize. This should take about 15-20 minutes. There is nothing better than the aroma of onions caramelizing and knowing you will get to enjoy every last morsel! Add the garlic to the skillet and stir to combine (another amazing smell!). Cook for … Continue reading

It’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time!
Growing up I always loved a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I mean, who didn’t? It was a staple in my daily life and it’s making a comeback. However, instead of sandwich form I’m pairing it with another food I love. What for it……chicken wings. Yes, peanut butter and jelly chicken wings. A little louder for those in the back…PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CHICKEN WINGS! The recipe can be found here. These wings are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and will satisfy any craving. They are the perfect combination of sweet and spicy while being incredibly savory. The chicken wings are coated in a delicious peanut sauce and the raspberry jelly dipping sauce brings it all together. The combination of peanut butter, jelly, and chicken might sound weird, but I strongly suggest putting your hesitation aside and giving these wings a try! Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F and lining … Continue reading

Tasty Tostadas
If you need a fun new dinner idea, are looking for an appetizer for a party, or simply want to have Mexican night at home, Tostadas are the way to go! They are very versatile yet simple and easy to make. Tostada is the Spanish word for toasted, which fits the description perfectly, because a toasted (or deep fried) tortilla is the base of the dish. You then top the tortilla with beans, cheese, meat, lettuce, fruit, and other toppings. Basically, you want to pile the ingredients high and dig in…. these are meant to be messy! One of my favorite Tostada recipes is for BBQ Chicken Tostadas. These are served warm and I think that’s part of the appeal for me. I love the combination of melted cheese, tender chicken, and tangy BBQ sauce in every bite. They are also fairly light so you will be satisfied without feeling … Continue reading

Instant Pot Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal that tastes JUST like it came from a restaurant? I have you covered! I want to share my recipe for Instant Pot Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo that comes together in 30 minutes or less and is something the whole family will enjoy. The recipe can be found here. In the bowl of an Instant Pot, add chicken broth, heavy cream, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Break the noodles in half and place in the Instant Pot. Use a spoon to gently push down the noodles to cover with the liquid. You don’t want to press too hard or you’ll break the noodles and you also don’t need to stir the ingredients at this point. You want to use pre-cooked chicken for this recipe. If you don’t have any pre-cooked chicken breasts, make sure to either bake them or fry them before starting … Continue reading

Roasted Red Pepper Rigatoni
Roasted Red Pepper Rigatoni is a sweet yet savory pasta dish with a lovely roasted red pepper sauce that is ready in about 20 minutes. The sauce is creamy, the roasted red peppers add a bold flavor, and the noodles are perfectly cooked, al dente. It’s easy to make and creates and explosion of flavor with every bite. The recipe can be found here. Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Make sure to salt the water! Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions. Stir once you’ve added the noodles and again every few minutes to ensure the noodles aren’t sticking together. Once the noodles are cooked al dente, then are done. Drain the noodles and return to the pot. While the pasta is cooking, add butter to a large skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, … Continue reading

Oven Baked Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
Taquitos are a fun hand-held treat that are crunchy and delicious. You can customize the filling and change up the flavors to create different versions of the same dish and cook them in different ways. They can be deep fried, baked in an oven or cooked in an air fryer. I bet you could even use an Instant Pot, but I haven’t figured that recipe out yet 🙂 I’ve use Taquitos as both an appetizer and dinner. They work well as an appetizer if you are hosting a party and want finger foods or if you plan to bring them to a potluck. They are a quick grab-and-go item as you typically don’t need a plate or silverware. Dinner is also an option if you want the Taquitos to be the main event. I think you can convert anything into Buffalo Chicken so that is the recipe I want to … Continue reading

Christmas Dinner
Normally by mid-December we would have a plan for Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas Day brunch, and Christmas Day dinner…. it’s a busy 2 days to say the least!
