Chicken Creole

I love a good cajun meal. Being raised in South East Texas I was exposed to cajun food on a regular basis. I have an Aunt that lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for years and she has started to pass down some of her amazing Cajun creations. This recipe was originally intended to make shrimp […]
Hallmark Ice Cream Fried Chicken Bites

I watched a Hallmark movie last night! It was an awesome movie as always! It gave me an idea for a new recipe. In the movie, a chef used ice cream cones in the breading of fried chicken. What an awesome idea! I decided to create a new recipe using that idea. I must say, […]
Cashew Chicken Bowl

I recently reached the point of foraging for food in my kitchen! Like an episode of “Chopped”, I have gotten into finding things and trying to come up with something good to eat. This recipe is inspired by a close to expiration bottle of Newman’s Own Sesame Ginger Dressing and a son that asked for […]
Easy King Ranch Casserole

Tonight I decided to take what was left of a rotisserie chicken and make a simple variation of my King Ranch Casserole. It is amazing what you can come up with when you are really trying to stretch the food you have in your home. It turned out awesome! You should give it a try. […]
Cajun Chicken Chili

In these uncertain times, I find myself looking for recipes that are easy and don’t contain ingredients that are getting hard to find. When I made this the other night all of the things I needed were already in my pantry or freezer. This recipe can be made really quick in one pot or you […]

This type of cooking is something probably learned while standing beside your grandmother or your mom. Fried Chicken can be made with flour and milk or with flour and buttermilk or […]
Easy Chicken Spread Appetizer

So, I really didn’t have any plans for the Super Bowl. Just hang with my husband and my son for the day… and then my son says “Hey Mom, can some friends come over and watch the game?”. Of course, I say. “No problem”, I say. Next sentence, “Great Mom, they want to know what […]
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Just recently my mom called me to tell me she had pneumonia! Scary, right? Well, after I made sure she was taking care of herself, my next thought was to make her some chicken noodle soup. So, I made up a pot full and took it to her. This is a simple recipe that is […]
Chicken and Spinach Lasagna

This chicken and spinach lasagna dish happened because I had a bag of mozzarella cheese leftover in the fridge and had no idea what I was going to use it in. We already had my homemade pizza a few nights ago, and I didn’t feel in a baked ziti mood so, chicken and spinach lasagna […]
Chicken Pot Pie

How about some Chicken Pot Pie? At the restaurant, Sunday lunch was huge, and one of the most popular menu items was the Chicken Pot Pie. Made from scratch and served on top of my scratch buttermilk biscuits, it sure does hit the spot. We call this “southern comfort food” because it fills you up and […]
