Skillet Sesame Chicken
Sesame Chicken just makes me smile. It is one of my most favorite take out options from my local Chinese restaurant. What is yours? Better than Take Out The beauty of this sesame chicken is that you know exactly what is going in it and you can change it up as needed. If you want it a little sweeter you can add in some brown sugar or more honey. If you want it less, then leave it out. Want it more acidic, throw in some lime. So many options. All in One Pan Once the chicken is marinated (which can be done is as little as 30 minutes)…

Today I Am Thankful For…
Today I am thankful for… Are you thankful? Were you thankful last year? 2020 was definately a year to remember. Each day I felt like I was learning a new lesson, some easier than others, but all good. I remember joking on New Years that 2021 “had to be better” … I mean right? And I was ready to see all 2021 had for me…. little did I know. Well… I am here to tell you that for me it is definately different than I ever anticipated. To start it all off the beginning of January we made the very difficult decision. We decided to put my mom in…

Sunday (or thursday or friday or monday) Pot Roast
Pot Roast is one of my most favorite Comfort foods. You know like cookies, casseroles or your favorite cake. Comfort food is all I am craving these days. I know I should be focusing on eating healthier and all that, but honestly all I want is food that warms my soul. Roast is one of my most favorite comfort foods and this roast is my MOST favorite. Fall Apart Pot Roast To me the mark of a GREAT pot roast is if it falls apart. I mean is there anything better than a super tender pot roast that literally falls apart when you stick a fork into it? I don’t…

Air Fryer Chicken – Your Go-To Chicken
Do you have an Air Fryer yet? I mean everywhere I look I am seeing new recipes, new tips and tricks & people raving about their air fryer. I resisted on getting one as I just didn’t want another small appliance taking up space, but then I started seeing everyone rave about the Air Fryer Instant Pot Lid. And let me tell you, I am so glad I did. Better than store bought… The beauty of making a rotisserie style chicken at home is that you can season it just how you want. You could use lemon pepper, or cajun, or just salt & pepper. This time around I used…

Cinnamon Roll Bites – Your New Go-To Breakfast
Cinnamon Roll Bites are the perfect Christmas morning breakfast. They are quick, easy and bring the wonderful aroma of homemade cinnamon rolls (like these) without all the work. It all starts with Biscuits… These delicious cinnamon roll bites start with canned biscuits. Yep, you read that right… canned biscuits. That is what makes this recipe so easy, you cut up canned biscuits. I used the grands buttermilk biscuits, but you could use whatever you have on hand. PS…Flaky biscuits would be pretty good I bet. Let’s talk Cinnamon & Sugar (& few little something extras) Growing up I ate A LOT of cinnamon toast and these Cinnamon Roll Bites…

Classic Iced Sugar Cookies
These Classic Iced Sugar Cookies are a MUST MAKE this Holiday Season. They are super tender, topped with a delicious icing with hints of vanilla bean in each bite and fun sprinkles. A perfect Holiday treat. No rolling here One of the things that annoys me about sugar cookies is having to roll them out. Rolling pins and I don’t have the best relationship. I tend to roll things too thin, or not thin enough…it just never seems to be right. With these cookies though there is no rolling…that is one of the reasons why I love these cookies. I also love how tender they are. Not so fragile they…

Santa’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cookies are a must make for all the time, but especially during the Holiday Season. These Santa’s Chocolate Chip Cookies are always at the top of my list. A little bit for Everyone For me a good chocolate chip cookie is a little crispy on the edges, soft in the center and loaded with tons of chocolatey goodness. My families favorite chocolate chip cookies are these, but let me tell you after they have these cookies they might just change their minds. Not only are these cookies crispy and soft but they are also loaded with tons of yummy. First I used semi-sweet chocolate chunks and then I threw…
