By far, this is one of my favorite EASY recipes. No fancy cream sauce, no massive amounts of ingredients…just simple everyday items from your cupboard. I have found that brining my chicken breasts for 30 minutes to 1 hour before preparing the dish makes for tender and juicy chicken. This step is totally optional. If […]
Fried chicken using only 2 teaspoons of oil? Who “woulda thunk it” as they say! This recipe is specifically to be used with an air fryer. The chicken will be crispy, juicy and downright delicious. I like to serve mine with fried rice and a veggie or two. A special thanks to BiBi for sharing […]
When I was a teen, my stepmother made us some chicken and dumplings. Now, first I’ll tell you, my siblings and I were used to German style dishes…we never had anything like this, and being she was from the South, I figured this would be one of her specialties. Sadly, none of us cared for […]
If you’re looking for a meatless meal that’s quick and easy to prepare, and is darn right delicious, look no further!

If you like lip smacking good chicken, you’ve got to give this recipe a try. Normally I would not eat an anchovy, but through the years I have found that this hairy little fish packs a punch when blended with other ingredients. I have made this dish several times. The first time I didn’t have […]

Being born and raised in Chicago, I’ve become accustomed to deep dish pizza. Then I moved up north and couldn’t find anything that remotely resembled the deep dish pizza I craved. While watching “The Kitchen” on television, one of my favorite chefs, Jeff Mauro, made a classic, Chicago style pizza. A few days later, I […]
On a recent quest in search for something different to serve for dinner, I came across this recipe in a Rachael Ray magazine. It looked appetizing so I thought I’d give it a try. I cut the recipe in half because there’s just two of us, and there were leftovers. So I would venture to […]
What could be more satisfying than tender nuggets of beef, drenched in a rich, thick gravy, served over egg noodles or mashed potatoes? I recently came across a package of beef stew meat that needed to be cooked up, but I didn’t want stew or goulash. So, I visited one of my favorite recipe sites […]
