It’s beginning to feel like Fall! With school starting back up and the leaves changing color, I’ve been craving good old home style comfort food! The kind Grandma use to make. This Chicken Rice casserole has long been a family favorite and fits the bill perfectly! Even your picky eaters are going to love this simple easy to make casserole.

I asked… You answered! Several months ago I asked my readers which main course dish they wanted me to share. I gave you several choices and your overwhelming response was “Taquitos!” It took me a little longer than I had hoped to get this up on the blog but, without further delay…here is my recipe for Taquitos. (Thanks for your patience!) The favorite Mexican dish of every bird at my Nest! So easy to make you’ll wonder why you’ve waited so long to try them!
I’m sharing my “Nest’s” favorite dinner roll recipe! It’s a copy cat of the Lion House recipe that my sister-in-law, Debbie, shared with me years ago. It makes the most wonderful traditional dinner rolls you’ll ever have! They are huge, fluffy, and melt in your mouth moist! Slap some butter and raspberry jam on them and it’s the next best thing to heaven on earth! The best part…you make the dough in your bread machine! WoooHooo! You remember bread machines right?
It’s Monday and time to share my all time favorite summer “go-to” salad! Fresh tomatoes are in season! This salad is perfect for helping you use up that garden overload! It’s simple, it’s easy, it’s full of flavor, and it makes any level cook look like a gourmet chef! If you love fresh tomatoes,avocados, and have a secret love-affair with cheese…this simple beautiful salad is for YOU!
I. Love. Pastries! Especially French Pastries! Too bad I can’t just pop on over to France and grab a box full! The great news is with this awesome apple danish you don’t have to. With just one can of crescent rolls and this quick easy fresh apple filling you can bring the “danish love” to your Nest’s kitchen! You are going to love how easy this recipe is and how delicious! With apple season right around the corner you’re gonna want to make this delicious breakfast treat often!
Tuesday Tips is a post I will be doing on the 1st Tuesday of every month! So mark your calendar’s! (wink, wink) Today’s tip is for all you mommy’s out there with little ones. It’s summertime and we are all craving cool treats! From Ice Cream cones to Popsicles, and my favorite, Snow Cones. What about our “littles”? Don’t they deserve a treat too. One that won’t melt all over them and you before they can finish it? I’ve created these healthy yummy “Baby” popsicles! Perfect for baby, toddlers or even your smaller kiddos. Perfect for those “teethers” too! Best part…they are made with fresh fruit and 100% baby fruit juice and they’re super duper easy to make…come take a peek! My model is pretty darn stinkin’ cute!
After a weekend spent with my favorite Carb buddies I decided it was time to find my inner carnivore! I’m sharing one of my all time favorite pork
recipes! Parmesan Crust Pork Chops. They’re ready in minutes from stove top to table! They have a wonderful golden crispy coating outside, and are tender and juicy inside! The perfect recipe for novices or experts chefs alike.
It’s the weekend! Time to celebrate with this easy breakfast treat! These delicious raspberry chipotle filled sugar donuts are just what this weekend calls for! They are super easy to make with only 5 ingredients and you can fill them with whatever you like! If Chipotle isn’t your thing…no sweat! Come join me and my “carb lover’s” addiction by whipping up a batch of these amazing gems! You’re gonna thank me! Come on…ya know ya want to!
I love sticky finger licking, lip smacking, buffalo chicken tenders. The kind they serve at a certain “wing” place…yeah, those! Well, I’ve taken those and added them to a salad (that just erased all the guilt..it’s in the handbook…mix fried foods with greens and greens win!) and used all my other favorite wing sides to go with it! It makes for one mouthwatering salad that is perfect in this killer heat! I don’t know about you but, I really think I’m melting! Which makes this salad just the dish to make for dinner. It quick and easy… and it won’t heat up your kitchen…even better!
Last week I needed to come up with a dinner in a hurry! I had a hangry man coming home and I forgot to pull something out of the freezer! Yikes! (This ever happen to anyone else?) So, I went digging in the fridge and this is what happened! One AMAZING hot sandwich that is a quick, easy, and fantastically delicious meal!
