As a food blogger I see hundreds of new recipes every week. It’s just part of the job, and one I absolutely enjoy. I love seeing what other bloggers are busy creating in their kitchens. Last week I spotted this luscious looking dish! Everything about it looked amazing! From the crispy golden pan seared chicken thighs (I love the flavor of chicken thighs) to the scrumptious sweet honey garlic sauce! The word “Easy” was thrown in for added enticement and I took the bait! I’m SO glad I did! You will be too! This is one amazingly easy, flavorful, and inexpensive dish! You have got to try this one friends! Trust me. You do don’t ya?
Easy Recipes
I love a recipe that can be made into two different meals. Both equally delicious. Life is crazy busy so if I can get two meals out of one recipe I’m all in! How about you?
These stuffed shells bounce off the back of my recipe for Crock Pot Meatballs With Sauce. One night you can have meatball subs or spaghetti and meatballs, the other these amazing cheese stuffed shells, covered in sauce with tender Parmesan and beef meatballs. It’s the perfect dish to add your busy weeknight meal plan!
I love food! All food…but I really love comfort food! I know… it’s a word that’s tossed around a lot in the blogging world, but in all fairness, I have to say that the majority of foods fill a need. For some it’s comfort, for others happiness, joy, sorrow, sadness, or stress. I mean food feeds our emotions, as well as our bellies! If it didn’t there wouldn’t be so many foodies out there all looking for that one optimal dish.
One of my favorite “comfort” foods is Chicken Pot Pie. Maybe it’s the memories of those little frozen pies by banquet when I was kid, or maybe it’s because the combination of ingredients is like Thanksgiving in a pie shell? Whatever the reason, it’s still a favorite. I spent years looking for the perfect recipe and then just decided to make my own. I wanted one loaded with “the good stuff”! Lots of meat, vegetables, and a creamy gravy, all packed inside the perfect flaky crust. I hope you’ll agree…this pot pie is the perfect “comfort food”!
Cold enough out there for you? Craving a hot warm hearty bowl of Soup? One that is more than just a bowl of soup, a meal? I’ve got just the recipe! It’s chocked full of beef, noodles, rich Italian broth, and topped with cheese and fresh basil. This deliciously rich and flavorful Italian Beefy Noodle Soup is easy to make. It’s the perfect winter meal. Throw in a side of garlic Parmesan bread sticks for dunking and it’s over the top Fab!
I’m kicking off this cold Monday with one of my all time favorite Pinterest finds! Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup! It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s delicious! If you don’t think you can cook… this is your recipe! It’s rich, creamy, and the perfect comfort food for a cold winters day. I like to call it “snow day” soup but, you can just call it wonderful!
Nothing goes with a warm bowl of chili or taco soup on a cold winter’s day, like a moist piece of buttery sweet corn bread! In the South it’s a staple on every Holiday dinner table. Today I’m sharing my favorite recipe for corn bread. It’s sweet! It’s moist! It’s buttery! And most of all…it’s GOOD!
We’re kicking Monday off right! I have the perfect easy weeknight recipe for your Nest. Easy Chicken Parmesan! I discovered this recipe years ago while sitting in the dentist office! (Yuck!) Of course I had to add my own twist and kick it up a notch or two, but it’s still super simple to throw together and it’s sure to be a hit at your dinner table!
I love cinnamon sugar donuts! Unfortunately I am always craving them on a Saturday morning when the last thing I want to do is get showered and dressed and run the 15 miles into town to grab one! So I always keep a handy dandy can of Pillsbury Grand Biscuits around so when the craving hits, and trust me…it will, I am ready to make these easy quick and delicious donuts!
I’m starting 2017 off with this beautiful healthy (it has green in it) delicious Shrimp Taco Salad! This is my own creation and I’m pretty darn proud of it! If I do say so myself. It’s light and packed full of amazing flavors. Starting with the marinated fresh shrimp down to the creamy lime avocado cilantro dressing! Get ready to have a flavor party in your mouth! It’s divine and super easy!
I made an executive North Pole decision! I decided the Santa at your Nest would rather have hot tender Italian flavored Roast Beef Sandwiches on toasted hoagie rolls with melted provolone cheese, sauteed onions, sweet peppers, and mushrooms, than sugar cookies and milk! I’m not saying it’s cause I don’t have my Christmas cookies ready to post…NOPE…that’s not it at all! Come on admit it…your Santa would rather have one of these sandwiches any way. Right?!!!
