Crunchy pretzel chicken bites on black plate

Pretzel chicken bites recipe

These pretzel chicken bites make a great appetizer or dinner. The chicken is cut into small chunks and then coated first in flour, then dipped in egg and then rolled in crushed pretzels. The best part about this recipe, the chicken is baked and not fried! The pretzels may be a little difficult to crush. A good option would be to crush them with a rolling pin. You can also use a food processor or blender to break them up into fine chunks. I used the blender to crush them but I made sure not to blend too much because I wanted some pieces of pretzel left and not just fine crumbs. These chicken bites go great served with honey-mustard dipping sauce. Enjoy.

Almond thumbprint cookies recipe

These almond thumbprint cookies are great to prepare for Christmas! There are three parts to this recipe- the dough, the filling, and the glaze. You will want to plan ahead for this recipe because the dough needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours before preparing the cookies for baking. You can prepare the dough the night before and make the cookies in the morning if you wish. The filling is simply raspberry jam but you can use other flavors as well—I used raspberry, apricot, and blackberry. The glaze is a combination of confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla or almond extract. Enjoy.

BBQ cheddar stuffed meatballs recipe

These BBQ cheddar stuffed meatballs are a very delicious dinner to prepare. These meatballs use ingredients such as ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk onion, and garlic. The meat mixture is formed and then cubes of cheddar cheese are pressed into the center of the meatballs. Try and form the meat mixture around the cheese chunks as well as possible to avoid leaks. Chances are some of the cheese will leak out but you don’t want it all too. These meatballs are fully cooked in the oven, no pan-frying is required. The BBQ sauce is homemade and uses common ingredients which you may already have on hand. I like to serve these meatballs with macaroni and cheese. Enjoy.

Sausage and herb stuffing recipe

If you are looking for a delicious stuffing recipe for the holidays, this one is perfect. I prepared this sausage and herb stuffing for Thanksgiving this year and it was a big hit. What makes this stuffing so amazing is the use of fresh herbs such as sage, rosemary and parsley and the use of sweet Italian sausage. This recipe uses pre-made stuffing cubes to help save time and makes this dish easy to prepare. Onions, garlic, and celery are sautéed in butter and then added to the bread cubes along with various ingredients. The sausage is cooked in the same skillet as the celery and onion mixture. Once the ingredients are mixed with the stuffing cubes, the dish is placed into the oven and baked until golden brown on top. The top of the casserole should be brown and crunchy. Enjoy.

Kfc coleslaw recipe

One of the best side dishes at KFC is their coleslaw. With this recipe, you can make your own KFC coleslaw right at home. Not only is this a great copycat recipe but it is perhaps one of the better coleslaws that I have tasted. A lot of the flavor comes from white vinegar, lemon juice, mayonnaise, and buttermilk. For the carrots, I used a cheese grater to shred them but you could also use a knife and slice them into very thin strips. For the best results, you will want to allow the coleslaw to be refrigerated for several hours or overnight to allow the flavor to develop before serving. This coleslaw makes a great side-dish. Enjoy.

Alabama smokehouse burger recipe

The Alabama smokehouse burger consists of a grilled seasoning pork patty, provolone cheese, bacon, Alabama white barbecue sauce, and iceberg lettuce. The Alabama white sauce really adds a nice flavor to this amazing burger. The BBQ sauce is a combination of mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and pepper. The ground pork is mixed with seasonings such as smoked paprika, chili powder and cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.

Mozzarella stuffed meatballs served over spaghetti with marinara

Mozzarella stuffed meatballs recipe

Meatballs get even better when they are stuffed with mozzarella cheese. The meatballs are cooked in the slow cooker right in the spaghetti sauce. You can use either your favorite brand of sauce or even make your own. The meatballs use two different types of meat—spicy Italian sausage and ground beef. I really like the flavor that the Italian sausage adds to this recipe. Try to form the ground beef mixture as well as you can around the cheese cubes so that it does not leak out while cooking. However, it is normal for some of the cheese to come out. I like to serve these meatballs with spaghetti noodles. Enjoy.

Pumpkin French toast recipe

Pumpkin French toast makes a great breakfast for the colder months and the holidays. This is very similar to classic French toast but uses ingredients such as pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie seasoning to make the French toast taste like a pumpkin pie! I like to use Texas toast for this recipe but you could use sliced French bread as well. You can use either a nonstick skillet or a griddle for this recipe. I prefer a griddle because I can cook several pieces of the toast at ounce. Once the French toast is cooked I like to top it off with a little maple syrup and whipped cream. Enjoy.

Doritos chicken bites recipe

The use of Doritos chips makes a great breading for chicken bites. The Doritos chips are put into a food processor and blended until they are very fine crumbs.

This ravioli casserole reminds me of lasagna. Cheese ravioli is layered with a meat sauce and mozzarella and parmesan cheese in a casserole dish and then baked in the oven. The meat sauce is homemade and gets a lot of its flavor from Italian sausage. You can use your favorite brand of ravioli for this recipe. If you are looking for an easy meal, this casserole is easy to prepare and the only real work that is required is preparing the sauce. Serve with garlic bread. Enjoy.

Carolina slaw dogs recipe

Carolina Slaw Dogs
Caroline Slaw Dogs are hot dogs topped with beanless chili, coleslaw and mustard. The chili combines ground beef with various ingredients such as onion, tomato paste, ketchup and many more. The coleslaw just uses a basic cabbage and carrot mixture. If you want you can just buy a bag of shredded cabbage and carrots or chop the vegetables yourself. Of course, you can save time by purchasing pre-made coleslaw and canned chili for this recipe but I recommend making both fresh. The hot dogs can be boiled in water or grilled, whichever you would prefer. Serve with potato chips. Enjoy.

Chili pasta bake topped with melted cheese and green onions

Chili pasta bake recipe

This chili pasta bake makes a delicious and easy dinner and if you want to prepare enough to feed a lot of people the ingredients can easily be doubled. Preparing this recipe is simple—a ground beef mixture is prepared on the stovetop and mixed with cooked pasta shells and then placed into a casserole dish and topped off with shredded cheese. The ground beef mixtures get a lot of its flavor from chili powder and cumin. You can either use kidney beans or black beans for this recipe, I prefer black beans. You can also experiment with different types of cheeses on top—I like a Mexican cheese blend. This dish goes great served with sour cream and green onions on top. Enjoy.
