Ranch chicken BLT sandwich recipe
This sandwich is a lot like the ranch chicken BLT from McDonald’s restaurant. If you are not familiar with this sandwich, it is fried chicken topped with bacon, lettuce, tomato and ranch dressing. I honestly do not eat at McDonald’s much but this is one of my favorite sandwiches when I do. For frying the chicken you can use a deep-pot or a deep-fryer. For the best results I would recommend using a deep-fryer if you have one. If you end up with thick chicken breasts, you could just cut one in half instead of using four. You can use your favorite brand of bottled ranch for this recipe. Enjoy.

Pork chops with mushroom gravy recipe
I always enjoy a delicious recipe for pork chops with gravy. This recipe consists of breaded, fried pork chops that are topped with mushroom gravy.

The mushroom gravy is prepared in the same skillet and uses ingredients such as chicken broth and milk. I like to use boneless pork chops that are thin cut for this recipe. You can also use boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of pork if you would prefer. If you are using chicken breasts you will want to make sure the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F. when they are finished cooking. You can serve this recipe with mashed potatoes. Enjoy.

Meatballs and marinara recipe
Preparing meatballs and marinara sauce is a great idea for dinner. This recipe does require a little bit of effort but it is well worth it. The homemade marinara sauce uses crushed tomatoes and gets a lot of its flavor from onion, garlic, oregano and basil. The meatballs use classic Italian ingredients such as parmesan cheese, Italian sausage, hamburger, and parsley. The meatballs are browned in the oven so there is no need to fry them in hot oil. After the meatballs are browned they are placed into the marinara sauce to simmer until fully cooked. This recipe will make about 8 to 10 servings, so you will be able to feed a large crowd or have leftovers. You can also freeze the meatballs and marinara for up to 1 month. You can serve the meatballs and sauce over pasta such as spaghetti or linguini. I also like to serve them with garlic bread. Enjoy.
