Are you looking for comfort food? Warm. Soothing. Even better if it’s super simple, right?
This baked casserole has the flavor of a more traditional chicken and dumplings, but because it’s baked in the oven is much more hands off. Leaving you time to prepare other things or read a book to your kids.
Have you ever needed to cook a large quantity of ground beef and wondered how to do it easily? It’s your lucky day!
This is not so much a recipe as it is a technique. And like all my favorite crock pot cooking, it requires very little effort…and that spread out throughout the day.
I have been on a bit of a freezer stocking mission lately. And having cooked ground beef stashed in the chill chest makes meal prep so quick!
Simple food cooked well is the heart of any home kitchen. You don’t need fancy ingredients or a culinary degree to make amazing meals.
I have been making this super easy juicy and delicious roasted chicken for years and it turns out perfectly every single time. Every. Single. Time.
It’s going to blow your mind how easy this roasted chicken is. And how tasty. I almost never make just one. Because, if you’re roasting one chicken, why not roast two? (I like to pick up mine in the two-packs at Costco).
Leftovers are divine in everything from chicken salad to jambalaya to creamy chicken & rice soup.
Do you use your grill as much as possible all summer like we do? For one thing, it tastes like summer on a plate. And for another, meals just don’t get easier! Add some fresh veggies, fruit and some bread, pasta or rice and dinner’s on the table.
Having a stash of meat in the freezer makes pulling something out to grill simple as well. I like to keep several options.
When I got word that my Chick-fil-A Mom Panel was being tasked with creating recipes for kids I knew just the little sweetie I wanted to help me make mine. After all, my kids are teenagers, and one is officially an adult (yikes!) so they don’t really qualify to help me out with ‘kids’ recipes. If you have littles, like my friend Scarlett here, you’ll want to work with them on this recipe. But if your kids are a bit older, this is totally something they could do on their own.
Do you remember where you’ve gotten most of your recipes? I remember a lot of them. Isn’t it fun, when you’re making something, to think back to where you got the recipe, or who you got it from?
I got this recipe for herb and garlic skillet chicken decades ago. Back when Barnes & Noble still had lots of big, comfy chairs in them, my husband and I used to go there for cheap, newlywed dates. I’d get a cup of coffee, and we’d sit for hours. Reading, talking about what we were reading. And since it was back before Pinterest, I would copy recipes from the magazines and books I’d read onto scraps of paper in my purse.
So I’m sorry to whoever created this recipe, but I didn’t record my sources….and, it’s been over 20 years.
