Fire up the broiler and call everyone for dinner! This one doesn't take long to get on the table at all! The reason...the meat in a cheesesteak is super thin and doesn't take long to cook at all. You'll spend more time slicing up the bell peppers than you will sauteing everything together! The flavors in this are simple, just as they should be. The only note I'll add … [Read more...]

Potato Chip Chicken Strips
Better. The best chicken strips I've ever made...maybe!? These homemade chicken strips are so, so, so, so much better than other chicken strips.

Grilled Fish Tacos & Slaw

Then you warm the corn tortillas on the grill. Then you make the tacos and load each one with a fresh coleslaw with a hint of dill. And if you're feeling crazy, you can toss on a little shredded mozzarella … [Read more...]
