Crunchy Dijon Cod
Oh my flavor. In general, I like fish. Milder fish is preferred. But when you add a ton of flavor and crunch, then I love fish. And by ton of flavor and crunch, I mean this. Dill, lemon, Dijon mustard. With some bread crumbs. Generously piled on top of a mild fish, like cod. YUM. This will not disappoint!!! Crunchy Dijon Cod Dill, lemon, Dijon … [Read more...]
Goat Cheese Apricot Stuffed Chicken
So we're going to classify this one as "budget gourmet." Because it's a gourmet flavor...done on a budget! This is actually one of our new MyFreezEasy recipes and it's ridiculously delicious. I had originally thought about doing a quick 'fry-saute' of the chicken before baking it. But...in the spirit of simplicity, I decided that a little salt and pepper on top was just … [Read more...]

Next level your BBQ pork chops by adding crushed pineapple into the BBQ sauce before baking them. Yes, it's that easy!

Who knows...it might become your new favorite family … [Read more...]
Baked Chicken Piccata
Holy flavor explosion. Like, whoa. I love these kinds of 'budget-gourmet' kinds of meals and I love that they are outside of my kiddos' 'food comfort zone.' And the best part about this one...it's so packed with flavor that everyone was licking their plates and asking for more. You could absolutely make this with boneless chicken thighs, or even boneless skinless chicken … [Read more...]
Orange Dreamsicle Smoothie
Ok. I'm in a fight with myself over this recipe title. Orange Creamsicle? Orange Dreamsicle? Or maybe I should just call it the Orange Julius Smoothie? (Because it tastes like that...and it tastes like the popsicle.) The popsicles are the creamsicles, but for whatever reason I think they are called dreamsicles. I have no idea where that's coming from. I almost … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Red Wine Beef Roast
Want to next level the flavor of your next beef roast? Douse it in red wine. A dry red wine, or a red cooking wine will work wonders on the beef, as it slow cooks the day away. This particular slow cooker beef roast recipe also calls for garlic (use sparingly!), fresh chopped chives and some baby potatoes. I've added a little beef broth to further deepen the flavors of the … [Read more...]
Apple Butter Glazed Chicken
I love simple food. I love food with both simple ingredients, simple flavors and a simple cooking method. I also love to explore with food and mix and match ingredients that I have on hand...and this is how this one came to be. I had some apple butter in the pantry and decided it would be delicious on chicken...with a few smoky additions. Bake this and serve it with some … [Read more...]
