Wrapping Up Apple Month 🍏🍎

September 24, 2024

Hello and HAPPY FALL! I'm so happy we can officially say it's fall now! Today's post will be my last of the September apple recipes. I have 2 new recipes to share and then I'll give a quick run-down of all the apple recipes on my blog so you can have them in one post. Ok, here goes! Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake Pie Anyone opposed to starting with dessert? Good because I've got a delicious one to share today. It's Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake Pie and I try to make it sometime during the fall or for Thanksgiving. It is just heavenly! This recipe is by Brown Eyed Baker, and you can find the link here. Next is a savory Apple and Cheddar Stuffed Chicken that I love to make in ... Read more

Apple Brie Stuffed Chicken

September 10, 2024

Hey friends, I've got a delicious apple recipe today that you can put on your September "Apple Month" menu! Last night I was going to make a cheddar apple stuffed chicken recipe that is one of our favorite fall meals but decided late in the day to switch to a new recipe with brie cheese that I've wanted to try. This recipe is all over the internet so I wouldn't even know who to give credit to, and I made my own adjustments anyway. I'll give you a little run-through with photos and then attach the printable recipe. I washed and patted dry 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast and cut slits into them to create a pocket. Then I seasoned them lightly with salt and pepper, both sides plus ... Read more

Mongolian Stir-Fry at Home!

August 13, 2024

A restaurant that our family has come to enjoy is Yummi Yaki. Do you have one near you? We all love it! You pick your starch (rice or noodles) and then go through the buffet line to select your meats, veggies, sauce, and seasoning, and then hand it over to be stir-fried. It's comes to your table hot and savory and so delicious. It's a fun treat, but pricey for a family. But since getting a Blackstone, we can enjoy them at home! I do the prepping of the meats and veggies and my husband does the stir-frying. Everything is lined up on our kitchen island for each person to go through the "buffet" and fill their bowls with their desired ingredients. Then we take our bowls of ingredients ... Read more

Restaurant Chicken

October 19, 2023

Years ago, when our girls were little, we invited a few young families over on a summer evening for a meal around the patio. We had a pool at that house, so we told the kids they could bring their swimsuits to play in the pool while the parents visited and kept an eye on them. We grilled herbed chicken and served it with good summer side dishes. When the food was ready, we prayed and let the children eat on towels in the yard. At some point during our meal conversation, one of the kids yelled across the yard, "Mom, did you try this chicken? It tastes like it came from a restaurant!" We all had a good laugh and ever since that night, our family has referred to this chicken simply as ... Read more

Cook by the Book: Between Seasons Luncheon

September 16, 2022

Welcome back! In my last post I began to share a little about a luncheon my daughter and I prepared for my mom and my mother-in-law for Grandparents Day. Today I'd like to share the recipes. And since we're between seasons right now I selected recipes that would blend summer and fall! Also, as I've mentioned before, I'm challenging myself to use my cookbooks more, so I planned my entire menu from cookbook recipes. It was true lady food! Between Seasons Menu Rosy Raspberry Soup Chicken Salad Croissants, Broccoli Salad, and Cheese Straws Apple Raspberry Iced Tea Hummingbird Cake & Coffee The first cookbook I want to feature is actually not even a true cookbook but a ...

Cook by the Book: Magnolia Table’s Chicken & Fettuccine Alfredo

September 8, 2022

Hello, friends! I'm back with another new recipe from a cookbook! This is my challenge to myself to pull those cookbooks off the shelf and refer to them when I'm needing a recipe rather than just automatically googling what I'm looking for. Not that there's anything wrong with using the internet or Pinterest! But I tire of looking at screens and I have a nice collection of cookbooks which I've either picked up at different vacation spots or received as gifts from family or friends. One of those gifts has been Joanna Gaines's Magnolia Table! My younger girly gave me this lovely cookbook last year and it is wonderfully homey and sort of farmish! One week during our summer break I told my ... Read more

Cook by the Book: Mahogany Chicken

September 1, 2022

Labor Day is coming up this weekend so for my "Cook by the Book" challenge this week I decided to feature none other than something off the grill: Mahogany Chicken from Williams-Sonoma's Essentials of Grilling! This is a cookbook the kids and I gave my husband for Father's Day one year. He has used it many times, but I have not so I decided to flip through and get some inspiration for a good grilled chicken dish! Really, they had me at the word "mahogany" based on the idea of the color alone. The thought of a mahogany glaze made my mouth water, just imagining the tasty components that might go into it to produce a rich reddish-brown sauce! I skimmed through the ingredient list and had all ... Read more

One Week. Six Meals.

September 3, 2020

I love menu-planning! But sometimes I get into ruts and find it helpful to look at menus posted on other blogs and Instagram. Seeing what other women are cooking really inspires and motivates me to get in the kitchen. Last month I participated in the 31-day "Happy Homemaker Challenge" on Instagram, hosted by Whitney at Come Home for Comfort, and one of the photo prompts was called "On the Menu". So after posting my menu for the week, I thought I might as well snap a photo of each night's meal and post them here. Our weeks are pretty busy, but I still want to put healthy meals on the table. These are a few of my easy go-to's for quick, healthy weeknight meals. Monday~ Greek turkey ... Read more
