We try to use the grill as often as possible during the summer--I always feel like clean up is easier, and of course who wants to turn the oven or stove on when it's so hot outside?! One of our favorite weeknight recipes is to make sliders on the grill, and after years of trying different … [Read more...]

I have been trying to crack the homemade chicken nugget code for a while now. My kids have hated everything I've tried; they've complained that they were too spicy, the wrong texture or they just didn't "look" like chicken nuggets. Isn't a chicken nugget supposed to be made out of chicken? … [Read more...]

Like most of my recipes, this one is almost too easy to be called a recipe. It uses only three ingredients (five if you count salt and pepper!), but it's fresh, delicious, and unique.
