Italian Chicken

I had kind of forgotten about this little recipe until I picked an old magazine to go through - it's getting so old and used that the pages are falling out, so I thought I better get to the recipes in there first. It is super easy and very yummy. I did it this time over rice, but I have also done it over Fettuccine Alfredo with great results too.

Chicken With Mustard Sauce

For not being a huge meat eater, I actually liked this dish quite a bit. It was super easy and quick to make and paired very well with a simple spinach salad. The next day it made a great sandwich too, with the leftover pieces.... I think I need pretty plates though, if I'm gonna be taking pictures of my food ;o)

Cheesy Chili Popcorn

We're always looking for a fun girls night snack while we are playing games and watching movies. This was our second experiment with popcorn. Jess is addicted to popcorn, so it's fun to come up with different ways to eat it. This is great if you are in the mood for something salty with a little extra flavor.

Southwest Chicken Wraps

This is a perfect little wrap for a picnic - which is what we did with it last weekend. Packed full of veggies and protein from chicken and black beans it's actually pretty healthy for you to boot.

Sugar Free BBQ Sauce

I haven't eaten BBQ sauce in forever because it is usually loaded with so much sugar. Not that I don't like it, I just don't like to have a lot of sugar in my diet. For Father's Day I was playing around with making some as a present, because Aaron feels the same way I do, and I think I hit on a winner. Tasty without all of the added sugar traditional BBQ sauces has.

Beef Stew

There is something so magical about the crock pot. Throw ingredients in first thing in the morning, go about your business, and then at dinner time... Done! I love that. Especially when you have an extremely busy day like I just got done having. As everyone knows, I'm not a huge meat eater, but if there is meat in something I do great with it. Stew is the perfect fit for all of the above.

Chocolate Chip

These are the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever eaten in my life - and I've eaten a lot! My sister-in-law gave me this recipe years ago, and I have never gone back. Healthy it is not, but hello..... cookie.

With vanilla pudding in the dough it makes your cookies extremely soft (I HATE crispy cookies!!!) and has an extra wonderful vanilla flavor.

Cinnamon and Sugar Popcorn

Jessica and I have started girls nights every Tuesday. Jeff works and Aaron has band practice, so we make sure to keep our calendars free on that night to spend together. Usually we use this night to catch up on our episodes of "Fringe" but since the season is over we have been using it as a chick flick night. What better thing to go with a movie than popcorn!

Try this for your next movie night, it's great!
