So this OG recipe straight from my Mom’s cookbook does not specify *how* to cook the chicken that goes in the casserole. I do remember when I was a kid, she would boil the chicken for this recipe (I remember it because I HATE the smell of boiling chicken) lol! I do also remember her […]

This is one of my staples that I make about every other week. It’s so versatile. You can serve this shredded chicken over Texas Toast, on Hawaiian rolls as sliders, BBQ chicken tacos, you name it! The liquid smoke is what makes it in my opinion, so don’t leave it out! If you need a

Few things I love in life more than a one pot meal! This one is so easy, and always a hit! (even with the picky eaters!)

A few things to note: if you don’t have the jumbo size taco seasoning on hand at all times and you prefer to buy the individual packets – 1/2 cup equals 2 packets. Also, boiling chicken does not smell good, so go ahead and light your best 3-wick candles now! It’s temporary, and the smell

I grew up with Tater Tot Casserole being a staple weeknight dish. This is similar to that recipe, with a little Fiesta Flare! To note – ever since I have discovered Bush’s Beans Sidekicks I have been using them in most recipes that call for beans. But you can also use regular black beans for this

For this Sausage & Shrimp Jambalaya I use a very specific shrimp. I do not know what I will do or how I will make jambalaya if Publix Supermarket ever stops making this shrimp. If anyone has suggestions or a good Cajun shrimp recipe, please drop it in the comments below!  Anyway, this recipe is

This recipe is in my regular rotation, because it’s so easy and so delicious. Truly a “set it and forget it” meal. A little note: I do not actually measure out the 2 Tbsp of chicken broth. I just splash a little bit in the bottom of the Crockpot, and use the remaining broth (instead

Italians, do not come for me! I am using the term “homemade” loosely here, lol! I have never found a jar spaghetti sauce that I really like, so I took matters into my own hands. No, I’m not crushing tomatoes… but this is quick and easy, and it’s delicious! You can add meat if you
