This week I had a couple extra chicken breasts defrosted and needed to do something with them. So I decided to give the munchkins a special treat and make chicken fingers for dinner. I don't know what magical property chicken fingers have - but it seems that every kid in the history of the universe… Continue reading Ultimate Chicken Fingers

Banana Fritters with Spiced Glaze
I like to go all out on Saturday mornings. It's really the only day of the week I can do breakfast up right with all the fixins' since Monday thru Friday mornings are a mad dash of bodies, backpacks, missing socks, frantically gulped coffee and hastily applied mascara as I scramble to get my kids… Continue reading Banana Fritters with Spiced Glaze
Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili
Am I the only one who always always always gains weight between November and January? It's very irritating. You'd think with as many treats as I make all year-long, my body would be accustomed to constantly noshing on goodies. But no. Hello spare tire. Back again? Wonderful.

Anna’s Amazing Jalapeno Jelly
My mom-in-law makes amazing canned goods. I've been enjoying her jams, pickled beans, asparagus and salsa for years. The one thing I have never tried is her jalapeno jelly.

I went searching for some… Continue reading Cornmeal Biscuits
