Oven Fried Chicken Recipe

June 5, 2013 by Admin 2 Comments

My plan was fried chicken the other night but we were late getting in from some things outside so dinner was on top of us and I didn’t have time! This is when the oven comes in handy and the chicken is still crispy for those who think “oven fried chicken” is not worth it. It is, my kids inhaled the chicken I just barely got a picture before little hands started nabbing all the chicken before my eyes.

It’s quick , it’s simple it’s dinner in under 45 minutes it’s Oven Fried Chicken!

ingredients

3 to 4lbs of chicken thighs

An Apple A Day – Cookbook Review

May 15, 2013 by Admin 1 Comment

If you haven’t heard of An Apple a Day by Karen Berman and Mellissa Petitto, you are going to really want to pay attention here!

We reviewed the awesome cookbook the last few weeks and I love everything about it. 365 days using apples whether it’s in a creative craft, fun facts, or recipes this book is jammed pack full of things you don’t want to miss. I tried several recipes including Apple Brownies, Pork Chops Smothered with Mushrooms and Apples ( my favorite!) and a few others which the family really enjoyed! My kids were blown away to know dishes held apples in them but I will admit they like the sweet treats more than anything.

This is the Dark Chocolate and Almond Crisp, it was so good!

With easy to follow directions tips and facts, you are presented with an easy reading cookbook that uses fairly everyday items that you will have laying around- this is very important to me! As a mother of four my days are incredible busy and at the last minute being able to grab a cookbook that will [Read more…]

FunBites ‘Cube It!’ Review & Giveaway

May 9, 2013 by Danielle 21 Comments

Having both a 1 year old and a 3 year old, I am always cutting something up to make someone happy. I must admit that it does take a lot time to get it all cut up. I have found one of the greats products available. Fun Bites cuts your food into bite size shapes quick and easily.

About Fun Bites:

Fun Bites was created by Bobbie Rhoads. Her and her husband realized that at meal times they would spend so much time cutting food into small shapes. They thought that it would be much easier if they had a product that could just press down into the food and bite size pieces would come out.

FunBites works on many different types of food. It works with meat, cheese, hamburgers, fruit, pancakes, fish, and the list could go on and on.

Fun Bites comes in 2 different options right now. You can get Cube It!, or you can even try Luv it!

My Thoughts:

Rice Broccoli Pot Pie

March 20, 2013 by Admin Leave a Comment

I adapted this recipe from my all time favorite dish my Grandmother has always made. Lately with spring rainy weather and some colds in the house I needed , hearty, warm comfort foods. This Rice broccoli casserole usually is topped with crackers, but I topped it off with a pie pastry to make a “pot pie” version and added in chicken pieces. My kids loved it!

Ingredients

2 packages frozen broccoli ( each 10 ounces each)

2 cups shredded cooked chicken

1 stick of butter

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 large onion

1 cup mushrooms

1 /2 cup milk

Snow Ice Cream!

February 24, 2013 by Danielle 11 Comments

Well, we have been wishing and hoping for snow for over 2 years now! We might get a little here and a little there, but I am happy to say that we finally got snow. Not only did we get snow, but we got 16+ inches of snow, and the possibility of more snow within the next couple of days.

Both of my daughters have really not seen much snow (sad to say, since we live in the Midwest), so they were a little apprehensive about playing in it, but finally were ready to get out and play all that we could.

I remember when I was a kid, we would always make snow ice cream when we got a big snow. I was so happy to get a big snow [Read more…]

The Digest Diet Review

January 30, 2013 by Admin 6 Comments

The Digest Diet is a 21 day weight loss plan, based on science, new foods and habits that can help the body release that unwanted fat. Along with the Digest Diet, we reviewed the Digest Cookbook which is full of easy quick, and tasty recipes to enjoy. If you get the Digest Diet book, I highly recommend getting the cookbook as well. There are great tips in both books so be sure to pick both. On average a dieter using the 21 day plan losing up to 26 lbs! The books contain the most up to date research and are full of good information to help you through the fight against fat.

My take on The Digest Diet and the Digest Diet Cookbook-

The cookbook itself holds plenty of recipes to pick from, from main meals, snacks to desserts that will help fill you up but also slim you down. The Digest Diet book (no the cookbook) itself has your 21 days’ worth of recipes as well. Everything you need to get started is in the first book, but I like the additional cookbook for the obvious reasons- it gives you more to choose from. There’s tips, even varieties to choose from so you can change up dinner plans in a flash. This right here is a must for any diet cookbook, not only do most families not have time, we cannot run to the store for things. The cookbook uses things that are mostly all on hand making it easier to use.

Throughout each book you break down habits, nutritional facts and aids to help you get in the right frame of mind to see areas you need to [Read more…]
