Our Favorite Chicken Pot Pie

Few things are more comforting than crescent rolls with yummy chicken goodness. There are many ways you can make chicken pot pie. I've tried several ways and the winning method was one I adapted by taking some from Joanna Gaines' recipe and some from another recipe I already had. I've made it with ready-made pie crust - both one-crust and two-crust. It just pales in comparison to the crescent roll top.

I love how you can customize the dish to however small or large you want. You might even want to add hard boiled egg! That would be a "No" for my husband, but bring on more peas and he's happy. It's definitely a great supper for any time of the year!

A Southern Girl's Chess Squares

So my last post was about healthy food and this one, well, is not so much! But it's such a popular dessert I had never made, that I decided this was my opportunity. This weekend is Family Reunion weekend and my husband's extended family is quite extensive! Lots of people. Lots of food. So why make chess squares? Well, first of all, I am sure they will all be eaten so fewer calories for me lol. Secondly, I have been wanting to try them because some time ago my sister-in-law made some and my youngest step-daughter raved about them. So, this post is dedicated to Molly! Three things I know that Molly likes are butter, sugar, and cheese! This recipe is a creative combination of those ingredients plus just 2 more. Super easy. Mine didn't look ready after even 50 minutes so I put them under a low broil for a couple of minutes to get the browning on the top. I let them cool overnight and cut them with a plastic knife. These don't have to be refrigerated and can stay in an airt...

Baja Chicken Bowl - Low carb

I love the Baja chicken bowl at Panera! Not until I decided to make one myself did I realize why. I love the combination of hearty quinoa, the zing of grape tomatoes, corn and Verde salsas, and lime - balanced with my favs avocado and feta - then topped with a dollop of magical Greek yogurt. Who knew that could change everything? Despite it's health benefits, I have a hard time enjoying that food item any other way. And speaking of health benefits, I made my version low carb by using seasoned riced cauliflower. And if you need a quick weeknight meal, stock up on pre-made ingredients and you're set in minutes. Making your own copy-cat recipes from places you enjoy is so much healthier because you are the creator and in control of all of the ingredients. No surprises of added sugars, preservatives or other icky stuff (unless you throw something in there having not read the label!). The salsa is simple and best if made ahead to marinate some. You'l...

Cranberry Bars

During the quarantine I saw I had a bunch of bags of cranberries in my freezer (I stock up on them to make smoothies). I decided to look for a new recipie I could use them in. Well, I found a winner! The "test kitchen" attempt was in the spring, but I decided it would be a perfect dessert for the holidays. This year, I made three different batches for different occasions! It has been a favorite for sure. The addition of the orange zest makes it special. I love the zing of the zest combined with the tart berries. Together they complement the sweetness super well. I have used both pecans and walnuts. Both work great but pecans are my fav. And ignore where it says that powdered sugar dusting is optional. It is quite necessary - especially for the holidays! 🎄 Enjoy! Cranberry Bars Recipe - Stuck On Sweet
