Paleo Pancakes

This is one of my go-to breakfasts during the school year especially. It's also perfect for a gluten-free, low-carb, sugar free diet. It makes a great on-the-go breakfast in a cup when you cut up the pancakes and top with Swerve confectioners sugar and fresh fruit. One pancake with fruit keeps me full all morning long!

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...

Tomato Pie - Southern Living

My love for tomatoes has been a thing for as long as I can remember. My parents didn't grow up southern and didn't cook that way, so I was ignorant of  uniquely southern cuisine until later in my life (i.e. I had to have a high school friend explain to me what a "grit" was 🤣). So when I learned that you could make a pie full of tomatoes it made my heart sing!  Many recipes are simple and include lots of cheese and mayo resulting in a runny (yet yummy) substance on your plate. I saw this recipe in Southern Living magazine and the picture lured me in. The main difference I believe is the addition of bacon and an egg.  Bacon can make it "dinner worthy" because it's a meat/protein, and the egg firms up the consistency as it cools. It is time intensive because of the need to blind-bake the crust, pre-roast the tomatoes, and allowing them to cool. It takes even longer if you follow the recipe exactly and you make your own crust. HA! Who has time for that? So ...
