Easy Chicken and Dumplings

Published by Rachel December 24th, 2009 in Poultry, Soups and Chilis, One Pot, Quick and Easy, 4 Stars, Southern Living, Kid Approved, Easy Preparation and Leftover chicken or Turkey. Closed

This is a tasty, hearty, and super easy version of the slow cooked classic: chicken and dumplings.  Be sure to use low sodium broth, and if you don’t I would suggest using half broth half water, otherwise it will be too salty (trust me–there is plenty of salt in the rotisserie chicken, cream of chicken […]

Easy Homemade Mac-N-Cheese

Published by Rachel November 7th, 2009 in Vegetarian, 4 Stars, Southern Living, Easy Preparation, Sides and Pasta. Closed

I’m not ashamed to admit that I like boxed mac-n-cheese, especially with some chipotle Tabasco sauce.  I’ve made homemade mac-n-cheese before, and most of the time the result is disappointing.
The most important thing I’ve learned is the type of cheese you use is extremely important.  Regular mild cheddar doesn’t melt well and doesn’t have any […]

This recipe comes from Southern Living, November 2002. I’ve heard of these cookies before, mostly watching Giada de Laurentiis’ show, but I had never tried one. I got a newsletter a few days ago with this recipe in it, so I decided to give it a try. They are different, but pretty […]

This recipe comes from Southern Living, but I’m not positive about the year published…I think it was April 2004. The flavors of the steak are excellent. The steak should marinate at least 8 hours in the fridge, but we usually do an over night marinade. It’s really easy to prepare and cook, […]
