Who doesn’t love chicken fingers? They’re considered kid food, but adults love them too. I’ve been testing and perfecting this recipe for crazy crumb chicken for a few weeks now, and I don’t think my family was the least bit upset that they had to taste test a lot of different versions. I named this…
I think think you could cover just about any food in panko and fry it, and it would turn out delicious. In case you’re not familiar with panko, it’s a Japanese-style breadcrumb. Panko breadcrumbs are bigger, airier and fluffier than American or European breadcrumbs, with a flake-like shape. They don’t absorb a lot of oil,…
Pork chops are inexpensive, lean and full of protein, but they can be a beast to cook. If you have a thin chop, by the time you get it browned on the outside, the inside will be dry and overcooked. If you have a thick chop, the outside will be burned black before the inside…
Some foods are a perfect match for the pressure cooker or Instant Pot. One of those foods is potatoes. When I first cooked potatoes in the Instant Pot, it was a revelation!

Coca-Cola is one of the world’s favorite drinks, but it’s also a surprisingly versatile cooking ingredient. In my mom’s family, Thanksgiving was not complete without Coke Salad, a concoction of cherry Jell-O, canned cherries, canned pineapple, pecans, cream cheese, and Coca-Cola. Don’t knock it ’til you try it – it’s actually pretty good. A few…
Making a healthy, homemade meal for my family is honestly one of my favorite things to do, but some nights there’s zero time for cooking. If you’re like me, you end up at the drive-through or on the phone calling for pizza delivery a lot more often than you’d like. It’s expensive and unhealthy. I’ve…
We celebrated Easter and a family birthday this past weekend, and it made my heart happy to reconnect with loved ones. I hope you had a wonderful holiday as well. I ate more than my fair share of candy and yummy baked goods, and now that the holiday is over, I really want to get…
