One of our favorite easy dinner recipes is chicken cutlets topped with cheddar…
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 Oven Fried Chicken Fingers 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 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…
With Father’s Day coming this weekend, a lot of us are thinking about cooking up some beautiful steak. Dads love steak, and the rest of the family usually feels the same. Just a few days ago, my daughter and I were joking about how we both love “man food,” like steaks, sausages, and burgers. This…
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…
I recently got back from a trip to Iowa to visit my daughter Allie and her adorable family. Seeing the grandbabies’ cute faces is my favorite thing in the world! During our visit, we ate all of Iowa’s favorite foods, meaning both beef and pork. Just kidding – Iowans eat a lot of different things,…
Meet my new favorite bread! I hope you can tell I’m gushing with enthusiasm about this recipe. I’ve been wanting to try artisan bread, but I didn’t want to commit to maintaining a sourdough starter. This recipe uses just a bit of yeast and rises overnight for a chewy, but light and airy, texture. Baking…
I’ve had my Instant Pot DUO for almost two years now, and I’ve slowly gone from not quite knowing what to do with it to using it just about every day. It took me a few months to discover all the ways I wanted to use it in my kitchen, but from the beginning I…
