Here is another recipe from my post on making three healthy dinners from one rotisserie chicken. I’ve taken this casserole to several potlucks and everyone seems to really enjoy it. It has great flavor from the cilantro and lime and I love that it is loaded with all of these veggies! You could also serve…
A few weeks ago I shared the results of my experiment in using one rotisserie chicken to make three healthy meals for my family. The results were good enough (at least according to me!) to share the recipes individually, so I’m starting with this yummy dish. This chili is packed with veggies and white beans…
I used to consider rotisserie chickens an overpriced convenience food. However, I’ve learned that pound-for-pound they aren’t actually much more expensive than buying uncooked chicken. This is especially true if you have access to the famous $5.00 Costco rotisserie birds. Plus there is the amazing smell that fills your car on the drive home… just thinking…
My dear friend and reader Robyn is allowing me to share her fantastic DIY gift idea with y’all! I mailed her some of my homemade brownie mix as part of her birthday present (the recipe follows). The brownies were a big hit at her house so she decided to make some more mix and give it as a birthday…
An easy custard strawberry tart recipe perfect for a summer picnic or anytime! Here is an impressive yet simple recipe for an easy custard strawberry tart.

An easy recipe for a soy honey marinade that is perfect for chicken, steak or pork! I’ve been using this marinade for years and I love it. This recipe makes a large batch, enough to fill a quart mason jar. I’ve always just kept it on the shelf and never had any issues. So, I…
A recipe for Jiffy Cornbread Waffles made from a simple muffin mix! My friend Robyn will attest that I was obsessed with cornbread long before I lived in the South. I remember sending her a souvenir magnet with – you guessed it – a cornbread recipe on it back when we were in college. That was looong…
We are hosting a little egg hunt at our house this Easter and I am setting out a brunch buffet for the get-together. I wanted to make four interesting and spring-inspired dishes so here’s the menu: Proscuitto-Wrapped Melon Bites from Southern Living (the recipe says mango but I am using the traditional melon in it’s place)…
I made oatmeal muffins with cranberries last week and really wanted to add some form of orange, but we were totally out of citrus. I bought a bag of clementines yesterday so I made more muffins… any excuse to make more muffins! These muffins have great texture without being dry and have lots of flavor…
