Easy Thai – chicken, vegetables and noodles!

This is an easy Thai dish that tastes just as good as takeout. In fact, we ate at a local Thai restaurant a few years ago and this recipe tastes better than their ‘real deal’. Maybe it was the wrong Thai restaurant to choose but since then I’m reluctant to try another one.

Have all your ingredients prepped, chopped and handy and this recipe doesn’t take long. You’ll be eating this Thai Chicken and Noodles in less time than it takes to decide what restaurant to order from!

Thai food is known for its spicy edge and this dish has its share of spice! But you can control the heat to your taste.

This is one of the quickest desserts you can make. AND, it’s delicious. It’s perfect for the summer – you don’t have to heat your oven.

NO-BAKE dessert!

Layer sliced strawberries, graham crackers, lite cool whip and drizzle the top with chocolate syrup. Mmmm!

Grab a 13 x 9 glass or plastic cake pan. Something preferably with a lid. So you can save the leftovers and put it in the refrigerator for later. This dessert is just as good the next day as the day you make it. The graham crackers do get a little softer and it will have a different texture, but it still holds up better than you would imagine.

This French Bread can be ready and hot out of the oven in 1 hour! Yes, that’s right..fresh bread, piping hot, smeared with butter. Yummy.

Last week I was making homemade lasagna and couldn’t stop thinking about French bread to go with it. I have had homemade bread on my mind since I recently got a new French bread pan and was excited to try it out. But it was already late in the day and I wasn’t sure I had time to get the bread mixed, let it rise and cooked before I planned to served dinner. Continue reading “1 Hour French Bread”

It’s time to grill!

I love being able to hand off the cooking to my husband. He does all the grilling in our house – I stay away from the grill. I’m usually still in charge of the prep work but he does the cooking. And the cleanup is so much simpler than dirtying up 2-3 pans in the kitchen. Most of the time when we light the grill, we grill the entire meal. Or we grill extra meat to use for another meal later in the week.
This Cilantro Grilled Chicken is perfect for a lunch meal sliced on a salad.

This recipe for Cilantro Chicken is a different twist on grilled chicken using bottled BBQ sauce or bottled marinade.

This shrimp and grits recipe is filling and quick to cook – 5 minutes!

Grits are not just for breakfast. They can be used in savory dishes also. In fact I prefer them for a dinner meal instead of a breakfast meal.

“Grits are a Southern dish”, you say. I’m about as Southern as you can get and we didn’t eat grits growing up. Not sure why. In fact I only ate grits for the first time at a restaurant a few years ago when I ordered a dish similar to this recipe- minus the sauteed spinach. We often eat this sauteed spinach as a side dish with our dinner meal. It’s quick, easy and a ‘super food’. I don’t know about y’all but I’ll take all the super foods I can get!
