If you family loves heading to Chick Fil A as much as mine you are probably looking for a copycat Chick Fil A nuggets recipe and this is the best one I have found! My older kids love that they can help make the nuggets and help out in the kitchen, it's that easy! Copycat Chick Fil A Nuggets Recipe I have always loved Chick Fil A food, and as I got older, I loved their values as a company. It has nothing to dow with being Christian or not. It has to do with the employees always having a smile, always saying my pleasure and have a great day, and always getting my order right. It has to do with them getting Sundays off, not just because of the option to go to church we didn't go to church much growing up but Sunday was always family day, everyone was expected to be home for dinner, and it was always a typical Sunday dinner meal, pot roast, meatloaf and all the other great down home meals. There is an only saying treat your employees right, and they will treat your customers right. Chick Fil A is the proof of this, and I am happy to spend my money here. But not all my money. We love their chicken nuggets, a little too much. So I needed to find a copycat Chick Fil A Nuggets recipes to make for my family in between visits! 1 cup Dill Pickle Juice 1

Amazing Homemade Uncrustables to Try Right Now

I love super easy school lunches that are easy to make for the week. Even though we are homeschoolers we still have school day lunches and lunches while we are out and about to think about. One of the lunches I have in my recipe box is these homemade uncrustables. Amazing Homemade Uncrustables to Try Right Now The best part about these uncrustables is that you can customize them to your family. We like to use white bread but many families prefer wheat bread or you can use gluten free bread if you are gluten free. Then comes the jam choices. While for the round we used plain grape jelly you can use any flavor you want. Like our freezer strawberry jam or our instant pot blueberry jam. Take it a step further skip the jelly and do peanut butter and bananas or marshmallow fluff. I LOVED peanut butter and marshmallow fluff when I was a kid! They even have strawberry marshmallow fluff now! I think the inner kid in me is demanding I try this! You can use Nutella or any other peanut butter substitute you want. This is the best part you can make them completely your own. Make a new version every week, then freeze them and have a great back to school lunches or snacks. These are crazy simple to make you will wonder why you didn't think of it yourself! Ingredients Bread of your choice Jelly or Jam of your choice (we used Grape!) Peanut Butter Directions On

Southwestern Shrimp Skewers

I am always looking for great new recipes to use on the grill but can be cooking inside during the winter months too. Hubby doesn't appreciate me making him stand in a foot of snow like we had a few weeks back and gill our dinner. Been there done that and hubby will run away if i make him do THAT again (EEK!) These Southwestern Shrimp Skewers can be customized with whatever veggies you have on hand. but the peppers, limes and tomatoes are the best combination in my opinion! If you don't like too much spice use bell peppers if you are a dare devil try a ghost pepper! Southwestern Shrimp Skewers Funny story. When I was pregnant with #4 hubby was trying to help by making dinner and though he would add the same spices to the rice as he did the skewers… but he tripled it. Now I like a BIT of spice but when I'm pregnant spice is 10x as it is. I about died! Needless to say i told him to just stick to the recipe! INGREDIENTS 1 lb Medium Peeled Deveined Shrimp 5 oz Cherry Tomatoes 2 Limes 4-5 small Peppers 2 tbsp Olive Oil 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper 1/4 tsp Cumin 1 tbsp chopped Cilantro Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper to taste Skewers DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 400. Cut each lime into 8 wedges. Split and remove seeds from each pepper. Place lime wedge, then shrimp, then tomato, then shrimp, then pepper, then

One we try to save money on our grocery budget is by incorporating+6 dinner for breakfast once a week. Breakfast meals are cheap and as a bonus it is really easy to make! So a much as my pocketbook likes them there is only so much of the basic eggs and toast or pancakes and girl can take! So I started looking into some easier things to make that are still yummy, and one that has stuck (amongst several failures) are these Denver Omelette Sliders. Denver Omelette Sliders 8 pk Dinner Rolls 12 Eggs 4 slices Sandwich Ham 7 slices American Cheese 1 small Onion diced 1 Green Pepper diced Salt and Pepper, to taste Preheat oven to 350.

I might be slightly addicted to Olive Garden's Tiramisu…. but it can cost an arm and leg. So I set out to find Olive Garden Copycat Recipes for their famous Tiramisu. This started a slight addiction because I found so many other great copycat recipes that we had Olive Garden themed foods for around 2 weeks. From their salad and breadsticks to their cheesecakes. My husband had me hunt down their Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and their toasted ravioli. This led to me wanting to try to recreate their sangria and peach iced tea for a get-together. I also recreated their minestrone soup and spaghetti sauce. Though I am still very partial to my mom's personal recipe, so we have been making that. The chicken marsala is always a big hit when we have company. Of course, this hunt for recipes led me to find other copycat recipes like my Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls and Honey Butter, and my copycat Chick Fil A Chicken Salas Sandwich. Finish up with a dessert of my Copycat Wendy's Frosty Recipe. 14 of the Best Olive Garden Copycat Recipes Olive Garden Sangria Recipe – Copy Kat Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup Recipe  – Madame Deals Olive Garden Breadstick Recipe – Thrifty Jinxy Copy Cat Olive Garden Minestrone Soup – The Frugal Navy Wife Olive Garden Salad Dressing Recipe – Copy Kat Copy Cat Olive Garden Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo – Six Dollar Family Peach Iced Tea – Blommi Caprese Flatbread – Carrie's Experimental Kitchen Olive Gaden Chicken and Gnocchi

I'm sure I all would have to write in this post is that I have 4 kids and this is their favorite food. Any parent would understand. See my kids will eat almost anything we make for dinner but once a week I try to make something I know they like. So what makes that list? At the top is mac n cheese, then pizza, chicken nuggets, pancakes, and spaghetti. Amazingly Easy Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese Oh, and let me mention my kids will eat the box mac n cheese, but they prefer I make home made. So I used to make my dad's baked mac n cheese recipe and they loved it. I love it and then grandpa let it slip that there were onions in the mac and cheese. See I diced them up so fine they never know because they were int he sauce and I was happy that I was sneaking in some veggies. So the next time I made it the kids watched me like a hawk. Yeah, thanks, grandpa! So I went on the hunt for a new recipe. I tried being very blunt about the veggies and making Broccoli Mac and Cheese. Parents I'm sure you know how that turned out! My kids picked around the broccoli. Surprisingly one of my children loved it and I did too. This slow cooker mac and cheese was my next try and it has stuck. No veggies in the base of it but as I

One of my favorite things to do, when we travel, is to try out the local food. Every area is different, and one of the recipes we have brought how with us is Beef Southwestern Soup, but I have started making it in the slow cooker! Slow Cooker Beef Southwestern Soup Recipe (Only 5 Ingredients) Ok best part? This recipe is only 5 ingredients and takes about 10 minutes to toss together. Add in some Tortilla chips to dip in the soup while you eat and you are ready to go. My family loves adding some sour cream to the top of the soup when it's served and also some cheese. Hubby and I fight over using mild or spicy salsa, but it is absolutely your choice. Personally, I like getting the recipe together and setting it in the stoneware in the fridge overnight. Then I can take it out and set the slow cooker to cook the next morning and by dinner time I have a great dinner, and the only work I have to do is to open the bag of chips. Ingredients 1 lb cooked ground beef 15oz jar medium chunky salsa 1 can of fiesta corn About 5 medium sized potatoes 30 oz water Directions 1. In a large pan, cook your ground beef like you would for spaghetti 2. Wash, peel, and cut your potatoes into small pieces 3. First, add your ground beef to the bottom of your slow cooker 4. Next, add in your potatoes 5. Drain

Easy One Pot Pepperoni Pizza Pasta

I love making meals that take only one pot to make. This means ONE pot to clean, ONE pot to put away and that makes ONE happy mommy! Easy One Pot Pepperoni Pizza Pasta This recipe is also great for an easy weeknight meal; it's quick and easy, and like I said, 1 pot means less to clean, and sooner you can get to bed…. or Netflix. Let's be honest once kids are in bed, it's Netflix binge time. Well for me at least! Ingredients 1 lb Ground Beef 1 small Onion, diced 40 slices Pepperoni 24 oz jar Spaghetti Sauce 3 cup Penne Pasta 2 cup Water 1 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Directions Brown ground beef and onion in a large, oven-proof skillet and drain excess fat. I like using my cast iron skillets for this. Add 25 slices of pepperoni and spaghetti sauce. Add pasta and water, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the most of the liquid is absorbed and pasta is tender. Remember you can always add a bit of water if need, just don't add too much. Remove lid and sprinkle top with cheese and remaining pepperoni. Broil until the cheese is lightly browned. Don't burn it! I have done that before too! That it! Serve it and trust me, tell the kids that anything is pizza flavored, and they will scarf it down. So when you tell them you are having pizza pasta, they will be in
