I've never had much success with slow cooker chicken recipes because there is usually a can of soup involved. However, this one seemed like it had promise and it turned out great. The simplicity of the ingredients make it an easy one to prep before work and then dinner is ready in an hour [...]
This certainly isn't a complicated sauce, but it makes ribs and chicken taste like I have been slaving over a hot grill all day. The ingredients make a great sauce, but you could adjust the quantities or add something with a kick to make it your own. The brown sugar, ketchup soy sauce combo [...]
My husband accidentally bought chicken tenders instead of chicken breasts one day, so I decided to make the most of it. I scrounged around in our pantry and had the idea to make a coating that had ranch dressing in it already. My family loved the combination of these chicken tenders and a ranch [...]
This is my mom's FAMOUS potato salad recipe. And I say famous because everyone else's mom made potato salad with egg or pickles or Miracle Whip. Nothing tasted as good as my mom's and she would often be asked to bring it to a BBQ or special event. She used to buy this salad [...]

The name of this recipe comes from a restaurant in Alexandria Virginia where my husband and I ate pulled pork served this way. At the time, this combination of ingredients sounded pretty unusual to me. But it was delicious, and has become our favorite way of serving pulled pork. This is my attempt at [...]
I don't even remember where this recipe came from. I do remember that the original recipe called for grilling the chicken, and it made a huge mess so I took it out. Now the whole thing takes place in one pan and is a fairly quick dish on a busy weeknight. Just remember to [...]
While many of my recipes are ones I've seen in magazines and modified to my taste, this one is a salad I've made up in it's entirety. The truth is I have no idea why I made it or what the inspiration was for it's creation. What I do know is that it has [...]
When summer comes, and it's time to cook out, my husband prefers macaroni salad to potato salad. Up until the day he asked for it I had never actually made macaroni salad of any kind. So it was really good luck when one of my favorite cooking magazines had a recipe for something called [...]
