Today I’m sharing this amazing recipe for Brining BBQ Chicken. As we approach spring, I’m excited to get outside and get the grilled fired back up. This is one of my go to recipes for grilling. If you’ve never brined chicken before, I recommend you try it. Usually when we BBQ chicken on the grill, it tends to get dry and the only flavor you taste is the BBQ sauce on the skin. I really like the flavoring all the way through to the bone. I recommend you brine the chicken the night before and allow the chicken to soak…

How I miss her and her cooking! I’ve been making her Banana Nut bread for years. It’s really my favorite, but this last fall I had made a Fall Food Bucket List and this Pumpkin Bread was on there! Servings: Depends on what type of pan you…

Today I wanted to share with you a new to me food product that is so good! I’m usually not a fan of ready made sauces like this, but decided to give it a try. My boys love fajitas, but I find it a chore to marinade meat ahead of time and fire up the grill. All this means we don’t ever have fajitas at home! And that’s why I decided to give Frontera Fajita Sauce a shot. We all love it! So easy and so delicious! Servings: 4-6 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 15 minutes Ingredients: 1 yellow…

I think summer is a great time to try new recipes. For us there’s less evening activities and that means I can come home and not have to run here and there before settling in to cook dinner. These French Onion Sliders are so amazing. I’ve seen several other bloggers do similar recipes, so it has been on my recipe bucket list. What I love about these sliders is that you can just use good ole hamburger meat. You don’t have to have the more expensive beef cuts which is great for the wallet. The beefy flavored butter topping that…
