It’s that time of year again! Got out my slow cooker for some warm and hearty dinner recipes. I love when my food cooks while I am busy doing other fun things. While I was creating this slow cooker chicken dish I am about to share with you, my son, Brennan asked why I don’t […]

I am a chicken fan. {Just saying’} I admire those that can eat a vegetarian diet but my body and taste buds do enjoy a bit of  meat. Today I made a Cheesy Yogurt and Herb Chicken.  Serious yum. Very moist and very savory.   I am not a steak or burger fan and can […]

This chicken recipe has been my  favorite lately.  I have made it 2 weeks in a row. 🙂  I love that is is simple and very family friendly. Mix equal amounts of parmesan cheese… and sesame seeds. I usually start with about 3/4 cup of each. Purchase chicken cutlets or pound chicken breasts to even […]
