Easy Crockpot Mandarin Chicken is just what it says Easy! I have been seeing this recipe circling around on Pinterest and knew I had to give it a try. I did make a few changes to our liking. It will definitely be making a regular appearance on our menu rotations. I love the ingredients in this recipe and added a few of my own. I added onions and bell pepper to give it additional color and taste. You could add mandarin oranges or pineapple, but we prefer it with just the vegetables. Either way the flavors explode in your mouth, and you can't stop eating it. I also love the fact that I can make it in a crockpot. I have always cooked most anything in the summer so using the crockpot for me is more out of convenience than anything. The one thing that I most favor about using a crockpot is you don't have to watch the stove when you cook. You can go about doing other things while your meal is simmering away. Yes, the crockpot is...

A Delicious Dessert for July 4th! Easy Strawberry Dessert Pizza
Strawberry Dessert Pizza , strawberries, marshmallow cream cheese filling and refrigerated cookie dough make a delicious summer dessert. I have been admiring a Strawberry Dessert Pizza recipe over at Mommy's Kitchen for some time now. She has a lengthy recipe index of yummy quick and easy desserts that look absolutely delicious. You need to stop by and check them out. I finally got around to making it this past Memorial Day weekend for my grandsons. They enjoyed it so much so that I went to the grocery store and bought enough ingredients to make another one. I didn't have my usual pizza pan to make the Easy Strawberry Dessert Pizza in, so I decided to use my cast iron round griddle. Like Tina, I started off with a package of refrigerated cookie dough for the crust. After the cookie crust baked and was cooling, I made the first layer to the pizza out of a rich, creamy mixture of cream cheese and marshmallow cream. The next layer...
Spaghetti Pie
Spaghetti Pie is a delightful twist on a regular Italian dinner you serve your family. As soon as I saw Lynn's recipe for Spaghetti Pie over at Southern With A Twist , I knew I had to make it. She has a lot of people request her recipe, and for me, that tells me, it is a winner. What drew me to this recipe is the ingredients. They are as simple as mixing eggs, sour cream, mozzarella and parmesan cheese with spaghetti noodles, then spread in the bottom of a casserole dish. An easy meat sauce layered over the noodles, then topped with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. How easy it that? The recipe make a huge casserole--way too much for just my husband and I, so the next time I make it, and I will be making it often, I am dividing it up in two or three pans. This recipe would even be great to serve for a fundraiser meal since it makes such a huge casserole. Love these kind of recipes! My daughter's family came by just as I wa...

Coconut Lime Chess Pie + a tip for flaky pie crust
The coconut and lime in this Coconut Lime Chess Pie add a crunchy and tangy twist to the classic southern chess pie. . Chess pies have been around for ages. Originally the recipe called for cornmeal, which sets the pie apart from other custard pies, and a small amount of vinegar was added to cut down on the sweetness of the pie. That is why I added lime juice to this recipe. My husband is a big fan of custard pies, but they tend to be too rich and sweet for him, so I usually cut down on the sugar. The crust in custard pies tends to be soft and soggy at times after they are baked. Here is a tip ~ Bake your crust for fifteen minutes before pouring the filling in. This keeps the crust from absorbing a lot of the liquid from the pie filling, causing it to be tough and wet. I nstead, the crust will be tender and flakey! You cannot get more basic when it comes to baking a pie than chess pies. Chess pies are made with four simpl...
