Are you tired of dried out bland Turkey every year at Thanksgiving? So was I! I had had it! I’ve spent the last 4 years perfecting my Turkey recipe. I did it too! I have the BEST recipe for Turkey. I promise if you’ll follow my steps you’ll have the perfect Turkey this Holiday Season too. It’s so tender you can cut it with a fork, and it’s so moist it melts in your mouth…plus, it’s so flavorful you’ll swoon! Kinda like the Turkey did when he saw the farmer coming with that really big knife!
Main Dishes
I love this time of year…I truly do…but I think we can all get burned out on Chili, Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, and all things pumpkin spice. We still crave comfort food, and filling hot dishes…we just yearn for something different. I know I do. Which was why I looked at the container of Ricotta cheese sitting in my refrigerator and thought “I’ve got something big planned for you little buddy! No red sauce tonight. We’re kicking things up around here!” So we did…I think you’re gonna love this new recipe as much as the folks at this Nest did.
Who loves the crisp golden Corn Dogs at the fair, or the mall? I do, I do! It was one of my favorites as a kid. I still love a good corn dog with a healthy dose of mustard. The key word there is “good”! I recently had a little friend over to visit and all he wanted was a “corn dog”. So I dusted off my family cookbook and whipped up a batch of homemade corn dogs. He declared them “good”! I couldn’t agree more. Plus…They’re the perfect Halloween night snack!
If you love Ribs year round like we do…have I got a recipe for you! Seriously some of the BEST ribs that have ever passed by my lips. I can’t take credit for the recipe. This recipe hails from Jen over at Carlsbad Cravings…one of my favorite food bloggers. I’m not sure I would have thought to combine honey buffalo sauce with ribs…so I’m glad I stumbled onto her delightful combination. I made a few adjustments to suit our tastes…but I give all the credit to Jen for these babies! You’re gonna want these in your life!
Hawaiian Haystacks have always been a favorite at this Nest. However, the other day I was craving Mexican and got to thinking…What if you changed out the steamed rice for Spanish rice…and involved salsa and avocados! Sounded like a FANTASTIC idea to me…and it was!!!
This was the first dish I made on my new stove top range “Julia the Grate”! (Shout out to Southwest Appliance! Thank You my new baby!) This beautiful, colorful, flavorful Brooklyn Chicken Penne Pasta dish…is well… “Full” of everything you love about those fresh Italian dishes you find when dinning out…only YOU made it yourself! You’re just going to have to trust me that this is one MUST try recipe! Add it to your weekly meal plan menu today! It’s soooo, so, good!
I absolutely love a one pot meal! They’re perfect during busy week nights. A family favorite at our house has always been Chicken and Dumplings. I wanted to change things up a bit so I decided to come up with a quick and easy Creamy Chicken Broccoli soup and do something wild by throwing in cheesy dumplings! I promise this dish is so easy even the newest cook can make this wonderful dish!
Sunday dinners seem to call for Roast Beef! I love a good Roast Beef dinner as much as the next person. I just don’t like the mess! I decided I wanted to change it up a bit so I created this luscious Slow Cooker Beefy Gravy and Parmesan Noodle dish. It’s magical…it makes it own gravy! It has all the elements a good family Sunday dinner should have with less pots and pans!
Growing up Dad always made Country Pork Ribs. I’ll admit…back then I wasn’t a huge fan. Give me a slab of “Baby Back Ribs” any day! However, I decided to give them another try when I spotted a package of them on sale. I’m so glad that I did! What did I do that Dad didn’t? Well you’ll just have to keep reading to find out! Trust me…these will knock your socks off!
I love Dutch Oven dinners! However it’s not always easy to dig out the cast iron, coals, and have at it. So I decided to create a much easier stove top version. This Country Hamburger Skillet Dinner will have you tossing the Hamburger Helper for this meal that all the birds at your nest will love.
