Cooking up artistically delicious family-friendly dishes from my Kudos Kitchen to yours!
There are two things you can always count on of in the month of March (despite the weather) is that college basketball takes center stage (with anyone and everyone talking brackets).
And, on March 17th (St. Patrick’s Day) everyone turns a little Irish, including me! Eating a delicious corned beef boxty is a great way to celebrate being Irish for a day!
Gluten-Free Chicken Cordon Bleu is a relatively easy dinner to get on the family dinner table. The only small trick you’ll need to learn (If you don’t already know how) is how to butterfly the chicken breast so the sauce and filling can be added. But, don’t fret. I’ll walk you through that step with my easy to follow photo tutorial! You got this!!
Cauliflower is one of those magical vegetables that be morphed into just about anything these days. However, my favorite way to eat it is in this Easy Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole.
Even if you’re not a huge cauliflower fan, I hope you’ll give this recipe for Easy Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower Casserole try because I believe it will make you a cauliflower convert.
Can I tell you something? If you’re following a keto diet plan (or even if you’re not), these Bacon Wrapped Broccoli Stalk Appetizers are completely addicting! And by adding the Creamy Smoked Paprika Horseradish Dipping Sauce, you’re taking your snacking to a whole other level!
For the recipe I’m sharing today, I’ve made a homemade cocktail sauce. However, please feel free to use your favorite variety of store-bought cocktail sauce if that is your preference.
Having said that, there are only three ingredients in my homemade cocktail sauce; ketchup, horseradish (add as much or as little as you like), and smoked paprika. Save money and make your own at home. You’ll be glad you did!
This Turkey Bread Bowl with Creamy Spinach Ranch Dip is an appetizer I brought to my brother and sister-in-law’s house last year when they hosted Thanksgiving. That year, I made him the morning of Thanksgiving and then all year I kept him in the back of my mind so I could bring him to you this year. After all, he’s just too cute (and tasty) not to share with you here.
I’m not usually one to follow traditions when it comes to food and food holidays like Thanksgiving. What can I say? I get bored easily, and I like to try new things. It’s not always something that my family appreciates, but if I’m the one doing the cooking, then I’m the one who gets to decide what’s on the menu. *insert evil laughter here*
Back in the 70’s (my high school days) I remember cucumber dip being all the rage. It was a tangy mix of grated cucumber, sour cream, and onion. I decided to revisit what I recall was my favorite dip, and (naturally) add my own twist to it for a 2016 update.
If you’re wondering why I used a combination of boneless, skinless chicken thighs and breasts, it’s to keep the pulled chicken as moist and flavorful as possible. Because sometimes boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be dry due to the lack of fat, I wanted to pack in as much moisture and flavor as I could.
The count down is on. In a mere three days, my husband and I will be hosting one of the biggest backyard parties we’ve ever thrown. I’m nervous, and excited, and exhausted. Who’s idea was this, anyway? LOL
