This recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits is my delicious take on the biscuits available at Red Lobster. I like to call these BETTER cheddar bay biscuits because they are.

Browned Butter Roasted Nuts are seriously addicting. Please proceed with caution, and don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Shrimp with Asparagus is the perfect meal for when you want to impress, but you don’t have a lot of time to fuss.

This Slow Cooker Brisket recipe just may surprise you with its list of ingredients, but trust me when I tell you after your first bite, you’ll be hooked!

You can make honey roasted butternut squash in an air fryer or a conventional oven. It’s a delicious seasonal side dish to grace any table.

You may say to yourself after reading the ingredient list “Hey!” “What in the world is ground cinnamon and cocoa powder doing in a savory recipe like this?” “And what about the butter and lime juice?” “She has really gone off the deep end with this recipe!” “Has Renee lost her mind?!!”

And my answer would be…Well. Maybe. But not about this recipe.

The secret to keeping these bacon wrapped chicken breasts so moist, tender, and flavorful (besides the bacon wrapping), is to bathe the chicken in a saltwater and sugar brine for 30 minutes before seasoning and wrapping the breasts in bacon. The difference the brine makes is unmistakable and is well worth the extra 30 minutes of basically hands-off time.

These easy slow-roasted baby back ribs are cooked with a minimum of ingredients ensuring excellent meaty flavor and quality tenderness.

This chili can be made with or without meat. Since my husband enjoys his chili with meat, I added browned bits of Italian sausage into the slow cooker along with all the other ingredients.
However, by omitting the sausage and swapping vegetable broth for the beef broth, this chili becomes completely vegetarian. Talk about versatile!

I love to make cherry BBQ sauce while cherries are in season. It’s relatively fast and simple to make and it goes well with chicken, pork and even beef.
