Hi guys!
I’m so excited about this week’s feature. We’ve gathered a delicious 6-course Easter dinner, with appetizers to desserts, from recipes that you guys have shared.
I’m sad to announce that the Delicious Dishes party will be put on hold for now. I do plan on coming up with something new to feature here each week – maybe a weekly meal plan? I’d love to hear what YOU would like to see! I blog a lot less than I used to, but I want to keep it up and add more value to it this year.

]]>We’ve had a brief spring “preview” here in Maryland, and I’m eager and excited for the weather to warm up more permanently.
But more than anything else, I’m eager for our house renovations to be done so that I can get back to cooking regularly. I’m hoping that this long break from cooking and doing dishes will make me appreciate the ability to cook even more!
This week, my fellow Delicious Dishes hostesses and I decided to feature recipes using ground beef. Ground beef is one of the easiest and most versatile starting points for dinner, and I almost always have some ground beef on hand. What about you?

]]>Happy Tuesday! This past week has been a whirlwind of excitement for our family. We’ve been slowly preparing to move for the last several months, but kicked the process into high gear this week when we found what seemed like our dream house.
We still love the location and the idea of the house, but the reality was that the house was in very bad shape and the owners were seriously loony.
The good news is that we’ve held onto that motivation to move faster on the things we need to do at our house to get it ready to sell and then find a new place.
It’s all good.
This week for Delicious Dishes, we’ve chosen some delicious chicken recipes that are sure to become new family-favorites. Once I have a working kitchen again, I’ll be making ALL of these chicken dishes for sure!

]]>It has been a crazy week and start to February. Last Tuesday, after our last Delicious Dishes post was published, we adopted a 7-month old kitten named Cody.
He is adorable, cuddly, curious and playful, and he already gets along fabulously with our big, old dog Jax.

]]>I was gone most of the day Monday preparing for today.
Somehow this ordinary Tuesday turned into the day that we’re adopting a kitten.
A year and a half ago, we were a family without pets. Now we’re all in.
I have a very happy 15-year-old girl living down the hall from me.
For this week’s Delicious Dishes Recipe Party, each of the hosts has chosen their favorite part of a 6-course Valentine’s Day dinner. Then we put them all together to create a delicious fancy (and dare I say romantic?) dinner.

]]>Hi guys! I saw a meme the other day about how LONG January is. Seriously, I feel like the holidays were ages ago. How is it still January?
We’ve got more snow on the horizon, and the cold temperatures have me craving comfort food. Pork is one of those foods that I swear no matter how you cook it, it’s comforting!
These recipes from our readers have my mouth watering!

]]>Hi guys! This week has been a literal whirlwind! We decided at the end of last week that I will be homeschooling my 10th grader starting immediately. Obviously, starting a homeschool program, even if the curriculum is already established, is a huge deal, but I’m so excited about it (mostly because we both felt like this was the right move to make for our situation). So…wish us luck as we transition to our new way of doing school!
This week’s theme is family-favorite casserole recipes. I think a few of these recipes might even persuade me to make a casserole. lol

]]>This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of ABSCos. The opinions and text are all mine.
A busy mom can never have too many quick and easy chicken recipes in her dinner-time arsenal. As we head back into another school year, the kids may be thinking about meeting new teachers or getting used to new classes and schedules, but I’m thinking about how much busier my afternoons and evenings will be when the kids are back into after-school sports and homework. I may not have as much time to prepare dinner once school is in session, but I don’t want to sacrifice taste or quality, either.
I’ve been asking my good friends and family for their favorite quick weeknight dinner ideas, and this braised balsamic chicken from my sister was one of the first recipes we tried. It was such a hit with my family that we quickly added it to our regular dinner rotation.
This past week, I made braised balsamic chicken with Open Nature® Air Chilled Boneless Skinnless Chicken Breasts and I could not believe how moist and tender and flavorful they were!
If you’re like me, at this point, you’re probably asking, “What in the world is air chilled chicken??” Put simply, air-chilled chickens are individually processed in cold chambers with purified air. But it’s so much more than that.
You can buy O Organics® Air Chilled Chicken and Open Nature® Air Chilled Chicken at your local Safeway store. Here’s just a little about what makes O Organics® and Open Nature® Air Chilled Chicken different.

This is chicken that you can feel good about feeding your family!
Ready to see my sister’s quick and easy braised balsamic chicken recipe? To serve this chicken dish recently, I made a side of garlic mashed red potatoes. The sauce from the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar is wonderful as a mashed potato “gravy” but if you’re looking for a lighter dish, you can serve the chicken with sauteed zucchini or green beans from the garden.

]]>This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cooked Perfect® Fire Grilled Chicken for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
St. Patrick’s Day is approaching fast, and as someone with a lot of Irish blood flowing through my veins, I love to celebrate each year in two ways. First, I wear lots of green (nobody wants to get pinched!) and second, I make some fun St. Patrick’s Day themed food. It’s easy to make green desserts for the kids, but dinner time can be a little trickier. This year, I was on a mission to find a meal that everyone would LOVE (and eat!) that didn’t take me all day to plan or prepare.
I hit the jackpot!
I think the BEST compliment I received after serving this delicious St. Patrick’s Day dinner was from my husband. Everyone loved the Cooked Perfect® Fire Grilled Chicken (Bourbon BBQ Wings!) and they were polished off pretty quickly. When my son wanted more chicken, I offered to heat some more up. My husband said that we’d finished it all, but I disagreed. I pulled a second bag of wings out of the freezer, and my husband said, “What?! That was frozen chicken? I totally thought you’d made those from scratch.”
Mission accomplished!
Because pre-dinner time is the busiest time in our house, I love finding meals that take some of the meal prep off my hands…especially when they taste THIS good. I grabbed two bags of the Bourbon BBQ Wings at the grocery store the other day (we have a big family – and teenagers – so I wanted to make sure we had plenty!).
Cooked Perfect Fire Grilled Chicken comes in a variety of tasty flavors, and you can choose a variety of cuts as well, such as wings, tenders, drumsticks, thighs or chunks. I was drawn to the Bourbon BBQ because it’s a flavor I know everyone in the family already likes, but I could have easily gone with any of the other flavors, like Buffalo Ranch, Wildflower Honey BBQ, Lemon Herb, Zesty Herbs and Spice, Szechuan, Korean Style, or Classic Style.
Seriously, my mouth is watering!
The best thing about Cooked Perfect Fire Grilled Chicken is that it is super flavorful, convenient and easy to prepare, and perfect for serving as-is with delicious sides. I decided to serve our Bourbon BBQ Chicken Wings with a side of broccoli and Irish-style mashed potatoes, or Colcannon.
Did I mention that this meal was a hit? Our colcannon side dish was so tasty, and I got it ready while the chicken was in the oven.
Ingredients:
1/2 a head cabbage, shredded
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 Tbsp butter
3 green onions, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1 cup milk (I used 2%)
4-6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
Directions:
1. Fill a large saucepan about 1/2 full with water; heat to boiling. Add chopped cabbage and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer cabbage until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set cabbage aside, leaving the cooking liquid in the pan.
2. Add the potatoes to the hot water; add additional water if needed to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes, then return them to the dry pot.
3. Meanwhile, heat butter and green onions in a medium saucepan for 2-3 minutes at medium heat. Add salt, pepper, parsley, and milk. Stir until heated through. Add bacon crumbles.
4. Stir hot milk mixture into drained potatoes. Add reserved cooked cabbage and mash together until mixed and smooth.
Serve hot with Cooked Perfect Fire Grilled Chicken for a perfect St. Patrick’s Day meal! I promise your family will not be disappointed!
Cooked Perfect Fire Grilled Chicken is found in the frozen foods aisle of your favorite grocery store, and is easy to prepare in the oven or microwave. We tried both methods and loved them both! find a store near you! Want more ideas? Browse Recipes & Save $1.50

]]>It is good to be back to our normal routine with Delicious Dishes…and yet it still feels awkward to be writing this week’s post without Aly here (see last week’s post if you missed the sad news).
I have to say, though, that Instant Pot recipes are my current passion. I use my Instant Pot to make dinner at least twice a week. There’s not a weekly menu plan that does not include something cooked in the Instant Pot, whether it be a simple beef stew or a favorite soup recipe, or a quick chicken-with-sauce-over-rice.
What are some of your favorite Instant Pot recipes?
