This is the best pulled pork that I have ever made. I was super delicious! I loved the flavors. I ate leftovers for days and never got tired of it. We don't have a fancy grill that we can control the temperature on, so I made this pork in the slow cooker. I thought it turned out great. I prepped the pork the night before and refrigerated it overnight. I threw the pork in the slow
Memorial Day is right around the corner. I am already testing out my menu. I decided to make my own BBQ Seasoning this year. I love to make my own seasonings because you can control the amount of salt and other ingredients. This is great sprinkled on chicken, pork or even burgers. It will keep for several months in an air-tight container. This BBQ seasoning is easy to make, and it makes a g

The folks at DiGiorno contacted me to see if I would be interested in trying their new Pizzeria! Pizza. Since pizza is my favorite food, I said "YES!" DiGirono sent me coupons for two free pizzas. The Pizzeria! pizza comes in 4 varieties: Quattro Formaggi, Italian Style Meat Trio, Supreme Speciale, and Primo Pepperoni. I chose Quattro Formaggi and Italian Style Meat

These mini applesauce muffins are so delicious. My favorite part of the muffin is the crunchy cinnamon sugar coating on top. These muffins don't have an overwhelming applesauce flavor; so no worries if you don't like applesauce. The applesauce really helps keep these muffins super moist. The muffins are quick and easy to make. I can whip them up in the time it takes to pre
I've had this recipe pinned for a while. I wanted to make it because the main ingredient is bacon. I have lots of breakfast casseroles on the blog, but not very many (if any) with bacon. I tend to use sausage in my breakfast casseroles. I finally decided to give it a try when the nice folks at McCormick sent me some spices to test out. WOW! This is fantastic. I love that the bread g
This recipe was inspired by a show on the Travel Channel. They went through the 10 best pizza places in the US. I am a pizza fanatic, so you know I couldn't miss that show. They showed some pizza that looked good and some that was just OK. The pizza I was most intrigued with was the Mac & Cheese Pizza. People were going nuts over it. I had to give it a try at home.

Recently, The Pampered Chef sent me a box full of goodies. They asked me to make a pink recipe in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I decided to make these Cherry Cannoli Cones. Aren't they cute? They also taste great. This is a really simple recipe and doesn't require many ingredients. I drained the ricotta cheese overnight so it wasn't too wet. I sifted some powde
If you follow Plain Chicken, you know that I love Mexican style food. I am really looking forward to Cinco de Mayo this weekend!

This is a big weekend. We have Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby. I view both as a great excuse to celebrate. Am I right?! I am not a horse racing fan, but we always watch the Kentucky Derby. I feel the best way to watch the race is with a Mint Julep in one hand and a slice of this pie in the other. This pie is a cross between a chocolate chip cookie and pecan pie. It is great s
Cinco de Mayo is this weekend. It is one of my favorite "holidays". I never miss a chance to drink a margarita and eat Mexican food! Last year I made a Tres Leches Cake. It was the first time I had ever tried Tres Leches Cake and it was so delicious. This year I decided to experiment with a Chocolate Tres Leches Cake. I took a shortcut and used a chocolate cake mix with so
This is another one-pot meal. I am really loving the convenience of less dirty dishes! I cooked the chicken and the rice mixture in my Calphalon non-stick skillet and it took no time at all. I marinated the chicken first thing in the morning in my favorite Lawry's marinade - Baja Chipotle. I know a lot of people have a hard time finding the Baja Chipotle Marinade (I buy it all the t

This is another one of my no-boil pasta dishes. I am officially obsessed with this cooking technique! This no-boil pasta is my take on Chicken Parmesan Pasta. It has all the flavors of Chicken Parmesan without the frying. I used chopped chicken in the pasta and added some bread crumbs and mozzarella cheese on top. It was SO delicious! This makes a ton and is very filling. Plan on
Pizza is my all-time favorite food. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The other day I was in the mood for deep dish pizza. I wanted something quick, so a traditional deep dish pizza was out of the question. I had a can of crescent rolls in the fridge, so I made these deep dish pizza cupcakes. They were SO good. They took about 20 minutes from start to finish. We had
This manicotti was easy and super delicious. It tasted like it was from our favorite restaurant. I used egg roll wrappers in place of the pasta tubes, since they are basically just fresh pasta sheets. They turned out great, and I didn't have to boil the pasta sheets! That is always a win in my book. I used a three cheese mixture, but I think this would be a really good dish to s
Chicken Legs' loves egg salad sandwiches. They are his all-time favorite. He would eat them every day if he could. I decided to try a new version of egg salad last weekend - Scrambled Egg Salad. Instead of hard boiling the eggs, I scrambled the eggs. It was so quick and much easier than boiling and peeling eggs. It only took about 5 minutes to throw this together. The best part

Saturday is A-Day for both Auburn and Alabama. I am really excited to see our football friends and get a taste of college football for a day! No football gathering is complete without food. I made a batch of these super cute chocolate covered peanut butter pretzel football bites - that's a mouthful - for the party tomorrow. These are simple to make and SO much fun to eat. I dip
I am in love with no-boil pasta recipes. Boiling pasta isn't a big deal, but it takes time for the water to boil and then cook the pasta. Not to mention the extra dirty dish. This pasta dish is literally a one-pot dish. This was so creamy and delicious. I cheated and used the new Oscar Meyer Turkey Bacon Bits in this dish. I saw them when I was grocery shopping and
These brownies were OMGlicious! You must make these ASAP. Luckily, these are super easy to make. I used a box of brownie mix for the base and made the peanut butter frosting on top. The frosting only took a minute to whip up and tasted incredible! These are pretty rich, so I suggest cutting these into small squares. The small squares also enable you to eat more without feeling as guilty
Skirt steak has quickly become our favorite meat to grill. It is inexpensive, quick and easy to cook, and it tastes incredible. We have been seeing a lot of commercials for Parmesan Crusted Steak at various restaurants. We decided to create our own version with skirt steak. We marinated the skirt steak in a garlic ranch mixture and grilled it. Once it was done (about 9 minutes), we put t

It's Masters Week! The Masters golf tournament is a big event at our house. Chicken Legs clears his schedule and watches the entire tournament. This year they are even televising the putting green and driving range. Masters overload! A few years ago we were lucky enough to get tickets for two days of the practice rounds. It was so much fun. The course is incredibly beautiful. O
If it were up to me, Cheez-Its would be a food group all on their own. There is no better snack than a box of Cheez-Its (Cheetos are a close second). That said, you need to make these muffins ASAP!

Sloppy Joes are one of Chicken Legs' favorite meals. I have never really been a fan until now. These easy Italian Sloppy Joes won me over. They are so good! I used a mixture of hamburger and Italian sausage and it worked great. These only took a few minutes to make. You are just cooking the meat and letting it simmer in some spaghetti sauce for about 5 minutes. You can save on tim
This is no ordinary Chicken and Rice. This is "Cracked Out" Chicken and Rice - chicken, rice, cheddar, Ranch and bacon. YUM! This takes ordinary chicken and rice from good to great!

Back in January, I met with two representatives from Calphalon. We had lunch and they told me all about their cookware and their new program called "Your Set by Calphalon". It is really a neat concept. You start off by selecting either the AccuCore Stainless Steel or Unison Nonstick 5-piece set and then add the pieces you want to complete your set. You buy the additional pi
We tried our hand at grilling bone-in pork chops last weekend. I found a version of this recipe on Pinterest and traced the original back to Patio Daddio BBQ. I made a few changes to suit our tastes, and they turned out great! The pork chops are marinated in Italian dressing and basted with an Italian balsamic sauce. We both loved all the flavors in the pork. I let the pork chops hang o
I've seen this recipe floating around on Pinterest for a while. It appears to originally have come from Witty In The City. I was skeptical that the chicken was as great as everyone said. Mustard and maple syrup didn't sound good to me - at all. I finally broke down and let me tell you, this is the BEST CHICKEN EVER! I was stunned. I did tweak the original recipe a bit to mak

I hope everyone had a great Easter. If you are like me, you probably have some leftover ham and boiled eggs. Well, this recipe is the perfect way to use both of them up. Chicken Legs LOVES egg salad. I don't make it for him enough because I hate the smell of eggs and I also despise mayonnaise . I had leftover ham andI decided to be nice and make him a big batch of this ham and egg s

This dish combines two of my favorite foods - pizza and pasta. We absolutely LOVED this! I think it was the fresh mozzarella that really put this over the top for us. I wanted to eat the entire skillet of pasta myself. This is surprisingly simple to make. It uses a jar of pasta sauce. Everything is cooked in the skillet and the cheese and pepperoni are browned under the broiler. Thi
I make a lot of taquitos, but I've never made flautas. As far I can tell, taquitos use corn tortillas and flautas use flour tortillas. These are by no means authentic flautas. Authentic taquitos and flautas are fried. I baked mine because I don't like to fry food at home. It is so messy, and I never know what to do with the used oil. I had some leftover flour t
We came up with this idea while were having dinner in the Italy Pavilion at Epcot. We were brainstorming about recipes (doesn't everybody do that?), and Chicken Legs asked if we could make Italian fajitas. We thought about it and decided that we could change up our favorite fajita recipe and give it an Italian flare. The fajitas turned out GREAT! I used a can of diced tomatoes with
Back at Christmas, someone brought a lemon pie to the office that was super delicious. It didn't look like your average lemon pie. It looked more like a cool whip pie.
