This entree is easy and delicious! It’s one of my husband’s favorites! Try to use the largest chicken breasts you can find so you’ll be able to roll them easier.

A simple way to prepare chicken that looks like you spent a lot of time preparing. It can also be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until baked. Be sure to use a good quality pesto for best results. I like to serve it with pasta, but it is also nice sliced and served on a green salad.

Like fried cabbage? Then you are in for a treat. This is easy and most kids are actually surprised that it tastes better than it looks! I add about 2 tablespoons sugar simply to soften the taste and make my kids happy. But it is delicious without the sugar, and when I leave it out, I don’t tell them and they never say a word!

These are the best I’ve had, short of the actual grilling method of course! This is a very simple recipe that I came up with a few years ago. It’s not rocket science, just ribs cooked in the slow cooker and finished in the oven. This is what I do when I want ribs during the week and have to work all day. I’m eating them within a half-hour of getting home, and they turn out perfect every time!

My family and I love chicken wings, especially during football season. I just got tired of spending so much money on wings for our party that I decided to whip up my own version of Wing Stop’s® lemon pepper chicken wings. The ending result was an empty platter and pleased bellies.
