Sassy Chicken Tenders


It's a crowd pleaser folks!

I whipped up a simple childhood favorite into a clean-plate gourmet meal. When your traditional frozen-bagged chicken nuggets aren't doin' it for ya anymore, I definitely recommend this one - Parmesan crusted tenders with a balsamic honey vinaigrette drizzle and garlic/chive mashed potatoes. Its fast, easy and healthy. By the time you pre-heat your oven for those frozen hockey pucks, you could be done searing your tenders and have the plate on the table.

Pop On Over


[pop-oh-ver]
-noun
a puffed muffin with a hollow center, made with a batter of flour, salt, egg, and milk.

Cheddar & Chive popover. I've didn't even know what a popover was until I stumbled upon this recipe but it looked really good and great for a savory breakfast snack.

Cookie Dough Truffles




So the other day, I was thinking that I needed something sweet in my life. I was introduced to these chocolate-chip cookie dough truffles at a Christmas party a few months back and they were absolutely to die for. I was so happy when I found the recipe online. They were so simple to make and the recipe makes about five dozen, so to say the least I had some left over. It worked out perfectly though, I wrapped up the extras and gave them to my friends as a sweet spring treat!
