A Few Fries Short

Archive for March, 2012

Ever just realize that it’s dinner time and you have no idea what to make? Ever just stand there looking in the pantry thinking that you are tired of making the same stuff? I get this feeling at least twice a week. It is so simple and easy to use Holland House products everyday in your cooking. You can easily stir it into soups and sauces for an enhanced flavor.

Need some extra help making over your meals? Jump on over to the Holland House Facebook Page and enter the Meal Makeover Moms Sweepstakes!  Who are the The Meal Makeover Moms? They are registered dietitians who want to help our families eat healthier. Janice Newell Bissex and Liz Weiss say that kids will eat nutritious food without fussing about it if looks and tastes great.  Well of course! Who wants to eat something that looks gross and tastes nasty

Think you can’t cook? Do you watch those “30 Minute Meal” shows hoping to pick up something fast and easy? It’s true, you really can make something fast and simple in 30 minutes. I think this recipe would go great with some corn on the cob! It only takes 10 minutes to put together (It took me 7!) ans 20 minutes to bake. This is a much faster option to my previous Cajun Chicken recipe. I am loving these recipes so much for days when I don’t have a lot of time or I just don’t feel like getting into a long dinner process. My favorite part, not many dishes! I love these fast recipes because the chicken stays so moist. I hate dried out chicken.

Even if you aren’t living gluten-free, chances are you know someone who is. I watch posts go by on my Facebook feed from one of my friends who is on a Gluten-Free diet. It’s simply crazy and I really didn’t know that I could do it. I think I have this notion that anything that isn’t the “norm” for food just has to taste like garbage. I came across products from Udi’s and I slipped them into our daily eating to see if the boys would notice. Most of them they didn’t notice. But let me tell you who and what Udi’s is first!

I looked at this recipe and hesitated to make it. When I started making it, I wasn’t exactly sure how I was going to like the taste of cooked mayonnaise slathered on top of my chicken. I gave it a shot and surprisingly, it was delicious. I make a lot of chicken and this has to be one of the fastest and simplest chicken recipes I have ever made. The boys even asked for seconds. I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you and/or our family thinks!
