Oven Fried Chicken

I made oven “fried” chicken tonight for dinner and it was so tasty!! The recipe calls for chicken parts, but I don’t mess with whole chickens, so I used chicken breast strips.

Homemade Cream Eggs

Another Easter treat that I love (and so does my mom!) are Cadbury Creme Eggs. When i posted about homemade Peeps the other day, I noticed that there was also a recipe for homemade cream eggs.

Homemade “Peeps”

I have at least one per year. There is something ooey-gooey good about those sugar sprinkled marshmallow treats. I can’t really explain it, but [...]
