BBQ Beef Biscuits

Easy peasy recipe that will satisfy the bread lover in yourself!

What I used:

1lb ground beef
2/3 cup honey garlic bbq sauce
1 can grands biscuits
shredded cheddar cheese

Brown your beef and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Once your meat is cooked through add the bbq sauce and simmer until sauce is a little thickened.  Spray a jumbo muffin tin and smoosh the biscuit into the bottom and up the side of the muffin tin.  It is totally fine if your biscuit does not reach all the way up the sides.  Spoon some of your meat and bbq sauce mixture onto the top of the biscuit.  Be sure to not over fill your muffin tin because the bread is going to rise as it cooks.  Top with cheese and bake for 10-13 minutes and top with a smidgen of parsley if you so desire.  A simply tasty meal!!

From my kitchen to yours, enjoy!

Pineapple Soy and Maple Chicken

I have been looking for new recipes for my family, just tired of the same ole' same ole'!  This one was definitely a hit and it actually tasted like (American) Chinese food!  Definitely chalk full of flavor!


What I used:
One chicken breast cut into bite size pieces
1/2 cup maple syrup (reduced calorie and sugar free)
1/2 can of pineapple chunks (because I didn't have fresh on hand
1/4 cup soy sauce
garlic powder to taste

Served over rice but I imagine you could serve it over pasta as well!

Cook your chicken until cooked through.  Add your syrup, garlic, and soy sauce.  Cook until bubbly and then turn burner to low.  Allow to simmer and add in your pineapple.  The sauce will almost caramelize..... oh man was it ever good!  Once your sauce has thickened a little bit it's ready to meet your taste buds! 

Again, I served this over rice and my hubby said the only thing it was missing was the chop sticks (which I must admit I am like an infant when I try to eat with chopsticks but my hubby is a pro)!

Cheese and Pepperoni Grilled Panini

Desperate for a quick and super delicious meal?  This is definitely for you!

Ingredients:

Panini Bread
sliced cheese
pepperoni
butter
green pepper, sliced

Butter your bread like you would to prep a normal grilled cheese sandwich.  Place in your skillet and get it cookin'!

Layer your cheese, pepperoni, and pepper.  Top with your other buttered slice of bread and flip sandwich over (carefully!) to cook other side.

So delicious and dinner can be done in 5 minutes or less!

Wish I had taken a picture of it, but trust me, it was so delicious my kids gobbled it right up within a few minutes!!

From my kitchen to yours, Enjoy!
