Chicken Cesar Salad

This is my favorite Cesar Dressing- I prefer mine over any restaurants, it is so good. I also make the croutons which are very simple i just butter slices of Italian, french, or whatever bread you have around and then cut into chunks and bake for 8-10 min at 400!! here is the dressing recipe

1/2 C mayo

1/4 C parmesan

1 tsp garlic

1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp hot sauce

just combined all the ingredients - it is very thick so just toss well in salad! Cook your chicken however you would like and throw it in. its GREAT!!

Pull apart Sticky buns!

hmmm- mmm these are good and so easy you don't even have to think about it. perfect for a breakfast, brunch, or just a simple dessert. You can also adjust to what you like- if you want more cinnamon add it. I added more syrup over top of the biscuits :)

1 tube of Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits

3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1/2 C. pancake syrup
1/3 C. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 C. chopped pecans, opt.
1/4 C. chopped almonds, opt

Spray a fluted pan with non-stick spray. Combine the melted butter and syrup in a small bowl and set aside. In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Place about half of the syrup mixture in the bottom of the pan. sprinkle half of the sugar mixture over the syrup. lay biscuits of on the syrup overlapping each other, until they meet on the other side. Top with the remaining syrup and sugar. Bake at 375 for 20 min. cool for 1-2 min and flip over on serving plate and enjoy!!

Chicken lettuce wraps

OK so I just worked 10.5 hours and dinner had to be quick- with that said I cheated tonight! I made these chicken lettuce wraps that I bought from costco- they are by ling ling and very good. All I had to do is throw in into a pan and pour sauce and its so much healthier than making a frozen pizza or take out!

Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

The bread is smaller than it first was because my kids took 3 pieces out! Today out of my long day I decided to bake a chocolate chip pound cake; and it was good! I halved the recipe and did not make the chocolate frosting for the top and it turned out just great and sweet enough without it.

Beef Stew or Pot Roast

Tonight I made a beef stew with a new recipe- It was one of the easiest meals to make and very good to eat. I used beef stew chunks because they are easier for us to eat and I prefer them. I also used 2 cups of water because I like more juice in my stew to dip my bread!!

• 1 packet of env. ranch dressing mix
  


• 1 packet of env. Italian dressing mix
  


• 1 packet of brown gravy mix
  


• 1.5-2 C of water.



• bag of baby carrots



• potatoes



• 2-5 lbs beef stew chunks or pot roast

Put the carrots, beef, and potatoes in the crock pot and pour all 3 of the env. mixes over the vegetables and meat. Pour water over everything stir and cook 6-8 hrs on low in crock pot. enjoy!!

I seen this recipe in the food and wine magazine and it looked amazing! I made it tonight and it was very good, if you wan a quick and easy recipe this is it. I had to add chicken to it for my husband who has to have a protein or meat included in each meal :) but it was a nice touch.
