We love our Tex-Mex flavors here at the cottage. This is one of my go-to slow cooker recipes that I love.

  These delicious wings are baked in the oven and glazed with a Orange Marmalade Glaze. They are the perfect wing bite for any gathering. Make up as many as you like, freeze them and they are ready to go whenever you need them. They are a winner every time!

  I remember making and eating this Onion Soup Chicken and Rice Casserole back in the late 1950's. I was going through some of my older recipes that are budget friendly and this is the one that caught my eye. I could almost taste this casserole, it is delicious as well as comforting. It really goes together and is on the table in no time. It is a great casserole for the family or a great covered dish for a dinner party.

  Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas recipe is simple and delicious, full of Tex-Mex flavor. This is a perfect busy day recipe when you need something special in the evening.  These Fajitas are tasty and tender enough to take to a great covered dish dinner. Just add a little lime wedge, some cilantro and cheese, and you have a fantastic Chicken Fajita!

  We love fried chicken, but this recipe for Crunchy Baked Chicken With Spicy Honey will sure give it a run for at least second place. This recipe is so easy and just full of crunchy flavor. The Spicy Honey gives it a special touch to drizzle over the finished chicken. I am serving it with our delicious  Tangy Lemon Cole Slaw ! This recipe will definitely be on our meal rotation list. 

When the temperature is 107 degrees and our area has a red flag warning which means we can't even use an outside grill, often times new recipes are developed out of need. That is how this recipe came to be at the cottage. I had prepared my spatchcock chicken for the grill and then had no place to grill it. I came up with the idea of placing it in my buffet crock pot, which turned out to be a delicious recipe. It is full of flavor and so easy to prepare, I will be using this new recipe over and over.

  I love the fresh flavor that lemon gives this delicious Lemon Skillet Chicken With Orzo and Spinach. This is one of those great family meals that is easy to make and goes on the table in a short time. I have even served this for an informal dinner for friends and it was great, everyone loved it. The chicken has a great marinade that gives the entire dish a very special flavor. The Orzo and the Spinach complete the dish making it a true one dish dinner.

  Our Creamy Parmesan Baked Chicken is a wonderful recipe in so many ways. It is so easy to prepare, the flavor is fantastic, it's on the table in no time. We are serving it with our  Orzo Spinach Salad With Honey Lemon Dressing . This recipe can be served for a family weeknight meal or dress it up for a friends dinner party. 

This delicious Roasted Turkey Breast with Fruit Sauce is a perfect choice for our Thanksgiving dinner this year. We won't be having the large family gatherings that we usually have so we are definitely downsizing the meal plan for this traditional dinner. This turkey breast is so moist and filled with bold flavors and a delightful fruit sauce. I am serving it with these  Roasted Spicy Sweet Potatoes  and our family favorite  Slow Cooker Cornbread Dressing . I can't wait to enjoy this on Thanksgiving day or any occasion throughout the year!

One Pot Chicken Piccata Spaghetti is a delicious creamy chicken piccata with delicate seasons and a great flavor. Prepared in one pot makes this a great recipe for a family dinner that is easy to prep and cooks up in a short time to get on the table for a hungry group. When I was a young homemaker and beginning to cook for my family we called these recipes one dish dinners, and it is still a one dish dinner. We just add some garlic bread and a salad and it is a great dinner.

Lemon Chicken & Veggie Kabobs is a very special grilling recipe that we really enjoy preparing at the cottage. It is almost the entire meal right here on these skewers. We have a great marinate for the chicken and one for the veggies that makes this combination such a special flavor. One fun thing about preparing a ka bob is that whatever you have on hand will work, because it will taste amazing! This is a great recipe that we sure hope you enjoy!

We really enjoy the addition of Green Chilis in any Tex-Mex recipe, they just have such a special flavor. Our Green Chili Chicken Burgers are very flavorful with a touch of fresh cilantro and other great spices. The Green Chili Sauce sets this burger apart from others. This is one of my husbands favorite Chicken Burgers, so I am going to spoil him a little bit today and make it very special just for him! My husband tested positive for Covid 19, 3 days ago, he is at home and doing very well. We are very grateful that he is able to stay at home so we can take really good care of him and spoil him a little. 

Our Southern Chicken Gravy and Biscuits recipe is truly straight from Grandma's kitchen. This skillet is full of pure southern comfort and we very rarely have any left overs. The recipe has chicken, vegetables and is smothered in a creamy chicken gravy. This recipe is a great way to use some left over chicken and vegetables and takes very little time to make. A great dish for a family dinner any time of the year. I am so glad you are here to enjoy it with me!

Island Skillet Chicken recipe is full of tropical flavors and is ready for the table in very little time. We really enjoy this recipe served over rice and garnished with a few rice noodles. There is really no reason to plan for the left overs of this dish because we never have any, it really is that good. This is one of those recipes that gets requested often.

I can't think of to many recipes that bring as much comfort as Chicken and Dumplings. This recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings gives the same flavor as old fashioned Chicken and Dumplings without the labor intensive preparation of that recipe. Just put this in the slow cooker and later in the day the magic happens, just add the dumplings and before to long you have a bowl of delicious goodness! This is a perfect family meal and goes great to a covered dish event.

This recipe brings together so many wonderful flavors that just make this a very special grilled chicken sandwich. I love to be able to grill out side, but if it is bad weather this recipe can always be made on a table top or stove top grill. This recipe can be made for two or twenty, its that easy and so very delicious! We recently served the sandwich to a crowd and it was a big hit!

If you are a Buffalo Chicken lover you are going to really enjoy this recipe for Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Meatballs. These meatballs are just delicious and can be used as an appetizer, on a sub roll making a great sandwich with a sharp dressing that completes this flavor fest! It takes no time to make the balls then put them into a slow cooker filled with Buffalo goodness and walk away for the magic to happen. When you come back later the balls are ready for you to use for your party, or a covered dish, they will be a hit at any event! A recipe bonus lets you freeze the meatballs up to 3 months and the dressing can be used as a spread, dip or dressing for a salad.

When I get a call to bring something over to someones home for a luncheon, or an impromptu gathering of friends, I don't always have a lot of time to put something together. When I got a call asking me to bring my Chicken Salad, I said sure and then thought this is a job for my Instant Pot. The Waldorf Chicken Salad turned out delicious and everyone at the luncheon just loved it. It took no time to prepare the chicken and it was so much better than the Grocery Store Rotisserie Chicken. The mix of the Waldorf Salad and chicken is a great combination and made a fantastic salad!

The cottage is a buzz this week, we have had some rain and the garden needs attention. We are trying to get our harvest in before the summer heat takes its toll on the delicate plants. Planning meals at this busy time of the year really helps to keep me on track and organized. I like to use as many garden vegetables and grill outside when we can. If you don't have a home garden, then you will find great vegetables at your local Farmers Market to help you with your meal plans.

Grilling season is a fun time to be outdoors with family and friends enjoying some awesome food from the grill. Our Grilled Hawaiian Chicken has a great flavor that is enhanced by a fantastic glaze that can be used on many different grilled meats. The chicken is marinated in a simple marinate over night and then its ready for the grill. This is a very simple recipe that gives a huge return in flavor.
