Best BBQ Chicken 🍗🍗😋😋 Ingredients: 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 large cloves cloves garlic, chopped 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 10 chicken drumsticks 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 0.5 cup finely chopped onion 0.75 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Directions: Mash brown sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a mortar and pestle to form a paste. Spoon paste into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with paste, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. For best results, marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour to overnight. When ready to cook, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from the bag. Cook chicken on the preheated grill until brown, 3 to 5 minutes, turning once halfway through. Turn off one of the burners and move chicken over indirect heat. Maintain the temperature at 300 to 350 degrees F (150 to 175 degrees C). Cook chicken for 20 minutes, turning halfway through. Baste with sauce, then continue to cook, basting every 10 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). #ComfortFood #homemade #HomemadeDesserts #SouthernClassics #VanillaWafers #SweetTreats #EasyRecipes #FamilyFavorites #HomemadeGoodness #SouthernCooking #CookingAtHome #Kitchen_Yumy

Add something to this plate Stuffed Cabbage Rolls 😋😋 Ingredients: ⅔ cup water ⅓ cup uncooked white rice 8 cabbage leaves 1 pound lean ground beef ¼ cup chopped onion 1 egg, slightly beaten 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed tomato soup, divided 1 teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper Directions: Cook the Rice: Bring the water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Prepare the Cabbage Leaves: While the rice is cooking, bring a large, wide saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add cabbage leaves and cook for 2 to 4 minutes or until softened; drain and set aside to cool. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, 1 cup of the cooked rice, chopped onion, slightly beaten egg, 2 tablespoons of the condensed tomato soup, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly. Assemble the Cabbage Rolls: Lay out each cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the center of each leaf. Fold in the sides and roll the leaf over the filling, tucking in the ends to secure the filling inside. Cook the Cabbage Rolls: Place the cabbage rolls seam side down in a large skillet. Pour the remaining condensed tomato soup over the cabbage rolls. Cover the skillet, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 40 minutes. During cooking, baste the rolls occasionally with the tomato soup to keep them moist and to add flavor. Serve: Serve the cabbage rolls hot, spooning some of the tomato soup sauce over the top. They can be accompanied by a side of mashed potatoes or additional steamed vegetables for a complete meal. #ComfortFood #homemade #HomemadeDesserts #SouthernClassics #VanillaWafers #SweetTreats #EasyRecipes #FamilyFavorites #HomemadeGoodness #SouthernCooking #CookingAtHome #Kitchen_Yumy

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches 🍗🍗😋😋😍😍 Ingredients: 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 (17.5 fluid ounce) bottle Buffalo wing sauce, divided 0.5 (1 ounce) package dry ranch salad dressing mix 2 tablespoons butter 6 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise Instructions: Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Pour 3/4 of the Buffalo wing sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle the dry ranch dressing mix over the sauce. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours. The chicken should be tender enough to shred easily with forks. Shred the Chicken: After cooking, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the slow cooker. This keeps the chicken moist as it soaks up the flavorful sauce. Stir in the butter until melted and combined with the chicken and sauce for extra richness. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the shredded buffalo chicken onto the split hoagie rolls. Drizzle with the remaining Buffalo sauce if desired for extra heat and flavor. Serve: Serve the sandwiches hot. You can add toppings like sliced red onions, lettuce, or blue cheese dressing to complement the spicy buffalo chicken. #ComfortFood #homemade #HomemadeDesserts #SouthernClassics #VanillaWafers #SweetTreats #EasyRecipes #FamilyFavorites #HomemadeGoodness #SouthernCooking #CookingAtHome #Kitchen_Yumy

Baked Caesar Chicken 🍗😍😍😋😋 Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 cup Caesar salad dressing ½ cup sour cream (optional) Directions: Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray an 8x11½-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare the Chicken: If the chicken breasts have uneven thickness, place them in a Ziplock bag and pound them to an even ¾-1 inch thickness using a meat mallet. This ensures even cooking. Sprinkle both sides of each breast with 1 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese and the freshly ground black pepper. Arrange the chicken in the prepared baking dish. Make the Caesar Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the Caesar salad dressing and sour cream until well combined. If you prefer a lighter version, you can omit the sour cream. Pour the Caesar dressing mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is nearly cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 150°F (65°C) when checked with a meat thermometer at the thickest part. Broil for Finishing: Turn the oven to broil and broil the chicken for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Watch it closely to prevent burning. Check that the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part. Rest Before Serving: Remove the chicken from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful. Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish with chopped parsley before serving. #ComfortFood #homemade #HomemadeDesserts #SouthernClassics #VanillaWafers #SweetTreats #EasyRecipes #FamilyFavorites #HomemadeGoodness #SouthernCooking #CookingAtHome #Kitchen_Yumy

The Perfect Garlic Butter Steak 🥩😍😍😋😋 Ingredients: 1 (12-ounce) rib-eye steak, at room temperature 1 tsp salt 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp pepper 1 tbsp olive oil 4 tbsp unsalted butter 2 sprigs rosemary 2 sprigs thyme 4-5 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed Directions: Prep and Season the Steak: Take the rib-eye steak out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Season both sides of the steak generously with salt, onion powder, and pepper. Cook the Steak: Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) over medium-high heat until hot. Place the steak in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms. Flip the steak, then add the unsalted butter, rosemary, thyme, and garlic cloves to the skillet. As the butter melts, spoon it over the steak repeatedly. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Garlic and Herb Basting: While the second side cooks, keep basting the steak with the buttery herb and garlic mixture. This not only flavors the steak but also helps cook it more evenly. Rest the Steak: Once the steak is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a cutting board or plate. Let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it juicier and more flavorful. Serve: After resting, slice the steak against the grain, and if desired, pour any remaining butter and herb mixture from the pan over the slices. #ComfortFood #homemade #HomemadeDesserts #SouthernClassics #VanillaWafers #SweetTreats #EasyRecipes #FamilyFavorites #HomemadeGoodness #SouthernCooking #CookingAtHome #Kitchen_Yumy Serve immediately.

Zucchini Fritters with a Creamy Garlic Sauce🥒😋😋 Ingredients: For the Zucchini Fritters: 2 lb zucchini (about 2 large or 5 medium) 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, divided 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 cup chopped green onions 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp ground black pepper Olive oil for sautéing Sour cream, to serve Directions: Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchini and trim off the ends. Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater or use a food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a large mixing bowl, stir in 1 tsp of salt, and set aside for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Drain the Zucchini: After 10 minutes, squeeze the zucchini tightly over the sink to remove as much water as possible. Using a cheesecloth can help extract more moisture. You should end up with about 3 1/2 to 4 cups of squeezed dry zucchini. Transfer the drained zucchini to a clean bowl. Make the Fritter Mixture: To the bowl of drained zucchini, add the chopped green onions and beaten eggs. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper. Add this dry mixture to the zucchini and stir until well combined. Cook the Fritters: Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron or non-stick) over medium heat and add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, spoon heaping tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet. Flatten the tops slightly to form pancake shapes. Sauté for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent them from browning too quickly. Serve: Serve the zucchini fritters warm with a dollop of sour cream on top. #ComfortFood #homemade #HomemadeDesserts #SouthernClassics #VanillaWafers #SweetTreats #EasyRecipes #FamilyFavorites #HomemadeGoodness #SouthernCooking #CookingAtHome

🫐🫐Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls🍰😋😋 Ingredients: 3 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 2 ½ tablespoons powdered sugar 1 8 oz tube of reduced-fat crescent roll dough (8 rolls) 2/3 cup fresh blueberries Directions: Preheat the oven to 375°F. This ensures that the oven is ready for baking once your rolls are prepared. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer (a hand mixer works well) to mix the ingredients until thoroughly combined and smooth. Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated seams. Lay one triangle of dough in front of you with the short flat side facing you and the long triangle pointing away. Assemble the rolls: Spread about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture across the bottom third of the dough triangle (the part closest to you). Top the cream cheese layer with two rows of blueberries. Starting from the edge closest to you, roll the dough forward all the way to the far tip of the triangle, enclosing the blueberries inside. Bake the rolls: Place the finished roll on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining ingredients to create a total of 8 rolls. Ensure they are not touching to allow even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown. Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.

Homemade Salmon Cakes 🐟😍😍😋😋 Ingredients: 1 lb fresh salmon filet Garlic salt (I use Lawry's brand) Black pepper Olive oil 1 medium onion (1 cup finely diced) 1/2 red bell pepper (diced) 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided) 1 cup Panko bread crumbs (Japanese Style crumbs) 2 large eggs (lightly beaten) 3 tablespoons mayo 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley Directions: Prepare the salmon: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared sheet. Brush with olive oil and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes or just until the salmon is cooked through (thinner cuts might take about 10 minutes). Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. After resting, discard the skin, flake the salmon with forks, removing any bones, and let it cool to room temperature. Cook the vegetables: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter, along with the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and golden, about 7-9 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix the salmon cake mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled flaked salmon, sautéed onion and pepper, bread crumbs, beaten eggs, mayo, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and fresh parsley. Stir to combine. Form the mixture into 13-14 patties using a flat ice cream scoop, then press them to about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. Cook the salmon cakes: Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large pan over medium heat. Once the butter stops sizzling, add half of the salmon cakes. Sauté for 3 1/2 to 4 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. If the cakes brown too quickly, reduce the heat. Remove the cooked cakes to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the remaining oil and butter to the pan and repeat with the remaining salmon cakes. #ComfortFood #homemade #HomemadeDesserts #SouthernClassics #VanillaWafers #SweetTreats #EasyRecipes #FamilyFavorites #HomemadeGoodness #SouthernCooking #CookingAtHome

Here's a tasty recipe for Chicken Patties, perfect for a quick meal or as a snack: Ingredients: 4 cups shredded chicken (from 2 large chicken breasts, 16 oz by weight) 2 large eggs 1/3 cup mayonnaise 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon parsley) 3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1 1/3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided for sautéing 1 cup Panko bread crumbs Lemon wedges, for serving Directions: Prepare the mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, flour, dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Add the shredded chicken and mozzarella cheese to the bowl. Stir until the chicken is well coated with the mixture. Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to form into patties. Form the patties: After chilling, use a trigger release ice cream scoop to divide the mixture into 12-15 portions. Form each portion into a 1/2-inch thick patty. Dip each patty on both sides in Panko bread crumbs to coat. Cook the patties: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place half of the patties in the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Add more oil as needed when flipping the patties or cooking the second batch. Finish and serve: As soon as the patties are cooked, sprinkle them with a little more salt and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve the patties warm with additional lemon wedges on the side. #ComfortFood #homemade #HomemadeDesserts #SouthernClassics #VanillaWafers #SweetTreats #EasyRecipes #FamilyFavorites #HomemadeGoodness #SouthernCooking #CookingAtHome

😍😋Blueberry Pancakes🥞🫐 Ingredients: 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 ¼ teaspoons white sugar ½ teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 1 egg ½ tablespoon butter, melted ½ cup frozen blueberries, thawed Directions: Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy. Stir in the melted butter. Gently fold in the thawed blueberries. Let the batter set aside for 1 hour, allowing the ingredients to meld and the batter to thicken slightly, which helps in creating fluffier pancakes. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve: Serve the pancakes hot, straight from the griddle. They are delicious with maple syrup, honey, or even a dollop of whipped cream. #Kitchen_Yumy #HomemadeDesserts #SouthernClassics #ComfortFood #VanillaWafers #SweetTreats #EasyRecipes #FamilyFavorites #ComfortFood #HomemadeGoodness #SouthernCooking
