Amazing Apricot Chicken

I love meals that are delicious, yet simple to make. This apricot chicken takes about 5 minutes to prepare and is very flavorful ! Everyone who has tried this recipe loves it ! I came across this recipe 6 or 7 years ago and it has remained a family favorite. This is perfect for those days when you just don't have a lot of time. The original recipe says to bake this chicken in the oven, but I prefer to make it in the crockpot.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals. These wraps have become one of our family favorites.

Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting. I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree. My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch. The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so. Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels, but...
