Sloppy Joe's

When I was first married I made these for Mike, he so surprised that I had made these from scratch instead of from a can.  It was really fun to cook for Mike because everything I made he was amazed with!  We have had many good laughs from those early years.
These have become one of our family favorites as well as a McCain favorite as well.  I usually make a whole batch and we then have leftovers for lunch the next day or dinner the next evening.  I really love to serve these with the homemade hamburger buns I have posted in the past, but feel free to just by hamburger buns as well.  In the summer we like corn on the cob, but in the winter I serve it with sweet corn and fruit.  A very easy dinner for those busy weekday nights!

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.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. 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!

Lindt Truffle Chocolate Cupcakes

These cupcakes are beyond delicious!   Divine is how my sister Becky described them.  I served these at her Bridal Shower on Saturday and everybody loved them!  I honestly think they are the best cupcakes I have ever eaten .  I'm not the only one who had that opinion either :) These are a chocolate lovers dream.  Here's the rundown.  A Lindt Lindor truffle is baked in the center of a rich and very moist devils food cupcake.

Hawaiian Grilled Chicken

Since this chicken came into our lives, we have had it for many happy dinners.  I can't claim that every member of my family loves, or even likes, every meal I make, but this is an exception.  There are no complaints with this chicken.  So flavorful! I started out making this recipe with chicken breasts, but have since started making it with chicken thighs which are even more tender and juicy.  Either one works though.  You need to try this out before grilling season is over! I love to serve this with grilled pineapple and coconut rice (see note).  Such a perfect Summer meal!
