How To Make Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken

When I was a kid, I remember loving chicken legs. While I wasn’t really picky when it came to chicken, I always preferred the leg part. I had this favorite fast food restaurant that served the best chicken. As a kid, drumstick was really the most convenient to eat and the juiciest. But now that I’m an adult, my favorite switched to thighs. Thighs are simply the best chicken parts for me. And if someone argues, I really defend them.

I love chicken breasts too, but only for some meals. While they’re the best chicken meat for diet, they tend to get dry; and that’s not what I want in my meals. Chicken thighs are still the perfect parts to go to my savory meals.

My family loves chicken thighs too, but I have to admit I rarely cook them. They’re not really the healthiest, and that’s where breasts have the advantage. Because I will always consider the health of my family.

This Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken recipe from Recipe Girl involves breasts, however, I tried thighs with this too.

It’s need only has 4 ingredients and cooks in your slow-cooker, so you can get a delicious dinner on the table with minimal effort.

2 lb. (.9kg) chicken tenderloin chunks
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce

KFC ORIGINAL SECRET CHICKEN RECIPE

KFC Original Recipe Chicken has been a huge part of my childhood. As a kid my aunt would walk me home from school and we would stop at the KFC that was a half a block from my school. We’d share chicken and a strawberry parfait they used to sell. Unlike the Pioneer Chicken that my mom used to buy, this food memory is one I can still enjoy anytime I wanted.
So why make a copycat recipe of it if you have one a mile down the road? Well, A: Copycat recipes are a ton of fun and B: Way, way, way, way higher quality.

Have you been to a KFC in the last decade? I’ve only been a few times but was disappointed each time because the chicken pieces have shrunken… a lot. Also, and hey to each his own (I’m definitely guilty of my fair share of food sins), but KFC uses MSG in the recipe for its KFC Original Recipe Chicken. Oh, and last thing, as far as fast food goes, it tends to be pretty pricy.
So here we are all trying to decode the famous 11 herbs and spices. Everyone has theories, and according to KFC no one has EVER been right. So I have sort of watched the copycat rounds develop from a distance. Then something pretty awesome happened.

Ingredients

1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
3 beaten eggs
4 tablespoons oil

For the coating

2 cups flour
4 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (or chicken stock powder)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon tarragon
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon chives
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon celery salt

Directions
Sift flour and add together all the coating ingredients and grind finely with a mortar and pestle and place in a clean plastic bag. Coat each chicken piece first with the beaten egg, then with the flour mixture in the bag. Make sure you coat each piece completely with the flour.

Heat the oil in a skillet. Brown the chicken in oil slowly, uncovered. Once browned, cover the skillet and keeping frying on a very gentle heat until the chicken is fully cooked. Place on paper towels to drain out the excess

Grandma’s Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce

Warm your heart with memories while enjoying this old-fashioned bread pudding recipe served with our favorite sweet vanilla sauce for bread pudding. It’s a classic! Just like Granny made it, you’ll love this classic Old Fashioned Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce recipe! This warm and comforting recipe is best served any time of the year with your favorite brand of vanilla ice cream. Filled with the sweet flavors of vanilla, freshly ground nutmeg, plump raisins, and sugar, this recipe is the perfect way to end any meal.

ld fashioned bread pudding with vanilla sauce is an easy and simple homestead recipe to use up eggs, milk and stale bread. Comfort food at its best – breakfast, dessert, or snack! We found this recipe tucked inside my mom’s Bible when going through her things. It has become a family tradition on the first snow day of the year and if that doesn’t happen, which can be the case here in central Virginia, we know it’ll be the featured dessert at Easter and anytime a comfort food is in order.

This classic bread pudding recipe is made from just a few simple ingredients and full of homemade flavor. Top it off with a vanilla butter sauce! If you buy all of your milk and eggs from the grocery, and especially if you buy those fluffy mass-produced loaves of what my dad always called “baker’s fog”, then you might not consider any of those three frugal.

Pudding Ingredients:

• 4 cups (8 slices) cubed white bread

• 1/2 cup raisins

• 2 cups milk

• 1/4 cup butter

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 2eggs, slightly beaten

• 1 tablespoon vanilla

Sauce Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

• 1 tablespoon vanilla

Directions for Pudding:

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine bread and raisins in large bowl. Combine milk and 1/4 cup butter in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted (4 to 7 minutes). Pour milk mixture over bread; let stand 10 minutes.
Stir in all remaining pudding ingredients. Pour into greased 1 1/2-quart casserole. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until set in center.

Directions for Sauce:

Combine all sauce ingredients except vanilla in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and comes to a full boil (5 to 8 minutes). Stir in vanilla.
To serve, spoon warm pudding into individual dessert dishes; serve with sauce. Store refrigerated.

Caramel apple and cinnamon lasagna roll

Caramel Apple Cinnamon Lasagna Roll is a fun and delicious combination of classic apple caramel pie and delicious cinnamon roll. This sweet fall treat (just like the adorable Apple Crumb Cake) is a sweet treat, but it’s a great idea for an easy breakfast casserole, too.

Surely you all well know that I like to call my layered dessert creations – LASAGNA. I’ve yet to have Strawberry Jello Lasagna Baked, White Chocolate Lasagna, Caramel Pecan Lasagna, No-Bake Summer Berry Lasagna, Chocolate Lasagna, Christmas Lasagna, Key lime pie lasagna, and Pumpkin Lasagna. But these were all hearty desserts with cookie or shortbread crusts, pudding and cheesecake toppings and whipped topping.

For the Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll lasagna, I had a slightly different concept, but called it lasagna again. This is a twist on the classic apple pie. In fact, it looks like a layered apple pie.

Instead of the classic pie crust, I used a cinnamon roll. I cut each roll into a thin layer, rather than flattening it slightly and arranging it on the bottom of the baking dish. I topped it with a mixture of fresh apple cubes, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Then I drizzled caramel sauce over the apple pie filling and then topped with another layer of cinnamon rolls. However, given that this is a layered dessert, I repeat all these layers again.

Ingredients:

°2 packets of cinnamon rolls

°4 large apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)

°Half a cup of sugar

°1 teaspoon cinnamon

°Half a teaspoon of nutmeg

°1 tablespoon of cornstarch

°1/2 cup caramel sauce (or salted caramel sauce if you prefer)

Methods:

Preheat oven to 375°F and spray an 8″ x 8″ x 2″ glass or ceramic dish with nonstick spray (I used a 7″ x 9″ x 2″ ceramic dish).

In a bowl, mix apple cubes, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg to coat evenly.

Cut the cinnamon rolls into 1/2-inch strips and roll them out on a floured work surface until fluffy. Sprinkle it with flour, as it is very sticky and will fall apart when rolled. You can dust your hands with flour and tap it to loosen it up if you find it easier.

Arrange the first layer of flattened cinnamon rolls on the bottom and sides of the dish. Press them with your hands to seal them well.

Spread 1/2 apple out of the filling and drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of caramel sauce on top. Cover with another layer of cinnamon rolls.

Spread the remaining apples and pour again with caramel sauce. Cover with remaining flat cinnamon rolls.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown.

Leave to cool for at least 30 minutes, drizzle with icing (which comes with the cinnamon rolls) and serve.

How to make Texas toast with cheese

Garlic, Parmesan, mozzarella, and provolone on buttered bread is the best combination we found on semi-homemade cheese Texas Toast.

My family craves this semi-homemade Texas cheese toast, which is easy to make and tastes great with pasta meals or a savory casserole.

Thick Texas toast topped with melted butter, garlic, parmesan and oregano topped with two layers of melted mozzarella and provolone cheese is absolutely irresistible!

Watching the cheese bubbles and start to brown makes my mouth water as this bread bakes.

We love finding new ways to make the family meal more exciting.
