Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cut diagonally into the chicken breasts about 1/4 inch deep in an x shape to allow the bbq sauce to flavor more of the chicken. (like how a holiday ham has the top cut into an x shape).
  3. Add all the ingredients together in a large bowl and toss well together until mixed.
  4. Add the chicken to a sheet pan, then pour the sauce over the chicken breasts.
  5. Cook for 25 -30 minutes or until caramelized, browned and cooked through.
  6. Shred the chicken with the forks and serve in your favorite bun, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
  7. If the sauce didn't cook down enough (if you use a pan that's too small it may not), then add the sauce to a saucepan and cook on medium heat until thickened (likely 15-20 minutes).
Recipe Notes

Original Recipe:  https://dinnerthendessert.com/bbq-pulled-chicken/

I had a bit over 2 lb, so I think I should have had more sauce.  Also, we shredded the chicken, then mixed it together, covered the pan in foil, and put back in the oven for a few minutes, maybe 10-15 minutes.  Awesome!

I plan to do more work on the sauce - I think I can make it better!  🙂

Instructions
  1. Brown turkey sausage in skillet. Drain excess grease, leaving a little to make the gravy, maybe about a Tbsp.
  2. Add flour, stirring to coat the sausage thoroughly. Add milk slowly, stirring between small additions to avoid clumping.
  3. Heat to boiling, stirring VERY frequently, then turn down heat so it's just simering, and continue simmering until gravy is ALMOST as thick as you'd like - will thicken as it sits.
  4. If it's too thick for your taste, add more milk and warm back up. If not thick enough, add a little flour, and warm back up. In either case, stir pretty much constantly to avoid clumping or sticking or burning or...
  5. Serve on toast or biscuits, doesn't work too well with English muffins. Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. If using a really lean meat, prolly wanna use some non-stick spray on the loaf pan.
  2. Mix everything except ~1/2 C marinara sauce together. Place in loaf pan and either shape or prolly better, press so that it's even across the loaf pan.
  3. Bake for 25 minutes, then add remaining marinara sauce and bake another 25 minutes or until internal temp is correct for whatever meat you're using - 160F for ground beef, 165F ground turkey.
Recipe Notes

Work in progress - haven't made one of these meatloafs for quite a while!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a 9" square baking dish. I suggest placing the pan on a baking sheet to bake, covered, for 1 hour. Remove cover and continue baking for another hour.
  3. Prolly want to give a few minutes to cool a bit before eating.
  4. 1 serving is ~100g, about 3/4C.
Recipe Notes

Feel free to add barely cooked bacon pieces, and you can also use fresh diced onion and garlic, but I like that you can toss this together in just a few minutes with stuff that I at least usually have on hand all the time.  Enjoy!

Thanks, dad, for showing me how to make baked beans!  I've only built on what you showed me.

Instructions
  1. Grease generously and slightly flour bundt pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts (if you used) in bottom. P:lace all other cake ingredients in bowl and mix well at medium speed on electric for 5 minutes. Bake at 350F for 1 hour Cool cake in pan for 20 minutes, then frost.
  2. Frosting: Put all ingredients saucepan and bring to a boil; boil for 1 minute. Pour over cake in pan; leave in pan until completely cool, then turn upside down on cake plate.
Recipe Notes

This can also be made as a chocolate rum cake simply by swapping the yellow cake mix with chocolate cake mix, and the vanilla pudding for chocolate pudding. Get the driest possible cake mix, again, so that the syrup will soak in. (I haven't tried this yet, but I plan to for birthdays! (6.25.20))

If you can't find a super dry generic cake mix, try changing the syrup ingredients to 1/4 C each of water and rum.  (I haven't tried this yet - I found a great dry mix, for the yellow cake at least. (6.25.20))
