Dill-Buttermilk BBQ Chicken
Dill-Buttermilk BBQ Chicken This has been the craziest “spring” so far; it feels more like December than April. Sometimes though the sun peeks out like a little reminder that good things are ahead. That was the case when I made this dish; it was a beautiful afternoon that seemed like the season. Then it snowed. While we barbequed. Serves 4 ½ ...

Turkey and Dumplings I don’t know about you but I always make too much food, especially around the holidays so I have to come up with fun new ways to use up the leftovers; enter Turkey and Dumplings.

Low and Slow Roasted Chicken
Low and Slow Roasted Chicken I made this at my mother’s house out of necessity, it was supposed to be cooked in a slow cooker but she only has a small slow cooker so the chicken didn’t fit (I actually laughed so hard that I cried watching her try to fit the chicken in the slow cooker, she was so mad at me!). So anyway, I did a little research and ...
