BROCCOLI TOTS  Broccoli Tots are a fun and healthy play on tater tots made with finely chopped broccoli in place of potatoes. I'd say that the most important part about making these is to make sure you get as much liquid out of the broccoli as possible before mixing it with the other ingredients. If not, they'll just fall apart and turn out soggy. Still tasty, but not as good as when they get that little bit of crisp on the outside. These little bite-sized broccoli tots would be great served as a size dish alongside Homemade Crunchy Baked Fish Sticks or Oven Fried Panko Crusted Chicken Drumsticks. It think they'd even be great as an appetizer! If you're a broccoli lover like me, or if you've been looking for more ways to prepare this good for you cruciferous vegetable, you've got to try these!

The Best Effing Chicken Recipe Ever — Seriously Finding a foolproof recipe for a kitchen staple like chicken is kind of like finding the holy grail these days. But today, you just might be in luck. Our friends at GFF Magazine have shared with us what they think could be the best chicken recipe . . . EVER. We tried the GFF Mag chicken recipe ourselves and discovered that it really does create a supercrisp skin with flavorful, moist meat. INGREDIENTS 1 large whole chicken (about 4 1/2 pounds), deboned (ask the butcher to do it for you) 1 teaspoon kosher salt DIRECTIONS Salt the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt 1 to 3 hours prior to cooking and reserve in the refrigerator until 10 minutes before cooking. Preheat the broiler. Put the chicken, skin-side up, on a rimmed sheet pan and place it under the broiler, about 3 inches from the heat, to brown and crisp the skin, about 10 minutes, rotating the pan a few times for even browning. Turn the oven temperature down to 250°F and cook for 25 min...

Eggs in Hash Brown Nests These are the perfect little side dish for Easter Brunch: Tender-but-crispy potato nests with a luscious baked egg in the middle. They go perfectly with ham for a more substantial brunch, or they’re great for a casual breakfast with a piece of bacon. Or two. Or three. Or nineteen. Let the eggs bake for 10-15 minutes, until they get to the level of doneness you’re looking for. I still like to have a little softness to the yolks, and mine baked for probably 12 minutes or so. * Note: Be assured that no matter what, all of your eggs will probably bake a little differently and won’t all look exactly the same on top. Some whites will look perfect, some might look a little funky. Some whites will cover the yolk, some will gloriously reveal the yolk. But that’s the beauty of these things! They’re rustic. INGREDIENTS 6 whole Medium Russet Potatoes (6 To 8) Salt And Pepper, to taste 24 whole Large Eggs Non-stick Cooking Spray INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 400 degrees....

GRILLED CHICKEN STREET TACOS My family goes crazy for these grilled chicken tacos, and I love how EASY they are to make! Marinated chicken thighs are grilled to perfection and served with warmed corn tortillas, pico de gallo, and cilantro. The past two weeks we have been using our grill to make dinner almost every single night. We’re a little obsessed. Nothing says summer to me like kids playing in the sprinklers in the backyard while Jeff and I heat up the BBQ and cook an amazing dinner. I love all of the fresh foods of summer. We LOVE any type of kebabs on the grill (these Cajun Chicken and Sausage Kebabs are Jeff’s all-time favorite). A huge family favorite are these Hawaiian Chicken Teriyaki Bowlsand we also love making grilled pizza or grilling steaks and hamburgers. These chicken tacos are also at the top of our list of favorites. They are so incredibly flavorful and EASY to make. You can make the marinade several days in advance, if you want, and you could even marinate the chic...

Taco Pizza Recipe I’m always on the lookout for simple recipes that my family will enjoy, especially when it comes to dinner. I love to cook but there are many days when I don’t have an hour+ to prepare a meal. With summer on the horizon and lots of family fun planned, I’ve been searching for quick and easy family dinners.  That’s when I found and adapted this Taco Pizza recipe.  With a cream cheese/sour cream “sauce” and spicy taco flavor, Taco Pizza is a great as an easy family dinner or a tasty appetizer.

How to Make Taco Pizza: Ingredients: 2 tubes (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened 1 cup (8 oz) sour...

Pan Fried Beef Tacos Check out our other recipes! Once you try these Pan Fried Beef Tacos you might never make them the same way again! Pan fry a taco? For what reason? Well, I asked the same thing when Christie asked me if I wanted to try out something different for taco night. It seemed to me that it was just like a quesadilla if you make them this way – but I was proven wrong. It’s not. When we make quesadillas it’s definitely mostly cheese. We’ve made Chicken Enchilada Quesadillas or Sausage and Peppers Quesadillas, but it’s all about the cheese. But for these Pan Fried Beef Tacos, the starring role goes to the beef. So it’s basically the tastiest beef taco with a crispy shell. And the best part about making a pan fried taco? They don’t fall apart when you eat them. That for me is a win win. I swear when the boys eat tacos half of what they are eating ends up on the plate and not in their mouths. Not with these tacos, just pick up and eat. Everything stays in place. The beef fillin...
