Tiny sandwiches, stuffed with tender, cool, creamy, crunchy slaw and flavorful buffalo chicken are going to be perfect for dinner on a busy night, a quick day snack, as an appetizer on game day, or on your next holiday party spread. What’s not to love about Buffalo chicken? It’s tangy, perfectly spicy, buttery, and ultra tasty. Plus, shredded buffalo chicken is simple to make! While you can make shredded chicken in the crockpot, or boiled chicken breasts, for this recipe I find it easier to sear chicken breasts in a skillet and finish them in the oven before shredding and seasoning them with wing sauce and ranch dressing....

This is one of my favorite recipes for fried chicken. It relies on a buttermilk marinade which you’ll soak the chicken in for a few hours, then a quick roll in the seasoned flour mix, followed by a few minutes in a deep-fry bath. The actual hands-on time for this recipe is about 20 minutes, which is exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for when making dinner after a long day!...

This is the one! The only recipe for Chicken Pot Pie that you will ever need! I’ve made chicken pot pie using a shortcut before, and it’s delicious. That recipe uses puff pastry, but it’s not quite right if you’re looking for an old-fashioned pot pie with a real pie crust. So I played with the recipe, made it even better, and baked the chicken pot pie filling using a double all-butter pie crust....

If after your turkey feast, you have extra turkey on hand, I have a few great recipes for you to repurpose all the turkey. This salad is one of my absolute favorites, it’s simple, takes just 15 minutes to make from start to finish, and the kids love it too. I used all white meat after I roasted a bone in turkey breast, but you can use dark meat here too if you were roasting a whole turkey, or roasting just turkey legs....

When writing a recipe, I like to spell out all my measurements. For example, I write tablespoon instead of tbsp. This is a personal choice, but it also prevents any error in reading because tbsp is very close to tsp and can easily be mistaken. Below, I have created a comprehensive guide, as well as the necessary abbreviations. Recipe Measurement Abbreviations fl. oz = fluid ounce Ml = milliliter L = liter (litre) Gal = gallon g = gram Oz = ounce Pt....

If you have never tried Veg puff before, you are missing out on something truly delicious! Quick and Easy Homemade Veg puff pastry As someone who has grown up indulging in Iyengar bakery puffs every vacation to Bangalore, I can honestly say that this recipe for homemade Vegetable Puff is a game-changer. One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s super easy to make, thanks to the use of ready-made puff pastry sheets....

Just because the cold weather is here doesn’t mean we can’t eat salads. This is a perfect warm Winter dinner side dish for chicken, shrimp or any lean meat. I served it with simply sautéed citrus and chili shrimp. What is farro? Farro is a nutrient-packed whole grain. With a chewy texture and nutty flavor, can be used in place of rice in just about any dish. There’s a lot going on in this Warm Farro Salad with Cranberries & Pistachio Salad and as well as it all being good for you, all the flavors complement each other....

I’m so excited to share this cocktail with you guys. I’m obsessed with it! There is something about the combination of tequila and watermelon that is just perfection. In fact, you don’t even need to make it a margarita. Just the watermelon juice and tequila over ice is the perfect refreshing summer cocktail. Triple Sec or Cointreau When you are buying your ingredients for this cocktail, you want to consider whether you want triple sec or Cointreau for your orange liqueur....

What are Alfajores? Alfajores are an amazing traditional sweet treat that comes from Argentina. They are soft and tender sandwich cookies with a filling of caramelly dulce de leche. Usually, they’re rolled in shredded coconut and dusted with powdered sugar. These South American cookies are a delicious combination of simple flavors and varied textures that make them irresistibly good! I love trying dessert recipes from countries all around the globe! If you do too, be sure to try my Brazilian Carrot Cake, Canadian Nanaimo Bars, and Polish Kolackzi Cookies....

I love babkas—sweet-salty brioche bread filled with something delicious, like chocolate or, in this case, cooked apples with cinnamon. The first time I made this apple babka, I was stingy with apples, and I immediately regretted that. When it comes to babkas, more is still less. You want to get that warm apple and cinnamon filling in every bite. When you pull the babka apart, you should get those buttery layers in your hand....

So I think it’s kind of funny that she writes novels. Although it shouldn’t be funny, because the ability to tell a good story is no doubt in a completely separate part of your brain than the part that makes you a good speller. I’d take the storytelling gene any day. Her years of hard work are finally starting to pay off. Last weekend her manuscript won the Grand Prize for all categories at a writing conference she attended....

My husband’s sister Jessie is getting married next month, and I have one job: buy gold shoes to match the dress I am wearing as a bridesmaid. This may sound like a fun thing to you. That’s because you’re a real girl. I was wearing my $20 gold Target flats when I got the group text that I would be responsible for picking out my own shoes. “12-month old Target shoes will work right?...

So even though I have been flooding my Facebook page with pumpkin recipes lately, we are still in the thick of summer. And I have just one or two summer recipes for you up my sleeve. The first one is this Bailey’s Dessert Fluff. You guys, before this summer I had no idea how much ya’ll love yourself some cool whip and marshmallows together. But once I posted my Strawberry Banana Fluff and it went super crazy, I knew I had to make more....

Storing Leftovers If you have any leftover BBQ pizza, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat by baking in the oven for 10 minutes. Leftovers should only be reheated once. Always use your best judgment when it comes to reheating and eating leftovers. The next time that you are having pizza night at your house, make my delicious BBQ Chicken Pizza recipe. The base starts with my amazing BBQ sauce and it just gets better from there....

My daughter Valentine is 2, and tosses out random greetings all the time. “Hi mom!” And I always say, “Hi sweetie!” But my phone thinks that I’m saying “Hey Siri.” Every time. 100x a day. And then, after already interrupting my podcast, she waits…”I’m listening.” Well STOP it Siri. You’re freaking me out. I only want you listening to me when I need to set timers for my kids when they are supposed to be doing something they don’t want to do....

I never have the patience to fold a fitted sheet correctly. I also don’t know how, but I’m pretty sure that even if I did I never would. I am horrible at cracking eggs, but I still never do it into a separate bowl. Total rebel. Drinking through straws is always more fun. The day I crave a tall glass of chocolate milk is usually the day I realize I am running low on milk....

Spinach Bacon Frittata ingredients Here’s a quick shopping list to help you gather your ingredients. See the recipe card below for the full ingredients and instructions! Eric and I went to a festival in San Francisco last week called Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Free music, greasy food, and lots of really, really drunk people. Always entertaining, especially for the sober people (us). We wanted to go because we are borderline-obsessed with Ryan Adams, who was headlining....
