“Can we have chicken packets?” Sure! I said. Until I realized we didn’t have the crescent rolls called for in our favorite, easy recipe. Hmmm. How about the chicken and cream cheese mixture over spaghetti noodles? I was skeptical. But at supper I heard,”Can we have chicken packet spaghetti every week?” Great for left over [...]

Talk about a Hodgepodge favorite! Ever since my friend, Little Sanctuary, posted her Mexican Chicken recipe, we’ve enjoyed it at least once a month. That was until I found a slow cooker version of it. Now we sometimes enjoy it even more times than that. Most requested by eldest girl. It’s what she’s asked for [...]
For Sunday lunch we enjoyed this slow cooker rotisserie chicken recipe from Hillbilly Housewife. It’s like one of those you get at the grocery store deli – except homemade – and cheaper. Even the picky ones yum it up. We enjoyed it with rice and garden vegetables. You throw that chicken in there, doused with [...]

My children clap when they find out it is what we are having for supper. All you do is open two [...]

One of the exciting gifts we received in our Pay it Forward package from All Things Beautiful was Old Bay Seasoning. Ideally you use a few shakes of this on a pound or two of shrimp. Of course, after a full day at the beach jumping waves, building sandcastles…See why I loved this box of [...]
I’m so glad eldest girl requested fried chicken. Otherwise I wouldn’t have tried this recipe from Southern Living’s February issue. It just calls for buttermilk, chicken, flour, salt and pepper. Sounds cheap and easy. It does take some pre-planning. But I did manage to remember to put the chicken in its buttermilk soak at 7 [...]

I’ve been browsing my Southern Living magazines and their site for a fresh, two weeks worth of meal ideas. With a few Hodgepodge favorites thrown in for good measure. [...]
