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 her birthday supper! Little Sanctuary’s oven baked version here. Southern

Old Bay Chicken – Our Maryland Meal

Of course, after a full day at the beach jumping waves, building sandcastles…See why I loved this box of spices so much? It takes me away… Yet, we did
Buttermilk Fried Chicken by Southern Living
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 this morning. Only I didn’t have any buttermilk. So I
