Man-Pleasing Chicken (Simple Dinner Recipe) by Foodiewife

This recipe originally was posted on "Witty in the City" and went viral on Pinterest. It was adapted from the "I Love Trader Joe's" cookbook. I can see why this recipe is popular, because it's absolutely delicious! My husband, and adult son, love this dish and I've made it several times. The sauce is a savory/sweet blend of Dijon…

Aunt Esther's Sugar Cookies

Aunt Esther's Sugar Cookies by Foodiewife

I have no idea who Aunt Esther is/was, but I'd sure like to thank her for this recipe. The first time I tasted these, I asked my friend if they'd share the recipe-- and they did! I've made many delicious sugar cookie recipes, but this one is now ranked #1 favorite cookie of all time-- by my family and friends. When cooked, they are…

Strawberry Cream Cake

Strawberry Cream Cake by Foodiewife

I found this recipe in America's Test Kitchen cookbook (sister company to Cook's Illustrated). The cake is moist and just dense enough to keep the strawberry filling from turning the whole thing into a soggy mess! The whipped cream is combined with cream cheese, which yields a cream and sturdy frosting. This cake disappeared really…

Pressure Cooker Baby Back Ribs

Pressure Cooker Baby Back Ribs by Foodiewife

Seriously. Tender, falling off-the-bone ribs in 15 minutes, when you use a pressure cooker -- plus an extra ten minutes to make the most delicious "scratch" BBQ sauce you've ever tasted. Yes, it's true. I did it in my pressure cooker. BUT, you can adapt this to a slow cooker, only it will take you 6-8 hours to achieve what I did in 15…

There are a few things I love about this recipe: It's is how easy it is to make, without fancy ingredients. It's a one-pan dinner (makes for less cleanup) and-- it's comforting and delicious. The big bonus...you made it yourself without any scary ingredients from a box! This tastes even better the next day, and makes a perfect…

Pizza Wheels (Pizza Party Buns)

Pizza Wheels (Pizza Party Buns) by Foodiewife

This recipe comes from King Arthur Flour, and it's a winner! I love baking homemade cinnamon rolls, and I enjoy making my own pizza dough. Why had I never thought of making pizza rolls that are sliced and baked for hand-held pizza goodness, before??! These aren't difficult to make, and they are terrific for a party or just a…

Kaiserschmarrn (Emperor's Cut-Ups) by Foodiewife

Kaiserschmarrn or Kaiserschmarren is a shredded pancake, which has its name from the Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I, who was very fond of this kind of fluffy shredded pancake. It's a light and fluffy "pancake" that is perfect for Brunch-- or even as a light evening meal. In Bavaria, it is often served with a plum compote. We like…

Root Beer Baked Beans with bacon

Root Beer Baked Beans with bacon by Foodiewife

From "Cuisine At Home Magazine" With smoky bacon, sweet root beer, and a buttery bread crumb topping, everyone’s sure to enjoy these appetizing baked beans. I recently made these beans, only I realized (too late) that I didn't have root beer extract. I continued on, and skipped the buttery bread crumbs, too. Still, these beans were a…

Italian-Style Sloppy Joes by Foodiewife

Here's a new twist on a Classic Sloppy Joe-- one made with a thick spaghetti sauce and served over thick slices of garlic French bread. It's super simple to make, and my family loved it. Recipe is very slightly adapted from "The Pioneer Woman"

Raspberry Buttermilk Cake

Raspberry Buttermilk Cake by Foodiewife

This cake recipe comes from Gourmet Magazine and is very simple to make. The batter is so good, that I greedily licked the batter spoon. You can exchange raspberries for kind of berries, or try fresh peaches or apricots. This is very addicting and perfect to make for unexpected company.
