Cracker Barrel Copycat Chicken and Dumplings

by Leave a Comment

We’ve been seeing weather that’s quite a bit cooler this week, so I’ve been craving some real comfort food. These homemade chicken and dumplings certainly fit the bill, and they’re super easy to make! Especially when you replace the poached chicken with a shredded rotisserie chicken.

This chicken and dumplings recipe is very similar to my favorite dish at Cracker Barrel. Enjoy a big bowl this weekend!

P.S. Rotisserie chickens are on rollback for just $4.98 at Walmart through the end of October making this even more economical. Yum!

Game Day Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

We’ll be making this yummy pulled pork recipe for our game day festivities tomorrow… The secret? Cooking the pork shoulder low and slow in your favorite cola beverage!

You simply won’t believe how tender and flavorful it turns out! My favorite way to serve this slow cooker pulled pork is on a toasted bun, topped off with an extra drizzle of barbecue sauce drizzled and a few sweet bread and butter pickles — such a fabulous flavor and texture combination.

Game Time Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe

by 1 Comment

This buffalo chicken dip is one of my favorite game time appetizers. It’s quick, easy, and delicious, and you can make it in either the oven or in the crockpot!


Note that this buffalo chicken dip recipe isn’t the straight Frank’s RedHot version. I’ve tweaked it to make it more like our favorite appetizer at our local bar and grill, a little saucier, with less chicken, and includes cheddar cheese. Try it this weekend — you won’t be sorry!

How To Make a Lemon Shake Up

Have you wondered how to make a lemon shake up at home? Yeah, I really didn’t either… As much as I love these drinks, it never occurred to me — until I found myself paying $5 for one at the Labor Day festival this past weekend. Yikes!!!


So I recreated my favorite fair beverage at home with this easy lemon shake up recipe. It’s delicious and refreshing, just like the original, but it clocks in at under $0.45 per serving!

What’s your favorite fair food — and have you ever tried to make it yourself at home?

Quick & Easy No Bake Bars

You won’t believe how easy these yummy no bake peanut butter bars are to make! You can endlessly customize them with my “no-bake formula,” not only with various mix-ins, but with the type of peanut butter and sweetener you use, as well.


The no bake bars pictured are made with almond butter, honey, old-fashioned oatmeal, dried cranberries, and unsweetened shredded coconut — soooo delicious! My kids eat them both for breakfast and as an after school snack, and I eat them pretty much any time I can get my hands on them. Sadly, they rarely last that long…
