Chicken Wraps with a Southwest Sauce

This was a recipe that I stumbled across a few summers ago and it's turned into a regular meal during the grilling months! The chicken gets marinated for a few hours which makes all the difference!  The original recipe served the chicken on an onion roll with the sauce but I found the bread to be a little overpowering, so we make a wrap out of it instead.

BBQ Chicken Pizza with Broccoli Pasta Salad

Over the weekend we had pizza and salad again, so good! This time I attempted a BBQ chicken pizza and the broccoli salad, both were a success!

Excuse the blurry photo!

Broccoli Pasta Salad

2 cups uncooked pasta of choice (cook according to box directions)

3 broccoli heads, cut into small florets

1/4 cup chopped green onion

3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/2 cup mayo

1/4 cup sugar

1/4-1/4 cup Italian dressing

salt to taste

Sunflower seeds (optional)

Raisins (optional)

Mix all ingredients together, adjusting to your preferences.

Pizza Hut pizza

Admit it, sometimes you get a hankering for some seriously greasy pizza! And I don't think there is any pizza greasier than Pizza Hut's pizza, lol.

I've been meaning to try this recipe for a while already, I hate frozen pizza and sometimes it's hard to order one when you know you can make it so much cheaper at home! So off I went in search of this recipe, although you don't have to search too hard since one quick google search shown tons of results. I did change it just a smidge since I use traditional yeast vs the instant. So I'll post how I did it.

Fried Chicken, Redneck style

As the post title indicates, it's time to get your redneck on, lol. This chicken is so simple to make and it's one of my favourites. But don't expect to see this served at a nice dinner.

Apple Dapple Cake

This is the cake that almost wasn't, simply because we almost ate it before I could snap a shot of it! I had a few friends over for coffee and this was served, and then the kids got home from school and more was served. And then the following morning as I stared at the last piece I realized I better get the camera out!

This cake reminds me of fall, and it's perfect with a cup of coffee on a cold day.
