A Fall Road Trip & Family Recipes

October 20, 2025October 19, 2025 RefreshHer2 Comments

I had the blessing of making a trip to Kentucky this weekend to visit with my mom. The trip here was a beautiful fall drive through the Cumberland Gap. The trip on that route is always refreshing, but on Saturday the colors made me gasp! The curvy roads dotted with barns and silos were even prettier with the autumn colors as a backdrop. I’m thankful that the trip is an easy one. I enjoy listening to an audio book while I drive. It truly makes the time pass quickly. Then conversations with my girls and my husband also made the trip easier!

Not long after I arrived at my mom’s house she said, “Guess what we’re having for supper?” Many things popped into my head that she is known for, but before I had a time to start guessing she said, “Herbed Chicken!” Oh my, this recipe takes fried chicken up a sophisticated notch! The chicken breast is filled with an herbed cream cheese mixture and it’s heavenly! I haven’t made it for a couple of years, so I was excited about the supper meal coming in a few hours! I first shared the recipe here – a long time ago!

Flavorful Chicken Wings Without Frying

I have a confession – I had never made Chicken Wings until two weeks ago. Now I understand the rage! The great thing about the recipe I used was that they were not fried….nor were they air-fried! There was an option to bake them in the oven, and I was so impressed with the results! These were so flavorful! The seasoning gave them the flavor that had us gnawing on the bones!

Flavorful Baked Chicken Fajitas Ready in 25 Minutes

March 3, 2025March 2, 2025 RefreshHer4 Comments

I’m reposting an old recipe that is great when you need a delicious meal in a hurry. We love Mexican foods, and this dish is full of the kind of flavors we enjoy, plus it is very fast to make and is also a great do-ahead dish! That alone makes it a perfect pick for a busy day!

Typically, fajita meats are grilled, which gives them great flavor, but for a meal that needs to be on the table quickly, it’s not always the best way to go. I found this recipe on Chef in Training‘s web site (this is a great site!). She found it on another site…and so on and so on! There’s nothing new under the sun, but we must give credit where credit is due! =)

Baked Chicken that Makes Its Own Gravy

February 5, 2024January 8, 2024 RefreshHer1 Comment

In the Old days women made amazing Sunday dinners that included yummy fixings like Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and white, cream gravy. But also in the old days, everyone had to wait until 2:00 to eat dinner! Most of us are starving when we get home from church, and if dinner isn’t on the table in thirty minutes, people at my house start snacking!

Lucky for me, years ago I found a recipe from Carnation Evaporated Milk that is called, Baked Chicken that Makes it own Gravy! No need to stand and fry chicken pieces after church – this dish is baked in the oven, topped with a Cream soup mixture and baked a little longer, yielding a lovely creamy gravy – perfect for those mashed potatoes that were cooked in the crock pot!
