Quick Flat Roast Chicken

Flat Roast Chicken is sometimes called spatchcock chicken which is simply butterflied chicken.  The backbone is removed, and the chicken is easily roasted in a small amount of time.    ROAST CHICKEN Cut the cooking time in half while still getting a crispy, moist chicken with my Flat Roast Chicken recipe. One of my favorite go-to meals that stretches our dollars and makes my meal planning a lot friendlier!  Roasting a whole chicken is very easy to prepare.  But for a speedy way to roast a whole chicken , I like to cut the backbone and lay the whole chicken flat.

BBQ Ranch Stuffed Eggs

This recipe comes from Melissa d'Arabian the winner of season five of "The Next Food Network Stars".  I immediately wanted to make these BBQ Ranch Stuffed Eggs as soon as I saw her making them on her new show Ten Dollar Dinners.  A quick, inexpensive appetizer, and a great twist on an already family favorite. My tip for the perfect boiled eggs 1.  Always put a single layer of eggs in a saucepan and do not crowd.  If eggs are cold from the refrigerator fill the pot with cold water.  If the eggs are from the counter or at room temperature fill the pot with room temperature water. 2.  Bring water to a boil and boil for 3 minutes.  3.  Remove pot from the burner.  Put a lid on the pot and let set undisturbed for 15 minutes.   4.  Pour water off of the eggs holding the lid to keep eggs from falling out. 5.  With the eggs still in the pot gently shake them against the sides of the pan and up and down to crack the shell around the hot eggs. 6.  Pu

Very Simplistic Bread Pudding {Granny's Recipe}

My Mother always cooked exceptionally great food with few ingredients, and her Very Simplistic Bread Pudding was no exception. Growing up, I never thought of this dessert as a no frills dessert, just a delicious comfort food.  While French Toast and Bread Pudding at our house was a way to use up stale bread.  There were times you would find my Mother laying sliced bread on a baking sheet to dry out, and you knew what was coming. I have tried Bread Pudding at many restaurants, and none seems to taste like my Mother except this one restaurant we eat fish.  My husband goes to eat their fish, and I go to eat their decadent Bread Pudding With Vanilla Sauce.  What do they say?   Opposites attract..... There is one rule with my Bread Pudding, no raisins.  Mother didn't put them in hers, and I don't put them in mine.  One of her secrets to a rich, creamy Bread Pudding, was when she took it out of the oven, she would pour melted butter all over the top, and w
