What are you making this week?
Easy BBQ Chicken
This recipe is simple. So simple I kinda feel like I cheated somehow. I don’t know; maybe someone has already come up with this recipe before. I honestly didn’t look. I had some thawed chicken thighs that I knew I needed to use ASAP. I was going to use them Friday night for date night. I was going to make this awesome Rachael Ray recipe entitled Panchetta Wrapped Chicken. It was going to be amazing!
But Friday I went on a field trip to Stone Mountain with 50 sixth graders in the cold misty rain. I was so tired. I called my husband. I will make this dinner and it will be amazing, but I kinda just want to get Mexican and drink a big margarita. So we did. I had shrimp and steak fajitas and a nice tall margarita.
Tonight I saw them in the barren fridge. I had some other random foods and lots of condiments. Then I spied the BBQ sauce behind the taco sauce. BBQ poached chicken. I just poured the bottle of BBQ sauce and let the chicken cook in it on low for 1 1/2 hours. Then I took tongs and pulled out the chicken and put it in another pan. I easily shredded the chicken with the tongs. I added back in a little of the BBQ SAUCE. It was that easy! Tomorrow we will have some BBQ chicken sandwiches. 
Girls’ Night! Pizza!!!!!
Tonight was a girls’ night with my little ladies. What do you want for dinner? No one could answer me. E asked me what I wanted. Pizza was my answer. Everyone was on board, so this happened…
Cheesy Bread
1/2 veggie with feta (for me) 1/2 plain cheese (for the girls)
Candy Cookie Bars
Do you have any leftover Halloween candy? Then this is for you!!!!
CANDY COOKIE BARS
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons salt
Candy of your choice…I used about 1 1/2 cups
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350
Melt your butter and whisk it together with your sugar and light brown sugar until smooth.. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined. I used my Kitched Aid Stand Mixer, but a hand held mixer would work just as well.
Next, stir in your flour and salt just until mixed in. Don’t overmix. Stir in your candy.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top
Lastly, add some more candy on top. I added Kit-Kat, M&M’s, and Reece’s Cups.
Cook for about 30 minutes. Check with a knife or toothpick to make sure it comes out clean.
Cool completely, cut, and serve.
