Main Dish
As I previously mentioned I have started with Taste of Home Magazine and part of what I do is to try some of their recipes and rate them. This is one of those recipes! I picked this recipe because you don’t always see orange and Gorgonzola together so I wanted to give it a try! Overall, we really liked the recipe and it is something a little different. I made two super simple changes to the recipe, one was just adding more orange marmalade as I wanted a little more “sauce” as I served this over white rice The second change was using Panko Japanese crumbs, just because I like the bit of crunch it gives! Overall I thought it was very good and I would make it again! If you like orange you are really going to enjoy this recipe!
INGREDIENTS
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon of salt
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs (or Panko)
1 pound chicken tenders
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup orange marmalade preserves (or more), warmed
1/4 cup Gorganzola cheese, crumbled
Rice…cooked according to package directions (I served white rice)
DIRECTIONS
In a shallow bowl beat egg and add salt. Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken into the egg then into the bread crumbs one chicken piece at a time until you have them all coated. In a large skillet heat oil to medium heat, add chicken pieces, cook chicken 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked all the way through. Warm your marmalade in a microwave safe bowl and stir. Drizzle the marmalade over the chicken and top with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Remove from heat and cover the skillet to let the cheese melt, just a bit. Serve warm over rice.
Enjoy,
This slow cooker roast has been all over Pinterest for a while now so I think I am definitely behind on making this. For those of you that have not seen it or tried it, I highly suggest you give it a try! Although this was good the first night, I actually enjoyed it better the second day!! I added the vegetables into the slow cooker in the last two hours of cooking. There are a number of recipes that serve this with mashed potatoes or roasted veggies on the side! Totally your choice!
INGREDIENTS
1 – 3 pound chuck roast
1 – 1 ounce package of DRY ranch seasoning mix
1 – 1 ounce package of DRY au jus gravy mix
1 stick of unsalted butter
5-6 jarred pepperoncini
OPTIONAL
Baby carrots
1 onion, sliced
Small baby potatoes, sliced in half
DIRECTIONS
Add the roast into the insert of your slow cooker and sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning over the roast and do the same with the au jus mix. Place the stick of butter on top of the roast, and last but not least, add the pepperoncini to the crock pot. Cook on low for 6 hours. At the six hour time, add the vegetables and continue cooking for two more hours, making the total cook time 8 hours. Shred the meat and serve warm.
Enjoy!
The sauce on this chicken is so good! Lick your fingers, lick the plate good! I made the sauce the day before I was going to grill the chicken, I let the sauce cool and marinated the chicken overnight and it was worth every bit of prep time! You could use boneless skinless chicken breasts but I highly recommend the thighs as they were incredibly tender and juicy. I will be making this often throughout the summer!
INGREDIENTS
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2/3 cup ketchup
4 Tablespoons honey
4 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 limes zested and juiced
2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
4 Tablespoons brown sugar
Skewers for grilling (soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)
DIRECTIONS
Place all of the ingredients except chicken into a small saucepan. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for two to three minutes while stirring. Remove from heat and let completely cool. Cut your chicken into bite size pieces and place in a Ziploc bag. Once the sauce has completely cooled add HALF of the sauce to the bag with the chicken and reserve the rest of the sauce for basting while grilling the chicken. Let marinate for a couple hours or overnight.
When you are ready to cook preheat your grill to a medium heat. Skewer your chicken pieces and place on the grill cooking and basting with the reserved sauce until chicken is completely cooked through.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!

I was a little concerned that this burger was going to be overpowering with the buffalo sauce, but I was pleasantly surprised as that was not the case. The chicken was so full of flavor and so moist! I was also a little worried when I was forming the patties that the mixture was too loose. I made the patties in the morning, put them in the fridge and cooked them in the afternoon. You cannot taste the grated zucchini at all! No joke… cannot taste it !! Don’t leave the frito’s out, you really need the texture and crunch on this burger! This burger gets a huge thumbs up from us! Healthy or healthier and full of flavor, juicy and oh so tasty! It’s a keeper!!
INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 cup grated zucchini
1 shallot, grated
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup buffalo hot sauce
Salt
Pepper
4 hamburger buns (toasted or not)
1 cup of corn chips
For the slaw
1 package already grated and mixed slaw mix (I used a little less than half the bag)
2 Tablespoons buttermilk
1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon buffalo hot sauce
2 Tablespoons blue cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat grill to medium heat. Place the mixed slaw in a large bowl. Then mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Pour over the slaw mix and mix well coating all of the cabbage mixture.
To make the burgers add ground chicken, grated zucchini , shallot, panko, egg, hot sauce, salt and pepper into a large bowl and mix well. Form into four patties and grill over medium heat for five minutes per side. When the patties are almost done, top with a little bit of blue cheese and let melt. You can cover the burgers with foil to help the cheese melt. Takes about one minute.
To assemble the burgers place a chicken patty on top of a+ bun. Top with slaw and a handful of corn chips. Spread some mayonnaise on the top bun and place on top of the burgers.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!

This burger is a take on a hamburger I saw chef Michael Simon make and it is totally different from any burger that I have made before! This also came with mixed reviews from Robby and Jim! Jim felt it should have had less spicy sausage in them, but Robby on the other hand really enjoyed this burger and had his eaten in two minutes flat. I have to say I am siding with Robby on this one. I enjoyed it as it was but if you really wants to take this over the top you could certainly add some thick cut cooked bacon to the top…..just sayin! I also used about two cloves of Sean’s smoked garlic, but you can use any garlic you have or leave it out…but it really is tasty with the garlic!
INGREDIENTS
1 pound Jimmy Dean hot sausage
1 pound ground beef
2 cloves smoked or roasted garlic
Salt
Pepper
4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
Jarred mild banana peppers
4 hamburger buns (toasted or not)
Preheat your grill to medium heat. In a large bowl mix the hot sausage, hamburger, garlic, salt and pepper. Once the mixture is well combined, form the meat mixture into four patties. Add the patties to your heated grill and grill. When the burgers are almost done add one slice of cheese to each burger and continue cooking until cheese is melted and the burger is cooked through. Remove from grill. Place patty on top of the bottom side of a hamburger bun and top with mild banana peppers and mayonnaise if desired. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
