Easy 1 dish dinner

So I found this recipe on Pinterest, but the person who pinned it did not link it to a blog or anything just a picture with the directions and I thought sounds super simple not to try. So this is what I made. It was good, but the second time I made it I used a bag of frozen broccoli and it was the BOMB!! So good. We definitely recommend the broccoli. This is a weekly staple almost in our house
Before putting it in the oven with green beans

4-6 raw chicken breasts, new potatoes, green beans (fresh or canned-really any green veggie would work. Broccoli is our fav). Arrange in 9x13 dish. Sprinkle with a packet of Italian dressing mix and then top with a melted stick of butter. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
Cooked and with broccoli


Seriously? Quick, Delish and One Dish

Honey Bun Cake

 If you love cinnamon and melt in your mouth cake, you will love this coffee cake.  This is made with a box of yellow cake mix and couldn't be any easier.  You could serve this cake as a coffee cake for breakfast, or as a dessert with a big scoop of ice cream.  Either way, you can't go wrong.  Yum!

1 package plain yellow cake mix
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup oil
4 eggs

1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon or pumpkin spice

2 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350.  Lightly spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, sour cream, oil and eggs on low speed of an electric mixer for 1 minute.  Increase speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more.  Pour into prepared pan.

Drizzle honey on top of batter, then sprinkle on the brown sugar and cinnamon or pumpkin spice.  With a knife, swirl topping to blend.

Bake 38-40 minutes.  Whisk together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.  Pour over warm cake.  Allow cake to cool at least 20 minutes before cutting.

Mock Cheddar Bay Biscuits from Red Lobster

See how yummy they look!!

I am still not 100% convinced they taste exactly the same, but they are a close second for sure and very yummy!!
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
2/3 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Mix all ingredients just until mixed (over mixing will cause tough biscuits)
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden brown
Topping:
1/2 stick butter melted
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Mix and brush on top of biscuits when they come out of the oven!

Best Ever Buckeye Brownies

Gooseberry Patch's Buckeye Brownies. A "must-have" recipe. This will be your favorite "go-to" for any potluck, family get-together or holiday party. I promise!! They were a HUGE hit at our Christmas party. Grab a glass of milk and enjoy!! Thanks to an office potluck at Gooseberry Patch this recipe is here for us all to drool over! Gooseberry Patch shared it on their Facebook page!  They kindly shared the recipe from their, Almost Homemade cookbook.


Buckeye Brownies

19-1/2 oz. pkg. brownie mix I used Duncan Hines Double Fudge
2 c. powdered sugar 
1/2 c. plus 6 Tablespoons butter, softened and divided 
8-oz. jar creamy peanut butter 
6-oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips 

Prepare and bake brownie mix in a greased 13"x9" baking pan according to package directions. Let cool. Mix powdered sugar, 1/2 cup butter and peanut butter. Mix well and spread over cooled brownies. The recipe said "Chill for one hour" but I didn't have an hour so I did about 25 mins and it was fine. Melt together chocolate chips and remaining butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Spread over brownies. Let cool about 15-20 mins, cut into squares. 

Makes 2+ dozen, since you cut them pretty small because of the richness.
ENJOY!!!
