Simple Poached Chicken + Garlic Broth
Poached chicken often gets a bad rap. A lot of people think it's bland and flavorless. But it doesn't have to be that way. I think poached chicken can be a kitchen lifesaver. You may have heard me say before that I always have cooked chicken in my fridge. There are so many quick and delicious meals you can make in just a few minutes if you already have cooked chicken. I often will roast chickens and pick the meat off, but if I haven't gotten around to doing that and I want some cooked chicken to use for a recipe (or just to eat!), then poaching is my next best go-to.

Corn Dog Muffins
I think this may officially go down as the very best kid food item I have ever made. I have always loved corn dogs, and my kids love them too. I love the idea of making them at home, but I don't have a deep fryer, and I have no intention of getting one. So when I came across this idea of making corn dog muffins I just knew we had to have it. It's super easy - basically just good homemade cornbread with a piece of hot dog. Cooking in the oven as muffins means no mess from frying, and I loved that I could make different size options using different size muffin pans and cutting the hot dogs.
5 minute whole wheat drop biscuits
With simple ingredients and the use of a handy kitchen appliance, you can have fresh biscuits out of your oven in a half hour from start to finish - and in the oven in just 5 minutes from when you start. These are my current go-to when I am making a big pot of soup or stew and we want a little something to go with it. They are absolutely perfect for soaking up gravy and broth, and they are amazing just piping hot with a little butter. They are also perfect for my couple of picky kids, because even if they don't eat the soup or stew that I'm serving for dinner, they are at least getting something made with whole grain and the protein of yogurt, milk, and egg.
Homemade Ranch Dip & Dressing
Ranch dip and ranch dressing have become classic flavors that a lot of us could not picture life without But do you really need to buy it in a bottle? I don't think so. It's so easy to make from just ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry & fridge, there's really no need to ever buy it again!
This is a light and tangy sour cream & yogurt based Ranch Dressing recipe. A lot of ranch recipes call for mayonnaise. Now don't get me wrong - I LOVE mayo. But not in ranch. I want my ranch dip to be light and tangy. And by light I don't mean low fat - you'll notice that I'm using full fat sour cream, yogurt, and milk - but I mean not oily, not heavy, not that richer flavor that comes with mayo. I just prefer it this way. But honestly you could take this basic blend of seasonings and add it to whatever combination of cream/yogurt/mayo/milk/etc. that you like. It will taste great.
