Main Dishes
Cranberry Chicken
This is a super-easy and different way to use chicken. The dressing is tangy and the cranberry sauce sweet. Together these ingredients create what my husband called a flavor explosion. I think you will either love it or hate it, at least that is the …
Spicy Orange Drumsticks
My six-year-old is quite the connoisseur of drumsticks. Last year for his birthday party my mom made Zesty Chicken Wings, which he loved. When I came across Chiptole-Orange Chicken Legs in the May issue of Southern Living I knew it would be a keeper. My kids enjoy …

In addition to chopping, slicing, dicing and freezing sweet peppers this summer, I’ve been cooking them too. My 8-year-old absolutely loves stuffed sweet peppers and requests this dish every time he sees peppers in the house. It’s freezer friendly, economical and a family favorite at …
