Roasted potatoes with bacon and parmesan

(originally made 9/2012)

We had leftover grilled chicken for dinner, so to change it up I wanted to add a new side dish.    So easy and so good, you could definitely do this in a disposable pan out on the grill as well.    Recipe is from Tasty Kitchen .   I added garlic salt, paprika, and a little rosemary.

Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats

Overnight oats have been my go-to breakfast this summer.  It's been great to just go out in the yard and add blueberries or blackberries from our bushes into the jar each day.  But fall is on the way, and what a great way to transition into it than with these Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats from Taste of Home?

I like to layer my jars, so I started with half of everything.  Oats first, salt, cinnamon next.  Then I topped that with 1/2 a teaspoon of chia seeds.  Next came the apple and raisins. Repeat once more.  Then I pour in the milk, which in my case  was almond milk.

While I was doing all this, I had some pecans toasting in a pan on the stove, the last little bit I had left from another recipe. Maybe 10 pecan halves.  Note to self: never turn your back while toasting nuts.  I went to give the pan a shake, and the bottoms were burnt.  Into the trash they went. You could also use shelled pumpkin or sunflower seeds if you want some crunch.

The next day, I enjoyed this out on the pa…

Sugar Cone Chocolate Chip Cookies

Image
I'm wrapping up BBQ Week with an festive and delicious dessert, Sugar Cone Chocolate Chip Cookies.  My guys love cookies in all forms, but ones with chocolate chips always go over especially well.  These are even more fun because they have little bits of ice cream cone and sprinkles! 
I tweaked the recipe a bit due to my family's taste and also due to a slight reading comprehension problem.  I switched out the milk chocolate chips for semi sweet.  I scanned the recipe quickly and used baking powder instead of baking soda, so then I covered my bases and ended up using both.  
I'm a big fan of using a scoop for nice uniformly shaped and well-baked cookies.  Using a 1 tablespoon scoop with some slightly overfill, I got 4 dozen cookies.  Mine baked in about 11 minutes because they were slightly larger. I left them on the sheets for about a minute or so more, then moved them to racks to cool completely.

Thank you again to Ellen and Christie for hosting #BBQWeek and to all of…

Honey Citrus Chicken Sandwiches

Image
So happy that the weather is finally starting to turn and I can start grilling more of our meals!  We eat chicken at least a couple of times a week and it can be a challenge to change it up so we don't get bored with it.  One of the best ways I've found to do that is with marinades. 
I saved this recipe for Honey Citrus Grilled Chicken Sandwiches a while back from Taste of Home.  I like that it uses ingredients I always keep on hand.  I will say, I'm not a big fan of bottled citrus juices, instead I buy fresh and juice them myself.  Then I pour the juice into ice cube trays and freeze them solid. It's great because I can just pop them out and thaw them as needed.
For marinades with citrus, you want to be cautious that you don't leave the chicken there for too long, it can start to change its texture.  I let these go about 4 hours.  I prepped all my toppings ahead because the chicken doesn't take long to grill at all.  To add cheese or to not add cheese is tot…
