Spicy Maple Chicken Strips

Football used to be a family affair at our house. Unfortunately, my husband now works weekends.   My son is more into video games than football games.   I have found that I can lure him back in to sit with me for a bit if I make fun food.

I had marked this recipe to try, but I'm not a huge fan of bone in wings, and I don't fry very often.   What drew me to it was the sauce- spicy and maple? I'm in.   I started with breaded boneless chicken strips that I baked according to the package directions.    For the sauce, I split the recipe in half and put it into 2 saucepans. While I love spicy, my son doesn't.   For his, I added just a few drops of the sriracha, for mine, the whole amount.    I tossed my portion liberally in the sauce, he preferred a small cup so he could dip.

It was an overcast day, and lighting in my kitchen is a challenge. I took a quick snap or two and called it good.   Not only was it delicious, Jake hung out with me for the entire quarter.    Success!    Thank you so much to Dona H for sharing the recipe :)

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try. They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing. I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach. I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture. When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so. Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple. Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper. Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears). Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy. The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese. I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size. I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version. The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with. First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese. For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with. Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker. For the pepperoni pi
