The Best Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

by Mary Neumann · 7 Comments · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today’s tried and true recipe is from King Arthur Flour – Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies! These are the BEST chocolate chip oatmeal cookies I’ve ever made. They are soft and chewy with a crispy edge, loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips and nutty oats. Chocolate Chip Cookie perfection. Bonus, they can be made gluten-free too.

Please note – this is not a sponsored post, I have no affiliation with King Arthur Flour, I am just a fan.

This cookie recipe was King Arthur Flour’s 2015 recipe of the year. My sister sent me the recipe a few weeks ago, they have been her go-to chocolate chip cookies for the last year or so. Being married to a cookie monster, making the same chocolate chip cookies for decades, I was ready to try something new. Two glasses of milk and six cookies later, my husband said the recipe is a keeper! He still loves my Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies, but these were a tasty, welcome change.

I followed the recipe to a T, as directed. When it’s recipe of the year, no tweaks are needed.

Pour yourself a tall glass of cold milk and grab few cookies…enjoy!

PLEASE NOTE: When I share a tried & true recipe, I always credit the source and often will send you to the site for the directions.

It’s important to me to share the love and send you to the original source.

Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole

by Mary Neumann · 2 Comments · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today’s tried and true is a down-home comfort food recipe the whole family will love – Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole!

An awesome dump and bake casserole that’s a cinch to make. This recipe calls for just a few ingredients you simply mix in a baking dish then toss in the oven. A delicious, filling meal that’s ready in an hour – a casserole the whole family will love and have them coming back for more!

This wonderful recipe is from Pillsbury – Garlic Cheddar Chicken Bake. I decided for my post today to call it, Cheesy Chicken & Rice Casserole, it seemed more fitting. What I love about this recipe is that it’s super easy to adapt to your taste by adding your favorite seasonings. Pair this with your favorite green veggie and a salad, you have yourself a winning dinner.

What you need – chicken tenders or breasts, butter, long-grain white rice, chicken broth, plain crispy panko bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper and fresh Italian parsley (optional).

To make – mix everything in the baking dish except the butter and panko crumbs and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, which is added the last few minutes of baking.

If you are looking for a satisfying meal the whole family will enjoy, even the pickiest of eaters – give this recipe a try. My picky husband gave this one two big thumbs up and said it’s just as good as Mamaw’s Chicken and Rice Casserole, which is one of his all-time favorites.

Quick update – my daughter and her friend tried this (re-heated) after coming home from a movie tonight – they loved it, rave reviews from all!

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a sponsored post, I have no affiliation with Pillsbury, I’m just a fan.

Mini Doughnut Fried Cheerios

by Mary Neumann · 1 Comment · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today I am sharing a sweet new twist on an old school classic snack, Mini Doughnut Fried Cheerios (aka, Mini Doughnut Hot Buttered Cheerios)!

Mini Doughnut Fried Cheerios – Cheerios “fried” in butter with a hint of vanilla, then tossed in cinnamon and sugar – an addictive treat!

Note: This is not a sponsored post, I have no affiliation with Betty Crocker or General Mills – I am just a fan sharing a fun recipe.

Last year I shared an old school snack I grew up with, Fried Cheerios (aka, Classic Hot Buttered Cheerios), readers loved reminiscing and many found a great new recipe. Today I am sharing a sweet version found on Betty Crocker. Betty Crocker says this snack tastes like everyone’s favorite fair food – I agree!

This tasty treat takes just a few minutes to make and only calls for five ingredients – Cheerios, butter, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon.

This is another treat to add to movie night (instead of popcorn). These are a little messy, but oh so good. Be sure to have napkins on hand and be ready to refill bowls!

Mini Doughnut Fried Cheerios

Ingredients

4 cups Cheerios
1/4 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar, set aside.

Using a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat then add vanilla, stir well. Next, add cheerios, coating evenly in butter. Cook for 3 minutes, until cheerios are lightly toasted. Remove from heat and pour the sugar cinnamon mixture evenly over Cheerios, coating evenly. Allow to cool for a few minutes. Enjoy!

Tip

These can be served warm or at room temperature. I actually like them best at room temp.
