Before we get into the Holiday season of cooking and baking overload, I wanted to give you my everyday snack that I eat! You can throw this together in under 3 minutes, including taking out the ingredients and putting them back. I feel like I need to give you this idea now, because if you’re like me, you do a lot of cooking and baking but don’t actually get to eat what you’re cooking until the next day or days when guests arrive or you bring it to the family get together. Leaving you hungry and tired and in need of a pick me up before you can get a meal! So this right here is my snack that keeps me satisfied during those long days in between meals and not grabbing for candy and chips. But honestly I eat it all year round because it’s my favorite. It’s a perfect throw in your purse, on the go or work at your computer snack too!

This isn’t really a recipe but an idea of what you can throw together because everything is measured with the heart!! I started making & eating this mix, oh I don’t know, about 4 or 5 years ago and it’s been a part of my everyday routine since. I always keep these nuts, dried fruits, and popcorn stocked in my pantry so I can make it whenever I want. The nuts seem to keep me full longer, the fruit and popcorn just add the perfect texture and are a great combination with the salty / sweet balance, then the chocolate chips….well I have a big sweet tooth and it curbs that too! Feel free to add all the ingredients I’ve listed or skip / sub out ones that you don’t like.

INGREDIENTS 
6 cups romaine lettuce chopped (about 3 small heads)
1 small red onion, diced
2 cups frozen peas, defrosted
1 red bell pepper, chopped
7 hard boiled eggs, sliced
1 lb thick cut bacon, cooked and chopped
1 1/2 cups cheddar or colby jack cheese, freshly shredded

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS 
Add chopped romaine lettuce to the bottom of a trifle bowl or large glass bowl.

Layer red onion, red bell pepper, and peas around the edges so they are visible from the outside.

Press sliced eggs against the glass for a layered look. Chop the remaining eggs and add them to the center to fill it in evenly.

In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Spoon the dressing into the center, then gently spread it outward to seal the top.

Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the dressing, then top with chopped bacon.

Okay I know Easter is basically over… but you need Okay I know Easter is basically over… but you need to save this for next year 🐰✝️ Or honestly, just make it all spring long 🌸

My dad (who doesn’t bake at all) made this cake when I was little, and it’s one of my fav core Easter memories 🤍 It’s so cute, fun to get kids involved with, and instantly makes everything feel a little more fun and special!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Bake your favorite cake in two 8-inch round pans. Let them cool completely, then wrap and freeze for easier cutting.

Keep one cake whole for the face. Cut the second cake to create the ears and bow tie, then arrange everything on a platter.

Frost with white icing and cover with shredded coconut (leave a little space in the ears for pink frosting). 

Decorate with gumdrops, jelly beans, fruit punch straws, or whatever candy you have on hand!

SAVE this for spring or next Easter 🐰

INGREDIENTS:

Chicken Marinade
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, sliced into tenders
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Seasoned Flour Coating
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper

Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cracked black pepper
Salt, to taste

Oil for frying
For Serving: French fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw

Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the chicken and all marinade ingredients. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

In another bowl, whisk together all seasoned flour coating ingredients. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour coating, pressing firmly to coat. Lift and gently shake off excess flour, then place on a wire rack set over a sheet pan.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then dredge again in the seasoned flour coating. Return to the rack and let sit for another 15 minutes. This helps create that extra crispy texture.

In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to use.

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan to 350°F. Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked.

Serve with sauce, French fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw.
