Kickin Chicken Burgers
OMG!!!
These chicken burgers are amazing!!!
Hubby was craving a good steak today and I'm not much of a steak eater, so I decided to make chicken burgers.
I make chicken burgers pretty often, but never like this.
The recipe is super easy, but the flavor is amazing.
Do yourself a favor and try these burgers!
They can be made either on the grill or on the stove.
What you need:
1 Lb Ground Chicken
1 Pkg Dry onion soup mix
1/4 Cup of Frank's Kickin BBQ sauce (it's not that hot)
1 Piece of string cheese cut into 4-6 pieces, depending on how big you make your burgers.
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together 'til well mixed. (Minus string cheese)
Shape into patties, take a piece of string cheese, place it in the middle of each patty, fold the meat around the cheese and seal well.
Cook burgers on a nice hot grill or in a cast iron skillet on the stove 'til completely done.
That's it!
Simple as that!
I hope you've enjoyed this recipe.
If you try it at your house, let me know how it turns out!
I look forward to reading your comments!

Chicken 'n Dumplins Recipe
This is a simple recipe that can be made in the crock pot or on the stovetop.
What you need:
Fresh Chicken breast (amount depends on how many people you're feeding, use your own judgement)
1 Can Cream of chicken soup
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Celery salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 Pkg Pioneer southern style gravy mix
2 1/4 Cups Bisquick
1/2 Cup of Milk
Directions:
Boil the chicken in a large stock pot with the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and celery salt 'til it's almost done. (you can use chicken stock if you have it on hand, I didn't and it still turned out great)
Drain some of the water off, leaving a little more than half the volume in the pot. (you'll need room for the dumplin's)
Add the can of cream of chicken soup to the pot and stir well.
Add the pkg of gravy mix and stir well.
Bring to a boil.
In a separate bowl, Mix the Bisquick and milk 'til the dough comes together.
Using your fingers, pinch off small pieces of dough and drop it into the pot of boiling chicken. (the dough will double as it cooks, so don't use too much for each dumplin')
Turn the heat down to Med-Hi and let it simmer about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally so the dumplin's don't stick together.
That's it.
With this easy recipe, you can make chicken n dumplin's just like grandma used to make.
Enjoy!

Super Quick and Easy Meatloaf Muffins
I love meatloaf, who doesn't?!
It's easy to mix up, the kids love it and there's usually just enough leftovers to make a sandwich with the next day.
I love this recipe, because it is super easy to throw together when it's late and you're just not really feelin' like cooking, and since it's baked in a muffin tin, it cuts down on total cooking time dramastically.
(Yes, dramastically)
What you'll need:
1 pound ground meat (beef or chicken or even turkey will work)
1 Box of Stovetop stuffing (dry, straight out of the box, not prepared)
1 Envelope of dry onion soup mix
1/2 Cup of Ketchup + a little bit more (to top it before baking)
(Yes, it will hold together without an egg)
Directions:
Mix all ingredients 'til well combined.
Take a small handfull (about the size of a scoop of ice cream) of meatloaf mixture and roll into a ball, press firmly into a well greased muffin tin.
Continue this process 'til all the meat mixture is used.
(I yielded 9 regular sized "muffins" and 2 mini sized ones with 1 lb of meat)
Squirt a bit of ketchup on each "muffin" before you put them in the oven.
Bake for 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven. (Check for doneness in one when you pull them out and you might need to add a minute or two depending on your oven)
Using the muffin tin method serves several purposes,
One, it cuts down on the cooking time, which saves you time as well as money, since your stove is not on as long.
Two, it helps you with portion control. (Self explanatory)
Three, it's fun for the kids to eat bite sized food, for some reason, they just get a kick out of it.
Four, it's super portable and easy to eat when you're sitting in the hallway typing up a blog post while watching the kids play in the tub.
(Maybe that just applies to me, but you get the picture)
Try this recipe and let me know what you think!
I always look forward to reading your comments!

I will choose one winner a day for 5 days starting on Friday morning.
Good Luck!
*Truly factless figure. I just made this number up.
!!!RULES AND BORING STUFF!!!
Winner will have 24 (but proobably more, as I often forget when people don't respond on time) hours to claim their prize or I will pick another winning number.
In the event two people pick the same number, I will award the prize to the person who picked it first. Choose your number carefully!
This post was sponsored be ME. I took these Qpons out of my own personal stash... You're welcome. : )
Namaste Bitches (Not- Quite-So-Wordless Wednesday)
As I was going through some of Micah's old baby pics, I came across this.
He appears to be meditating (with his eyes open, because he's just THAT Zen) and I instantly thought of my friend Klonnie over at The Klonopin Chronicles.
We're not friends in the traditional sense, more like the "I read all your blog/Facebook posts and imagine myself hanging out at your house, having long talks about all of our problems and the true meaning of life and why we're all here, while drinking a tall glass of sweet tea" kinda friends... In other words, she doesn't even know I exist.
(Sad Face)
But I am sure if she did know of my existence and this picture, she would find this absolutely hilarious... probably.
