Tried and True Recipes

I love trying new recipes! I mean lets face it dinner would get pretty boring and tedious if I were to use the same recipes over and over. I also love trying new variations on recipes I have yet to perfect in hopes of finding "the one". This post, however, is about the recipes that are perfect <3. They are recipes I will make over and over again because they are absolutely delicious and leave nothing left to be desired. Now this is not a complete list of all the amazing recipes I have tried but a short version of the recipes that have become staples in my kitchen.

Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style

The first time I tried this recipe my fiancé exclaimed "this is the best chicken I've had!" and I agree. This is my go to recipe for a whole chicken roasted in the oven. It is flavourful and so tender and moist. The grocery store chickens can't compare.

California Chicken and Vegetables

Now this recipe has become a staple for a couple reasons. The first reason... It's delicious! This recipe is also super simple, quick and versatile. I change the vegetables in the recipe to whatever fresh vegetables I have in my fridge and it always turns out perfect!

Peanut Butter Bars

Mmmmmm what a perfect combination chocolate and peanut butter is that it's no wonder it is so popular. These bars never last long in my fridge. They become a breakfast snack, a lunch snack, a supper snack and a midnight snack. Knowing neither of us can resist every time we open the fridge, I only  make them when I know company will help us eat some.

Fried Chicken with Creamy Gravy

I tried this recipe for the first time almost 10 years ago (wow I can't believe it's been that long). Even with my lack of cooking experience then, this recipe turned out great. In the past few years I have tried many different fried chicken recipes but I always come back to this one.

Sunday Dinner on the Grill

The smell of this dinner cooking on the grill is beyond words! I swear my neighbours must've been drooling as well. This is my go to recipe when I really want to impress my guests. It is without a doubt the best pot roast I've had.

Frosting That Will Get You Hugs

This is the frosting recipe I've spent years trying to find. Traditional buttercream is too sweet for me so I was always on the lookout for a frosting that is lighter tasting but still has that wonderful creamy texture. After reading the recipe, I was a bit hesitant but upon tasting it for the first time I was in love.
