Honey Mustard Mozzarella Chicken

At first glance, this just looks like regular ol’ chicken with a tasty coating of melted mozzarella on top.  However, lying inconspicuously below the blanket of cheese, lies the key ingredient…BACON!  Yep you heard me.  I’d had honey mustard chicken before, and I’d had mozzarella chicken before…but until this lil creation, I’d never had chicken … Continue reading →

Panko Pork Chops with Creamy Gravy

Never in my life would I have believed that a pork chop, pan fried and covered in gravy, would be a weight watchers meal!  But here it is!  It’s almost too good to be true.  I personally didn’t calculate the points (it’s 7 per serving), but it almost makes me wonder if that is even … Continue reading →

This chicken has so much flavor it will blow your mind!  Get this…it’s grilled chicken (already delicious) topped with BBQ sauce, cheese, rotel tomatoes, green onions, and BACON!  Do I have your attention now?  I thought so. With our very first bite of this chicken, my husband and I knew it was immediately one of … Continue reading →

Grape Salad

This grape salad is one of my favorite side dishes.  Why?  Because it can also be considered a dessert.  And we all know that the very best side dishes are ones that are so sweet and delectable that they could pass for desserts. This cool, refreshing dish would be perfect for a summer picnic!  It … Continue reading →

Artichoke Bacon Ranch Lasagna

Today’s recipe is rather unique.  You might not consider it “normal” for a site like Normal Cooking, but hear me out.  One of the main reasons I created this blog is to help people find new recipes and get out of the “same old routine” in the kitchen.  This is definitely one of those recipes. … Continue reading →

Grilled Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops

Mmm grilled pork chops…one of my all time favorite meals.  Honestly, I think just a plain-jane hunk of pork on the grill is still delicious, even without marinades and glazes and what-not.  However, those marinades and glazes can add LOTS of flavor and really seal in the juices to make the meat even more tantalizing. … Continue reading →
