Rudy’s Copycat BBQ Sauce Recipe This Rudy’s Copycat BBQ Sauce is thanks to my friend Katie at Chaos in the Kitchen – so good!   My husband and I never could agree on a BBQ sauce, until Rudy’s BBQ in Texas.  Sadly, we don’t live close to one, so we had to make our own, and this one is so close to the original!  ...

Jack in the Box Taco Recipe! This Jack in the Box Taco Recipe will be your go to taco recipe.  So good!  Weight Watchers friendly too! This recipe first published in 2013 and has now finally been updated 10 years later! My late husband loved Jack in the Box tacos, but sadly they closed all of their Illinois locations long ago. These tacos ARE THE...

No Fail Potato Gratin If you have trouble making potato gratin, this is a no fail potato gratin recipe.  You can’t mess this one up and is great for someone who isn’t seasoned in the kitchen.  I wrote this recipe in 2012, but because I used so many different recipe cards over the years, the recipe was completely missing.  But that’s when recipe testing comes...

Not sure if it was missing my Dad over the 13th anniversary of his death over the weekend, or the dip in temperatures, but I had the urge to make my Dad’s Chicken Brunswick Stew. My parents are both from Virginia, and there was a canned version of brunswick stew that my Dad loved – it came in a yellow can, and once they moved...

Crab Rangoon Breakfast Wontons These crab rangoon breakfast wontons have been sitting on this blog since 2011 and not many of you have seen it!  One of many Weight Watchers recipes you’ve not seen!

  Best Chicken Tacos   One Weight Watchers point per serving chicken taco filling?  Yes please!  This blog post is being updated since I first posted this recipe in 2011 – nearly 13 years ago!  At only 1 Weight Watchers point per serving, you can splurge on a bit of cheese. 🥰 But these were the best chicken tacos I’ve ever had.  And in true...

Chicken Tikka Masala UPDATE FEBRUARY 2025: Updating this post nearly 15 years later feels like a full-circle moment in my Weight Watchers journey. When I first shared this recipe, chicken breast had to be counted for points—then, in a glorious turn of events, it became zero points. Whoop! But with the plan update in December 2024, boneless, skinless chicken thighs are now included, and let...

Best Buffalo Chicken Chili Recipe This is the best buffalo chicken chili recipe you’ll ever need.  And Weight Watchers friendly too! The fall after I originally posted this recipe, I started getting emails from people who said they made this chili and it won their office chili cook-off, block party cook-off – as the months and years went by, I was thrilled that this recipe...

UPDATE!  Wow, this recipe is from 2009 and you get the benefit of enjoying my old food photography – you’re welcome!  The ingredient list and new photo are new as of today – Augusts 29, 2023 😂. I’ve also added a printable recipe card.👌🏻     We all agreed because they weren’t so sweet, they didn’t taste like sloppy joes at all – but we...
