Instead of Smokey Chicken Enchilada Potato Skins from Three Olives Branch we had their Loaded Bourbon Bleu Cheese Potato Skins

 

Dreaming of Summer,  Zucchini & Pimiento Cheese Strata is perfect for any occasion

 

French Onion Soup Casserole from Laa Loosh turned into French Onion Soup Bread, an interesting twist on an old favorite which I will be posting soon

 

Hassleback Hawaiian Chicken,  original recipe is so easy, you can have dinner cooked and ready in under an hour

 

 

 

Sausage & Noodle Gratin, turned into a festive Mardi Gras Gratin

 

 

Cheesy Party Burgers from Kevin and Amanda   turned into Cheesy Bacon Party Burgers and were a big hit!

You can assemble them ahead of time then bake right before serving

    Ok, I’m going straight for the good stuff… I’ll have a slice of Easter Candy Pizza please:@) Happy March!

  2. Nice wrap up and a good reminder to print that chip recipe. I’m pretty sure I don’t need the recipe except it will remind me I want to make them when my brain gets overloaded!

  7. Sugared lemon donut cake, I can’t wait. I am back on Whole30 because I ate way too much on our little get away. Your delicious food makes me drool!

    Everything in your kitchen always looks delicious Jenna! If you whip up some Irish Bread & Butter Pudding, make sure you make extra Salted Caramel-Whiskey Sauce!

  9. Jacqueline says:

    Oh my goodness! Everything looks fantastic! How can I ever lose my vacation weight!??

    • Thanks Jackie, trust me, it’s all for the guys, but the Hassleback Chicken is pretty guilt free…I can’t wait to read your post about all the amazing places you’ve been this winter, I have been NOWHERE!

  10. Oh my, ok we are doing WW to get our weight back in check. We usually do this every spring. So…do you have WW recipes?
