Yummy Burger Night

My hubbie got this recipe emailed to him from a co-worker, so we decided to try it out. I know from the photo it's hard to tell, but it was bomb!!! Since I can't eat wheat, I don't have a bun & also those are sweet potato fries! My hubbie had them with English muffins (he likes better than regular buns) and tator tots. The brown rice creates an awesome texture to the burgers, and also the apple sauce creates a warm sweat taste! VERY YUMMY! Totally good for you as well, and I didn't have to cut anything out of the recipe! A keeper for a recipe!

This unusual, but extremely tasty recipe will keep them coming back for more!

Chicken in a bag recipe! DELICIOUS!!!!

I feel inclined to share with people yummy recipes when I make them or find them, since with my GF allergy and so many other allergies, it's often hard to find a receipe which I can make in its entrity and not have to change or cut something out. Last night I made the below receipe. I didnt have time to take a photo because my hubbie & i devored the dinner! We made it with corn & brown rice with some onions, chicken broth and butter. It was DELICIOUS!!!!! The recipe comes from McCormick receipe website, and it was so delcious and easy to make. Throw everything ina bag and BAM cook. The brown rice was the same way, throw everything together & let it sit for 45 mins, same time as the chicken. My husband's comment was "This is the best chicken I have had in years!".
