Just when I think I’m done with my annual Halloween post, I find another idea to try!

But I seriously need help coming up with a good name for these – they remind me of traffic cones stuck in mud. They’re essentially a variation of “dots” – round pretzels with melted Hershey Kisses and M&Ms. Just for fun, I decided to make them with candy corn. And since I couldn’t find the round pretzels, I opted for the waffle/grid shaped ones.

I’m at it again. Sharing yet another quick and easy chicken recipe. This time, for the grill!

This one was extra convenient because I was rushing at the new-to-me grocery store and could not find the marinade aisle (grrrr). As luck would have it, my always-hungry husband had just emailed me a new recipe to try (don’t know where he found this one).

So I tried it. It’s very easy , and very tasty!

First, the very few ingredients (which you probably already have on hand):

I remember the first dinner my now-husband ever cooked for me. Champagne Chicken. I was so impressed, and it never dawned on my that I probably wasn’t the first date he’d ever cooked this dish for. Water under the bridge…let’s just say it was effective and I married him.

Since I only share recipes here that are fail-safe, I thought this should make an appearance. Around our house, we refer to it as the wooing chicken recipe.

So whether you’re in the market for love, or would just love a delish easy dinner for the family, give it a try!

Hubby Loving the Turkey EnchiladasMy husband has caught on that I’m editing the “Entertaining Tips {for the rest of us}” series here on YHOB. So now he’s searching for recipes for me to try. Can’t blame him, really. He’s got skin in the game. ;)

As an avid fisherman and blogger at finfollower.com, he constantly trolls fishing sites – especially during the off-season. An unexpected catch he reeled in was this absolutely amazing Verde Turkey Enchilada recipe! He found it at the Chi Wulff blog (they refer to this recipe as “Not ‘Yo Mamma’s Creamy Green Turkey Enchiladas.” Love that!

Thai Chicken Satay: Great at Parties

A dear friend of mine from my Midwest era always threw great parties. They were a balance between casual and polished. Her winning strategy was to invite guests to bring a dish, and she then provided a few favorites of her own. Because she was able to keep costs and hassles down with this format, [...]

How DreamDinners Made Me a Hero on Vacation
