BBQ Chicken Pizza. Yum! Doesn't it look good?! I pulled this one out of the oven and cut it, but someone snatched a piece right out of the middle before I could even take a picture! Hopefully you can still tell how good it looks. This recipe is from my friend Dana. Dana made up this pizza and it is delicious! It is also super easy. Try it...I know you will love it!
First put 3 cups warm/ hot water into a bowl.
Add 1 Tablespoon of white sugar, 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1 Tablespoon of salt. Mix it together until they all dissolve in the water.
Sprinkle 1 packet of active dry yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp) on top. Let it sit for a minute or two, then start adding the flour.
Add the flour 1 cup at a time while stirring the mixture (with a big spoon) until you have 7 cups of good white flour.
Around the 6th or 7th cups toss out the spoon and knead the dough with your hands. Knead it for a minute or two and then put it in a greased bowl. Spray the dough with non-stick spray and cover it with saran wrap. Allow to raise in a warm place for 30 minutes to an hour. I usually let mine sit for an hour but Dana's recipe says 30 minutes. When the dough doubles in size you know it's ready to be made into a pizza. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
While waiting for the dough to rise it's time to cook the chicken! Dana uses chicken with bone in it for this pizza but I used boneless, skinless chicken and it tasted great! Put 3-4 thawed chicken breasts on a baking sheet. (I used too much when I made it here)
Pour olive oil and salt and pepper over the top of the chicken. Then put into the oven for about 20 minutes on 350 degrees. I usually just cut into a piece of the chicken to make sure it is good. Once the chicken has cooled shred it and set it aside until you are ready to put it on your pizza.
Slice one bundle of green onions. Cook about 12 slices of bacon until they are crisp. (Sorry there is no picture of the bacon!)
Cut the dough in half (this dough recipe makes two pizza's) and spread each half onto a greased pizza stone or onto a greased cookie sheet (like the one the chicken is pictured on above). I usually just spread it until it is covering whatever I am using to cook it on. It can take time so be patient while flattening the dough out! It will be worth it!
Spread BBQ sauce onto the dough. I use Sweet Baby Ray's Original BBQ Sauce and it is delicious!
Add the shredded chicken...
Add grated mozzarella cheese...I think I used about 3 cups for each pizza but it could have been more. Just use as much as you like!
Add the cooked, crispy bacon...I have used turkey bacon and it also tastes great on this pizza!
Now add the sliced green onions. Doesn't it look good? I think it looks delicious! Put pizza in the oven and cook for about 20- 25 minutes on 400 degrees.
And here it is! It really is SO good. Enjoy!

I found this recipe the other day on the make-it-do website and made it. They were delicious! I love snacks with cold cereal in it and this one is good! It is easy and quick. I made it for my cousins the other day and they loved it! To find this recipe and step by step directions on how to make it, visit the make-it-do website here.
Here is a close up in case you want to see how good these look! Enjoy!
This caramel corn is AMAZING! I seriously LOVE it! My mom made it all growing up and it is a family favorite! She got this recipe from her cousin Kath. It is easy to make and it is the perfect time of year to make it.
Here are the ingredients: 2 cups of brown sugar, 1 can Eagle Brand milk, 1 cup butter,1 cup of Karo syrup, and 1 1/2 cups of popcorn kernels.
Pop 1 1/2 cups of popcorn kernels in a popcorn popper. Once popped it should fill 2 big bowls. Try to pick out the kernels that don't pop as you go. Set the popcorn aside while you make the caramel. Yum!
Melt the butter, brown sugar, and karo syrup in a saucepan.
Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil. Boil until the temperature reaches 240 degrees F or a softball stage.
It should look something like this... Once it is hot enough, remove from heat.
Add the Eagle Bran Milk and stir to combine.
Pour evenly over all the popcorn. Sometimes I split the popcorn into 3 bowls to make it easier to mix up. You can make these into popcorn balls or just eat it straight out of the bowl. Either way, it is delicious!
Here is a close up. I promise it is even better than it looks! Enjoy!
I never know if I should call this a salad or a dessert. It tastes like a dessert to me but I have heard to it referred to as a salad....because there's Jello in it? I am not sure. Either way, it is delicious! Some of my friends have been asking me to post this for a while now and I am finally getting around to it. It is fairly easy and very delicious! Just make sure you have some time when you make it because it has to set in the fridge for a couple of hours! I hope you love this as much as I do! Enjoy!
Here are the ingredients: frozen raspberries (yum!), pretzels, sugar, butter, cool whip, cream cheese, and raspberry jello.
For the first layer you need to crush up pretzels until you have 1 1/2 cups of crushed pretzels. I like to crush them in a handy thing like this but I have also just crushed them by sticking them in a zip-loc bag and hammering them.
Next you melt a cube of butter. Add 1/2 cup white sugar and the crushed pretzels to the melted butter and mix it around with a fork.
Dump it into a greased 9x13 pan and spread it around until the pretzel mixture is evenly spread. Bake it at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes.
When it comes out it should look something like this! Not too different from the last picture but the sugar, butter, and pretzels are sticking together better now. Let it cool before adding the next layer to it.
Now we can move onto the 2nd layer. For this layer you need to soften 8 oz of cream cheese. Then mix it together with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1- 8 oz container of cool whip. I usually mix it with a mixer.
It should look something like this after you mix it up!
Spread it onto the pretzel mixture once the pretzel mixture has cooled. Refrigerate it until it is cool. I usually just stick it in the fridge for 10-20 minutes. It depends on how much time you have while making the dessert/salad.
It's time for layer #3. For this layer you dissolve 6 oz of Raspberry Jello into 2 cups of boiling water. Remove from heat and immediately add 1 bag or 2 boxes of frozen raspberries. Stir it around until the raspberries are not sticking together anymore.
Then pour the raspberry mixture on top of everything else. Refrigerate for around 2 hours or until the Jello is firm.
Then you serve it! You will love it and will want to eat more than one piece for sure! I can't get enough of it whenever I make it! I hope you love it too!
Okay, so I LOVE Rice Krispie Treats. And when I heard this dessert had Rice Krispies, AND ice cream, AND strawberries....I was instantly interested. Did it disappoint me in the least?? Definitely not. I liked it more, the more I ate it...which could potentially be a bad thing...
Okay so I found a recipe for these muffins the other day and made them. They were delicious! The name of them was what really piqued my interest but they really are delicious! They are also easy. This was actually my first attempt at making homemade muffins and they were much better than any muffins I have ever had from a box. I got them from the Tasty Kitchen Website. For the recipe click here. Enjoy!
Okay so this is a super easy and delicious salad that I love! I made it the other day and this salad was a hit with everyone that tried it. It is not exactly on the healthy side...but it does have apples, so it is not totally unhealthy either! Here are the 3 simple ingredients: Apples (any kind), Snickers Candy Bars, and Cool Whip.
Put them into a bowl...
Add the chopped up snickers bits and the 8 oz container of cool whip to the apples and stir together.
It should look something like this when done! And it will be delicious! This salad is best when eaten soon after making. Enjoy!
