Seafood is something that I don’t cook that often. I like shrimp, crab, lobster and a variety of other seafood but I don’t get to cook them at home very often because my family is picky when it comes to seafood. I recently used one of the Cedar Planked Atlantic Salmon from Cedar Bay Grilling Company to create my Spicy Salmon and Veggies Nachos with that was a hit!

These are PERFECT for those that love a delicious and flavored salmon that is ready to be put in the oven or on the BBQ! this week I used one of the Applewood with Orange Ginger Cedar Planked Atlantic Salmons to make some salmon nachos that are DELICIOUS and absolutely full of FLAVOR! I made a whole sheet pan and they were a hit with NO leftovers….

When you get together with family, there’s always a lot of talking, laughing, and, of course, eating. And with there having been 2.18 million weddings in 2017, you’re bound to have a wedding, reunion, or some other family event this year. So to help ensure your bellies are as full as your hearts, here are two great recipes to consider for your next family gathering.

Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Sandwiches are always a great option for family events because they can easily be made and walked around with. And these buffalo chicken sliders are both delicious and easy to make because you can cook them right in a slow cooker. To make these yummy sliders, you’re going to need:

• • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 clove minced garlic

1 tsp chili powder

• 3/4 cup buffalo sauce
• 1 tbsp dried parsley
• Bacon bits (optional)
• Crumbled blue cheese or ranch
• Slider buns

 

Turn your slow cooker on and place the chicken in. Cover the chicken with the sauce and spices, make sure it’s completed covered. Cook the chicken on low for about six hours or on high for about four hours. Once the chicken is cooked through, shred it and keep warm. Feel free to toast the buns for added crunchiness and spread the shredded chicken on the bun and top with blue cheese, ranch, bacon bits or any other toppings. These sliders are sure to be a hit with the whole family!

Taco Dip

Tacos are always a hit at parties — and any other time as well. This is especially true seeing as how Taco Bell debuted a 1,080 foot pop-up store out of a shipping container in 2015. But if you’re not near a Mexican restaurant and want to bring some taco goodness to your party, why not make this tasty taco dip? Dips are always a good idea because they’re easy to both make and eat. So the ingredients you’ll need for this dip are:

• 16 oz sour cream
• 16 oz refried beans
• Taco seasoning mix package
• 2 chopped tomatoes
• 1 chopped onion
• 3/4 chopped black olives
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1/2 head lettuce
• 8 oz shredded cheese

Start by layering the beans on the bottom of a 9×13 pan or dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and taco seasoning — spread this on top of the beans. Then continue to layer the salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, onions, and cheese. Grab a big bag of your favorite tortilla chips and enjoy.

Both of these recipes are simple to make and yet oh so delicious. So keep these ideas in mind for your next family gathering!

Are you a fan of spaghetti and meatballs? I normally make this dish on the stove but did you know that you can bake it too? There are so many different meals that you can create with pasta. Keep on scrolling if you love spaghetti and want to try this Baked Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe…

This is just one of many ways that you can make spaghetti. You can either make your own tomato sauce or buy the pre-made version. Sometimes I like to buy two different flavors of the pre-made pasta sauce at the store and mix them together. You also don’t want to forget the bread.

There is also another recipe that I tried called Million Dollar Spaghetti that is good and can be baked in the oven. This is a more creamier version of spaghetti that uses cream cheese in the ingredients.
