#ad Sunday Night Easy Dinner with Tyson Chicken Nuggets #LoveUrNuggets #cbias #shop

As much as we try to keep things to a minimum, Sunday is still a pretty busy day for our family. By the time dinnertime comes around, I'm always ready to just break out the pb&j and call it good. Tyson came to my rescue tonight with two varieties of gourmet chicken nuggets: Cheesy Chicken Nuggets and Spicy Chicken Nuggets.

One of the reasons I have difficulty spending a lot of time on Sunday night dinner is because we all tend to nap late. Once church is done and we have lunch, we're ready for a long rest. Liam (3) and Kynthia (2) woke up from their naps just in time to help me get our special dinner in the oven this afternoon.

Our family buys Tyson nuggets often, but we'd not yet tried these two new flavors. Yesterday, during my weekly grocery shopping trip to Walmart, I bought two bags of Cheesy and one of Spicy. We have more little than older people in the house and I thought the youngers would prefer the Cheesy ones.

As I was opening the bags to prepare them for the oven, Elisha (10) noticed the coupon for Chuck E. Cheese's tokens on back of the Cheesy nuggets package. He's now planning his June 2nd birthday---at Chuck E. Cheese's, of course!

We paired our nuggets up with some fries and tater tots so there would be something for everyone. I also made a BBQ dipping sauce--my husband's favorite. The kids thought it was pretty awesome when I brought out this big tray of yumminess!

Like I said, Jamie loves BBQ sauce. He will put it on just about anything. I mixed up some homemade sauce and, at first, everyone thought it was too sweet. So, I made some modifications and now it's much better!

Tangy BBQ Dipping Sauce


Just mix the following ingredients until sugar is dissolved and store in the refrigerator.

1 1/4 c. ketchup
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. red wine vinegar
1 TB. Worcestershire sauce
2 1/2 tsp. ground mustard
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. pepper
3/4 tsp. salt

Everyone wanted to try each flavor of nuggets with both ketchup and the homemade BBQ sauce. They all agreed that both dipping sauces complemented the flavors of the nuggets.

The Spicy ones were the favorite, hands down. Even the little ones liked them at first---but after a couple, they decided to switch back to Cheesy. Overall, our Sunday Night Easy Dinner was a hit!

Chicken, Bacon, Mushroom & Snap Pea Skillet for the Homemaking Party

Welcome to the Homemaking Party! I've been experimenting with some gluten free recipes this week and this one is definitely a favorite. Let me know if you try it out!

Chicken, Bacon, Mushroom & Snap Pea Skillet (serves about 8)

5 chicken breasts, cubed
5 TB. cornstarch 
1 lb. bacon, cut into small pieces
2 TB. olive oil
1 1/2 c. chicken stock
2 TB. soy sauce 
3 c. snap peas
3 c. fresh, sliced mushrooms
salt, if desired

Mix cubed chicken and 2 TB. cornstarch together in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, combine chicken stock, soy sauce, and remaining cornstarch, then set aside. Heat 1 TB. oil in a skillet on high heat. Cook bacon pieces for a couple of minutes and then stir in chicken. Cook until chicken is heated through. Remove to a clean bowl and set aside. Add remaining TB. oil to the skillet and stir fry the peas and mushrooms for a few minutes. Add in chicken and bacon, as well as the liquid mixture, stirring well first to recombine the cornstarch and stock. Boil and cook for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened.

Millionaire Shortbread Bars

When I was in England last month, these shortbread treats were everywhere! Read on to see how easy it is to whip them up!

Welcome to this week's Make Bake Create Party! 5 hosts...5 blogs---SWEET! Meet your hosts:

Imagine how many places in the US you can pick up a Snickers or Reese's PB Cups so easily---that's how prevalent these were in England. These and carrot cake--but that's another post.

I came home and immediately began searching for them online. What were these delightful goodies called? I asked a couple English friends on Facebook and it sounds like they're most well-known as Millionaire Bars. The toffee chips on top are my own little addition. Enjoy!

Millionaire Shortbread Bars

Bottom Layer

1 ½ cup flour

¼ c. powdered sugar

¼ tsp. salt

3/4 c. butter, softened

Carmel Layer

½ c. butter

½ c. sugar

½ c. corn syrup

7 oz. sweetened condensed milk

½ tsp. vanilla extract

Top Layer

12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

crushed toffee bits (optional)

Butter a 13x9 pan and set aside. Mix bottom layer ingredients until they form a ball. You may need to add a drop of water to get it to form---but I do mean a drop! Press mixture evenly into bottom of the pan. Bake at 325° for 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool.

While shortbread is cooling, melt butter in a pot on the stove. Then stir in sugar and corn syrup. Once it's combined, boil for 4 minutes without stirring. Then, remove from heat, add sweetened condensed milk, and return to heat. Boil, stirring constantly, until it reaches 234° on a candy thermometer (about 5 minutes on medium heat). Remove from heat, carefully stir in vanilla (it will steam at you!), and pour on top of shortbread. Cool completely.

When carmel layer is completely cool and set (about 3 hours), melt chocolate and pour on top. Immediately sprinkle on the toffee bits, chopped nuts, or whatever suits you. Let cool and enjoy!

I think this Treasure Map from The Grant Life is just the most awesome thing ever. If someone gifted me with a roller blind, this is exactly what I would do with it! Thanks for sharing, Kelley!
