Put on a cozy sweater and make a batch of decadent slow cooker hot chocolate. Then top it with something pretty and maybe even stir in a little adult libation to amp up that warmth even more.

We've been seriously bonding with our air fryers. We've been seriously bonding with our air fryers. How about y'all? They're especially handy for this time of year when we're all trying to cut back and eat a bit healthier. These Greek Style Chicken Skewers come out tender and tasty, but with a little char as though you had grilled them. Bonus! We've included a creamy feta dipping sauce that you'll find yourself using for more than dipping the chicken.

She Crab Soup! Well, we're going to be honest. Thi She Crab Soup! Well, we're going to be honest. This soup is creamy, delicious, easy to make and full of crab flavor. But it is not "she" crab because we don't do roe. If you love it, you can always make the soup and then dribble some roe on top and we promise not to judge.

This marinated chicken has been a favorite around This marinated chicken has been a favorite around here for more years than we care to admit we've been cooking chicken. It's nothing fancy. Chances are you've got all the ingredients already. And, yes, if you noticed those pretty grill marks you've figured out our favorite way to cook it, but it's just great cooked in a skillet too. We like to prepare a whole pile of it and then have it for salads, sandwiches, nachos or just a nice, lean piece of chicken with some veggies. Comment with a 🍗 or Google "Biscuits & Burlap Preacher Chicken" and we'll link you to the recpe.
