Perfect Fried Chicken

January 20, 2016 / Updated November 20, 2023 / By Wendi Spraker

Perfect Fried Chicken @loavesanddishes.net

TODAY friend, I am super excited to give you an awesome recipe for perfect fried chicken. I have searched,no kidding, for a perfect fried chicken recipe for about 25 years…. at least 25 years. I have tried frying chicken every which way there is and I have NEVER been able to develop a thick crispy crust that would be completely done all the way around and not be burned on other parts. I have never … [Read more...]

Best Ever Macaroni and Cheese

January 13, 2016 / Updated July 31, 2020 / By Wendi Spraker

Best Ever Macaroni and Cheese

I know. I know. As you are reading this recipe, you are thinking, “My GOD, what is that woman trying to do to her family and guests with all of that cream, cheese, cream cheese and (gasp) cheese food?”  In my own defense, I have to tell you, this began innocently enough many years ago- I was simply using up some things in my fridge and invented this recipe. And quite honestly, I have thought … [Read more...]

Mushroom Bacon Calzone

Easy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

December 23, 2015 / Updated March 10, 2025 / By Wendi Spraker

Easy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Eat the soup! EAT THE SOUP!!! For years I have said, “But, I don’t like Chicken Noodle Soup!”  You know the kind I’m talking about, the weak broth, the stringy worm-like little nothing noodles and the tiny pieces of stringy overcooked chicken that are something akin to wet burlap. Yuck. I don’t like it. However, when I have been sick and someone made THE SOUP, I ATE THE SOUP. ewww. Let’s … [Read more...]

Carolina Christmas Beans

Carolina Christmas Beans

Who me? Don’t mind me. I’m just sitting over here munching on my Carolina Christmas Beans just like I’ve been doing for the past couple of days. I thought we might need an alternative to Green Bean Casserole - I mean, I LOVE Green Bean Casserole - but, I’m a little tired of it, aren’t you? Wouldn’t you love to try something new? Me too! So, that does it, just whip up a bowl Carolina Christmas … [Read more...]

The Perfect Roasted Turkey

November 27, 2015 / Updated July 1, 2025 / By Wendi Spraker

The Perfect Roasted Turkey

Why? Why oh why would I post a recipe for the perfect roasted turkey on the day AFTER Thanksgiving? Am I just being mean? Am I dense? Did someone hit me in the head while I was Black Friday shopping? Is my calendar a day off? Nope. The issue is that 99% of the time this website is all about you. I purposefully post recipes that I think you want to see. Admittedly, I take photos that I think will … [Read more...]
