Bacon Pie
This bacon pie recipe is so good and easy to make. It will be welcome at breakfast, brunch, or supper.
Chicken Salad for One
My fiance loves chicken salad, but it's not for me, so i always end up throwing out extra servings that other recipes make. So, I made a single serving one day and am sharing my recipe so you don't have to waste extra servings either! If you like your chicken salad crunchy, add some cashews! Serve as a sandwich or on top of lettuce!
Breakfast Pies
Individual breakfast pies that can be made ahead of time, and microwaved as needed. My 3 year old grandson loves them, and they are finger food for the little ones. The big guys love them too. I fix hash browns and gravy as side dishes for the big guys, and it is a huge hit!
