It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is KAREN’S CHICKEN BISCUITS!

If you’re looking for something different to make for the family that they’ll love, this is the recipe for you. They’re similar to beef pasties but “lighter” somehow. That doesn’t mean less filling though. Fix a salad with these, and no one will walk away hungry. I promise! I admit this one takes a bit of work but it’s so worth it. Grab an eager assistant and it will go so much faster. I’ve been known to make a double batch so there’s enough left over for lunches. It’s a “grab and go” meal that’s good hot or cold!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

How many of us grew up eating creamed dried beef or S.O.S. (Stuff, okay, “That Other Word” On a Shingle) or Creamed Chipped Beef as it was also called? It was a quick and satisfying meal and inexpensive. It was also one of the few times we could justify eating waffles for dinner. No waffles? Toast works, too.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

I recently had a conversation on Facebook with Sam, a friend and reader, about a recipe I shared that essentially called for Peanut Butter Cups. I mentioned I had a homemade recipe to make my own and she pointed out that I’ve never shared it here. Mea culpa! She also shared her recipe for Reese’s Squares with me as an alternative to buying peanut butter cups. We decided to share them both. Easy to make Candy Heaven!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

A lot of people have recipes for Snickerdoodle Cookies but this is my version. One of the reasons I love it is because it makes so many wonderful cookies. If you need cookies for a school bake sale, this is the recipe for you! No, these won’t be those, “I forgot to tell you, Mom, but I need a million cookies tomorrow” cookies. But they’re so yummy and worth the effort.   

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
