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 from my own kitchen or a guest author favorite. It could be a cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes the eye and fancy…which today is TURTLE BROWNIES!

Who doesn’t love a pan full of yummy, gooey brownies? I love turtle candies, too, and this recipe gives you a taste of both. This is a wonderful panful of flavor that is always welcome at a Halloween party.

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

Karen’s Killer Fixin’s: BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN

July 26, 2019 Karen Docter 13 Comments

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 BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN!

Everyone who knows me knows I LOVE BACON!! Anything with bacon added is great in my book. 🙂 This wrapped chicken is savory and flavorful and surrounded in BACON. Did I mention how much I love bacon? Snicker. I do like the versatility of this recipe because, with just a tweak or two of cheese or vegetables, the flavor palate changes. With my new challenge of making meals that are Weight Watchers friendly, this is a good one…with the exception of the cheese. Zero points for chicken, veggies, and bacon. Win-win!

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

I love this recipe for blueberry muffins because it’s so easy to make. The muffins are moist and delicious, and bursting with fresh blueberry flavor. I love them best hot and slathered with butter but they’re good cold, too, a great muffin for on-the-go.

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

I love chicken because it’s so versatile. One or two recipe changes and it tastes completely different. Add bacon–mmmmm, BACON–where was I? Oh, yeah! A new chicken recipe for you. It sounds like this is a bit of work to put together but it really isn’t. Even if it was, it would be sooooo worth the effort. These flavors mesh so beautifully. The family will love it!

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

My mom has been making this recipe most of my life for special holidays and parties, but it’s a great change on the traditional salad anytime. Placing squares of Pineapple Cheese Salad on a bed of lettuce looks festive and the flavors are pure dessert. It’s a favorite in my house and easy to make, even though it takes a bit of planning to allow for the “setting” time. Mmmmm! I think I may need to make this soon. 🙂

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

It’s been awhile since I’ve had the opportunity to share one of my own recipes on Killer Fixin’s and I thought it would be nice to share a quick and easy chuck steak recipe. You can do this one on the barbecue grill but be careful to watch for flare ups with the butter and oil mixtures. It is easier to control the cooking process in the oven. Serve with a crisp salad and some hot bread and you’ve got a great fall meal.

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

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!
