Crunchy outside soft inside, cheesy and creamy, just the way you want it. Doused with Vodka sauce. The vodka is from Bogue Sound Distillery. This was something Joshua created in his mind this week and we brainstormed the recipe, it’s a trial and error recipe, that is not quite right. But as soon as I work it out I will share it with you guys!
I’ll give you the vodka sauce to tie you over until then.
Christina’s Vodka Sauce
1/4 cup butter
1 Tablespoon Garlic
1 tube tomato paste
1/2 cup Vodka
1/2 tsp -1 tsp Crazy Salt
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Season to taste
In saucepan on medium heat, add butter when melted mix in the garlic, squeeze the tube out, when it becomes sort of gritty, be careful and pour in vodka slowly, let it cook down, you will be able to tell when the smell doesn’t burn your nose anymore. lol then whisk in the whipping cream to thicken it up. Taste I then season as Desired.

I made my first half-sheet cake, for a baby shower for my boss’s first grandchild and it turned out incredible! Joshua even liked it, he tasted from the scraps, ya know the left overs, there is always icing in the bowl to dip the cut sides with! 😮😊

Creamy Alfredo Sauce under pan fried golden chicken and broccoli as a side. As good as homemade, for those nights you just need something fast but tasty, in under 30 mins and under $20
Sometimes people gotta eat, shortcuts don’t have to be bad, you can always play around with flavors.

Muellers Bow tie pasta ($1.50)
2 lg chicken Breast sliced in half ($5-$7)
1/4 cup white wine (optional, but will add flavor and deglaze the pan)
1 Tbsp Garlic (jarlic)
1 jar Bertoli Garlic Alfredo ($2.99)
Freshly Grated Parmesan ($5.99, but worth every penny)
Foodlion Steam in bag ($1.88)
You can change the time you do these, but this is how I do it.
Cook pasta, set aside
Cook broccoli in microwave, let sit until ready to put on plate.
The morning of slice your chicken, dry it season both sides and place in a ziploc bag until supper-time, take out about 30 mins to come to room temperature this will help it cook evenly. When ready, heat a pan on medium high with a little avocado oil(I use this because it is good at high temps and doesn’t burn) Dry both sides of chicken, then place your chicken in the skillet. When it starts to turn golden on edges flip it over, cook the other side. Turn down your med until chicken is at 155°, the chicken will continue to cook as resting if you cover lightly with foil, if you let it cook in pan until 165° your chicken will be dry. This will ensure juicy flavorful chicken.
After chicken is cooked and on a plate covered with foil, in same skillet add in the wine to deglaze, add garlic, and jar of sauce. Whisk together until smooth. Season as desired ( I usually add in Parmesan cheese about 1/4-1/2 cup, and 1/2 tsp Crazy Salt, and some Italian Seasonings.
Pour the Alfredo over the bow ties and mix, slice the chicken, and place broccoli on side. That’s it, so easy for one of those easy cooking nights! Yes, I do make Alfredo from scratch as well. But this is a close second to that.

Pan fried chicken cutlets with a lemony creamy sauce, perfect for rice. And if you want peas pay attention and stir them so they don’t burn 🤦‍♀️
1 pkg Chicken cutlets
1 Tablespoon of Crazy Salt
- For tender chicken, do this the night before, or at least 30 mins before.
Lay chicken out, dry with paper towel, then season, repeat for the other side. Then place in a ziplock bag until next day.
-Next day, take out chicken 30 mins before cooking. This will help it cook evenly.
In a skillet about medium
heat add a little avocado oil, then lay each piece down, don’t crowd the pan only 2-3 at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes, usually time to flip when browned on edges. Make sure to get good browning on both sides, if you lift it up and it’s not golden, let it sit a little longer until it is.
After meat is cooked, place on a plate and cover with foil, this will keep the juices in.
Sauce
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup water
1 Tbsp Roasted chicken bouillon
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
4 oz tube Zesty Lemon paste
1-2 Tbsp Garlic (Jarlic)
1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper (Lawry’s)
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan
1 tsp Fresh Basil
1 Lemon (just juice)
Season to taste
In same pan, add in the wine to deglaze the pan, in a measuring cup stir together water, bouillon, and cornstarch, until there are no clumps, then set aside.
In pan add lemon paste, garlic, and lemon pepper. Pour in the bouillon mixture, then whipped cream, add in Parmesan, sprinkle in basil, and add lemon juice. Then season to taste, which means add whatever you feel you need. That’s it! Easy peasy and so good! Joshua said it was the best I ever made.

Because I was asked, Yes, I do sell my cakes and breads and even Lasagna or Spaghetti on occasion I enjoy being in my kitchen, and it truly is a labor of love, and I think it shows in the details. I love a challenge, and love to create recipes. I also pet-sit occasionally and have references. I love the fur-babies! All this extra money will help me pay off my house quicker. So if you need any of this let me know, or share with others, Love y’all ❤️
