Cranberry Orange Mango Chutney
I love cooking for Thanksgiving. One of the perfect compliments to turkey is cranberry sauce - but I've had enough of that stuff you plop out of a can and serve! I searched and searched for something that would give me a cranberry fix, but also compliment a Thanksgiving meal. I can't wait to make this!!
Cranberry Orange Mango Chutney
Ingredients
1 12 oz. bag of fresh cranberries
1 orange peeled & diced
3/4 cup mango diced (I'll probably use frozen mango chunks that my husband uses for smoothies)
1 1/4 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. ground ginger (can add more to cut sweetness, if needed)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Directions
Combine all items in a sauté pan and bring to a boil
Reduce heat and allow to simmer until thickened
Average time = 20 min (depends on thickness desired for the chutney)
Yields approx. 24 oz. of chutney (3 small jars)
If refrigerated, this will keep for several weeks.
Looking forward to turkey, cranberry chutney and all the fixins'!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone :)

Bacon-wrapped chicken tenders
It's no secret that I love bacon. It makes everything better. When I decided to make bacon-wrapped chicken, I thought it was going to be good. But never did I expect it to be AMAZEBALLS!!! OMG. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I made it for our good friends a few weeks ago and they told me I need to bottle the sauce, for realz. I guess that means they liked it :P
Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Tenders
Ingredients
1 lb chicken tenders (about 10 tenders)
10 strips of bacon
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup of brown sugar (I used dark, but light would work too)
2 tablespoons chili powder
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°
Mix together salt, pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, parsley and garlic powder
Rinse chicken tenders
Sprinkle spice mixture over chicken tenders and completely coat them generously
Put foil on baking pan and spray with non-stick spray
Wrap bacon strip around each chicken tender
Place each chicken tender into baking pan
Mix together brown sugar and chili powder
Sprinkle this mixture generously over bacon-wrapped chicken, pressing sugar mixture into the chicken to pack it on
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is crisp
Serve while it's hot (and drizzle the pan sauce onto the chicken for extra yummy goodness!)

Banana Choc Chip Muffins
Who KNEW my husband loved muffins so much!? I mean, we've been together for 7 years and although I've baked quite a few times for him, this is the first thing I've ever made from scratch. Let me just tell you -- he ate FIVE muffins in one sitting! LOL! I guess that means they were awesome :P
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 bananas mashed (I even used my potato masher for this :P)
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. nutmeg (we were out so I added vanilla extract instead)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda (this was a little tricky... I only had baking powder - so I used a 2-1 ration and used 2 tsp. of baking powder)
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°
Mix butter and sugar together in a small bowl
Dissolve baking powder in water - then add to a separate bowl with mashed bananas and egg
Add butter and sugar mixture to combine all wet ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, now combine dry ingredients -- flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and chocolate chips (since I used vanilla in lieu of nutmeg, I added the vanilla in with the wet ingredients)
Add wet ingredients into flour mixture and stir til combined
Rub butter in bottom of muffin tins
Fill each tin about 1/2 to 3/4 full of batter
Bake for about 20 minutes
Note - You may want to make a double batch if you have a husband like mine! He put them on the very top of the cabinet so I can't reach them :(
