BUSY DAY CHICKEN RECIPE
1 bottle of French dressing
1 can of cranberry sauce
1 Lipton Onion Soup Mix Packet
3 lb. Chicken, your choice
Empty all ingredients into a medium microwavable bowl. Cook on high 3 minutes. Using a whisk, whisk ingredients together well. If you are using large chicken breasts, take the skins off and split the breast in half, leaving the rib attached. Spray the baking dish well with cooking spray for easy cleanup. Place chicken in a 13x9x2 baking dish, with bones facing upward. Pour the sauce over the top and flip the chicken, making sure to coat both sides well with sauce. Spoon sauce over the top if needed. Cover with a tight seal of foil with no venting. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Take the chicken out of the oven and poke a couple of holes in the foil to release most of the steam. Carefully remove foil and return to oven and bake 60 additional minutes.
Serve with cream potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. This makes an excellent sauce that is similar to BBQ but sweeter.

Is Your Banana Pudding From a Box? Try This Instead!
Collard Valley Cooks
Chris is back from Collard Valley Cooks, and today he's showing us how to make banana pudding from scratch, so skip that box mix! This dessert is a southern cooking tradition, and with this pudding recipe, you'll have everyone asking for more.
So that's the secret. The ultimate banana pudding isn't a secret at all, it's a challenge. I am challenging YOU to throw away the box and make this legendary dessert. You're not just making pudding, you're creating a core memory people will talk about forever. This is the one recipe that will make you a legend.
Banana Pudding, Vol. 1 Cookbook Recipe
Pudding:
1/2 cup of sugar
1/3 cup self-rising flour
A dash of salt
4 egg yolks
2 1/4 cups of milk
1/4 stick salted butter
1 tsp vanilla
In an 8-cup glass batter bowl, add sugar, self-rising flour, and a dash of salt. Whisk well. Add egg yolks and milk, then whisk thoroughly. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Remove, whisk to incorporate, scraping flour from the bottom and sides. Continue microwaving in 2-minute intervals until thick and creamy. Remove, add butter and vanilla, whisking well. Pudding is best when slightly thin, as it can be dry.
Meringue:
4 egg whites (room temperature)
1/4 cup sugar mixed with 2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Add egg whites to a clean, dry mixing bowl. Use stainless steel if available. Mix whites on high speed until they start to foam. Add cream of tartar and slowly mix in the sugar/starch mixture while beating on high. Beat until stiff peaks form (do not overbeat). It should be ready within 3 minutes.
Layer in the Serving Bowl:
box of Nabisco Nilla wafers
4 ripe bananas
Use half of the pudding, 3/4 of a box of wafers, sliced bananas, remaining pudding, then top with meringue. Seal the dish edges with meringue, arrange cookies around the edge, sprinkle crumbs, and bake for 25 minutes. Delicious!
