Sweet and salty, quick and easy, and simply a great chicken. Whenever I catch myself walking past the rotisserie chicken stand in ShopRite or other big box stores of the like, I can’t help but lay my eyes on it for an extra couple of seconds thinking, “this cooking style makes chicken so good.” Was…

9×13 Life: Kid’s Favorite Chicken, Rice, and Potatoes
Shiffy said, “It’s nothing, it’s not a recipe,” and we said, “That’s exactly what we want!” Note from BCP: You are already familiar with Shiffy’s recipes here on BCP, including some epic ones, like The Most Delicious Cauliflower Soup, Dairy Apple Caramel Galette, and more gourmet items like this Eggplant and Pistachio Appetizer. If you…
Elevate Any Dinner with This Simple Hack
This one easy hack takes your dinners from eh to eh-xciting. And only adds 2 more minutes of prep time. Bowls. Yup, just make it a bowl. Same dinner, same boring chicken, rice, roasted vegetable — but throw it in a bowl with any toppings you have on hand, and you’ll be counting down until…
Crock-Pot Chicken and Potatoes
Because, some days, you need to leave your house knowing that dinner will be waiting for you when you walk through that door. Coming home, after being out working all day, to a cooked dinner, sounds like the solution to all problems. Right? If we could just nail dinner, we would be fine. And true,…
One Pan Chicken Nuggets and Fries
Why didn’t we think of this before? The one pan, no mess, family-friendly chicken dinner that everyone will love. One of the team members recently asked the others, “Do you remember how long we used to spend cooking dinner?” As newlyweds, dinner used to take all day to make. Then we learned to make dinner…
The Best Homemade Beef Jerky
You will never buy jerky again. We can promise you that. So, let me explain this to you, in a way that you will understand, without saying too many words, about how my boys have been bragging about the “jerky that my mom made” to anyone willing to listen. Also, I became the cool mom…
Flavor Bomb Pesto & Chicken Caesar Salad
It’s simple but it packs in loads of flavor for a one-dish meal. At Between Carpools, we love those one dish meals that are healthy and light and do a good job pleasing at least a majority of the people. If you’re looking for salads that are a meal, we have this Ramen Crunch Salad…
Caramelized Onion Chicken
It might take a couple extra steps–but this dish is that “notch up” chicken you’ve been missing on the menu. One afternoon, I set out to make Chicken Marsala for dinner. I didn’t, though, like the look of the mushrooms I had on hand. It was time to improvise. I worked with the remaining ingredients…
Hot Dog Burnt Ends
This checks all the boxes: family-friendly, quick-to-prep, cost-effective…and best of all, deliciously smokey. I’m not sure if it’s just food people (food writers, avid cooks… ) that go through food phases. One example might be obsessing over a particular salad combination and making it over and over again. Or creating different variations of a similar…
The 9×13 Life: Peruvian Chicken
Just the right spice is the easiest way to fast flavor. In my house, aside from our Between Carpools favorites, I have my “top three go-to fast prep dinners.” One is my side of salmon, simple seasoned (curry + cumin + dill + garlic + salt + pepper) roasted at 425°F until crispy at the…
