Sliders are the best little sandwiches! I can’t resist ordering them when I find them on the menu, as 2-3 sliders is just the perfect-sized meal for my stomach. My family loves them for an easy lunch the next day, too!

With football season about to begin, it’s absolutely necessary to have some easy dinner recipes on hand that are easy to make, full of flavor, and shareable. Maybe you need a quick meal before heading out to the game, or you want something easy you can bring with you to the next party. BBQ Chicken Sliders are also an easy way to feed the whole family once back-to-school season hits and everyone is running from one activity to the next!

Ingredients for Chicken Sliders

You only need a few simple ingredients for these slider sandwiches:

For the BBQ Shredded Chicken:

• Shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover chicken that’s grilled or baked)
• BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
• A1sauce
• Chicken broth or water (if needed to loosen the chicken)

For the Sliders:

• 12 slider buns (Hawaiian sweet rolls, brioche, or dinner rolls)
• Melted butter

• Pickles or sliced red onion (optional, for extra flavor)

How to Make Easy Chicken Sliders

These sliders couldn’t be easier! Here’s how to make them:

1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the shredded chicken along with ¼ cup of chicken broth or water to keep it moist. Stir in BBQ sauce and A1 sauce, mixing well. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is heated through.
2. Cut the sliders in half with a serrated knife and place the bottom halves of the slider buns in a greased baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet.
3. Spoon the BBQ shredded chicken evenly over the buns. Add fresh toppings like coleslaw, pickles, or sliced red onions if using.
4. Place the tops of the rolls over the chicken and, using a pastry brush, brush them with the melted butter mixture. If you want them hot, you can cover them with aluminum foil, place them in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes, then remove and bake for another 5 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Otherwise, serve & enjoy extra BBQ sauce on the side!

Different Variations

• Add mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, or your favorite cheese for that gooey bite!
• For sweeter barbecue sauce, stir in 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar.
• Want to add a spicy kick? Add ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce.
• Need a dairy-free version? Skip the butter topping or use olive oil instead.
• Toast the Buns: Lightly toasting slider buns adds flavor and prevents sogginess.
• If the BBQ sauce is too thick, thin it out with a little broth or apple cider vinegar.

FAQs

Can I use shredded rotisserie chicken?

Yes! Shred the rotisserie chicken and warm it in a skillet with BBQ sauce and a splash of broth for moisture.

What’s the best type of chicken to use for Chicken Sliders?

You can use whichever variety you prefer. Chicken breasts are leaner and shred more easily. Chicken thighs are juicier and more flavorful. Rotisserie chicken is nice because it’s quick and convenient.

Can I cook the chicken in the Instant Pot?

Yes! Add chicken breasts or thighs, 1 cup broth, and seasonings to the Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes (12-15 minutes if frozen), do a 5-minute natural release, then shred and mix with BBQ sauce.

Can I make BBQ shredded chicken in a slow cooker (Crockpot)?

Absolutely! Add chicken, 1 cup broth, and seasonings to the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours. Shred the chicken, stir in BBQ sauce, and serve!

How do I keep the chicken from drying out?

Here are a few helpful tips:

• Don’t overcook it.
• Mix in a little broth with the BBQ sauce for moisture.
• Let it rest for a few minutes before shredding.

How do I prevent soggy BBQ Chicken Sliders?

Toast the buns lightly before assembling to prevent sogginess from the BBQ sauce.

Can I freeze BBQ shredded chicken?

Yes! Let it cool completely, then store in an airtight container or freezer bags for up to 3 months. I wouldn’t freeze the sandwiches, as the bread could be soggy when thawed. Freeze the chicken filling, then make the sandwiches fresh with the thawed, heated chicken.

When it’s hot, the last thing I want to do is heat up the kitchen by using my oven. I’m a big fan of salad recipes in the summer, and this tasty Chicken Salad is perfect for a light dinner, lunch, or even picnics!

Why Chicken Salad without Mayo?

Mayonnaise has its place, but I’ve had too many traditional chicken salad sandwiches that were goopy and flavorless, mainly because they used too much mayo! I thought using Greek yogurt would be a great way to preserve the creamy dressing of a good chicken salad while adding more depth to the flavor!

Using Greek yogurt in your chicken salad, along with lean chicken, makes this a high protein meal. It will help you feel full and satisfied for longer without weighing you down!

Chicken Salad without Mayo Ingredients

• Start with cooked chicken. Leftover rotisserie chicken is perfect for this, or any leftover chicken you have. You’ll need about 4 cups.
• Plain Greek yogurt (we use this instead of mayonnaise for a tangy flavor!)
• Buttermilk (While you can make homemade buttermilk/sour milk, I highly encourage you to use real buttermilk to get the right consistency!)
• Whole grain mustard
• Lemon juice
• Sriracha or your favorite hot sauce, to taste
• Fresh celery, chopped
• Red onion
• Fresh parsley, coarsely chopped

Don’t forget to review the recipe card at the bottom of the post for a detailed ingredient list!

How to Make Classic Chicken Salad Without Mayonnaise

This homemade chicken salad recipe couldn’t be easier!

1. In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, buttermilk, whole grain mustard, lemon juice and hot sauce.
2. Stir in the cooked chicken (shred or chop the chicken first if needed), celery, onion, and parsley.
3. Season with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
4. Serve on rolls or with salad greens and enjoy!

Recipe Variations

• If you don’t like crunchy veggies like celery or red onion, feel free to leave them out.
• Use yellow or Dijon mustard instead of whole grain mustard.
• Mix in any of the following: halved red grapes, chopped bell peppers, avocado, raisins or dried cranberries, sun-dried tomatoes, walnuts, or pecans.
• Serve chicken salad without mayo on hot dog buns, Hawaiian sweet rolls, sliced croissants, rolled up in tortillas or sandwich wraps, or on flatbread.
• Use it as a dip with sliced veggies, pita chips, or tortilla chips.
• If you’re trying to eat low carb, one great option is to serve it on lettuce leaves. Also, try it in an avocado shell, or in a hollowed-out pepper or tomato!

FAQs

How do I store leftovers of Chicken Salad Without Mayo?

This mayo-free chicken salad will last for up to 3 days, stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container or covered tightly with plastic wrap.

Can I freeze it?

Yes, this no-mayo chicken salad freezes well! Place it in a freezer bag and lay it flat. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw completely in the fridge overnight before serving.

Can I make it ahead of time?

Yes, you can! Store it in the fridge in an airtight container until you’re ready to serve it. It’s best within the first 24 hours, though.

Can I alter the recipe to feed more or fewer people?

Of course! This recipe is easily halved to feed a few or doubled to feed a crowd! We recently made a big batch of this creamy salad and brought it with a box of croissants to a park for a picnic lunch for my church ladies!

Can I use fat-free Greek yogurt?

For best results, I recommend using full-fat or 2% fat Greek Yogurt. Fat-free will work, but won’t be as creamy.

What goes well with Chicken Salad Sandwiches?

Serve this with some fresh fruit or veggies on the side, or with some of your favorite chips! Finish off with a Chocolate Chip Cookie for a nice treat!

With all the big games coming up, it’s absolutely necessary to have some recipes on hand that are easy to make, full of flavor, and shareable. Maybe you need a quick meal before heading out to the game, or you want something easy you can bring with you to the next party. Whether you’re feeding your whole family or hosting friends, this recipe will have everyone coming back for seconds. 

One of my favorite ways to cook up an easy meal is using a batch of pre-cooked Hawaiian rolls to make sliders. The name brand works best, but even the store brand works just fine. You can slice the whole package of rolls in half at once, fill the bottom buns with your favorite sandwich toppings, then add the top buns back and bake! I do this with my other easy slider recipes: Ham and Cheese Party Sandwiches, Aloha Sloppy Sliders, and even Turkey Sliders with Cranberry Sauce!

Ingredients for Mini Big Mac Sliders

Let’s start with the ingredients needed to make your homemade Big Mac sauce:

• Mayonnaise
• Sweet pickle relish
• Dijon mustard
• Granulated sugar
• White vinegar
• Paprika
• Onion powder
• Garlic powder
• White peppers

For the burgers themselves, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Ground beef
• Finely chopped onion
• Garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the sliders overall, you’ll need these things:

• American cheese slices
• Melted butter
• Sesame seeds
• Pickle slices
• Shredded iceberg lettuce

Be sure to review the recipe card below for the full recipe with exact amounts of ingredients and detailed instructions!

How to make Big Mac Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls

First, Make the Sauce: 

1. In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients: mayonnaise, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, sugar, vinegar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and white pepper. 
2. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. 

Next, Prepare the Slider Buns: 

3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. 
4. Line a sheet pan or baking dish with parchment paper. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally using a serrated knife.I like to just fold down the sides of the cardboard and slice through the whole package at once, keeping the tops as one large piece.
5. Brush the cut sides of the buns with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Place them cut-side up on the baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 4–5 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and set aside. 

Cook the Burger Filling: 

6. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion, breaking up the meat with a spatula. 
7. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent. Drain any excess grease. 
8. Alternatively, you could mix the ground beef and seasonings together, spread it out into an even layer the size of your buns on a hot skillet, then cook the ground beef until done, flipping to cook both sides. This gives your sliders burger patties rather than the crumbled ground beef.

Finally, Assemble and Bake the Mini Big Macs: 

8. Spread some of the prepared sauce on the bottom halves of the buns. 
9. Layer the ground beef mixture on top, followed by a layer of cheese and then pickle slices. 
10. Place the top halves of the buns back on, brush the top of the buns with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. 
11. Bake in the oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. 
12. Remove from the oven, lift the tops of the buns, and add the shredded lettuce. Replace the tops and serve immediately with extra sauce on the side. 

Recipe Notes and Tips: 

• Use Lean Ground Beef: This minimizes the amount of grease and makes cleanup easier. 
• Make The Sauce Ahead of Time: The Big Mac sauce can be prepared up to a week in advance and stored in the fridge. 
• Save Time: If you’re short on time, use a store-bought Big Mac-style sauce from the grocery store. 
• Crispy Lettuce Hack: Add the shredded lettuce just before serving to keep it fresh and crisp. We found if we assembled and baked the sliders with the lettuce it got a little wilted and soggy. So we highly recommend adding it after they have been heated through in the oven. 
• Customize It: Add more cheese, pickles, or onions to suit your taste preferences! 

FAQs

Can I use a different type of bun? 

Yes! If Hawaiian rolls aren’t your thing, try brioche slider buns or any small, soft rolls you like. 

Can I make this Big Mac Sliders recipe ahead of time? 

You can cook the beef mixture and prep the sauce in advance. Assemble and bake the sliders just before serving for the best flavor and texture. 

How do I store leftover Big Mac Sliders? 

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain their texture. 

Can I freeze these sliders? 

It’s not recommended to freeze the assembled sliders, but you can freeze the cooked beef mixture. Thaw and reheat before assembling. 

Can I use a different type of cheese? 

Absolutely! While American cheese gives that classic Big Mac flavor, cheddar, Swiss, or even pepper jack can be great substitutes.

Sliders are a great weeknight meal. They are so versatile and can have just about any mix of fillings. You can have as few or as many as you like, and you can make them in the oven or on the grill for an easy dinner anytime!

 Why Hawaiian Roll Turkey Sliders Are The Best

• Soft Hawaiian rolls have just the right amount of sweetness to offset the savory flavors in the turkey sandwich. If you’re a fan of sweet and salty flavors, you’ll find these sliders irresistible!
• You can easily pop them out of the package and slice them in half with a sharp knife, making these sliders so easy to put together!
• The sweet, buttery sauce on top elevates these turkey sliders to a whole new level!

Ingredients for Turkey Sliders with Cranberry Sauce

This easy recipe is great for using up leftovers, but you can grab any of these simple ingredients from the grocery store too! Here’s what you need:

• Unsalted Butter
• Worcestershire Sauce
• Brown Sugar
• Dijon mustard
• Poppy seeds
• Hawaiian Dinner Rolls
• Leftover turkey or turkey deli meat
• Provolone cheese
• Cranberry sauce
• Stuffing (leftover or freshly made)

Equipment Needed: Turkey Cranberry Sliders

To make these, you’ll need a few kitchen staples:

• Sharp serrated knife– for slicing the rolls
• Bowl and spoon- for mixing the topping
• Spatula– for serving
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper– for lining the baking sheet
• Aluminum foil- for the top while baking

How to Make Hawaiian Roll Turkey Sliders with Cranberry Sauce

1. First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a 9×13 baking dish or cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Melt the butter in a small bowl. Tip: cut the butter into small slices to help prevent it from exploding in the microwave. Then melt the butter in 10-second increments. If you prefer, you can melt it on the stovetop in a saucepan.
3. Add the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and poppy seeds to a small bowl. Mix until combined and set it aside.
4. Remove the rolls from the packaging and slice the whole set of rolls in half at once, separating the tops from the bottoms. Place the bottoms of the rolls in the prepared baking sheet.
5. In this order, add the following ingredients: turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and cheese.
6. Place the tops of the rolls onto the sliders.
7. Cut the sliders into individual squares. I don’t like to cut them after baking as they can get a bit squished. I also love that this way, the butter topping will drip down all the sides of the sliders, not just the outside.
8. Brush the butter sauce all over the tops of the sliders. Place aluminum foil on top of the sliders and bake for 15-20 minutes or heated all the way through.
9. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve immediately for best results.

Recipe Additions/Substitutions

• If you don’t have leftover Thanksgiving turkey, you can use deli slices or request to have deli turkey sliced at the store. They also sell packages of chopped turkey which I use for these if I haven’t cooked a turkey.
• You can use any of your favorite cheeses. Besides Provolone, Havarti, Swiss, or Gouda cheeses work really well with these flavors!
• You can garnish your turkey with fresh rosemary and thyme.

FAQs

How do I store leftover Turkey Sliders with Cranberry Sauce?

You can store these in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can eat them cold out of the fridge or reheat in the microwave, oven, or air fryer. Set it at 350 degrees and bake for 10 minutes. Don’t forget to cover them with aluminum foil (except in the microwave!)

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes, you can make these the day before you need them for easy prepping! Since the cranberry sauce is nestled in between the turkey and stuffing, the rolls won’t get soggy. I do recommend you wait to add the butter topping until right before you are ready to bake them, though.

Can I freeze Turkey Sliders?

While individual ingredients can be frozen to use later, I wouldn’t recommend freezing these. Instead, save leftover ingredients in freezer bags or other freezer-safe containers, then thaw overnight before you want to assemble your sliders. Bake and serve fresh!

If you’re a fan of sliders these Turkey Sliders with Cranberry Sauce are sure to be a hit at your next event.
They’ll be great on game days, holiday parties, and for those post Thanksgiving sandwiches, too!

If you’re not from Rhode Island, then you might not know what Dynamites are. Heck, I’m a Little Rhody native and only found out these sandwiches existed about a year ago! They’re popular in Woonsocket which is in the northern part of the state and we southerners don’t get up there much cause it’s too far to drive. 😂 You may think I’m kidding, but it’s the TRUTH!

Also called “Torpedoes”, these spicy sandwiches are similar to Sloppy Joes but with a fiery twist. The secret is in the sauce; red pepper flakes, onions, and green and red peppers add a little kick of heat to the tomato-based ground beef mixture.

Everyone in Rhode Island will claim that they make the “best” Dynamite sandwiches, but my absolute favorite way to serve this Dynamite recipe is spooned over fresh pasta. I love how versatile this recipe is, and you can easily scale it up or down to feed your family or a large crowd. It’s great for tailgating, freezes well, and tastes amazing! It’s become one of Kurt’s favorite meals.

Ingredients for Dynamites

Gather together the following ingredients to make this spicy sauce:

• Olive oil- for cooking your veggies
• Lean ground beef (I use 90% lean)
• Red pepper
• Green bell peppers
• Onions, chopped
• Garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper
• Tomato sauce
• Canned fire roasted tomatoes, diced
• Tomato paste
• Worcestershire sauce
• Italian seasoning
• Red pepper flakes

For serving, you’ll need either a bag of torpedo rolls (small hoagie-style rolls) or your favorite pasta.

Make sure to review the recipe card below to see the exact amounts you need of each ingredient!

How to Make This Dynamites Recipe

1. Prepare your vegetables. Core, seed, and slice the peppers. Leave some slices longer and chop others into smaller pieces for variety. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
2. Cook the beef. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the ground beef. Cook until brown, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to the slow cooker, leaving some grease in the pan. Set the slow cooker to low.
3. Saute the vegetables. Add the peppers, onion, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook until somewhat soft, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker with the slotted spoon.
4. Combine. Add the rest of the ingredients to the slow cooker – both cans of tomato sauce, fire-roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt. Mix until completely combined.
5. Cook and Serve. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve the meat filling in torpedo rolls, over pasta or as a dip with chips.

I know the roast turkey is the main event of any Thanksgiving dinner. But honestly, this is the food I crave all year long: that first turkey sandwich made with your Herb Roasted Turkey and smothered in all the delicious leftover Thanksgiving food. There’s nothing like it!

Every year, we eat at our main meal at 1 pm, so we can have turkey sandwiches while watching the football game Thanksgiving night.

The Best Bread for Sandwiches

This sandwich deserves good crusty bread. I prefer fresh sourdough, but of course, you can use any kind of bread you desire. Just don’t use sandwich bread from the grocery store; you’ll be doing this sandwich (and yourself!) a huge disservice!

I suggest using one of these bread varieties for your turkey sandwiches:

• As I noted above, sourdough is my choice for a traditional turkey sandwich. I love the slight tang, the sturdy texture, and the mild flavor that lets the flavors of the leftovers shine!
• Whole-grain bread: anything hearty with grains and seeds is the perfect choice for this amazing turkey sandwich!
• Potato bread: this bread has a soft, fluffy texture and the flavor pairs nicely with your leftovers.
• Sweet Hawaiian Bread: This slightly sweet bread adds a nice contrast to all the savory goodness of turkey and assorted sides.

If you have leftover rolls, go ahead and use those for a slider version of this sandwich.

Need smaller version of this sandwich? Make these Turkey Sliders. They’ll be perfect for a party or easy dinner.
Love a good grilled cheese sandwich? Take it to the next level with this Thanksgiving Grilled Cheese.

Ingredients for a Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwich

This leftover turkey sandwich is the perfect way to use up whatever leftovers you have in your fridge. Here’s what I use to make mine:

• 2 slices of bread (preferably sourdough)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 slices of roast turkey
• 1/3 cup leftover stuffing
• 1/3 cup mashed potatoes
• 3 tablespoons leftover cranberry sauce

Feel free to use more or less of each ingredient according to your tastes. Sometimes I leave out the mashed potatoes. Other times I add a slice of cheese. This sandwich is good with sweet potatoes, too!

Some leafy greens, like arugula or Romaine lettuce, will add some color and additional flavor, too!

You can use some leftover meat to make a Santa Fe Turkey Sandwich, too!

How to Make the Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey Sandwich

These turkey sandwiches taste best when using the leftovers within a day or two. And who really wants to cook the day after Thanksgiving? Whip up a batch to revive you during your Black Friday shopping and you’ll be set for the day!

Again, this is really more of a guide than a recipe. Here’s how I make the best leftover turkey sandwiches:

First, spread some mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Then place the slices of turkey onto one piece of bread.

Cover the turkey with some stuffing, then mashed potatoes. I like to warm both in the microwave first to make them easier to spread. You could also mix them together before spreading on top of the turkey.

Drizzle cranberry sauce over the mashed potatoes and gently spread it around. Then place the remaining slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side down. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the sandwich in half diagonally or straight across.

Enjoy all that delicious leftover goodness!

Variations on the Leftover Turkey Sandwich

​We all have different ways of making our favorite sandwiches. Try one or more of these and see which way is the best way!

• Toast the bread slices before using them for the leftover turkey sandwich.
• Or use a panini press to heat and toast the whole thing once assembled.
• Drizzle extra gravy over the mashed potatoes and stuffing before assembling the sandwich or use some on the side to dip your sandwich.
• Soak each slice of turkey in gravy before placing it on the sandwich.
• Use only one slice of bread topped with leftovers to make an open-face sandwich.

What to Serve With Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Sandwiches

This is a pretty filling sandwich on its own, so I like to keep the rest of the meal pretty light.

• Pull together a small side salad or some fresh veggies.
• Serve with a cup of homemade soup.
• Serve with your favorite chips or crackers.
• Finish up your lunch with a slice of leftover pie for dessert! (Okay, so that one’s not exactly light, but it sure is a great way to end your meal!)

What to Make With Thanksgiving Leftovers

I know, I know, you can only eat so many turkey sandwiches. If you need more creative ideas for using up those turkey leftovers (and other leftovers), check out these recipes:

• Homemade Turkey Soup– a warm cup of soup on a cold day is just the ticket! Dice up your leftover turkey and use it in this delicious soup recipe!
• Turkey Noodle Casserole– this is comfort food at its best! Enjoy the creamy sauce, rich noodles, and gooey cheese with your leftover turkey!
• Turkey Crescent Ring – another great way to use up all of those Thanksgiving leftovers is by making a crescent ring. It’s pretty easy to put together and is another alternative to a Thanksgiving sandwich.
• Cranberry Meatballs– use canned or homemade whole cranberry sauce for this sweet, tangy appetizer! You’ll be the hit at every party with these tasty meatballs!

If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know that I have an absolute love of not only food, but the farmers who provide us with it.

I am proud to be partnering with Best Food Facts and the United Soybean Board to bring you this post. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

I mean, face it, without our incredible farmers and their families, there would be no food!
The hours they put in, their work ethic, and because they absolutely love and have a passion for what they do, truly makes them some of THE greatest people you’ll ever meet.

I, along with some fellow bloggers, had the opportunity at the end of June to go to Iowa. There we learned about soy from experts, visited a soy farm, and were able to talk to farmers about their practices and sustainability. We also visited the World Prize Food Hall of Laureates and cooked with soy in different forms (keep reading and you’ll see what we made!). Needless to say we were able to eat it all, too!

Struthers Farm

Dave Struthers and his family have a farm in Collins, Iowa. They split their 1,100 acres between growing soy and corn, and the entire farm is manned by only 3 employees!
There are 33 cows and 5,500 pigs which they raise annually and are able to use the manure for fertilizer.
Did you know that 1 tablespoon of soil can have over 1 million microbes in it.

Soy planted in the beginning of June will be harvested mid-October, and there’s always a big concern about planting soybeans too early as a frost will kill the crop off. We all know how unpredictable Mother Nature can be, so it’s something they must really be aware of every year.

A cover crop of rye is planted in between the plantings of other crops partly for erosion, to improve soil health, and to prevent weeds. After that cover crop is harvested, he uses the rest of the plant for pig bedding.

At a dinner we attended on our last night in Iowa, I was able to talk more about soy with farmer Ethan Crow. He told me that “from a production standpoint, soy is a very hardy plant and can be grown in adverse conditions. When a cover crop is planted before the soy, it promotes sustainability.”

World Prize Food Hall of Laureates

While we were in Iowa, we were given a tour of the Home of the World Food Prize Foundation. It’s the Nobel Prize of the food world and is so very interesting. 

There is a hall dedicated to the past laureates, as well as a beautiful mural on the food and cultural history of Des Moines.

As you enter the rotunda, and look up, you’ll see a beautiful dome with 7500 pieces of stained glass. The four corners in the rotunda are each dedicated to the 4 grain crops that feed civilization:
Wheat
Corn
Soy
Rice

In each corner you’ll see the name of the grain in a different language, and a sculpture depicting it from root to fully grown plant.
It’s all so very fascinating to see.
If you’re interested in food and agriculture, I highly recommend it putting it on your list of things to see in Des Moines, Iowa!

Information about Soy

Did you know that most vegetable oil is really soybean oil? You’ll see when looking at the ingredient label that soybean oil will be listed as the sole or primary ingredient.
Eating about 1 ½ tablespoons daily of soybean oil may reduce your risk of coronary heart disease, and it may also reduce your blood pressure!

Soybeans are a heart-healthy plant protein that is high in fiber, folate, and phosphorus.
If you are following a specific diet and in need of protein, soy is a good option because it is a high quality protein.
It is a complete protein which is essential for our bodies because we don’t produce it.

There is a lot of concern about soy “because of the concern of allergenicity, in reality only some of the products have a minimal effect on a small percentage of the population“, says Dr. Andreas Altemueller, a contractor to the United Soybean Board. “…There needs to be a better understanding of
the benefits that are inherent in soy (such as high quality protein and universally applicable oil – both of which have a FDA approved health claim).”

Soy Isoflavones for Women –

May alleviate your hot flashes – who wouldn’t be happy with that?!
May decrease your risk of breast cancer and other hormone dependent cancers.
It may also decrease your fatigue is you are a breast cancer survivor.

Soy Isoflavones and Protein for Men –

Studies have found that there is no effect of soy on estrogen levels.
It is possible that soy foods or foods containing soy may reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer.
When practicing resistance exercise training, an increase in strength and lean tissue was found to that similar to whey supplementation.

Soy for Children –

Looking for a plant-based dairy option for your child? Fortified soymilk can be it!
Soy infant formula is a great alternative to human milk.
Foods with soy or soy foods provide a high-quality protein allowing you to rest easy knowing that your child’s growth and development are supported.

As previously stated for women, it may reduce their risk of breast cancer. You can also find more great information on soy on these websites:

• The Soy Connection
• The Soy Nutrition Institute
• Best Food Facts

Chicken Recipe

Now onto the recipe.
If you haven’t tried cooking or baking with soy, I highly recommend it! Not only is it a good source of protein, but it’s delicious in many forms.

Looking for an easy and delicious appetizer?
This Garlic Edamame rivals what you’ll find in your favorite Asian restaurant, and it’s SO easy, too!

Love guacamole? Me, too!
That’s why I made this recipe with edamame.
It’s easy, flavorful and fun for potlucks and game day.

What is Miso?

Miso is fermented soy paste with such an umami richness that it will absolutely wow your taste buds.
It can be used in a variety of recipes such as the very popular miso soup, with chicken, fish, and so much more!
It is extremely popular in Japanese cooking.
There are three types and this easy recipe uses the white miso which is the mildest and sweetest.

Combined with the fresh ginger in this chicken recipe, you’ll love the flavor, and it might just become a new favorite recipe.

Soy Recipes

• Sweet and Sour Pork Stir-Fry (at top in picture above)
• Air Fryer Bang Bang Tofu (pictured in the middle, above)
• Chinese Chickenless Lunchbox Salad (in the bottom of the picture above)
• Soy-Ginger Marinated Grilled Swordfish
• Vegetarian Chili Recipe
• Vegetarian Dumplings
• Soy Glazed Shishito Peppers
• Instant Pot Pad Thai

As I have in the past, I strongly encourage you to join your local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) to support your local farmers, AND you’ll be receiving shares in fresh produce and other items those farmers provide.

Also, farmers LOVE to tell their story and will happily explain their practices, what they do, and why they do it. You would be fascinated by all that they do and what it takes for them to provide food both for their family and us as consumers.
They work hard to make their farms sustainable and to use the best practices they can to improve their farms, farming practices, and work their hardest to be good stewards for both their communities and the land around them.
Let’s face it, they want to provide the best products they can for us because they’re also feeding their own families with the food they grow and the livestock they raise. Plus, they live where they spray fertilizers and pesticides, so you can be sure that they are super conscious and concerned for the health of those they love, too.

If you know one, PLEASE give them a hug for me. They are truly incredible people and less than 2% of the population are farmers. They deserve ALL the love and appreciation that they can be showered with.

Did you grow up eating Fluffernutter sandwiches?

Even if you didn’t, it’s never too late to try something new.

I recently learned that October 8 is National Fluffernutter Day. Who knew?

I’ll take any excuse I can get to indulge in the nostalgia of this sweet combo of peanut butter and fluff.

SAVE THIS EASY FLUFFERNUTTER SANDWICH RECIPE TO YOUR FAVORITE PINTEREST BOARD!

What is a Fluffernutter?

On paper, a fluffernutter is a sandwich made with Marshmallow Fluff and peanut butter.
But it is SO much more than a sandwich, my friends.

A fluffernutter is an experience.
A creamy, sweet, peanutty experience you’ll love sinking your teeth into, no matter how old you are.

The Fluffernutter first gained popularity in the north eastern United States over a century ago.
Marshmallow creme (a spreadable form of marshmallows) came to popularity in Massachusetts just as peanut butter was becoming a staple of American diets.

It didn’t take long for busy moms to start doling out the peanut butter and fluff sandwiches.
And more than a hundred years later, we’re still eating them.

Kids love marshmallows. Kids love peanut butter.
Put them together and you have the ultimate kid-approved sandwich!

New Englanders especially embraced the Fluffernutter.
Growing up in Rhode Island, that was lunch.
As our family grew, the kids became quite fond of them as well.

It was the go-to lunch box sandwich and after school snack.
When you didn’t know what to eat a Fluffernutter was the answer.

Over time, I perfected the art of the perfect Fluffernutter.

Spread creamy peanut butter on one piece of the fluffiest white sandwich bread you can find.
Spread an equal amount of marshmallow fluff on another slice.
Smoosh them together and voila!

While it might not be the healthiest peanut butter sandwich out there, I consider Fluffernutters a comfort food well worth the occasional indulgence.

Some variations of Fluffernutters include bananas, jam or chocolate spreads.

Me?
I prefer it in its purest form: sweet, simple and delicious.

Fluffernutter Recipes

You can also make Fluffernutter desserts!
These Fluffernutter Bites are a combination of a s’more and a peanut butter marshmallow fluff sandwich. Dip them in chocolate and you’ve got a fun and tasty treat.

Love dessert dips? Fluffernutter Dip can be enjoyed with animal crackers, fruit, or your favorite cookies. It will be yummy addition to a baby or bridal shower dessert table.

Instead of your typical sandwich, make some Fluffernutter Cookies. Surprise the ones you love with some peanut butter cookies filled with their favorite marshmallow fluff.

What kind of Marshmallow Fluff is best?

To make the best Fluffernutter, it’s essential to use true Marshmallow Fluff.
You can’t miss the iconic blue label and red lid, usually found in the peanut butter aisle of your grocery store.

There are other brands of marshmallow creme available but none can compare to the original.
PLEASE trust me on this and get the good stuff!

When it comes to the peanut butter, I stick with the classic shelf-stable variety like Jiff or Skippy.
Natural peanut butter is wonderful in many dishes but when it comes to Fluffernutters, I prefer the kind of peanut butter I craved as a kid.

With that in mind, feel free to use natural style peanut butter if you simply must.
You can even use wheat bread if that’s a deal breaker.
(Although in some New England states, that might actually be considered a crime, but I won’t tell.)

Seriously though, it’s the Marshmallow Fluff that’s non-negotiable!

What can I use if I can’t find Marshmallow Fluff where I live?

I have the solution!
Jamie over at Love Bakes Good Cakes has a recipe for it.
That way, you can make your own at home and still make Fluffernutter Sandwiches for your family.

What can I use Marshmallow Fluff for?

Marshmallow Fluff is absolutely delicious on top of Chocolate Covered Cherry Hot Chocolate.
You can also make it to use fudge.

I’ll confess though, there are definitely some days when I’ll just take a spoon and eat it right out of the jar!

Peanut Butter Recipes

Peanut butter sandwiches aren’t the only way to get your peanut butter fix, of course.

These days, most of the peanut butter I consume is in cookie form. These 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies have a classic criss-cross shape just like the ones you remember eating as a kid. Bonus: they’re ready in just 13 minutes.

Want more marshmallow and peanut butter treats? These PB & Fluff Brownies are like a Fluffernutter in brownie form. Welcome to heaven.

Once you’ve recovered from the brownie indulgence, No Bake Peanut Butter S’Mores Cookies are the perfect way to get your summertime s’mores fix. You don’t even have to turn on the oven, let alone light a camp fire!

At breakfast time, harken back to another childhood favorite with this Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast Casserole. You can even prep it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when you wake up. That’s my idea of an ideal breakfast recipe.

For even more peanut butter goodness, give these favorites a try:

• Peanut Butter Chocolate Lava Cake
• Peanut Butter Upside-Down Banana Cake
• Chocolate Peanut Butter Dream Bars
• Peanut Butter Crinkle Cookies
• Reese’s Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats
• Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Filled Cupcakes
