Chicken Ranch Pizza Braid

 Chicken Ranch Pizza Braid

Chicken Ranch Pizza Braid

This is recipe that I created for my kids. It's a favorite!
I make Hidden Valley Ranch dressing and use chicken from my freezer, which I’ve pre-cooked and frozen.
If time is short, you could use canned chicken, bottled dressing, pre-cooked bacon and  just make a regular pizza by spreading the ingredients over the entire pizza dough in the given order and eliminating the braiding.

1 can Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough
2 cups chopped chicken
1 cup ranch salad dressing
4 - 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 - 1 ½ cups shredded pizza blend cheese
pizza sauce and/or additional ranch dressing
Olive oil, Herbed Butter, or Garlic Butter for brush dough (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Unroll dough and shape into a rectangle.
Combine chicken and ranch dressing.
Spread chicken mixture down middle of dough.
Sprinkle with bacon.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut 8 even slits from the filling out to the edge of the dough.
Start at one end and criss-cross the dough strips, tucking the last strip beneath the braid. 
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with a bit of Herbed Butter or olive oil. Return to oven for another 10 minutes, or until done.
Serve with pizza sauce and/or additional ranch dressing.

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T. Thompson from American Profile "I am 86 years old and have been cooking since I was 9. This recipe has been in my family for many years.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s
