I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! This is such a fun time of year filled with family, friends, and delicious food. It’s hard for me to stay in my routine with the kids because I would rather be ice skating, decorating cookies, and wrapping gifts! Pretty much anything over carpool, sports practice, and school! Anyone else feel the pull of the holidays over real life?

I’m pretty excited for weeknight meals that are so cozy and delicious! Who wouldn’t want to come home to a comforting bowl of Lentil Soup, a tasty BBQ Chicken Sandwich, a perfect bowl of Pasta Carbonara, and our favorite Turkey Burgers? Mom Tip: I make extra turkey patties for the weekend. They make great snacks on-the-go!

Enjoy your week and this special time of year.

This BBQ Chicken Sandwich is what football tastes like at my house. It’s insanely good, easy to pull together, and always a crowd pleaser. I’m pretty sure there is nothing better than a lazy day of football with family, friends, and a huge pot of BBQ Chicken ready to go!

We don’t entertain with fancy, sit down dinners at my house. Instead, we have families over for what I call “event television.” Think football games, awards shows, and finales of shows like Survivor. It is super low key entertaining with tons of food and kids running around. The show is basically an excuse to get together.

See the splatter on the counter? Just keeping it real….bbqchickpic5

Clearly, I still didn’t see the splatter.

This recipe is adapted from The Pioneer Woman. I’ve used it for years and it’s always a winner. This isn’t labor intensive, has 4 main ingredients, and is nothing short of awesome. It takes about an hour and a half in the oven but so worth it!

I love this moment. The chicken, the sauce, the Hawaiian Roll, the pickles…..

I serve these sandwiches on Hawaiian Rolls with pickles, cole slaw, a big pot of baked beans, potato chips, and sweet potato fries.

Enjoy!
