    I made this today. Simple, easy, and didn’t take long. Just subbed breaded chicken strips with grilled chicken strips. This will be added to my list of go-to recipes in the future!

      To be honest, I only figure calories on healthier dishes.

      Is the tortellini cooked first or put in the pan frozen with the rest of the ingredients?

“Trashed” Wings

"Trashed Wings" originated in St. Louis, MO and I had them for the first time last summer. Made them at home less than a week after that and now they are a semi regular menu item around our house. They are easy to make, here is how you do it! Note: They are called "trashed" wings bc your oil will be trashed after making them due to cooking the already dipped in buffalo sauce.
