When you hear the word Box Combo, what comes to mind? For me it’s Raising Canes. I love Raising Canes. For those who don’t know Raising Canes originated in Baton Rouge, LA. Now I have to say, Canes is better in Louisiana than here in Texas. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking with it.
Though I love Canes, I don’t eat it often. One day, I was craving it and decided to make my own version at home. This meal was a hit with the entire family. Much cheaper than picking this up at Raising Canes.

A popular game day delight is Buffalo chicken wings. Typically fried wings served with french fries, celery and carrots. Well I decided to switch up our normal game day buffalo chicken wings meal with a healthier version, my Buffalo Chicken salad. This salad was one of my favorite salads that I have prepared in a long time. So easy and the perfect week day meal that can be prepped ahead of time with the exception of the chicken. This salad was tasty, filled with lots of textures and delicious well-balanced flavors. So good. A healthy meal for any day of the week!

Fall is right around the corner. One of my favorite things about Fall is eating soup. I love Soup Season. This simple 20 minute soup was so good.
Created this recipe around a brand new product that I found by Campbell’s Soup, Spicy Buffalo Style Cream of Chicken. Beware it is spicy. I topped it with some the NEW sargento red pepper cheese. Yum.
Only a few ingredients will make a delicious soup. Serve with crackers.
