Why Luke Bryan Should Enter the Free Country Sing Off Contest

BLuke = the greatest country bromance of all time.

What’s your go-to song to sing in the shower? Come on, everyone has one. Luke Bryan definitely has one, and when he explains it to Blake Shelton, it makes complete sense. Luke was hanging out with Blake for Blake’s opening of his new live music hall, The Doghouse, in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.

They interviewed each other for ET Canada, and one of their questions was, “What is the song that you sing in the shower?” While Blake couldn’t remember, Luke without hesitation said, “‘The Star Spangled Banner‘… You can never have enough practice singing ‘The Star Spangled Banner.'” Well put. Check out the full video below:

 

{Katie’s Kitchen} Baked Ham and Cheese Sliders

I absolutely love making these when I know we are having company over. They’re delicious and easy to make a lot at the same time. I also take this recipe to the beach with us, it is an easy lunch that is quick to make for the entire family. Kids and adults both love these!!

…and who doesn’t love anything on Hawaiian rolls?!

Grab a 9×13 pan and a large pack of rolls. Take a bread knife and cut the rolls in half horizontally, place the bottoms in the pan. Place ham on the bread, I normally do 2 slices, then add swiss cheese. The cheese you may have to cut into smaller squares to fit on the sandwiches better. Then, place the tops of the rolls back on the sandwiches.

In a sauce pan on the stove, mix butter, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and poppy seeds, Stir until all of the butter is melted then brush over the top of the sandwiches.

Note**They’re even better if you cover and let them sit in the fridge overnight.

Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees and cook for 15 minutes or until the cheese melts. Enjoy!

  1. 2-12 packs of Hawaiian Rolls (Small dinner rolls)
  2. 1 1/2 lbs. of Virginia ham
  3. 12+ slices of swiss cheese
  4. 1 stick of butter (real butter)
  5. 2 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  6. 1 tsp. garlic powder
  7. 1 tsp. onion powder
  8. 1 tsp. poppy seeds

Thomas Rhett’s New Album Release

Today is a big day for Thomas Rhett and family! His new album, Center Point Road is out now and filled with songs about Thomas and Lauren’s long time love story, their beautiful babies and so much more. They’ve quickly become my favorite country music couple because they’re just so normal! They prove that high school sweethearts can make it through fame and everything in between. Check out Lauren’s sweet celebratory shout out for his new album release. Spoiler: The second clip he forgets the lyrics and everyone melts.

Over 11 years ago in high school he was STILL just the CUTEST (especially when he forgot the lines-heart in a PUDDLE ((2nd clip)) ??????) most talented and most resilient guy I knew. I was so beyond proud of him as one of his best friends? He’s clearly always been a natural entertainer and the crowd has always loved him hahah ? Now I get to be his wife and have a front row seat to it all! I’m still just so proud of you honey!! Even MORE proud of you and who you are and so proud of this super personal, super talented, super AWESOME new album, Center Point Road?. It’s such a nostalgic album for me too because I got to live so much of it with you? Not to mention all the songs written about our family and life today?? What a cool life we get to do together! So thankful 🙂 Happy album release babe!!! I love you ?? **thanks @calteri for sending me this video-I’m so glad you still have it!! #CenterPointRoad

{Katie’s Kitchen} Chicken Pesto

This is such an easy delicious dinner, you’ll be wondering why you never thought to make it before!

It’s a staple in our weekly dinner rotation because it’s so good and juicy. If you have a favorite brand of pesto use it! I normally get the pesto from Costco because I like the flavor the best.

This easy dish starts out with thin chicken breasts laid out in a glass baking dish. Then, you spread pesto on each chicken breast and put into the oven (I normally pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees, for 25 mins.)

Slice tomato and get your mozzarella or Parmesan cheese on stand-by. Once the timer goes off, take our the chicken, lay your tomato slices on top and then sprinkle cheese over the tomatoes…as little or much as you want. Put the dish back into the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese and you’re done!!

I normally make spaghetti pasta or bow ties to have on the side. I will toss the pasta with pesto and sprinkle parmesan cheese, too.

 

Ingredients

  1. 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  2. mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup)
  3. Tomato sliced thinkly
  4. Pesto (about 1 cup)
