I’m excited to bring a new website feature to you guys. Barry set it up, so give him a Woot! Woot! I know some of you struggle with your weekly meal plan…….because you tell me about it. 🙂 I make mine each week for us, so I wondered why I couldn’t just share it with you all. Maybe it will give you some ideas or maybe it will just help you figure out how to do it. I asked if you would be interested in seeing it and I got a resounding YES! Or maybe you were just bored and thought it sounded good. Anyway, I did it…..well, Barry did it. We’re married – we both did it. What’s his is mine, and what’s mine is mine. [Read more…] |
Easy Cinnamon Rolls
***UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits. (7/10/11) I found myself with an overabundance of crescent rolls that I needed to get rid of. I also found myself with a craving for cinnamon rolls. How convenient! I love when stuff like that happens. These little gems are so quick you’ll be totally amazed. Your kids will think you hung the moon when you tell them you MADE cinnamon rolls instead of BAKED them. Well, you baked them too. Hmmm. Nevermind. Homemade cinnamon rolls blow these out of the water, but these are still very tasty and good for a quick breakfast. Maybe I’ll tackle homemade cinnamon rolls in another post. 🙂 [Read more…] |
Pancake Mix Muffins
*UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits.(7/10/11)
If you stockpile, you MIGHT find yourself with an overabundance of pancake mix. Yes, it’s true. Sometimes you cannot eat enough pancakes to keep your stock from running over. And let me tell ya, we eat a LOT of pancakes. So, I was thinking……what can I do with all this pancake mix? Well, surely to goodness if I can make pancakes from muffin mix I can make muffins from pancake mix…….right? Yes! I am here to offer tons of options for you. I am Mommy – hear me ROAR! Wow, that sounded a little scary. Ignore that part. Let’s make muffin tops – in a GOOD way! And you might want to put your sweatpants on. [Read more…] |
Muffin Mix Pancakes
*UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits.(7/10/11) Have you made pancakes from muffin mix before? If not, you’ve really been missing out…..if so, pretend you haven’t and be amazed anyway. Pancakes made from muffin mix are really quick and easy. And the flavor possibilities – oh my!!!! You could have Strawberry Pancakes, Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Honey Bran Pancakes, or Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes, and on and on and on. Or, you could make this version – Blueberry Cheesecake Pancakes. I’m not lying when I tell you that Barry made “yum yum” noises all the way through his plate….and Annie cried when hers were gone. Yes, they are THAT good. They can make a grown man weep. Let’s make some flap jacks! [Read more…] |
Pantry Salsa
It’s no big surprise to anyone that I’m in love with Trigger’s Salsa. Seriously, it’s the best salsa I’ve ever put in my mouth……but here’s the kicker – I don’t like to share. Take your hands off my salsa or I might bite you. So, sometimes I need salsa for a recipe or to serve to someone other than myself. I sure ain’t gonna give them my Trigger’s. They can get their own at Walgreens or Food City. When that’s the case, I make this – Pantry Salsa. It’s a Taste of Home recipe and I’ve been making it for years. It’s Barry’s favorite salsa…..tastes just like what they serve at restaurants – and it’s CHEAP! So, let’s make some and make our families happy…..while we hide our Trigger’s behind the pickled pigs feet so no one can find it. [Read more…] |
Grape Salad
***UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits. (7/10/11) Barry loves Grape Salad……loves it. Annie loves grapes in general. Mommy doesn’t love grapes. Nope. I think I’ll pass. Thank you anyway. I make this for Barry though because I love the man – he fixes my mess-ups (like accidentally dropping a whole potato in the garbage disposal) and he deals with my mood swings. He deserves a medal of honor…..and Grape Salad galore. Let’s make it! [Read more…] |
Spicy Crunchy Chickpeas
I saw this recipe in All You magazine and it reminded me that I really liked these. It had been a long while since I had made them, so I decided to try again. I thought it would make a good tutorial because they’re quick and easy. I’m always looking for good, nutritious snacks for Annie so I thought this might be good – and boy, was I right! Good grief. I couldn’t feed them to her fast enough……and when I finally cut her off, she sat in her chair and cried like it was the end of the world. So, if you need a good snack for your kids, this might fit the bill. They are a little bit messy because of the spices, but I just consider it a little extra character to add to Annie’s face and my kitchen floor. [Read more…] |
Black Bean Burgers – Take Two
I have a Black Bean Burger recipe on this site already…and I almost deleted it. Why? A Facebook friend posted this lovely recipe and I had to try it. Now, Barry and I don’t eat veggie burgers because they’re good for you. Yes, they are good for you….but we just like them. We are not vegetarians. We love pigs. So, I tried this new recipe and it was DIVINE! I told Barry I was going to delete my old one because it was inferior to this masterpiece. He said no. So, I didn’t. This new burger is full of cilantro, so if you don’t care for that (weirdo!) then you’ll want to stick with my other recipe. Let’s get healthy…..or get gas…..or maybe both, who knows. [Read more…] |
Fruit on the Bottom Baked Oatmeal
******We’ve adapted this recipe to fit our Whole Food’s lifestyle by using rolled oats, sucanat, and leaving out the chocolate chips.********* One of the most popular recipes on this site is my Baked Oatmeal. It’s a glorious recipe all on its own……but I got to thinking. Strange things happen when I think. I lay in bed at night and think about cooking while I’m falling asleep. Sometimes that ends badly…..especially if I dream about candy all night long because then I wake up sick as a dog. True story. But sometimes it ends happily, which is what happened here. You know how much I love apples, hence the recipes for Apple Crowns and Apple Pie Muffins and several others which shall remain nameless at this time. So, I wanted to pair apples and Baked Oatmeal together. You’re gonna love me. [Read more…] |
Tuna Melts
Okay, I realize that most people shudder when they think of tuna……..I, on the other hand, LOVE tuna. My mom used to make tuna salad for me all the time when I was growing up, so I just love it. When the doctor first told me I could feed Annie fish, I immediately came home and fixed tuna for lunch. Bingo. She loved it too! Like mother, like daughter – except for that whole hard-headed part. I have NO IDEA where she gets that one. Tuna is quick and versatile. You can make a lot of quick dishes using it, so it obviously fits in with this week’s theme. Add that it’s Fishy Friday in the Myers household and this was an obvious choice. Before you write it off, just make it and try it…….you might surprise yourself. Cheese covers a multitude of sins. And if you hate it, just smother it in ketchup. Problem solved. [Read more…] |
