New November Recipes

Crumb Apple Crisp  

This recipe called for 14 apples! or 11 Cups!! I don't know about you but I wasn't about to peel 14 apples. I bought 7 Granny Smith, ended up peeling them and only used 5. 5 was plenty! My favorite part is of course the crumb part. :]

New October Recipes

This month we made:

Banana Bread

This bread was GOOD! I will definitely make this over and over in my lifetime! 

I even had a little helper this time...

New September Recipes

Cheesy Potato Fries

These are delicious! I will make them whenever I'm craving fries from Mickey D's. Better for you in a way. I however will use half the sauce next time since my husband and I are the only ones who will eat it. The sauce by the way is a blend I'd never thought of before although, it tastes like a sauce I've had before at a restaurant. Can't remember the name though. :(

Pancake Squares

These are fun to make if you don't want to stand over a stove and pour mix for everyone you're trying to cook for. However, they're not as sweet as what I'm used to. Probably a good thing! I'm used to buying the prepackaged stuff so we'll see... Maybe add some brown sugar or something next time.

Homemade Pizza Rolls
These are definitely going on the Favorites list! They're so good! I'd recommend using flour on the surface of your cutting board. It helped tremendously!!

Cheese Shells n' Broccoli

I LOVE me some cheesy shells! I can't get enough of Velveeta shells so I wanted to try this hoping it'd be a healthier alternative to the box kind. No preservatives or anything. Well, this will not be made in my house again. Not that it wasn't good... for my husband but I did not like the graininess of the texture! ICK! Not sure if that's normal and it doesn't look like it in the pic but just a heads up!

New August Recipes

White Cheese Chicken Lasagna
My Love really liked this, however I had a harder time eating it. Just not used to it over regular lasagna and trying to get used to spinach.

Caramel Cheesecake Apple Dip
If I'm going to have desert I want it to be somewhat healthy. :] This was A-MAZING!

Crowd-Pleasing Taco Salad
This is good! Could do without the Oregano though I think. The Taco sauce I used:

Chicken Rollups #2
These were INCREDIBLE! Definitely going on our Favorites list!

Cheesy Chicken and Rice Bake
This was really good. However, needs a little flavor... Maybe some chili powder, cayenne pepper, or the like.

3-2-1 Funfetti Cake Batter Dip
The boys didn't care too much for the dip. They just ate the cookies. The Hubs and I had to eat it. :] It tasted alright. Not too bad, actually.

Buffalo Chicken Garbage Bread (Pizza)
This was a bit spicy for me at first. However, it was good. The Hubs kept saying so. :]] Just a note for the cooking, I preheated our oven at 400 and cooked it for 20 min. It came out done and not overcooked.

Garlicky Mashed Potatoes
These tasted a little bland. Not sure if it's just because I'm not used to eating veggies or if it possibly could have been because I didn't use the 1/4-1/2 cup heavy cream or the 3 tablespoons buttermilk. Next time I'll try those two things. I just used 2% milk.

New July Recipes

I want to start trying a new recipes. About 4 a month.
I found this these recipes via Pinterest.

Peanut Butter Cereal Treats

This is the recipe I chose this week. My Love doesn't like Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch so he didn't like this too much and the boys haven't wanted to try it out yet. Let's hope someone likes it besides me!

Easy Pizza Casserole

This was a hit with everyone except D. He has a thing for melted cheese. He hardly even eats pizza. (He just eats the crust) T even ate it. Warning: This recipe is a double batch. I froze the other half for another time.

Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders

These didn't last long in our house! They were that good. Again D doesn't like melted cheese so I made him some prior to cooking these. He liked them.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

These didn't turn out right granted it was my first time with this recipe. Not sure, I followed the directions but think there may possibly be a typo? It just came out way too pasty, granulated, and dry. I added more milk but added too much so then they were runny. The boys didn't like them and I don't blame them. Lol I'll give it another shot but mess with the milk measurements some more.
