Oh my! English Muffin Goodness!!
I was craving english muffins, but I didn’t want to go to the grocery store (because I spend way too much when I go shopping…I know, it’s bad). So, I decided to make them. And oh boy am I glad I made them. Jon and I are always on the look out for really good english muffins. Well, we definitely don’t have to look any longer. These were easy to make and so good to eat. You can find the recipe...

Ok…so not the best picture in the world, but I promise you this cake was the BOMB.COM!! lol! I LOVE Texas Sheet Cake. It takes me back to living in Chicago with Teri and the Sears familia. I think it was the first time I’d ever had it. Anyhow, those were the days. I think between the three of us we put that entire cake away within 2 days. lol! What heffers! heehee.

Read MoreProject365-Day 39…Cupcake Pops
Friday night I got together with a group of my girlfriends from work. We played Mad Gab and had some yummy snacks. I have been dying for an excuse to make cupcake pops (as photographed above) since I saw them posted on Bakerella.com. And then I saw that she had a party at the Pioneer Womans and I knew I had to give in (heehee) and make these! I’ll be honest…I didn’t totally love the flavor of the cake and frosting when I first made it, but I tried it the next day and it tasted a lot better. In the future I’ll definitely not use the entire can of frosting and I want to try new flavors. The girls liked them so I guess that’s all that mattered! It was really easy and fun to make too! Enjoy! Cupcake Pops 1 Box Cake Mix (Any...

Read MoreChili Bake
I was so excited to make this recipe I found on everydayfoodstorage.net. If you haven’t been to that site you really should. They have great recipes and ideas on what to do with your food storage. Anyhow, I finally made this tonight and I thought it was ok. Jon really liked it. The next time I make this I’m not going to make it as a caserole. I think eating it more of like a taco salad would be better. But you decide! Here’s the recipe. Enjoy! Chili Bake 1 lb. Ground Beef ¼ cup Chopped Onion 1 can (16 oz.) Kidney Beans, Drained 1 can (15 oz.) Tomato Sauce (I used a can of crushed tomaoes) 1 envelope Taco Seasoning mix 1/4 cup Dehydrated Onions (I used fresh onions) 1 can of Corn, Drained 1 C. (4 oz.)

Read MoreFried Chicken!!
I am currently on my “summer” break from my babies and I miss work so much. With that said I am unemployed for three months so money is going to be a little tight. Jon and I have been trying to go the last two weeks without spending money. So I’ve had to come up with some crazy dinner ideas. One night I made a stir fry with frozen vegetables, ramen, onions and garlic. I knew as I was creating it that he would eat it, but he wouldn’t really enjoy it. When he got home I gave him the option to eat it or make his own dinner. He made his own dinner. ANYHOW, when I made this chicken I was hoping it wouldn’t be a bomb like the stir fry. And it wasn’t thank goodness! It actually turned out to be DELICIOUS!! I totally redeemed...
