Regrowing Produce

by

3

I saw this on Pinterest but didn’t really believe it… Until I tried it!!!

I grocery shop every week and spend the majority of the budget in the produce department.

Romain lettuce usually makes my list every other week during the winter months. Summer time we go through salad like crazy so it is a lot more than that.

Green Onions make the grocery list every 2-3 weeks.

It was only recently that I found out I was wasting money! Continue reading →

Fajita Seasoning Mix

So I made chicken fajitas last night for dinner.
I was searching the Internet for a great seasoning mix to use on the chicken. I looked at probably 5 or 6 different recipes and read the reviews. From the reviews I took what liked from each recipe and combined it into 1.

This was amazing! I’m definitely keeping this around.

I find myself going in waves with using my crock pot. We are all busy but sometimes I feel like our schedule is over packed not just for a day but for a week or more at a time. My kids also like to take these times to get sick, which is a whole other ball game.

I always keep a couple of pork tenderloin roasts in our deep freezer. Pork is a great canvas for any flavor you like.

Here is one for you. It is a great comfort, fall apart tender, family meal.

Macaroons

Moist, chewy and naturally gluten free!
My recipe also happens to be dairy free as well!

I have a sweet tooth. Even when I’m dieting and losing weight every night after I put the kids to bed I find myself looking for something sweet.
Just because you have dietary restrictions or are trying to lose weight doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in sweets.

It is all about portion control.
I actually have these little Gerber bowls that I put my kids baby food in that help me control the size of my desserts.

These macaroons are so simple- it only takes a few ingredients.

Crock Pot -Santa Fe Chicken

Days like today I’m grateful for my crock pot.

My daughter wasn’t feeling well and just wanted to cuddle all day and my son had a late doctors appointment. I knew there was no way I was going to be able to cook dinner.
Crock Pot dinners are great. Throw ingredients in early in the morning and sit down to a great dinner in the evening.

I found this recipe for Santa Fe Chicken in the crock pot on Pinterest and it was terrible! The recipe called for too much liquid, way too long cooking time and it was bland. So I took the basic idea and made it something yummy that anyone would love to sit down to.

So here is MY Santa Fe Chicken

Buffalo Dip

Everyone has had buffalo Chicken Dip right? It is amazing. I make it all the time for parties.
At home I do it in my crock pot so it stays warm as long as I want. If I’m taking it somewhere I put it in baking dish so I don’t have to worry about lugging the crock-pot and finding a place to plug it in.

Over the years I have tweaked the recipe here and there and my recipe is now Gluten Free.
This past weekend I was at a friends house for a get together and she did a new take on the buffalo dip that I had never thought of and it was amazing!!!

Today we are headed over to my parents for dinner with my brother and his girlfriend. I thought I would try my recipe with the new twist I tried at the get together this past weekend.

Here is what you need- Continue reading →
