"Fancy" Ham and Cheese Sliders

This was a really fun meal for the family. It was quick and easy, and relatively inexpensive. Everyone likes sliders and finger food. These would be great to serve at a get together or a party. This is also a great meal for something for a midweek meal when you need something fast. I have seen a lot of recipe on the web that is similar to this one that uses...

Crockpot Sesame Chicken?

Although this recipe is good it’s not exactly what I would call sesame chicken. At least it’s not sesame chicken in the sense that I am accustom to it. This reminds me more of a bourbon chicken they would sell in the mall food court. Everyone really loved this recipe, but if you are looking for a traditional sesame chicken keep looking. I would make this again but I...

Burger King Home Delivery.... What Do You Think?

I was reading online last night that the Burger Kings in the Washington DC and Maryland area are doing a test market for Burger King home delivery. They are guaranteeing to get your food to you hot and your fries nice and crispy! I would love to see if that actually happens. I can’t get them home crispy when I got get them myself. I hate soggy fries. We have pizza...

BLT Salad

I LOVED this salad! It’s simply delicious! If you don’t like tomatoes you will probably not like this recipe, but it’s worth a shot regardless! The dressing is tomato based and the salad contains a lot of tomato. I love tomato so I was all about this recipe, my husband on the other hand, wasn’t a fan but he doesn’t like tomatoes. I think I could eat this every day for...

Dr. Oz’s Belly-Blasting New Year’s Soup (86 Calories)

My husband and I both loved this soup, but I must admit it was a little on the spicy side even for me. The chili powder is super strong in this recipe! Next time I make this I would probably only add one tablespoon of chili powder. It can be a little chocking. If you don’t like spicy, then this is not a recipe for you unless you tweak it a bit. What I loved about this...

"Like" Honey Baked Ham

This is now the third time I have made this ham and I must say it’s fantastic!! It’s super simple to make and I just love it. Buying a Honey Baked Ham is way out of our budget so the next best thing is to make it myself! This is a great recipe and if you check out the original source you will see a video on how to make it yourself and it’s super simple! Ingredients: 1...

Jalapeno Cream Cheese Pinwheel Poppers

As you can see from my picture I didn’t do a very good job of rolling my pinwheels. I was running out of time. My guest were about to start arriving and needed to move quickly. These turned out fantastic, but they were super-hot. I think next time I would cut the amount of jalapenos in half. If you like spicy hot then you will love the recipe just the way it is! Ingredients: 1 ...

Baked Crab Rangoon

I love this recipe, but in all honestly I per them to be fried rather than baked. I know baked is a much better choice, but there is something about fried rangoon that just taste amazing! Ingredients: 1/8 tsp. garlic salt 1/8 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 14 won ton wrappers 1 small green onion 4 oz. (imitation) crab 3 oz. cream cheese Directions: 1. In...

Hot Bacon Cheese Dip

This is a really great dip and believe me it was a hit with my guest. My only complaint is that once it baked there was a huge pool of oil from the cheese floating on top. Maybe if I had baked it in a bread bowl it might have helped to absorbed some of the oil up making a better presentation. This would even be a great baked potato topper or served on top on...

Jalapeno Popper Dip

If I told you I loved this recipe it would be an understatement. This dip calls my name at night while it was in the refrigerator. I could eat it hot or ice cold right out of the refrigerator. It’s insane! I did use 4 oz. of jalapenos but next time I would use 2 oz. of the regular and 2 oz. of the mild to keep the spice level down. If you like it hot...

Brussels Sprouts & Cauliflower Gratin

I really loved this recipe! My only beef with it is that you can’t really taste the cauliflower because the Brussels sprouts really over power the dish. If you don’t like sprouts you will NOT like this recipe. I happen to love sprouts, but even when we were finishing up the left overs a few days later I thought the sprouts were a little stronger than I like. The bacon takes...

Cheater... Cheater... Stuffing!

I absolutely loved this recipe! It’s simple fantastic! Don’t get me wrong it’s nothing fancy, but that’s what I like about it. I already like Stovetop Stuffing, but this takes Stovetop and fancy’s it up! After it was made no one had a clue that the majority of the recipe came out of a box! Frugal, easy, and fantastic… what more could you ask for? Ingredients: 1...

Chive & Onion Hash Brown Potatoes

This is a really great side dish! It’s very easy to put together and bakes up nicely. The flavor is wonderful. In truth you could use any of the flavored cream cheese. I think the vegetable flavored or garlic flavored would be fantastic also. Ingredients: 3/4 cup half-and-half cream 1/2 cup spreadable chive and onion cream cheese 1 tablespoons dried minced...
