(Not So...) Wednesday: Super Toilet

If there was any doubt that it’s the little things in life that make me happy here is the proof. This is probably the “coolest” toilet I have ever seen. Yes, I call it a super toilet! I was at Mystic Lake Casino a few weeks ago outside of Minneapolis when I stubble upon this awesome invention. This is the most sanitary toilet I have ever seen in my life. With...

Zesty Bean Dip ("Like" Frito Lay) 52 calories a serving!

This recipe is very much "Like" Frito Lay Bean Dip if I didn’t know better I would swear it was the exact recipe. The only difference I see is that this dip is smoother whereas the Lay’s dip is much thicker and harder to dip. I love this recipe! It’s simply fantastic. I decided I would take my dip to the true bean dip critic … my Mom! Her favorite bean dip is Frito Lay...

Meatball Sub Casserole

We loved this recipe. One of our guest even said wow this taste like a meatball sub. In my head I went Duh! I told you it was a meatball sub casserole lol OK whatever. This recipe really was delicious! We all loved it and it was super-super easy and painless! *My only complaint is that the bread on the bottom turned to rubber bread. Next time I am planning on taking...

Taco Hummus! Ole'

This recipe is actually a mistake. I started off making two different recipes and finished with a bang. When I realized I had added taco seasoning to my hummus recipe instead of paprika I thought I was in big trouble. This is what happens when you are making too many recipes at one time. Mini Cups are great for dipping and prevents double dipping! I ran to my laptop...

French Onion Dip (Guy Fieri)

I made this recipe for a get together we were invited to. Everyone was asked to bring, snacks, appetizers, finger foods, or dips. I chose this dip and I am sure happy I did. One great thing about this recipe is it’s something you can make ahead of time. The longer it sets the better. I made it on Saturday and it was ready to go on Monday with just a quick stir and...

Salsa Chicken Casserole (Low Calorie)

This recipe is delicious! On my! One thing I really love about it is the fact that you can do so much with it. You could make it a speedy recipe by precooking the rice, and the chicken (even using leftover chicken), then mixing everything together and baking. You could also change out the spices, and the spiciness of the salsa. I think I would even consider shredding...

Southwestern Chopped Salad with Cilantro Dressing

This is a great salad recipe with an incredibly tasty dressing. The color is beautiful but not something you associate with eating. My husband actually asked me what was wrong with the salad. The flavor is great and the calories are low too. You can’t ask for much more than that. I didn’t think I would be able to get anyone to eat this salad but everyone...

Parmesan Zucchini Sticks

This is a great recipe especially if you like zucchini. For the zucchini haters in my house the recipe was not high on their list as expected. The mistake I made with this recipe was not using shredded parmesan cheese but rather using the Kraft parmesan in a jar. Yes big mistake! I have no doubt that would have been a huge improvement. The group parmesan cheese...
