Red Potatoes with Bell Pepper & Onion

Pin It
A few weeks ago I was visiting my cousins and they were making the most delicious smelling breakfast potatoes and if I hadn't just eaten my own breakfast I would have gladly pulled out a fork and dug in!

So when I got home I decided to make some for my family and they were DEE-lish!

You KNOW how much I LOVE potatoes and I can't pass up a new way of making them to save my life.

I love a variety of foods for breakfast and when I make eggs, bacon, & toast I always have to make some sort of potato.

These are totally my new go-to potato for breakfast!

Chili Colorado Burritos

Pin It
If you don't know by now we LOVE Mexican food around here and could very well eat it every day, well most of us anyway.

I've been dying to try these Chili Colorado Burritos and have seen many variations all over blogland.

These reminded me of a smothered burrito I've seen at restaurants and I'm always in the market for new creations.

This is also a crock pot meal (mostly), which is perfect this time of year, and will be waiting for you to put together when you get home from work or errands.  Then a quick few minutes of prep and these bundles of deliciousness are ready to eat.

Need a quick and easy treat for Halloween?

These are perfect for classroom treats, Teachers gifts, kids parties, or even an office party.

I made these last week just to see how they would turn out and they were fun to make and delicious!

Who doesn't love an Oreo?  How about a white chocolate dipped Oreo?

Caramel Chocolitas

Do you buy all the holiday magazines (not to mention regular everyday ones) like I do?

I can't make it out of Target or the grocery store this time of year without a least one or two new holiday cooking magazines in my hot little hands, lol.

My favorite are the Better Homes & Gardens ones and I probably have at least 25 at home at any given moment.  I have all the special ones like ~ Chicken, Mexican, Italian, Cakes, Bars, Brownies, etc.

I always go through them when I first get home and mark all the pages of all the wonderful new recipes I'm going to try.

And then they go to the magazine waiting area and some are never seen or heard from again! lol But I'm trying to get better!

Egg Salad Croissant Sandwich with Bacon

Pin It
Egg Salad is one of my hubby's favorite sandwiches and last week I kicked it up a notch with some bacon and a croissant.  Mmmm mmm.

This is a super simple way to change up the daily lunch scene at your house and I find that most people love egg salad, even little kids.

Perfectly Hard Boiled Eggs

Pin It
Today's post isn't a fancy dessert or a five course dinner; it's about the things I sometimes take for granted that people know how to do.  Some of the basics my mom taught me when I was growing up.

Like how to make rice cooked in a pan on the stove not in a fancy rice cooker.  And I still make rice on the stove to this day.  It's super easy!

Another easy thing to make is hard boiled eggs.  I've seen these made all kinds of ways; latest is baked in the oven, who knew you could do that.
