Guacamole Burgers

Pin It
I love a good homemade burger and I've been wanting to try out different flavors.

I figured with my love of Mexican food I couldn't go wrong with a burger with all the great flavors of Mexican food wrapped up in a soft bun.

In the past I have made Beef & Cheddar Sliders, Aloha Burgers, and Jack Daniels BBQ Bacon Burgers and while I consider all of these burgers amazing, I think my favorite so far are these Guacamole Burgers.

If you love Mexican food like I do, you'll love the combination of Mexican flavors and good old American Burger.

Give these a try and let me know what you think!

Berry Cheesy Crescents

Pin It
A couple of weeks ago I went to Bingo with some friends...No I didn't win...Again!

But I did come away with an idea for a new treat.  Thanks to Becca for the inspiration for these delicious crescents.  And really, what could be better than crescent rolls filled with cream cheese and fruit?

This is a super simple and fast recipe and if you're like me you will likely have all the ingredients on hand at any given time.

Sloppy Joe Cornbread Skillet

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Manwich for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I don't know how or why but life sure seems a lot more hectic these days than when my kids were little.

Do you ever get the feeling like time just flies by without you noticing it?  I sure do. And more so lately then ever before.

I find myself in the kitchen around 3:30 frantically looking for something to cook for dinner because I forgot to defrost something in the morning.

I found the solution to my problem this past weekend and you'll definitely want to give it a try too.

Have you ever had Sloppy Joes?

This wasn't something I was very familiar with because I don't remember my mom making them growing up so in turn I never made them for my kids.

But the hubby was so excited when he saw the cans of Manwich sitting on the counter because he remembers having Sloppy Joes when he was growing up and he loves them.

Who remembers these?

I couldn't believe the other day when I asked my hubby about them, that he had never heard of them.

I don't remember my mom ever making these for breakfast but I do remember hearing about them.

I decided I wanted something quick but still filling for breakfast a few days ago so I thought why not?

Authentic Mexican Shredded Beef

Pin It
We are split in our house on how to make authentic tacos and burritos.

My hubby likes ground beef (might just be a man thing) and I like shredded beef.

I personally think everyone needs a truly authentic Mexican Shredded Beef recipe in their repertoire and I've been wanting to make this for a long time.

So I finally made some a few weeks ago and oh my goodness was this the tastiest beef I've ever made.

It is perfect for tacos, tortilla stacks, burritos, etc. And it tasted just like the shredded beef at my favorite restaurant.

Guacamole

Pin It
I truly believe there is nothing better than homemade guacamole!

I could eat this stuff on just about everything.  It's great on eggs, breakfast casseroles, sandwiches, tacos, burritos, chips!  Should I really go on or do you get the picture?  I think you do.

Guacamole is so easy to make and everyone has their favorite additions so you can always add or remove what you like or don't like.  This is my favorite way of making guacamole.
