This is one of those recipes that surprised me that I didn’t already have it on my blog. Mark and I made these many times when we were newly married. We love jalapeno poppers and trying out different recipes that incorporate their flavors. Yes, these are as tasty as they look. The only problem will…

Dilly Pretzel Sticks
This recipe is special to me because Connor brought it home from school one day. He had a friend that would bring these pretzel sticks to school for snack and he liked them so much that he asked his friend to ask his Mom for the recipe. He brought it home on a sticky note…
Jalapeno Popper Dip
We were going to make some jalapeno poppers to go with dinner but the store was out of jalapenos. I guess a lot of people are leaning on their vitamin C benefits during the corona-virus. So… we made this dip instead. It was really good! I would add extra green chilies to it next time…
Canning Salsa and Skipping the Water Bath
Hello everyone! It’s canning season and we’re giving canning salsa another go this year. We used the same recipe as last year. https://craftypapercrafters.blogspot.com/search?q=salsa I recently heard of some friends canning that didn’t process their salsa in a water bath but that they filled the sterilized jars, tightened the lids and turned them upside down for the…
Taco Egg Rolls in the Air Fryer
We got my husband an air fryer for Christmas. I thought he would be super excited about it… but he didn’t seem to be. He loves fried food and we rarely make it at home. I thought this could be the gateway to healthier “fried” food. It uses such a small amount of oil and…
Pumpkin Seeds!
Our annual family time of carving pumpkins truly makes this Mama’s heart happy. I love that the kiddos pretend like they are going to be able to get the guts and seeds out without saying things like “Yuck!” and “Gross!” This year was especially fun because Connor carved his own Pumpkin for the first time. …
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Football season is here and one of the things I love about it are the snacks and dips. Man oh man! I sure love the dips. There are so many buffalo chicken dip recipes out there and this one isn’t very different from many of those. I’ve adapted ours for our tastes over time. I…
Fresh Salsa
I truly love all kinds of salsa. We found a few jalapenos from our garden that were hiding in the middle of the plant and I was excited to use them right away. We didn’t have all the ingredients that I usually use in salsa but decided to make it work with what we had. …
Jalapeno Muffin Cups
Here’s an oldie but goodie. I used to make these for Mark a lot when we were just married. The original recipe comes from Pillsbury and uses they Pillsbury Grands Jr Golden Layers. These tasty bites are quick, easy and hard to resist. On this particular day – I was able to throw them together…
Turkey Fun!
Are you still looking for something to take or add to your Thanksgiving celebration? It doesn’t get much more fun or festive than making this little guy. This picture is a couple years old… but I just love it and had to share. My nieces and parents put this together. No fancy recipe here! Just…
