Crab Salad

This is a creamy, healthy cold salad for a hot summer day.  It’s delicious on toasted bread or crackers. I haven’t ever used it as a veggie dip… but I bet that would be delicious too! Let’s Get Crafty! Crab with diced veggies:  1lb immitation crab, diced into small pieces 1/2 cup celery, diced (be…

Cheeseburger Muffins

My Mom gave me a fun muffin pan cookbook for my birthday called Super-Quick Muffin Tin Meals written by Melanie LaDue.  This was the first recipe we tried and I followed the recipe pretty true… well as close to true as I can do. 🙂 It was a huge hit!  Let’s just say there weren’t a…

Chorizo Stuffed Peppers

I don’t often cook with poblano peppers, but I’ve had them stuffed a few time and really liked them.  This recipe came from having chorizo on-hand that I wanted to use along with a couple peppers.  To be completely honest… my first idea was to make a chorizo dip with extra cheese and diced up…

One-Pot Turkey Sausage Pasta

This… My Friends is a quick dinner of deliciousness. The pasta has tons of flavor from cooking in the broth and I LOVE that it can all be done in one pot!  This is truly a perfect weeknight meal.   Let’s Get Crafty! Saute together until sausage starts to brown and onions are soft: 1…

Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken pot pie is one of those comforting  go-to meals that’s perfect for when you want to make sure the kiddos eat good.  I really like taking help from the store on this one and using crescent rolls for the top.  Not using a pie crust really lightens this meal up- especially because the crescent…

Beef Enchiladas

Remember the honey lemon enchiladas?  Well… these happened a couple days after.  ðŸ™‚ I decided to make my own red enchilada sauce.  It was very good!  We used half in this recipe and then froze half to have on hand for another enchilada night.   Let’s Get Crafty! 1 medium onion, diced as fine as…

Honey Lemon Chicken Enchiladas

This house is a big fan of Mexican food and we have enchiladas on the regular.  I saw this recipe flipping through an old Quick and Light magazine from Taste of Home.  (I try to reference where I get initial recipes from when it’s from one specific place… but the directions and ingredients won’t completely…

Taco Ring

This recipe is fun especially because you can pick up the crescent rolls when you happen to catch them on sale and make a quick and easy dinner.  Over the last several years I’ve seen many different recipes using this same concept… like buffalo chicken (sounds delicious!) and philly cheese steak (also haven’t tried but…

Pork Fajita Tacos

I tossed this into the crockpot on a Monday morning that I knew was going to be a busy week.  It ended up being a delicious dinner that kept us happy for a few meals.  We had tacos the night we cooked it then my husband took some for lunch in burritos (I had more…

Lasagna Pasta Bake

Love the flavors of Lasagna but want to do something a little bit different?  That’s was had me wanting to make this dish.  That and I thought it would be faster than regular lasagna.  Disclaimer… it wasn’t any faster than making a traditional lasagna but it was fun to make and kids ate it up!…
