I love stocking up our pantry and freezer during the fall as fresh produce is plentiful and so tasty. We love to can salsa and do that each year but this year I have been brainstorming other things we could do. You know how I love my freezer… so I’m not canning the spaghetti sauce…

Toasting Burritos in the Air Fryer
If you love burritos but want to change it up a bit – give toasting them in the air fryer a try. It adds an extra layer of crunchiness that takes a regular burrito to the next level. Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees and let warm up a couple minutes…
Super Easy Chili Dogs
You know how time flies by? Well – we made this the day after 4th of July when we made too many hotdogs the day before. This was a fun way to use them up and I had some frozen cooked hamburger that I wanted to use up too. I also really like chili anytime…
Tater Tot Fun!
This isn’t really a recipe as much as a fun way to add some flavor to a favorite side we seem to be having more and more at our house. Yay for fun Tater Tots! My sister-in-law gifted me the newest Ree Drummond cookbook for this past Christmas. One of the recipes included doing this…
Wonton Lasagna Cups
These are a little more time intensive than I usually like to do but I came across a similar recipe and wanted to give it a try. These were really good. I especially like the way the wontons get nice and crispy all around. This recipe makes 12. Next time we make this – I’m…

Crab Cakes
The dinner request was for crab cakes and we decided to make it work with canned crab meat. Not fancy… but turned out much better than I suspected it would! Big shout out to my husband for his frying skills. Let’s Get Crafty! Gently combine together: 1 pound crab meat (4 cans of 4oz each)…
Meatloaf Cupcakes
One of my favorite things about meatloaf is the crispy edges. That is what intrigued me about this recipe. By making them cupcakes – there are lots of crispy edges. Let’s Get Crafty! Preheat oven to 350 degrees Ingredients: 2 lbs ground beef (I used 88% lean) 2 eggs 1 cup italian breadcrumbs 1/2…
Cajun Mussels in a Rich Tomato Sauce
Mussels are something that I didn’t try until I was an adult. I’m all about the sauce and the crusty bread that goes along with them. These mussels are simple and delicious. I wish we had some parsley on hand to sprinkle over the top. That would have added the perfect layer of freshness to…
