Toasted Italian Sub with Meatballs
Everyone in my family loves bread, cheese and meatballs. How could I go wrong with a toasted Italian sub? I couldn’t and I didn’t. This is amazing and it went FAST! I needed a quick meal during a busy week and while running through the meat department at my grocery store, I spotted pre-made meatballs. I have never bought them before, always make them myself. However, time crunch! I was game. Grabbed a loaf of fresh baked French bread, a jar of sauce and some Parm Romano. Voila. These meatballs cook in 15 minutes. Just pop them in a saucepan with your favorite sauce and they are done when tender…
Super Yummy Beef Enchiladas
Go to recipes > This is one. As I have said before, I cook for picky eaters #MyKids. There are just a handful of meals that every member of my family will eat and one is Beef Enchiladas, which for all intents and purposes, is really Cheesy Beef Green Chili Enchilada Stacks. Too long right? Beef Enchiladas encompass it all. These are different than most conventional enchilada recipes but honestly, I only like my Moms Red Chili and I have yet to learn how to make it. MOM! She makes a delicious, savory, spicy red chili that cannot be duplicated. So I make my enchiladas with our generations old family…
Mrs. O’s Cheez-It Chicken Recipe
When I was growing up my mom worked full time. In spite of this, she always had a home cooked meal on the table by 5:30. I truly admire this! When I think about it, I don’t know how she did. I did cook when I worked full time but it was not every night and it was just for me and my roommate, my sister. She cooked a lot too. So yes, I admire and appreciate the fact that mom always had a delicious, hot meal ready for us every evening. She always found a way to be inspired and use the ingredients she had available. I would love…
Easy, Delicious Smores Waffle Cones
This yucky January weather has me pining for hot, summer days. Thought I would pull a sun-shiney post out to feel warm and happy. Every Summer we go away to Horsetooth Reservoir and stay in their lake front cabins. We love it and it has become quite a family tradition. We go with my extended family. We usually have about 20-30 people around at any given time. The kids all play on the beach, the adults play cards and have a great time. I always go to Pinterest for some yummy snack ideas. This time around I found Smores Waffle Cones! Yes… SMORES WAFFLES CONES. You basically buy everything that…

I knew I could not go wrong with these. Next time though,…
“Tie-Dye” Cupcakes
Recently I made a Rainbow layer cake for my son’s birthday. I had a box of cake mix leftover and thought I would try making a cupcake version of this cake. I made the White Cake Mix and then divided it into 4 bowls, I dyed each bowl and then scooped spoonfuls into muffins cups. I baked for 15 minutes at 350. They kids loved them. Looking back, I wish I would have swirled the colors around a little bit with a toothpick. I did not frost them, too messy and less sugar. If you make these, share your link in the comments please, I would love to see them!
Skillet S’mores
Skillet S’mores are all over the interwebs this summer. Who likes waiting until you go camping to cook them up? In my city, fire pits are not allowed so that is not an option. What to do? Microwave ones just aren’t the same. So glad when this idea came around! I googled Skillet S’mores and then I grabbed the blog with the oldest entry…. she started this yummy deliciousness as far as I can tell. THANK YOU Five Heart Home! I purchased the ingredients and surprised my family with S’mores @ home, in my home, this is a wonderful thing. Super duper easy. These were overall a cheap,…
