Jesus Take The Meal

  This one was an online find and a "new to me" recipe. Apparently, it came from TikTok. The boys really liked it, and I can say that it reheats really well. It comes together in about 20 min if you have everything going at the same time like I did. I actually got it ready around lunchtime and popped it into the fridge to bake later that evening for dinner.

  I've been on a wee bit of a hiatus - 8 months "ish". At first, the lighting was so bad in the winter to take pictures that everything looked awful in photos. Then, life started lifeing. Right at the tail end of the school year my husband got a new job offer, and the next few months were a whirlwind of house hunting, packing, moving, settling in, getting kids situated and registered for school, and have I mentioned my husband hasn't actually moved here with us yet? Whew! But hopefully I can get back into posting, and this house has FABULOUS natural light. The other morning as school was starting I was very thankful for this "prepare ahead" breakfast favorite. They are easy, delicious, and they keep for days in the fridge. My middle has eaten them for breakfast and also packed some for lunch. Ingredients: 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1 lb hot sausage, uncooked 1 cups sharp shredded cheddar 1 1/4 c. bisquick baking mix Directions: Preheat oven to 400. Mix all ...

I disappeared for a bit. Winter lighting and taking photos of food don't mix well, and since I tend to cook dinner at dinner time instead of during good lighting it has made taking pics of food challenging. But I'll be better. I saw this on Instagram last week and thought it looked good. My boys and husband love a good bowl, and this was easy. I added it on the fly while grocery shopping last Friday, and they all agreed it needed to be made again soon. You cook the chicken in the crockpot all day and the rest of the ingredients are quickly pulled together.  Ingredients: 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 jar of Siete brand green enchilada sauce, 16oz 4 oz cream cheese 1 package taco seasoning (I used Siete brand) Rice, cooked (I cooked 4 c rice in rice cooker and then added salt, juice of 2 limes, and chopped cilantro) 2 cans of charro beans (Siete brand)**Side note - I had never heard of charro beans, so if you don't have them sub pinto beans or black beans, although t...

  It is COLD in the South right now. I made this soup a few weeks ago, and the boys all loved it. It was easy, and it was really good. I bought a roll of rosemary bread from the bakery section at Kroger, and it was perfect to soak up the liquid.

  This bread is SO good. I have made it at least twice now, and it looks like a lot of ingredients, but the only thing I had to buy was the pumpkin butter because I subbed vegetable oil for the coconut oil. I'll list the ingredients, but I am sending you guys over to Tieghan at Half Baked Harvest for the instructions.

My favorite chicken salad from Chicken Salad Chick is the Sassy Scotty. It has ranch, chicken, and bacon. My boys love it, too. As it turns out, you can make a pretty spot on duplicate at home for a WHOLE LOT LESS that is delicious. If you like this chicken salad, or if you want to jazz up a plain chicken salad this recipe is a must. Ingredients: 1 lb chicken tenderloins 1 rib celery, finely diced 3/4 c mayo. For the love of all things good in the world, please use Duke's 3 T ranch dressing - this Litehouse ranch is really good 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder Salt and Pepper to taste 1/2 c real bacon pieces 1/2 c shredded cheddar Directions: Boil chicken tenders until done. Shred while warm using a mixer to get the best results. While the chicken cooks, mix all other ingredients. Once chicken cools, add in chicken and refrigerate. Enjoy!
