OMG!! Do your kids (or you (aka me)) l9ve those horrible for you mini chocolate chip muffins that come in those packs?? I just accidentally made them and the kids went wild! I had a little leftover batter from my most requested Sunday recipe (pancake squares in my brownie pan). So easy! I use Bisquick gluten free baking mix and follow the directions for their pancakes and add in some chocolate chips!

Loved this Shepard's pie! So easy and healthy! Used ground turkey, veggies, and mashed cauliflower on top!

Pancakes using the Pampered Chef large bar pan are a new family favorite! So easy...can't believe I had never tried this! Just mix up your batter like normal, pour, and bake for about 18 minutes! No more stressing about flipping pancakes for a family of 6, allowing you to take back that time you would have spent tied to to stove!

Made this last night and it was absolutely amazing! I added marshmallows on top during the last 5 minutes of baking. This recipe will have people raving over your baking abilities!!!

Bless you, Pinterest. I’ve discovered yet another most delicious holiday treat. I bring you… Pumpkin Dump Cake! Well, actually Cookies & Cups brings you this fabulous recipe. I only tweaked it ...

I'm back!!! Here was my attempt at a healthy chowder since I LOVE soup!

1 cauliflower steamed and smashed in my food processor with about a half a cup of homemade chicken broth.
Bacon (I baked mine...add as much as you'd like)
Celery (as much as you'd like....could also add onions and garlic if you have on hand)
2 cups almond milk
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 c chicken broth with 2 T gluten free flour (for thickening)
As much cheese as you'd like ( I used cheddar that I grated myself....the pre-grated stuff scares me)

Combine everything in a saucepan until bubbly!

Delicious and healthy! Alter to your liking.

My attempt at red, white, and blue strawberries...too bad I don't have a 5 year old to pass off blame of my decorating mishaps ;-)

Sweet potatoes crusted chicken pot pie! Recipe to follow.

Newest creation! Here's what I threw together:
Ground turkey, cooked
Cooked quinoa (about 1/2 a box)
Beef stock (probably about a cup-I used beef stock b/c I didn't have chicken stock or broth open...either would work)
Can of beans (any variety will do)
Sauteed zucchini, shredded carrots, and garlic
Can of tomatoes, drained
Can of corn, drained
Dash of cumin
Cilantro
Lime juice
Mojo marinade

Ok time to show my cooking blog some love! Tonight I was craving a dessert and new I had a box of yellow cake mix in the pantry so I started looking on Pinterest for some ideas. Well, I didn't find anything that peaked my interested so I decided to create my own recipe...the result.....CANDY CAKE!!! I prepared the yellow cake mix as directed and then folded in crushed Reeses, M&Ms, and Reeses Pieces. I baked the cake on 325 and then took the cake out and plopped in 15 Hershey kisses and returned it to the oven for the last 10 minutes of baking. This cake is amazing!!!!! You don't even need any icing!
