Cracker Candy Two


This is my take on My Creative Cafe's Caramel Candy Bars.
I used lowfat Club Crackers and I Can't Believe it's not Butter for Baking.

Chicken Pecan Quiche


You can feel free to use full fat-or light-items and if you do leave out the Hi Maize. I used it to thicken up the fat free cream cheese. I guess I should have said you can leave out the Hi Maize if you don't have any. It is a form of resistant starch and adds fiber so it can't hurt...

Ham Rolled Asparagus


We have gotten in to eating asparagus...a lot. This is a fast & easy meal... or snack. I used the Land-0'Frost ham from Walmart. It helps having equal pieces of ham.

Crock Pot Main dishes.



Chicken Ole is a big hit. Even using lower fat ingredients it is great!
Big T is a great dish, you can make tacos the next day and they taste great!

Quick and Easy meals....


In my never ending quest for organization, I am trying to meal plan.
I think everyone at my house was amazed that a ham sandwich was good with jam!

Here are a few of my recent meals. The pancake mix is versatile and I will post more recipes utilizing the mix. The taquitos were a huge hit. I tweaked the recipe from ourbestbites.com

Chili



I am thinking about campfire meals right now. I saw a recipe for corn pancakes to make over your campfire and serve with chili. I need to try this...
1/2 cup of beer
1 egg
1 cup corn muffin mix
Combine beer and egg. Stir in muffin mix until almost smooth. Bake on
hot, lightly greased griddle until golden. Place 2-3 pancakes on a plate and
top with chili.

Doesn't that sound good?

Brown Sugar Chicken Revisited


Okay, I tried the recipe the way it was written for the crock pot and I didn't really care for it. So this is the way I had the chicken and it was delicious.
I actually had frozen the ingredients in a ziplock and thawed during the day and then stuck it all in a pan to cook on the stove. Nothing scientific about the cooking method.

Chicken-Chinese Take Out style & Kettle Corn



The brown sugar chicken recipe is one to try for sure! I found this on A Year of Crockpotting. I stuck all of the ingredients in a ziplock bag and froze it. Pulled it out on Sunday and forgot the crockpot part. I heated the mixture to a boil on the stove top and then turned it to medium heat. Cooked the chicken through, then turned it to low and let it simmer. We thought we were at the local Chinese Buffet.

Granola and Yogurt




These recipes were snagged and tweaked. The yogurt came from A Year of Crockpotting, but using Greek yogurt as the starter made mine turn out great. Remember to save a cup as a starter for your next batch.
Granola is our new favorite snack.

Sweet Potato Burritos


See the older post for the Prairie Dust Recipe. This was a major hit! The recipe was really for patties, but they crumbled so we threw it in a tortilla. Great vegetarian recipe.
