This recipe was called "The Best Chocolate Cake Ever"... It was very delicious and it was definitely one of the best.... but I'm not convinced it was the absolute best... but its worth making when you're having company over (otherwise, you'll end up eating it all yourself!) Cake:1 box devils food cake1 package dry Jello chocolate pudding mix1 cup sour cream1 cup oil4 eggs, beaten1/2 cup milk1

So now that Thanksgiving is over, are you ready for something other than pumpkin?  These quesadillas are some of my FAVORITE to make now! I love this recipe and I know you will too! All you need is some cooked and cut up chicken (I love having grilled chicken cut and in my freezer for easy use), cooked and crumbled bacon, grated cheese and 1 avocado cut up. Preheat your pan with a dollop of

 I made these yummy cupcakes/muffins for a Halloween Party. I LOVE the pumpkin flavor. These had such a cool consistency. It was a mix between the crumby quality of muffins and the cake-like texture of cupcakes. And even better... they were so super easy! It only called for two ingredients, but I added in some spices and I loved it!  So, just a cake mix (I used white... yellow would work too

Can you believe it? I'm back! I make no guarantees as to how long I'll be back posting recipes, but the scare I just had about losing everything jump started me to get blogging again! So, this is a recipe I found on Pinterest a while back (from the website Dashing Dish) and I loved it. It was so quick and easy and I really liked it. I have to admit that my husband thought they were a good snack,

So... I might have made another kind of ice cream. I had all the ingredients and those Mint Oreos were calling my name. I just had to see how good it would be in this ice cream.And it DID.NOT.DISAPPOINT!YUM! If you are a mint oreo fan, you will want to try this. Seriously YUM.So, here we go...

You know how you have a recipe bookmarked FOREVER on your computer and you just don't try it... and then you finally do try it and it is easy and delicious? Seriously. Why have I not tried this meal before now? I have had it printed and sitting on my counter for probably 6 months and just tried it a few weeks ago. I don't even know where this recipe came from anymore... its just been that long. (

Every year right before Christmas, I debate about whether to buy Christmas cards or to make them.... I love the look of homemade cards, but I love the convenience of photo cards...And do people actually save Christmas cards? I'm not sure I love putting all that effort into my Christmas cards only to have people throw them away after reading our Christmas letter.I think I found my answer this year

Do you have too many apples?Well, I did and this is how I used them... to make apple pie filling for when I need to make a quick and easy dessert... Make a pie crust (or buy one... I won't tell!) dump this in top with another pie crust or a crumb topping and bake it! So easy!First, peel your apples and slice into small wedges.Fill your quart jars with apples.Then make this sauce:4 1/2 cups

I don't even want to call this a recipe, but I just have to share my latest quick lunch. I was looking in the refrigerator for something quick to make for lunch the other day and saw some leftover spaghetti sauce and I had a memory from my teenage years.

This is a recipe I got from a cookbook from my sister. Her Relief Society put together a cookbook and this was in it. It was delicious, but made WAY too much for our little family. I ended up making up many more wraps and freezing them for future use.Ingredients:2 Tbsp. butter1 pkg.

Ever since I was a teenager, I have been making salsa every single summer. My parents grew a huge garden every year (which I hated at the time... but now I very much envy) and they would grow tomatoes and peppers with which to make salsa. The summer that I was the only child left at home, my parents and I had a system. My dad would wake up first and pick the tomatoes and peppers and grill them.

This was such a super easy and absolutely delicious meal! I highly recommend it to MOST of you... I wouldn't recommend nursing mothers eat this. It was a little spicy and my little one was VERY upset the day after I ate this. But it was absolutely delicious and I can't wait to make it again... in 9 months when I'm done nursing... **sigh**Okay.. onto the recipe:1 small bottle of Zesty Italian

A couple weeks ago one of my friends asked me, "What are you making for dinner?" At the time, my husband was doing a cleanse, so I didn't have anything planned for dinner. The kids and I were just going to eat whatever since the hubbs wasn't eating with us.But it got me thinking... And I decided that I will try to post my weekly menu with links to the recipes I'm using.Last weeks menu:Monday:

This weekend was my little one's blessing at church and after church, my husband's family came over for a little luncheon. I tried quite a few new recipes (which I'll blog about later), but I wanted to share this cool way to make your cupcakes look really fancy...First, cut a piece of parchment paper about 7-8 inches square. Place it over the top of a cupcake slot.Press down into the cupcake slot

Is that recipe title long enough for you?I got this recipe from the Kraft Foods magazine that I used to receive in the mail... until I moved and I couldn't get the subscription changed over for some reason...Sad.This recipe makes 4 servings and each serving is only 460 calories! This was delicious- especially for being under 500 calories!Ingredients:1 1/2 cups multigrain penne pasta, uncooked9

This is a recipe I got from my good friend Abby. She used to live next door to me (***tear***) but we have both since moved from that neighborhood... (***another tear***)Anyway, I got a lot of good recipes from her and this is one in particular that we LOVE. Its so easy and quick that I can get it made in about an hour andits always ready for dinner! I don't know what she calls it, but we call it

Photo from http://www.foodlion.comMy sister posted this recipe on our family website and I had never tried it. I modified it a little bit because I felt like it called for way too much meat and not nearly enough beans. I was so impressed with how these turned out. They were absolutely delicious!

Just thought I would give a heads up...I won't be doing much cooking or experimenting with new recipes in the next few weeks...I have a new little one who is just as precious as can be and I don't want to miss any newborn moments. They are gone way too fast. Not to mention I will have my hands full with the 18 month old I have as well...So, I'll see you when I see you!

This is one of my favorite dinners... but I have to admit that I don't make it very often because it is kind of time intensive... Here are the ingredients:Heat a pan of vegetable oil. Then cut up your chicken (4-6 chicken breasts) into small pieces or strips. Dip in beaten egg and then cornstarch or flour. Transfer directly into your hot oil and brown the chicken.Put cooked chicken into 9x13 pan

Sometimes, there is just nothing better than cornbread to go with your soup... Yum. I admit that I usually use the boxed Jiffy pre-mix, but after making this and realizing how easy it is to make it from scratch, I don't think I'll ever use the box again! This made cornbread that was sweet, moist and didn't fall apart like the boxed stuff always does. YUM!Ingredients:1/2 cup butter2/3 cup sugar2

This recipe is a family favorite of mine. Every year, since before I can remember, we have eaten this for breakfast on Christmas. We rarely have it any other time, but I decided to make it for dinner a couple weeks ago and I remembered how much I absolutely love it.Make it... you won't regret it (unless you already have high cholesterol and a lot of plaque build up in your arteries...

I'm not actually sure how many "readers" I have, but I just wanted to let you know that it might be a L.O.N.G. while before I update again. We are all packed up and will be loading into our Uhaul tonight. We will begin our drive Saturday morning... and hopefully arrive back in Idaho Sunday night...

This is another recipe I got from a friend of mine (thanks Abby!) and she says she got it from Costco (so thanks Costco!) Once again, I have to apologize for the lack of pictures... we devoured the finished product too quickly apparently!I think this is such a great appetizer to make and even though I don't love spinach myself, this is one of our all-time favorite dips!1 1/2 cups canned artichoke

Okay, so I don't have a Grandma Stott, but this is a recipe that I got from a good friend of mine and she has a Grandma Stott!. I have featured a couple other recipes of hers on here... Super easy and VERY delicious! We LOVED this. I have to warn you- My house smelled very strong like onion while this was cooking, but the onion wasn't overpowering when you eat it. It was delish- and my house had

...And probably the only cinnamon roll I will ever make again! These were so easy and didn't take HOURS on end to make. I didn't have to get up at o-dark-thirty to start these in order to eat these for breakfast. YUM. Try them... You'll be convinced too. 1 hour from start to eating them.I got this recipe from Lick the bowl good- one of my favorite cooking blogs. Check her out!Preheat oven to 400

I love this meatball recipe- Actually, I shouldn't call it a meatball recipe, because I don't actually make my meatballs from scratch. I am lazy like that and just use frozen ones.

Sorry for the lack of posts... but I've been trying some new recipes and they haven't been worth sharing... just ask my husband! He's been such a good sport about my recent cooking.But this one we really liked. From start to finish I had this ready in under 25 minutes. Sounds like a winner to me!First of all, we served this over rice, and since I always do my rice in the microwave, I started it

This is a recipe I got from Josh's Grandma Shaw and I made it for the first time when we had a friend over for dinner when his wife and kids were out of town (It was Andrew....Ashley!) I didn't have high hopes for these because I thought they would taste too much like that fake Velveeta taste, but they actually don't. We really enjoy these and they are so simple and easy. I think they go great

CONFESSION: I have been married 5 years(in May) and have NEVER made a homemade pizza that we actually liked.Anytime I make a normal pizza crust recipe it comes out too "bready" and not enough pizza.So the other day when the husband told me he really wanted pizza for dinner, I was a bit worried. But... not to worry, Lick the Bowl Good always has something helpful. And sure enough, she had a great

This is a recipe that we tried last week from my crock pot cookbook... and I have to be honest... Josh loved it and I'm still trying to decide if I liked it.I think the flavor of the red pepper flakes was a little too much for me... so I will decrease the amount in the recipe here on the blog. But here's the recipe. Try it and tell me if you like it as much as Josh did (maybe he was just being

This recipe I am going to share comes from my Mother-in-Law. While we were down in Idaho, my MIL managed to have 26 people at her house for Thanksgiving without going crazy. That's quite the accomplishment if you ask me. I wasn't even in charge of the dinner and thought I might go crazy. Hats off to her! Once most people had left and it was just the immediate family at the house, she made this

This is one of those recipes I got from Feast for the Eyes and I was very surprised at how much the hubby and the baby loved this! This is kind of a quiche... but with potatoes, so I felt like it had a lot more substance.Peel 1 large russet potato and slice it fairly thin. Microwave the potatoes in a little bit of water for about 5 minutes and then drain and set aside. Chop and cook the bacon in

This was a recipe I found on the back of a recipe I tore out of a magazine. In other words, I didn't even know I had this recipe. I saw it and since I had everything to make it, I did!

This is a recipe I got from Pioneer Woman Cooks and it is so delicious! We loved this. I am so glad that Josh is not the type of guy that HAS to have meat at every meal, because we couldn't enjoy the yumminess of meals like this...

Alright, I decided that I am just going to do a tutorial of my 2 favorite from last week. If there are any other ones you absolutely want a tutorial for, just let me know and I'll do it.Pumpkin:The pumpkin is by far one of the easiest cupcakes! Frost a cupcake in light orange frosting. Make it nice and round on top... You need a good amount of frosting.Next, dip cupcake in orange decorative sugar

After last Tuesday night's class, I was not very happy with the quality of the class. The instructor was NOT organized, she rambled a lot and the class was not what I expected it to be.Well, I came home last night with some really cool looking cupcakes, regardless of the fact that this class is still not what I was expecting!Here are my cupcake creations from Cupcake Class #1A pumpkinA howling

Every year with the holidays approaching, I get cravings for pumpkin flavors... It is just such a delicious taste! I will always remember feeling deprived of these delicious flavors before I had my little baby B last holiday season (Dang gestational diabetes!)... but my wonderful sister made these for breakfast on the first morning home from the hospital and I was in absolute heaven...Any time I

So, I know that most of my "readers" are in colder parts of the US than I am. The other day (it was probably in the mid 80's) I had the cooler on and I was cold. So I decided to make soup and corn bread. It was very yummy and I thought my friends who are actually having colder weather might appreciate this!Ingredients:1 can corn (drained)1/2 cup chopped onion (or 4 Tbsp. dried chopped onions1

This is another one of those recipes I got from my sister. Most of my yummiest recipes come from siblings... They are just great cooks! I think this recipe is pretty fool-proof! You can put just about anything you want inside and it will be so yummy! Josh and I were both saying, "Mmm"... as we ate last night!I used the recipe for a pizza crust from my Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook and since

This is a recipe that I made up last night, and I LOVED it. Josh isn't a fan of enchiladas made with sour cream, so this was my attempt to make enchiladas that he would eat. Josh and I both agreed that it was the best pan of Enchiladas I have made our entire marriage...Now that's quite something! (and sorry... no pictures of my own.

This yummy recipe came from my friend Ashley. We tried it last night and it was great! It hit 3pm yesterday and I hadn't even thought of dinner and Josh said he'd be on his way home in a couple hours and was starving... So I threw this in my crock pot and away we went! I halved this recipe and we still had TONS left over! (so... plan according to your family size! I might even third this next

Alright... so I'm a fan of dessert.I like Oreo cookies, but I don't LOVE them like Josh does... but these little babies are fantastic! This is a recipe from Josh's Grandma Shaw who we miss very dearly. Every time I make them I think of what a wonderful woman she was and how I wish I had gotten more time with her (I know we all do!).

Alright, this fabulous recipe comes from my friend Laura Clark who gave me this recipe a LONG LONG time ago and I have never tried it. I decided last week that I need to expand my cooking and recipe list, so this was on my list to try. We ate this last night as our "Last Supper" (see post below about our Colon Cleanse...)I was not disappointed and it was super easy!1/2 t. ground pepper1 1/2 lbs

That's right my friends... Josh and I are doing a cleanse... Wish me luckHere's all the apple juice I bought: and after only one day I have quickly realized that we are going to need a lot more... which means I have to go to the store with all that tempting food....

I found this recipe just yesterday on Facebook on one of my old friends notes she had written. It looked easy, I had all the ingredients, so I made it for dinner. And it was GOOD!! (and Josh like it a lot.. But shh... Don't tell him it has sour cream in it...) I really really liked it. And its a crock pot... so it doesn't get much easier than that!1 tsp. dried oregano1/2 tsp seasoned salt1/4 tsp

This is a yummy rice pilaf recipe that I got from my oldest sister a while back. It is super easy and really good. I make this a lot when I realize that I need a side dish and don't have much time. It only takes about 20-25 minutes from start to finish.1/4-1/2 cup butter (depending on how healthy you are feeling!)1/2 cup broken spaghetti noodlesBreak up the spaghetti noodles into about 1/2 in

Please excuse the horrible picture in this one. The lighting in my apartment is so yellow that all of my indoor pictures have a terrible yellow, grainy look to them. Yuck!Before Josh and I had any kids, I never worried about what was for dinner, because nothing ever got in the way of me making dinner. But, ever since having a child, everything has changed. I plan out all of my meals every week,

Now... before you get judgmental... you have to try this before you make any assumptions as to what this is. My sister and her family eat most of their meals vegetarian. While I was visiting, she tried this recipe and it was actually quite good. It doesn't taste like a big juicy hamburger, so you can't expect it to... but it has really yummy taste... So this recipe (and pictures) is stolen 100%

I love this dinner (Do I say that every time??) What I especially love about this one is the peppers!! I love bell peppers, especially yellow and red. YUMMY! First: If you are going to make this, you probably need to start your rice first! My rice takes 20 minutes in the microwave and this meal only takes 25 minutes to prepare.. so you have to start both at the same time!1 1/2 lbs. top round

Josh and I are pretty much kids at heart and love macaroni and cheese. But... making it from a box just does nothing for me... that powdered cheese.. clumping up in the noodles.. Ughh.. So this homemade stuff is great! Its so easy and uses real ingredients.

Mmmmm....This recipe I just made last night and I had almost forgotten how yummy it was! Super easy, but I do have to plan to make it- since I don't usually keep Mozzarella Cheese in the house... This is perfect for summer since it is cooked on the grill...Perfect for not heating your kitchen too much when it is already so hot, and it only has 5 ingredients! Try it out! 1/4 cup Sun Dried Tomato

This is, BY FAR, Josh's favorite dinner to have. The recipe for Lasagna is his mother's and we love it. It is simple and uses normal ingredients that I have around the house all the time- I don't usually have ricotta cheese like most lasagnas call for, but I always have cottage cheese. I usually just make an 8x8 since there are only 2 of us eating, but I will give you the recipe for the 9x13 pan

This is a tip that I learned from my sister a long time ago, and I love it... Oddly enough, she and her family don't eat much meat anymore, so I don't think she really uses this trick anymoreBut, Here it is: I precook almost all of my ground beef. It speeds up my cooking time and seriously makes my dinners come together 3x as fast as they do when you have to thaw your ground beef, then cook it,

She is a fabulous cook and this recipe is no exception... and its even easy! She made this for a luncheon with the girls one time and I absolutely loved it.
