So I received my Christmas present *from myself* in the mail the other day, and have been dying to try it out! If you haven't guessed already, it's a new camera! Weee! :) These little treats were the perfect test tool! If you like chocolate covered pretzels, you must try making them at home! They're so much better than the pre-packaged kind...not to mention super easy (though a little time consuming). Perfect for filling into clear gift baggies, tie with some festive ribbon, and send them out as holiday gifts! I was feeling generous today so I packaged some up and gave them to Bear's groomer, she loved them :).
How cute would these be if you could find the pretzels in holiday shapes?!
Ingredients:
2 bags chocolate chips
Bag of mini pretzels
Sprinkles of your choice
wax paper
Directions:
Melt chocolate chips (1 bag at a time) in a bowl according to package directions. Dip pretzels one at a time quickly to coat while chocolate is still melted. Place pretzels on wax paper to set and cool. Finish with sprinkles before the chocolate dries! :)

crockpot pot roast
So I'm pretty convinced I make some of the best pot roast out there. I know there are a billion recipes out there, but most of them call for a ton of packaged spice envelopes and canned ingredients which are LOADED with sodium, fat and calories. This one is super simple but tastes great. My hubby and I love to add in some Louisiana hot sauce to give it an extra kick.
Ingredients:
3.5-4 lb pot roast
1/4 cup flour
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
3 carrots, sliced
2 onions, sliced
3 potatoes, quartered (I use a bunch of tiny halved red potatoes)
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bottle of beer (Guiness is the best for this recipe, or another dark beer)
Louisiana hot sauce, optional
Directions:
1. Combine flour, salt, and pepper; coat meat.
2. Place all veggies except mushrooms and garlic into crock pot.
3. Top with roast.
4. Spread mushrooms and garlic over roast.
5. Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours or high for 6-8 hours.

pumpkin spice muffins
These are the moistest muffins I've ever tasted. And to think they only took 2 ingredients! No eggs, oil, or sugar! If you're an amateur at baking like me and want something that tastes and smells just like fall, these are for you. You could even sprinkle with powdered sugar, add chopped nuts, raisins, chocolate chips or top with cream cheese frosting if you're feelin' adventurous! ;)
This recipe makes about 14-16 regular sized muffins.
Ingredients:
1 box spice cake mix
15 oz 100% pure canned pumpkin
paper muffin/cupcake liners
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350.
-In a large bowl, mix together cake mix and canned pumpkin until well combined.
-Spoon into paper lined small muffin/cupcake tins, 2/3 full. (Batter will be thick)
-Bake at 350 for 23 minutes (roughly 15 min. for mini muffins) or until toothpick comes out clean.

grilled chicken breast tostadas
The differences I made from this recipe is instead of marinating my chicken I just rubbed a smashed clove of garlic on them and sprinkled the lime juice over top. You could add any other seasoning you like to it as well (I used a honey-lime seasoning I have) if you don't feel like taking time to marinate. I left out the cilantro in the pico de gallo and the green chiles in the guacamole. You don't put green chiles in guac!
Grilled Chicken Breast Tostadas
- 2 limes
- 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breast (about 1 1/2 p0unds)
- kosher salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 1 cup sour cream (You could sub plain greek yogurt)
- 6 (6 inch) corn tortillas (I used white corn tortillas)
- additional olive oil
- easy guacamole
- pico de gallo
- In a gallon sized ziploc bag, combine juice from 1 lime, olive oil, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for 1 hour. (I skipped this step)
- While chicken marinates, mix 1 cup sour cream with 1 tsp. lime zest and 1-2 Tbsp. lime juice (from remaining lime) to make a lime crema. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Preheat grill to high. Grill chicken for about 4-6 minutes per side until juices run clear and chicken is cooked.
- Brush tortillas with olive oil and toast on grill for about 30 seconds per side or until nice and crisp. Remove from grill and sprinkle with salt. (I just sprayed with spray oil)
- Slice cooked chicken breasts into slices and build tostadas. To build: Spread tortilla with guacamole then top with chicken slices, pico de gallo, followed by lime crema. Serve with Bush’s Texas Ranchero Grillin’ Beans on the side. Makes 6 tostadas.

These things are delicious!! I think I might even like them better than regular fries. I love the sweet I get from the potato and the salty I get from the ranch (because everyone knows how much I love ranch right? lol) Ketchup just wouldn't do. It MUST be ranch. MmmMm. Tony loves these things too, he's always asking me to make them.
Every time I see photos of these recipes though, their fries are always orange...I can't tell if they just have different sweet potatoes or if they are using yams instead. I just stick to the one that's labeled "sweet potato" at the grocery store :)
Ingredients:
- 1 sweet potato, (about 5" long) peeled and cut into 1/4" fries
- 2 tsp olive oil
- about 1/2 a dry packet of Zesty Italian dressing, or to your taste preference
- few shakes of garlic powder
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-In a medium bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, italian dressing powder and garlic powder.
-Spread potatoes on a baking sheet or on top of a cooling rack. Avoid crowding so potatoes get crisp. Bake 15 minutes. Turn and bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Ovens may vary so keep an eye on them and be sure to cut all the potatoes the same size to ensure even cooking.

oreo truffles
Ingredients:
1 package Oreo cookies
1 8oz. package cream cheese, softened (I use low-fat or fat-free)
Your choice of melting chocolate (I used 2 boxes of Baker's white chocolate)
1 box of dark/milk chocolate for drizzle, optional (I used Bakers dark choc)
Directions:
Finely crush package of oreos in a large food processor or place them in a ziploc bag and crush into a fine consistency.
Stir in softened cream cheese. I found it's easiest to just mix it with clean hands.
Use a small melon baller or cookie scoop and roll into small balls.
Put them in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes to keep the balls from falling apart.
Melt chocolate as directed on package (I microwave it inside of a large glass measuring cup) and then dip one at a time into chocolate (I use 2 spoons to mix ball around and cover completely, and then pick it up with one of the spoons), tap off the extra chocolate and then slide them onto wax/parchment paper to dry.
(Optional) Dip a fork into melted dark colored chocolate, then drizzle onto each cake ball.
Keep refrigerated IF you have any leftovers ;)
Variations- Using Mint Oreos and dark chocolate Bakers melting chocolate. Drizzle with green colored chocolate! :)

dad's mexican steak & chorizo fajitas
Every time Tony and I go and visit my padre in Mexico, he makes this fajita dish for us. I'm pretty sure it's just something he concocted one day at random. It's marinated steak, chorizo (a very flavorful pork sausage with many seasonings), mushrooms, poblano peppers, onions, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Top it with sour cream and some homemade guac and YUM! I can't even begin to tell you how much flavor this dish has, you'll never want regular fajitas again! Mine turned out a little bit spicy because of the type of chorizo I used. If you can find fresh chorizo from a mexican grocery store, BUY IT! You add it to everything and it tastes soo good.. chicken, eggs, you name it! This recipe ended up making 4 servings worth of food. Enough for leftovers the next day!
Ingredients:
- 2-3 marinated steaks (I bought montreal seasoned ribeyes and marinated them in a "Jack Daniel's Mesquite flavor EZ Marinade bag" for 6-8 hours, this marinade was delicious!)
-1 package chorizo (I found this at our commissary near the Bratwurst and sausages, the package I bought had 4-5 tiny sausages in them, some are just 1 big sausage)
- 2 onions, quartered then sliced
-2 poblano peppers, seeded and diced
- 5-7 cloves of garlic
-8 oz canned mushrooms, drained
-dash of Worcestershire sauce
-tortillas
-sour cream & Guacamole (optional)
Directions:
-Grill marinated steaks just enough to brown/sear them on each side. You don't want them cooked thoroughly or else they will end up overcooked at the end. Set steaks aside. (You could also pan sear them using a large skillet if you don't have access to a grill)
- Peel the casing off of the chorizo, and cook in a large skillet over medium to medium high heat. (Make sure it's ground up with a spoon like you would do with hamburger meat.) Once cooked thoroughly set aside.
-Drain some of the chorizo grease then add in onion, peppers, garlic, and mushrooms to same skillet and sautee over medium heat until nice and soft. While veggies are sauteeing, dice up your steaks into tiny bite-sized pieces.
-Add chorizo to skillet and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-Add diced steak to skillet, 5-6 shakes of Worcestershire sauce, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes. This is where your steak will finish cooking, it should be nice and juice by the time it's done, not overcooked. I made that mistake the first time and overcooked it, turned out too dry haha.
-Add fajita mix into a tortilla and top with sour cream and guac. Dig in!!

crockpot chicken taco chili
1 onion, chopped
1 16-oz can black beans
1 16-oz can kidney beans
1 8-oz can tomato sauce
10 oz package frozen corn kernels
2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes w/chilies
1 packet taco seasoning
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
24 oz (3-4) boneless skinless chicken breasts
chili peppers, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (I omitted this as I HATE cilantro. Blegh!)
-One change I did make while making this recipe is I boiled my chicken before I put it in the crock pot. I don't like the taste of the "chicken juice" that comes out of raw chicken when you cook it (weird I know lol), so I preferred to boil the chicken and shred it before placing it in the crockpot. It also reduced the cooking time greatly
robert's BBQ sausage and veggies
Anyways, for this recipe the BBQ sauce is what makes this dish. Plus all of the peppers are so colorful haha! I have the pleasure of being from one of the most famous places for BBQ and sauces. If you can't find a really great bottled BBQ sauce, experiment with making some homemade. The sauce I used is from Wal-mart back in Texas, I'm not really sure where all they carry it. This BBQ sauce is seriously the shiz. Will probably end up buying more online, this bottle won't last long around here. Now onto the cooking!...
Ingredients:
-a few tbsp of olive oil
-assorted bell peppers, sliced (I used 1 green, 1 red, and 1 orange)
-1 medium red onion, sliced
-1 package of smoked sausage, sliced (I used smoked turkey sausage, can't taste the difference but much healthier!)
-Your favorite BBQ sauce
Directions:
Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in bell peppers and onion, and sautee until nice and soft. Add in smoked sausage and cook until heated through (you could grill it instead for the extra flavor). Add in BBQ sauce and let simmer for 5-10 minutes..The amount of BBQ sauce is your preference really, I added enough to thoroughly cover all of the food and then maybe a little extra ;)

seven layer dip
Every once and a while Tony asks me to make dip with my homemade salsa. This recipe is a pretty basic seven layer dip with a lot of room for change, so adjust it to your liking. Seriously though, learning how to make your own salsa would benefit you for this recipe. ;)
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 can fat-free refried beans (I prefer a can of black beans, if you use black beans put the taco seasoning with the sour cream/cream cheese mix)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (I used 1/3 less fat kind)
1 (16 ounce) container light sour cream
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa, preferably some homemade salsa ;)
1 bunch chopped green onions
1 small head iceberg or romaine lettuce, shredded (I used chopped fresh spinach leaves)
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
-In a bowl, blend the taco seasoning mix and refried beans. Spread the mixture onto a large serving platter.
-Mix the sour cream and cream cheese in a bowl. Spread over the refried beans.
-Top the layers with salsa. Place a layer of lettuce, cheese and green onions. Feel free to add olives, bell peppers, whatever else you like!

pioneer woman's stuffed mushrooms
My favorite stuffed mushrooms on the planet come from the Double Musky here in Alaska. These mushrooms from the Pioneer Woman take a close second and boy are these things good. I made these a few weeks ago for a house party, and they were ALL gone within 10 minutes! You won't be disappointed if you make these, trust me! :) I did tweak the original recipe a little for my liking and added some garlic butter (minced garlic and melted butter) over the top of each shroom after cooking, it's well worth it! If you want step-by-step pictures on this recipe, check out Pioneer Woman's link above, she has some great photos!
Ingredients:
24 ounces, weight White Button Mushrooms (I used crimini mushrooms)

easy texas chili
My dad taught me this recipe a few years back when I was first learning how to cook. It's super easy and doesn't take many ingredients. Perfect for that cold lazy day!
I used to use ground beef for this recipe, but I've been on a ground turkey kick lately, and it tastes the same as using beef but it's healthier for you. This chili is even better the next day so feel free to make it ahead of time!
Ingredients:
1-1.5 lb ground turkey or beef (I used turkey)
1 fresh jalapeno, diced (or canned if unavailable, canned is spicier)
1/2 an onion, diced
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can hot Rotel (or mild/medium if you don't want it too spicy)
1 can pinto beans, drained
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can tomato sauce
1/2 can of water
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
tomato paste (if it needs thickening)
Directions:
In a large pot or dutch oven, cook turkey, jalapeno, onion, and garlic until meat is cooked all the way through. Add Rotel, beans, tomato sauce, water, and spices to pot. Simmer on low for 3-4 hours, the longer the simmer the better! If you're in a hurry though, omit the water and simmer for 1 hour.

lighter buffalo chicken dip
This recipe is a combination of 2 recipes I found. I've made it several times and it's always a hit at parties! You can't even tell that it's the lighter version, and neither can the boys! :) I love making this in my mini crockpot, it makes the chicken SO tender. Serve with celery, chips or crackers! It makes enough to fill a large cereal bowl, so you may need to double the batch if you're having a BIG party. I found that if you leave it heating in the crock pot for too long, it will start to dry out though, so I wouldn't leave it cooking all night.
Ingredients:
4 oz reduced fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup fat free sour cream
1/2 cup Frank's hot sauce
1/2-3/4 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup Ranch Dressing (I use light)
2 cups (2 breasts) cooked shredded chicken (I just boil the chicken for about 20 min then shred it)
Directions:
Mix the first 5 ingredients together. Add the chicken and put this in a small crockpot on low for 3-4 hours, or high for 1 hour. Serve warm. Makes 5 1/2 cups.
cheesy turkey meat loaf minis
I love my Cooking Light magazines. This recipe was in the February edition, and it ROCKS! It's healthy and flavorful, my husband kept asking me if it was really ground turkey because it tastes just like beef! Try it, you won't be disappointed :).
Ingredients:
cooking oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup ketchup, divided
3 ounces white cheddar cheese, diced (I used Pepperjack)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (I just used about a tsp of dried parsley)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp dijon mustard
3/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1.5 lbs ground turkey (or ground sirloin)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Directions:
1.) Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2.) Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic, saute 3 minutes.
3.) Combine onion mixture, breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup ketchup, and remaining ingredients.
4.) Shape into 6 (4 x 2 inch) loaves and place on a pan coated with cooking spray.
{I like to put aluminum foil on top of a baking sheet, then a cooling rack on top of the aluminum foil, and then spray it all with cooking spray, so the aluminum foil catches any fat drippings and the meatloaves don't sit in it!}
5.) Spread 2 teaspoons of ketchup over each meatloaf. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes or until done.
