Manic Monday Recipe~Brunch Enchiladas

2012-05-21T20:32:00.000-05:00

I found this recipe in the Taste of Homes 2001 Annual Recipes Cookbook and decided to try it. I am so glad that I did. We are the family that loves breakfast for dinner, so that's what we made it for, but obviously this is a great choice for a brunch with the family or friends. It can sit over night, meaning little prep in the morning! I hope you enjoy the recipe!

Make sure to come back on Wednesday for my Share the Wealth Link Party, it's open until Sunday each week!

Ingredients:

2 C. Cubed Fully Cooked Ham

1/2 C. Chopped Onions

10 (8 inch) Tortillas

2 C. Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Divided)

1 Tbsp. All-Purpose Flour

2 C. Half-and-Half Cream or Milk

6 Eggs Beaten

1/4 tsp. Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Combine Ham, onions and 1 C. Cheese.

Sprinkle Mixture onto each tortilla. Roll the tortilla and place in a greased baking dish seam side down.

In a bowl, combine flour, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper. Pour over tortillas. Cover and refrigerate overnight if you are prepping. Let it sit out a 1/2 hour before baking.)

Other wise, bake covered at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 more minutes with remaining 1 cup cheese sprinkled over enchiladas.

Manic Monday Recipe~ Cinnamon Roll Apple Pies

2012-05-14T16:52:00.000-05:00

This is ridiculously good! I found this great recipe in Taste of Homes 5-Ingredient Cookbook. I made a few modifications to the recipe and love how it turned out. (It was originally made to be a pizza.)

Make sure to come back on Wednesday for my Share the Wealth Link Party, it's open until Sunday each week!

Ingredients:
1 Tube of Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls

1 Can (21 oz.) Apple Pie Filling

1/4 C. Brown Sugar

1 Tbsp. Melted Butter

Directions:
Set cinnamon roll icing aside, and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Then roll each cinnamon roll so that it is about 1 cm. thick.

Place the cinnamon rolls onto a greased cookie sheet. Tin foil makes for an easy cleanup!

Bake the cinnamon rolls for about 6-8 minutes. This way you don't have a doughy center and will help keep your apples from sliding off the rolls. Then place a small heap of apple pie filling onto the center of your roll.

Mix the brown sugar and melted butter together. Crumble the mixture over each of your mini pies.

Bake for another 7 minutes. Then drizzle each pie with icing.

Manic Monday Recipe~ Breaded Pork Chops & Smashed Potatoes

2012-05-08T14:39:00.000-05:00

I guess yesterday was MANIC, I didn't remember to post this recipe! I am so excited to share this with you all. I made it last week for the fam. and wanted to post it then. Please try this, it's easy and so DELICIOUS! I modified it a bit from the original recipe. The recipe is from Taste of Home's 5 Ingredient Cookbook.

Make sure to come back on Wednesday for my Share the Wealth Link Party, it's open until Sunday each week!

Ingredients (Pork Chops):

1 C. Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs

2 T. Grated Parmesan Cheese

1/2 C. Ranch Dressing

4-6 Pork Chops

Directions:

Brown each side of your chops for about 2 minutes each. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix bread crumbs and cheese in a shallow dish.

Place browned chops in ranch dressing and coat.

Then, place the ranch coated chops into your bread crumb and cheese mixture.

Place on a greased pan or cookie sheet, and bake uncovered for 55 minutes. (use a meat thermometer to check that it is cooked thoroughly.) If you flatten out your pork chops before browning, baking time can be reduced to about 25-30 minutes.

Ingredients (Smashed Potatoes):

2-3 Pounds Potatoes Chopped into small Chunks

3 Tbsp. Butter or Olive Oil

3 Tbsp. Lemon Juice

2 Tbsp. Parsley

Salt and Pepper to Taste

Directions:

Boil potatoes until tender.

Drain and place potatoes into a frying pan. Drizzle with Lemon Juice, Butter/Olive Oil, and Parsley. Stir occasionally allowing potatoes to fall apart and brown a bit. Cook for an addition 10 minutes. Finish with salt and pepper.

Manic Monday Recipe~ Mini Tacos

2012-04-24T13:42:00.000-05:00

Yeah, I like some taco with my sour cream ;)

I saw this amazing recipe from Emily Bites and knew I had to try them. I hadn't planned on sharing them on my blog, but they were THAT GOOD! The hubs asked if I could make them every week! Seriously these are a must try.

Get my recipe for Guacamole and Mexican Rice!

Make sure to come back on Wednesday for my Share the Wealth Link Party, it's open until Sunday each week!

Ingredients:

Olive Oil

1 lb Ground Beef/Chicken/Turkey

DIY~ Summer Wreath

2012-04-24T13:12:00.000-05:00

I've always loved the yarn wrapped wreath look, but I found a new way to jazz it up a bit thanks to The 36th Avenue Blog. She added pearl head pins to add a special touch. I loved it! So I decided to create one with vibrant summer colors using that same idea. Hope it inspires you to create a new look for your front door!

Make sure to come back on Wednesday for my Share the Wealth Link Party, it's open until Sunday each week!

Wreath Materials:

Wreath Form

Yarn

Fabric Circles in Various sizes and colors

Ribbon to hang wreath

Directions:

Wrap the wreath with your yarn. It is okay to go over the same spot if you get gaps, just keep the yarn taught so that it doesn't get all bumpy. The yarn will smooth out and find crevices to sit in.

Once you have your yarn wrapped, add pins sporadically.

To create your flower, fold your circle in half twice, so that you have a triangular shape. Fluff the opening a bit, and use a stick pin to stick into the wreath form. Just repeat that process a few times to create the desired flower.

DIY Quilted Tote Bag

2012-04-10T14:43:00.002-05:00

I am in LOVE with this bag! I was so excited to learn how to make it, but even more excited to use it. In fact, I bought more fabric for two more bags! I'll upload those photos once I get them done! You can get the fabulous tutorial from Quilts Illustrated for $9.00. (I have no affiliation with this site, I just loved the bag so much, that I had to share it!)

The friends that I created this with decided to make a few changes to the bag.

Rather than having two 9x9 pockets inside, we chose to use one 4x9 pocket and one 9x9 pocket. I only used one button on the front pocket. You can choose to put one at each of the corners where your fabric meet. If you are newer to quilting, this will help hide corners that don't line up. FYI, once I got to sewing the fusible fleece, I used a denim/jean needle. Here are some more photos of my bag. Let me know if you have any questions!

Manic Monday Recipe~Russian Tea

2012-04-09T16:11:00.000-05:00

While the weather has been warm for about a month down here in Texas, I know some of readers in the North could use a new warm drink recipe. For some of you, this may be a family tradition, but I got my first taste of Russian Tea just early this year. A friend of mine makes it every year during the holidays, but it is so good that it can be enjoyed year round. You can make a quick batch and give it as holiday gifts, housewarming gifts, or even as a get well gift. Enjoy this version of the recipe that my friend Jenna shared with me!

Make sure to come back on Wednesday for my Share the Wealth Link Party, it's open until Sunday each week!

Ingredients:

2 Cups Tang

1.5 C. Sugar

2/3 C. Country Time Lemonade

1 C. Instant Tea

1 Tbl. Cinnamon

1 tsp. Ground Cloves

Directions:

Mix all ingredients thoroughly and seal in an air tight container like a glass jar or zip bag.

Directions for drink:

Mix approximately 2 heaping teaspoons of the mixture to 1 cup of warm water. Add more or less to satisfy your taste buds!

Manic Monday Recipe~ Sloppy Joes From Scratch

2012-04-03T15:36:00.000-05:00

Not having anything planned for dinner tonight, I decided to search through my cupboard and fridge. I had 2 pounds of ground beef and lots of hamburger buns. We really weren't in the mood for hamburgers, but sloppy joes sounded really good. I didn't have any Manwich though :( I knew I had things to make it from scratch, so I searched and found one on AllRecipes. I made a few adjustments to my recipe and I don't think I'll ever go back to the "can!" I wanted to get some veggies into the sandwich, so I added some carrots. You can add many different veggies to this like squash, zucchini, tomatoes, etc.

Make sure to come back on Wednesday for my Share the Wealth Link Party, it's open until Sunday each week!

Ingredients:
2 pounds lean ground beef

1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped carrots
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
3/4 cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons BBQ Sauce

1 "6" ounce can tomato paste
1 "10" ounce can diced tomatoes with chilis

Directions:

In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the carrots, onions, and green peppers. Once they are tender, add the beef. Cook and drain off liquids.

After the meat is cooked, stir in the mustard, ketchup, tomato paste, and brown sugar; mix thoroughly.

Add BBQ Sauce and Diced Tomatoes. Mix well and salt and pepper to taste.

Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.
