Last one for today, I swear....

My recipes and meals are simple and delicious. I am making this claim: It isn’t always healthy!!! My food isn’t necessarily for those on a diet or looking to live a healthier lifestyle. However, if you like easy meals that taste good, I’m your girl!

I think I may have an unhealthy addiction and need for cream of chicken soup.....

Don’t judge me.

Method to my Madness

Before I get too far into this, I’d like to explain how I organize my mealtimes. For years I was a 4 o’clock dinner mom. I would go about my busy life and not worry about what I was making for dinner until 4 o’clock. My dinners frequently repeated weekly and soon my husband, Steve, was complaining that we ate way too much pizza (or other things.) I started watching The Food Nanny , a show that inspired me to get more organized. Her program was 2 weeks of planned meals. Her tip was to make each night of the week a theme, so you had somewhere to start for meal ideas. This appealed to me, and I quickly printed off her 2 week schedule and started. Two weeks isn’t very long, and I quite enjoyed the added benefit of my special needs son knowing what was for dinner. He has an obsessive disorder and this small knowledge went a long way with him. Pretty soon I became a pro at the two week meal plan and pushed myself to make a monthly menu. After all, I didn’t want to repeat a meal throughout...

Soft Sugar Cookies and Buttercream Frosting 

We have used these recipes for years. Neither is figure friendly, but they are so delicious.  Dawnyel’s soft sugar cookies  1 cup shortening  2 cups sugar  1 cup sour cream 3 eggs 5 cups flour 1 tsp. Salt 1 tsp. Baking soda 1 tsp. Vanilla Mix together and chill for an hour. Roll out and bake at 375 degrees for 5-8 minutes. Buttercream Frosting  1 cup room temperature butter  1 cup shortening  Whip together. Add 5-8 cups powdered sugar  3-5 Tbsp milk 1 tsp flavoring (my personal favorite is coconut extract) 1 tsp vanilla Mix until the right consistency. If it’s too loose, add more sugar, if it’s too stiff, add more milk. My frosting always tastes better than canned frosting! And it’s easy to make. I just end up covered in powder.

My mom told me this recipe. It’s so dangerous because it’s so easy! In fact, I made some recently and we’ll just say that half the pan is gone.  Easy fudge 2 cans sweetened condensed milk  3 cups chocolate chips  Melt in microwave safe bowl do 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds after 2 minutes.  2 cups mini marshmallows  Gently fold into the melted mixture and either allow to melt fully for a smooth fudge or stir until they barely melt, immediately pour into greased 9x13 inch baking pan and let cool. (I made mint fudge by adding 2 cups of mint chips and 2 cups chocolate chips, it was super yummy!)
