My favorite way to make salsa at home! It’s hard to beat this!

Ingredients:
- 28oz can whole peeled tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 red or white onion, roughly chopped
- 1 handful cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and roughly chopped (leave in seeds for a spicier salsa)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Juice of 1/2 - 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon sugar*

Directions:
1. Add ingredients — whole tomatoes through salt — to a food processor. Add the juice of half a lime, plus the sugar if your canned tomatoes do not contain sugar (if sugar is listed as an ingredient on your canned tomatoes, omit the sugar.)
2. Pulse ingredients until desired consistency is reached then taste and add more lime juice and/or salt if necessary. Refrigerate overnight for best results then serve.

A new recipe for us to switch up our taco Tuesdays! Everyone loved it, but I’m not sure if I’ll make it again or not 🙃

Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth

- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 10 oz Rotel tomatoes, mild
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 3/4 lb small pasta of choice
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in flour, salt, and pepper for about 30 seconds until bubbly. Slowly whisk in chicken broth until smooth.
3. Increase heat to high while whisking until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in cheese and salsa, turn off heat and set aside.
4. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté onions until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.

I’ve made this twice since I originally made this apple dip. This is one from my childhood that we all loved! I made it the other day, and needless to say the kids devoured it! It’s the simplest, and I could eat it by the spoonful!

Ingredients:
1 8oz block of cream cheese
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Your favorite apples

Instructions
Throw all ingredients into a bowl (except apples) and mix with a hand mixer until smooth. Enjoy right away or put in the refrigerator. Cut up apples and dip them in!

I was asked to bring this to thanksgiving, I don’t think I have made this since the last time I was requested to bring it 🙃 The kids love it, but we have moved onto just loving plain Mac and cheese that I make.

I made a double batch in this, but here is the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 cup elbow noodles
1 can corn, drained
1 can creamed corn
1 stick of butter
8oz velveeta cheese diced up

Instructions:
Cook pasta halfway, add to crockpot. Add all of the corn, butter, and cheese to it. Mix it up well. Cook on high for 2 hours and stir occasionally.

Caprese Salad

Ingredients:
For the marinade:
- 1 tbsp dried basil (or 3 tbsp fresh basil, chopped)
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper

For the salad:
- Optional: fresh basil leaves (torn or chiffonaded for garnish)
- ½ large red onion (finely chopped)
- 1½ cups cherry tomatoes (quartered)
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella (cherry-sized balls, halved, or torn into small pieces)
- 1 cucumber (peeled, scored, and diced into 1/2-inch pieces)

Steps:

1. **Prepare the Marinade**: In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, 1 tablespoon of dried basil (or fresh basil), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and set aside.

2. **Prepare the Vegetables**: Peel a washed cucumber, use a fork to scrape the skin to create a textured surface, then slice thinly and dice into small pieces. Place the diced cucumber in a medium-sized bowl.

3. **Add the Tomatoes and Onion**: Quarter the washed cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the diced cucumbers. Thinly slice and dice a red onion, then add it to the bowl with the cucumbers and tomatoes.

4. **Add the Mozzarella**: Slice mozzarella into bite-sized pieces, or use pearl-sized mozzarella balls. Add the mozzarella to the bowl with the cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion.

5. **Combine and Marinate**: Pour the prepared marinade over the vegetables and cheese in the bowl. Mix everything well, ensuring the marinade coats all the ingredients evenly. Allow the salad to sit for 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors develop.

When I had planned to tator tot casserole and didn’t have tator tots 🤦🏻‍♀️ I scrounged the pantry and made something quick. The kids actually enjoyed it and it wasn’t too bad. Next time I would make it with beef broth, but I also didn’t have that on hand.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef, browned
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 cans of chicken broth
1/2 pound noodles
Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:
Brown the beef, once browned add butter and garlic, add seasoning and chicken broth. Let simmer then add noodles and cover and cook until done. Then add cheese and mix until combined.

I have been blamed for keeping people away from people. Although, those who like to place the blame are not doing anything to try and make time for them. Life is sure funny, people place blame on things they can change for themselves. Actions speak louder than your blaming.

Mom bought us the wine advent calendar from Aldi. I’m a little behind on my days, but tonight called for one. I pulled out a white wine, and I remembered I had reusable ice cubes 🧊 in the freezer.

I made snicker apple salad for thanksgiving, I haven’t made it in a long time!

Little tip…the more snickers you add the better it is 😉

Ingredients
1 (8oz) cool whip
4 Granny Smith apples peeled and diced or just diced up
4 snicker candy bars, chunked in small pieces
1 small box instant French vanilla pudding
1 cup milk

Instructions
Mix together pudding and milk and then add the rest of the ingredients, adding apples right before serving. You can soak apples in cold water to prevent browning once diced.
