No Matter What You Call This, It Is a Hit In Our House!

A few years after John and I got married John’s mom gave us a super thoughtful gift. She had one of John’s favorite recipes that was still on the index recipe card and had it framed for us. We have moved us several times and some of our decor has changed but one thing we have had with us is that framed recipe card.

I love the bent edges and the smeared writing in the corner, but what I love most are all the memories we have made while eating one of these amazing breakfast dishes. Truth be told I love this for brunch. It is super light and is the perfect way to hold your family favorite topping. Sometimes we just squeeze fresh lemons over the top and dust with powdered sugar.

I know one year I had several of my daughter’s friends at our house for a week. I think those girls ate more “Poofta” in one week than most Americans eat during their lifetime. Yes, it really is that good and so easy you will probably find yourself wanting to make this more often. Think of a crepe only a baked!

I don’t know if it was the Poofta, the fact that they had stayed up all night sharing  girl talk, or just being together, but it was Yes, it really is that good and so easy you will probably find yourself wanting to make this more often. Think of a crepe only a baked!

This is what Maria of Homemade living has to say about her Paula Deen Inspired recipe.

This Dutch Baby pancake is baked in the oven and is deliciously light and airy, and tastes so good with a generous dusting of powdered sugar and topped with sweet and juicy cooked apples!

Not only is this a beautiful dish it is totally packed with flavor you don’t want to miss.

I used to make this with ham and cheese, but making this with taco meat is an absolute stroke of genius.

I know that this recipe from Pillsbury said it is for 8 people, but there is no way my family would have been able to eat this and not walk away hungry so I used to make two of these.

Being able to have ingredients on hand for when life is busy is not only a healthier option it is so much better on the budget.

Buying the tubes of crescent rolls isn’t the cheapest, but I have usually been able to find these on sale from time to time and the shelf life is pretty decent so next time you think about it of see these, go ahead and buy a few tubes.Plus, it is cheaper than driving through a fast food line.

I had a tube of dough on hand one Sunday not long ago, my teen was working on homework, my husband was resting up for the busy week ahead. I tossed one of these in the oven. The fact that is was filled with hot meat and cheese made everyone smile. A snack isn’t always just a cookie or a banana, sometimes you need something a little more.

After it was finished off I got a heartfelt Thank you! And since I served it onto paper plates, right from the cookie sheet. the mess was super minimal. Hey, I need a break every once in a while as well!

This is what Pillsbury has to say about this super simple but smashing success.

This taco-filled crescent ring is the perfect meal for Taco Night! Dress it up with fresh shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and taco sauce for a fun twist on tacos!

With this recipe, you don’t even have to fire up the grill.

I am loving the summer days, but the thought of cooking up something hot and heavy just does not appeal to me. Yet there is something about the summer sizzle that rocks the menu.

Plus, this is the kind of salad that is a full meal and can be served for lunch at the lake, or evening after a hard day at work. Add some tortilla chips and fresh salsa and you are pretty set. Margarita’s are optional!

I am such a huge fan of cooking ahead, so I will make twice as much of this chicken and put half in the freezer so when I want to have this dish again all I have to do it reheat and add to a fresh bed of lettuce and produce.

Need something even more portable? Wrap up this in a large tortilla and you are ready to go!

Here  is what Katrina of Cafe Delites has to say about her sizzling hot salad.

Red chilli flakes…freshly squeezed lime juice…coriander (sub it out if you don’t like it, but man it’s good in this), garlic…cumin… so many flavours that dance together and create a steamy love affair on your tongue.

When you think about it, the ingredients of this Frozen Yogurt are actually good for you!~ The Greek yogurt and strawberries are perfect together and with only a few more ingredients, a blender, and room in the freezer, and you are set for cooling off!
I was thinking that this might also be good to make into small individual cups or better yet, popsicle containers.

I love that this recipe uses strawberries, but to be honest when I was looking up fast and easy summer recipes, the ones that really kept [popping out were the ones that didn’t require an Ice Cream Freezer.

You only need a blender for this one. I can’t believe I didn;t try this sooner. Plus,

I can’t believe I didn;t try this sooner. Plus, ice cream doesn’t always set too well with me. It is too heavy and rich. Using yogurt is a game changer for me.

I know there are a lot of people who make their own Greek yogurt, but I am totally OK to just buy it from the store, After all, a mom can only do so much!
This is what Tiffany of You’ll Feel Great in 8 has to say about this family favorite.

You only need 5 minutes and 4 healthy real food ingredients to make this Homemade Strawberry Frozen Yogurt – No ice cream maker required! At only 100 calories per serving, you’ll love this sweet guilt-free dessert!
