CHEESY TOT CASSEROLE

I saw this recipe on my Facebook and I just have

to get it posted on here not only for any of you

who might have missed it but also so I have easy

access to it myself....

4 ingredients and so quick to make...

and it's a meal in itself...unless of course you want

to add a salad or vegetable or something with it...

I'm thinking this one will be made a lot in

our house as of now...

enjoy!

...recipe here...

thank you Sara!

UPDATE:  I made this one for supper tonight and it was just fantastic!

I did use Cream of Chicken soup

and added a little chopped onion to the meat mixture.  I have to say this

casserole is one of the best I have tried yet!

I divided it out into my ramekins so I would know exactly how much

sodium I was eating as opposed to putting it in a larger bowl and

just guessing at it...

I put some American cheese under the potatoes and then

sprinkled a little sharp shredded cheddar on top and

let it melt a few minutes before we ate...

love this recipe!!

CHEESE & ONION MUFFIN CAKE

Whenever I have something like a pork roast cooking

for the day I find myself scanning the internet for side dish

recipes...I always find lots of interesting ones and this is the

one I came across while looking today...

I love cheese and I love onion...so I love this recipe!

....the texture of this muffin cake looks great...

I won't make it today but I think next time I make chili it would be

a great side....

CROCHET BRACELET WITH A BUTTON

I am always looking for simple little crocheted bracelet

use on any project they work for...there's just something

about buttons!

...so...this one is for all of you crochet lovers out there...

we need keep this talent going so it does not become a lost art in the

future....

left-over yarn too...

RICE KRISPY TREAT POPPERS

This is a pretty neat idea I think...

you make Rice Krispy treats and instead of putting into

a pan and cutting into bars you put them in ice cube trays...

...such a simple idea and this way if you like just a couple

bites of a treat you have it...

...she also adds to them by dipping them in white chocolate

and sprinkles...wish I had thought of this back in my daycare years....

DUMP AND BAKE PIZZA PASTA CASSEROLE

I really love these dump and bake meals......

they are quick, easy and inexpensive to put together

so I am sure they are wonderful for busy working parents

who need to come home at supper time and make something

quick for themselves and their family....these are perfect for that...

they usually are made up of ingredients that we all have on

hand most of the time too so no need to stop at the store

on the way home....

look how delicious and tempting this looks!
