What's Cookin' Wednesday, Feb. 1st

Awhile back, when I was buying lots of shredded cheese when it was on sale, I saw this recipe on the back of my package of KRAFT Mexican Style Shredded Four Cheese with a Touch of Philadelphia.  I decided to try it.  I generally try to use the cheese sparingly.  Since I don't necessarily buy Taco Bell brand products, I used Pace salsa and whatever taco seasoning I had on hand (or made my own) and I used corn tortillas.  To be honest, I've used refried beans to make it or black beans or tri-colored beans, it just depends on what I had on hand.  I have to tell you that this was a definite favorite of my family.  I'm hoping that we can add this, or one of it's variations to our meal plan again soon.  Have you tried a recipe that you have found on a package and had luck with it?  How do you change recipes that you find to fit your healthy lifestyle?

    I used the recipe on a package to make brownies once, and I misread the tiny print and made WAY too much icing. The kids were teasing me and laughing at me, but I noticed not a crumb was left of those brownies! Not a healthy lifestyle recipe by any means, but at least I can offer the advice to read carefully :)

What's Cooking Wednesday, May 7, 2025

I hesitate to even call this a recipe.  I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years.  My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods.  So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie.  It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese.  I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years.  You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much.  I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

Picnic in the Park Collab

 S’mores Protein Bites Recipe You can find the original recipe  here  from Six Sisters' Stuff.  The one below is the way I prepared it. Ingredients 1½ cups Simple Truth Old Fashioned Oats ¼ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs ½ cup Simple Truth almond butter ½ cup raw honey ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup mini marshmallows ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Instructions Combine all ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet covered with foil or parchment paper. Place in the freezer for about 1 hour, then store in a resealable bag or airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (or in the freezer for up to a month). This original recipe says 15 servings.  I am not sure if I used a smaller scoop but I came out with 25 or so.  There were a couple that were smaller.
