What's Cooking Wednesday, February 6th

Happy hump day friends!  It’s time to share yet another recipe.  This one, while not entirely WW friendly, could be adjusted to make it more WW friendly.  However, I was primarily making these for my children for lunch so it wasn’t really necessary to change it up.  This was a big hit with my gang.

 Easy Baked Taquitos
3 Cups of Shredded Chicken
4 oz. of Cream Cheese, softened
1.5 Cups of Mexican or Cheddar Cheese
3 Teaspoons of Chili Powder
1 Teaspoon of Cumin
0.5 teaspoon of Salt
16-20 Corn Tortillas

 After combining the chicken, cream cheese and cheese, microwave it for between 30 and 60 seconds.  After microwaving, add your seasonings and mix to combine.  Warm your tortillas, I warm mine in the microwave.  Be prepared this is a bit of a messy recipe.  I put approximately 1/3 or less of the chicken mixture on the tortilla and roll it up.  I put it seam down on the baking sheet.  Once they were all done, I put them in a 425 degree oven for around 15 minutes.  These were really good.

 I hope you enjoy them as much as my gang did!  I think I am going to try a variation of this in the air fryer and perhaps with beans for a meatless option.  This was definitely easy to grab for quick lunch preparation, but these also freeze well.  Let me know if you take the time to try them!

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

Savings Saturday, May 3rd

 As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it.  We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles.  The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic.  My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were:  Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes. Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes. So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00 Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00. I have decided to only do a puzzle on the weekdays, but not the weekends for this challenge.  Why?  Being honest, there are some days/some weeks, like end of the month that get a bit overwhelming.  Only doing a puzzle 5 days per week, gives me an opportunity to do one on the weekend if the ...
