I think I may have a NEW dinner routine. The routine used to be: prepare food, set the table, sit down, bless it, enjoy it! Now (occasionally…depending on what’s for dinner) the routine is: prepare food, set the table, sit down, bless it, take photo with iPhone for possible use on blog, enjoy it. :o) I wanted to share this recipe because it’s delicious! It’s my son’s favorite meal, so that right there, is SAYING A LOT!

Is it just the area where I live?….or is it difficult to find a grocery stores that sells canned tomatillos elsewhere too??? I finally found a store that carries them, but WOWZA! $3.18 per can?!?! I bought a few cans then promptly came home and checked on Amazon. HELLO!…they were $1.84 a can! Yes, I now have a NEW way of buying tomatillos! I need them for this FANTASTIC recipe (see below).
I stray from the recipe slightly and use a quesadilla maker:
I also use the GREAT TIP of sprinkling cheese directly on the grill, which I learned at Redheaded Hostess …(she has other great ideas for quesadillas too)! If you try these, let me know what you think! Have an awesome day!
Hi all! Ok…today I’m going to share with you the easiest recipe EVER!!! It is definitely NOT gourmet…for gourmet, I’d recommend you hop over to NR11: English Kitchen Baking for a great recipe for Quince Chutney! Maybe someday I’ll get to that level.
BUT…this stuff is really yummy on breakfast toast! I should really call it Dump-Apple-Butter, because all you do is:
Dump one 2-3 lb jar of applesauce into a microwave-safe bowl. Dump 1 cup sugar into the bowl. Dump 1 teaspoon each of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice into the bowl. Stir and microwave until a bit thicker (I cook mine about 10 minutes). That’s it! You can definitely use homemade applesauce if you’d like to!
Try something NEW today….even if it’s REALLY easy :o)
You may already know this about me…but I LOVE efficiency! I have so many things I want to be doing and if I can do things quicker and more efficiently, it’ll totally make my day! A few weeks ago, my two youngest sons had their birthdays (same day…three years apart), so I was busy making a cake and an ice cream cake. The ice cream cake had whipped cream as ‘frosting’, and so I tried whipping the cream in my blender since I had just read this post on One Good Thing By Jillee blog. OH.MY.GOODNESS!!!!!….It was whipped within SECONDS! I’ll admit it wasn’t totally light and fluffy, but for the purpose of frosting an ice cream cake, it didn’t need to be. A few weeks later, I experimented, and timed myself as I whipped it my ‘old’ way, and the new way:
Old Way = 7 minutes, 11 seconds = light and fluffy, and my 1 cup of cream about doubled to 2 cups. Tip: Put a metal bowl and beaters in the refrigerator to chill before whipping your cream. (They say it whips faster). The picture of this method is at the top of the post.
Quick Way – 18 seconds!!!! = not as fluffy, but it all tastes the same, right!? Here’s a pic of the blender batch. 18 seconds!!! I do have a pretty powerful blender (Vita-Mix), so that probably helped.
If I need totally gorgeous, fluffy cream, I’ll take the time and beat the cream…but when it doesn’t matter….I’m totally going with my NEW method! Have a great day y’all! Try something NEW!
I guess I’m not the only one with lots of ‘pins’ on my Pinterest boards with REALLY good intentions of making or baking or trying out whatever we pinned! But ya know…..there’s only so many hours in a day, right? However, I got just the kick in the pants I needed when I saw this post at Miss Marzipan. She was trying out the same Blueberry Danish that I had planned to. The recipe was originally posted at Chef In Training and I had already bought all the ingredients, so after reading that post, I commented on her site that she inspired me to get busy….right then! It’s a good thing to get a kick in the pants now and again!
I do NOT think pots and pans were created to live in cupboards….they are just too oddly shaped and it typically isn’t efficient use of space. Am I right? I prefer to hang my pots and pans. I’ve loved my curtain rod in my pantry, which I’ve had for a few years now, but I recently added a NEW second rod. {see the old/single rod below}
What’s great is the second rod only took up a couple more inches of pantry space, and I can hang twice as many pots and pans. SCorE! I love efficiency…especially brand-spankin’-NEW efficiency!
