Tuna Salad Filled Cherry Tomatoes
Prepare Tuna Salad, adding the italian seasoning, salt & pepper. Cut off the top of each cherry tomato and scoop out center with spoon. Fill the tomato with tuna salad and place on your platter/plate. If the tomato wants to roll, cut a bit off of the bottom to flatten. Great for parties.
Say What?!?!
Okay, so this started out as an apple and cinnamon water, but as I was putting it together I just started throwing other things in….. sooooo anyway, here is what we got:
Vanilla Blueberry Apple Cinnamon Water
Put all ingredients together and refrigerate overnight. Drink off water for the next two days, you can add water, vanilla and honey to the mixture if you run out, but pitch after two days.
Insect Repellent Spray
Combine ingredients in a spray bottle. spray on skin before going outdoors. You can also spritz on your outdoor furniture and other things in the area you are going to be hanging around in.
Beef and Cabbage Soup
Put the beef, 24 oz of the chicken broth, the garlic, and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper in a large pot on the stove. Add water until meat is covered. Cook on low to med-low until meat is fully cooked. Drain and break up meat to desired size. Place beef back in pot. Add the reserved cup of chicken broth, apple juice, cabbage, tomatoes, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper. Add water until you see the liquid, DO NOT completely immerse everything, just bring fluid levels to about 1/4-1/2″ from the top of your stuff. Cook on low to med-low for approx 1 hour until cabbage is tender.
Softer Bread Recipe
Add ingredients in order to bread machine. Cook on whole wheat setting if your machine has it. Yields 2-2.5 lb loaf.
Yes, this IS the butt end of the loaf, when it got done, we plowed through most of it before I realized I needed a photo for this post, so here is another picture of my sandwich with tuna salad.
Tuna Salad with Garlic, Onion and Parsley
This was a delicious addition to our breakfast. I hadn’t planned on adding it to the blog, but it was too tasty not to share.
Fried Apples w/ Cinnamon
Melt butter on low in a large skillet. Add the rest of the ingredients, mix well, cover and cook on low until desired tenderness. I cooked mine on super low for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
ooo-la-la!!!! Crockpot, oh how I love thee! This recipe is a winner, winner, chicken dinner!!! I put the if you use your own or fresh measurements or if you buy organic in a can measurements, I like to do fresh when I can, but let’s be real; it ain’t always happenin’!
Tex-Mex Chicken
Place chicken along the bottom of your crock pot, sprinkle 4 T of the Taco Seasoning over the chicken, continue layering with rest of the ingredients in the order listed, ending with sprinkling the second 4 T of Taco Seasoning over the top. Cover and let cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours. Stir, shredding chicken as you do, serve with tortillas (we use whole wheat ones with this, yum). Add guacamole, sour cream etc for extra yum!
Yep, I made that plunge. 😉 Your’e Welcome.
Toothpaste
Mix all ingredients together. Store in sealed container on your counter. You can experiment with other flavors etc. I have heard of people using other mint oils in place of the peppermint. Make it your own.
Beef Burritos
Combine beef, chicken broth, 1 c water, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder and turmeric and cook on very low heat in pot on stove for two hours or in a crock pot on low for 4-6 hours. Reserve 1/4 broth from this after meat is done. Drain meat. Add meat and reserved broth back to pot. Add taco seasoning and 1/2 c water and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted. Serve with taco or tortilla shells.
