Food
With a family of six I certainly have my share of home cooking and baking to do. Call us a frugal family if you like but we have learned some highly economical tricks to our meal planning. I am proud to say that I am considered quite the wizard in the kitchen. Deliciously tasty these are my favorite breakfast, lunch, dinner, beverage, and snack recipes. I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine do.
Homemade Pumpkin Pie Filling:
It has become a tradition at my home on Thanksgiving to bake a number of pumpkin pies to share with visiting guests and also friends and family who are celebrating birthdays around this time of year. My pie recipe has been refined over time to become one of my prized baked dishes.
Chocolate Chip Cake With Banana Base:
When you add banana into your dessert recipes it adds a healthy twist that is nutritious, filling, and tasty. It's that little extra flavour that turns delightful into delicious. So pull out your chocolate chips and let's get baking. Your kids are going to enjoy this treat.
Soft Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies:
The secret to a good chocolate chip cookie is to insure that it is never over cooked. I learned this early and my cookie recipe has yet to fail me. They come out deliciously perfect every time and my kids literally line up to wait for them to get out of the oven. I'm sure you will enjoy this tasty treat as much as my family does.
Bacon Sundae Dessert Recipe:
Ohhhh you bacon lovers are so going to love this. Now you can have bacon for dessert. Yes, that is what I said. Bacon now is available in a sundae and it is so crispy crunchy munchy delicious that my tummy starts tingling just thinking about it. (Did I happen to mention that I am a tried and true bacon addict?) It is an addiction that I really never do want to break.
Lazy Cabbage Roll Casserole Recipe:
I love cabbage rolls but I really do not like the all the work involved. That is the reason why I make my version without the roll. Call it a casserole or a stew this meal has all the flavour of the traditional Ukrainian dish without the work. This recipe is easy.
Homemade Shake and Bake Chicken Seasoning:
If you love coated fried chicken but hate the high cost of those little packages of seasoning mix then I have a treat for you. I decided I was going to make my own and it came out insanely delicious and now my recipe is also yours to enjoy.
Alfredo Pasta Sauce Recipe:
This is one of the easiest gourmet meals you can make. It is also highly versatile meaning that the sauce can be combined with a number of pastas and meats to create a different meal each time you make it. It looks fantastic and tastes delicious. Perfect for casual or formal dining with family and friends. Give it a try.
7 Layer Cream Cheese Party Dip:
A different flavor sensation in every bite. If there is one dip that you should have at every event you host this is it. Containing 7 layers this dip will have your guests requesting the recipe. My friends love it so guess what dish I am asked to bring to every event we attend?
Bacon Wrapped Sweet Chili Chicken Appetizer:
If you love bacon then you will love this barbecue chicken appetizer. For a delightful finger food or a quick protein snack it is ideal. It's truly a meat lover's treat and perfect to serve on any party buffet. Your friends will love it.
World's Best Meatloaf Recipe:
Spicy and sweet this is a hamburger recipe that will have your friends asking for the recipe. I have received more compliments for this basic meal fare than I can count on my fingers and toes combined. A family favourite in our house I am sure it will be in yours too.
Deep Fried Bacon Potato Appetizer Recipe:
This is one of those comfort foods that you greedly devour as you watch your favorite television show. Bursting with flavor this is one snack food that is beyond difficult to resist. It's got bacon. BACON! That is the one ingredient that makes it impossible for anyone to resist.
How to Make Homemade Baby Food:
Don't be afraid to try your hand at making your own baby food. There are so many foods that are delightfully easy to puree and freeze and that is really all it takes to make your child's food in your home. The benefits are many. You can go organic and control the salt, sugar, and preservatives that are added into your child's food.
Pizza Panini Sandwich Grill Style:
Now most folks would make a Panini sandwich in a Panini pan but when I decided on this item for dinner I didn't quite have the suggested equipment. Fortunately for my kids what I did have was a George Foreman grill and it worked out just as well. Our dinner came out perfectly grilled on both sides just as it was supposed to.
Protein Breakfast Bites:
Deliciously tasty small bites of protein packed tidbits. For the busy family on the go this recipe is perfect. It is so quick and easy to make. Toss the ingredients together, roll them into balls, toss them into the fridge and you are done. Yum! No more pulling into a drive through for a quick fix greasy fast food breakfast, you are powered up to go with this high energy meal.
Bacon Infused Pancakes Recipe:
Around my home bacon is one of those meats that my family is always hoping to see make an appearance on our table. To surprise them I upped up my pancake recipe by adding bacon right into the batter. It was a hit. So pull out your syrup and enjoy.
