10. If you are looking for a different way to make potatoes to go along with your meat, this is the recipe for you. Every one in my family loves these potatoes. Crispy and savory, they complement either steak or pork chops beautifully: Pioneer Woman’s hot crash potatoes.

9. Country Club Breakfast was one of my signature breakfast casseroles when I went to Mothers of Preschoolers. I’ve also made it for family brunches and Christmas morning. Make it the night before, and then throw it in the oven for an hour in the morning. Delicious!

8. There’s nothing like making soup on a snow day, and we’ve had plenty of snow days this winter! This Potato Soup is one of my favorites to make. The time spent cooking it on the stove is worth the final product.

7. My family loves Taco Night! I serve crispy corn taco shells and flour tortillas, and then everyone gets to make their own taco.

6. About 5 years ago, I compared making homemade pizza to ordering carry out pizza. Homemade pizza wins! I tell you how I make homemade pizza here: Ooh, Ahh, Pizza!

5. This chicken casserole is my go-to recipe when I’m out of dinner ideas.

Cheesy Chicken with Croutons

4 Chicken Breasts
4 slices of cheddar cheese
1 can cream of celery soup
1/4 cup cooking sherry
croutons
butter

Place chicken breasts in a 9X13 inch pan. Lay cheese slices on top of chicken. Mix soup and sherry together, and pour over chicken and cheese. Sprinkle with croutons. Dot with butter. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Serve over rice or noodles.

4. I make Mom’s Chili in the crock pot or on the stove. I serve it with homemade corn bread, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onions and oyster crackers. Perfect for a cold winter’s night! And then there’s always leftovers for lunch the next day.

3. I found this recipe for Spinach Artichoke Chicken on Pinterest, and my whole family loves it!


2. When Gretchen shared this cookie recipe on her blog, I literally squealed with joy. They sounded just like the cookies my Grandma used to bake and store in a clean coffee can. I’ve served them at my church’s coffee hour and also at home, and they get rave reviews every time I bake them. (I keep the nuts out.)Chcago Crunchy Cookies 2

Tips and Tricks: Bunny Pops!

Last week I tried to make cake pops for Tips and Tricks Tuesday. They were a disaster.

I made the cake crumbs too small, added too much frosting, and didn’t have a proper holder for the cake pops to dry after I dipped them. They tasted horrible (too much frosting, not enough cake) and they kept falling off the sticks.

Since the cake pops weren’t cooperating for me, I decided to go with marshmallow pops for an easy Easter treat instead. I had a lot of success with Candy Corn Marshmallow Pops for Halloween, so why not?

To make these Bunny Marshmallow Pops, you will need:

lollipop sticks
regular sized marshmallows
dark chocolate candy melts
green candy melts (or use candy melt gel colors to dye white candy melts)
green colored coconut flakes (optional)
bunny peeps

Melt the dark chocolate candy melts with a double boiler or in the microwave. Dip the marshmallows in the chocolate and allow the candy to set completely. While the chocolate is setting, prepare your green chocolate. Using a kitchen shears, snip the heads of the bunny peeps off of the body. Feel free to sing “Little Bunny Foo-Foo” as you snip (for field mice revenge).

We used a small colander to hold some of the pops, but it didn’t hold that many, so I also placed some in water glasses.

When the chocolate is set, dip the tops into green candy melts. I thought it would be cute to add green coconut also, but I didn’t have any. (Typical!) Press the bunny head into the green candy and let it set.
