---------------------------------------------------------I shouldn't have made these pecan sticky buns tonight, but I had wanted to get rid of some dough that was leftover. This recipe I found on myrecipes.com and it is from the magazine Real Simple. These sticky buns were REAL SIMPLE to make. Nothing much else to say about the sticky buns.Look forward to more posts this weekend and new recipes this next week. I'm looking forward to a new meatloaf recipe from the Biggest Looser cook ... continue reading...

Trader Joe’s Mandarin Orange Chicken
I first read about Trader Joe's on the Weight Watcher boards. I post there and have found many great recipes on that site. People on that board kept on mentioning all their favorite food that they buy at Trader Joe's and so I googled the store and the closest one by us was is in Maple Grove, MN. I HAD to go there and see what that place was like. The store was almost 300 miles away. :(We travel a lot to Minneapolis because of relatives living there and my mom and I love to go shopping. The ... continue reading...
Canned Biscuit Dough Donuts
-------------------------------------------------Can you guess who's recipe this is? She likes to fry everything, and likes butter. You guessed it, it's Paula Dean! I've eaten 3 of these things so far and I know I must stop, but I can't because they're so good! I didn't have any large biscuits, just small ones. So, no little donut holes were made. I sprinkled them with cinnamon and sugar. A perfect little treat after having fish and chips. We normally don't fry food that ... continue reading...
Fry Fest
Tonight, we had fish and chips and after that I made canned biscuit donuts with cinnamon and sugar. Probably not the most healthiest thing to eat, but my friend Ben over at guygoesgreen.com caught some walleye at Lake of the Woods this weekend and was kind enough to let Ben and I have some. Thanks Ben!!! I love walleye! I hope to catch one this summer if I can, if not a walleye than a Northern. For the Fish I used Alton Brown's recipe for Chips and Fish, but halved it since we didn't have quite ... continue reading...
Raspberry Creamcheese Muffins
Here is a really good muffin recipe I just recently tried. If you are at all familiar with Hungry Girl she sells and has deals for vitatops. A really EXPENSIVE muffin, oh wait it's just the top part of the muffin, that you have to pay $31.00 for 40 muffin tops!!! I can't believe that!? Why pay that much money for a muffin top when you can make these delicious muffins in your own home for less! You can even get them delivered to your front door in 25 minutes, because that is how long it takes to ... continue reading...
Baked Shrimp Scampi
Baked Shrimp ScampiIngredients --------------------------------------------------------As you can tell, I am Shrimp Scampi freak. I've tried a lot of recipes but I think this one is by far the best one I've tried. It is another Ina Garten recipe and it is in her Back to Basics cook book. It is so easy and super simple to make, and it was so good I ate the whole thing. Shrimp Scampi is normally served with noodles, but this recipe really doesn't need the noodles. I think ... continue reading...
dulce de leche
How to make Dulce de leche in your crock pot.1 can of sweetened condensed milk enough water to cover the canTake cover off of the can of sweetened condensed milk. Place in crock pot. Pour enough water in the crock pot so that it covers the can. This is an important step, because if the water isn't covered completely over the can during the whole process it will explode. I boiled mine on high for 4 hours. My slow cooker cooks pretty fast even if the setting is on low. Allow the can to ... continue reading...
