A little while back I was on a mission to use up a bunch of food in my pantry before a big move. I had a full box of unopened corn flakes that I wasn’t sure what to do with. I knew I could use them for Cornflake Crusted Chicken, but I’d still have a ton leftover to deal with.  When I came across this recipe at Sticky, Gooey, Cream, Chewy, which Susan called the ‘Holycraptheseareamazing Cookies,’ I knew I had hit the jackpot.

Creamy Parmesan Tomatoes are a simple side dish consisting of roasted tomatoes topped with a creamy Parmesan spread. It is very customizable, just use whatever seasoning you are in the mood for, such as Italian, Cajun, or garlic. We used a blend fromPenzeys called Fox Point that had a mix of salt, shallots, chives, garlic, onion and green peppercorns. Tasty and easy. Ready for the recipe?

Taco Soup 2

During the winter months, I crave soups, chilis and stews.  This past Christmas, my in-laws made taco soup for dinner instead of the traditional holiday menu and I have been craving it again this week.  I finally made a pot on the stovetop last night and it was SO yummy and, of course, easy. (I only do easy, people)

Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars are great for when you aren’t in the mood to make pie crust from scratch. Chewy and chocolaty. It is hard to go wrong when you are dealing with pecans and chocolate. Most of the ingredients in this recipe are ones that we have on hand at all times, so it is great for a spur of the moment sweet treat.
