One of my all time favorite snacks to munch on is chex mix. Homemade chex mix is the best. I remember sitting in a big recliner chair at my great grandma's with a giant tub of her homemade chex mix in my lap. I sat there munching away while the adults played a game -- and it was pure happiness. I'm using a crock pot for this recipe, so hopefully it will be even easier! Here's what you'll need: Corn Chex cereal Rice Chex cereal Wheat Chex cereal Pretzel sticks Peanuts Cheerios Butter Worcestershire sauce Garlic powder Onion powder Pour all the cereals, pretzels Continue Reading
Holiday Munchies: Goldfish Snack Mix
The holidays are a time of playing games and bonding as a family, and everybody knows all that quality time makes you hungry. I love having munchies around to snack on during a great game of canasta. Not to mention snacks for traveling and the fun New Year's Eve party. That's why I'm doing a series called Holiday Munchies. Last week in the series, I shared a Garlic Ranch Pretzels recipe. But ya'll know how much I love goldfish (the snack not the kind that actually swims!), so this week I'm sharing a Goldfish Snack Mix with you. These little fishies have a great flavor! And even though they Continue Reading
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
This bread is way better than your normal banana bread. Even my husband loved it and it has chocolate in it! I made it the other day and it was ready and still warm when Travis got home from work. Supper wasn't quite ready yet, so it was the perfect appetizer for him since he walks in the door starving every day. Making my husband happy when he walks in that door brings us both sunshine! Here's what you'll need: Yellow cake mix Eggs Overripe bananas Chocolate chips Mash up the bananas. I think four bananas would be best, but I only had two so I just went with it! (It Continue Reading
The Perfect Pot Roast
The first time I made this meal, Travis practically broke out in applause he loved it so much. And If I could do a back flip I would have in celebration of such an amazing success of a meal. I love roast beef. I love potatoes. ( I don't think there's a starch I don't like!) I love carrots. And this recipe puts all those things together, but it's not just your normal pot roast recipe. This one is SOOOOO flavorful! It's one of those meals that makes you want to eat slowly to savor each and every bite. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! So let's get on with it, shall we? Here's what Continue Reading
Buttered Italian Shrimp
I tried out this recipe I saw on Pinterest, and wow. It was delicious! I love it! This recipe leaves the shrimp with a melt-in-your-mouth buttery taste. We enjoy these shrimp with pasta salad. But really a lot of sides would go with this recipe. Try it out for yourself. You'll need a butter stick, a lemon, dry Italian mix, and shrimp. Pretty simple, huh? I started by lining a baking sheet with aluminum foil. This made clean-up a breeze! I didn't even need to wash the pan! I just wrapped up the foil and threw it away. Melt a stick of butter on the baking sheet. (You will Continue Reading
