Recipe # 46

Who just doesn't love a good 'ol casserole? This simple recipe was so good and reminds me of good times. No time in particular, just gives you that warm and fluffy feeling inside :) 

This recipe can be found {HERE} on The Shady Porch. 

A couple notes: I didn't read her "updated" version until after I went shopping {I've GOT to stop doing that!! :/ }, and I had no bouillon. So, when I was boiling the chicken I seasoned the water with plenty of salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and rosemary. I don't even know if those things go well together, but it turned out wonderfully, so I'm not going to second guess my decision! I also added celery to give it a little pot pie feel. Such a delicious and heart warming meal! You must try it on our next chilly day.

Have I ever told you I have the best friend in the world? Well, I do. She can usually be found in the "Jordan Approved/Healthy" section on my blog. Well, during one of our many chats, and me constantly discussing my new recipes I told her that I have several that I want to make, but they require dutch ovens. I wanted to invest in one, but couldn't quite justify it. Cut to a couple weeks later and I got a package. Not rare, having my own business I'm constantly getting things delivered to my house. But this one was unbelievably heavy {for its size} and I for sure thought that was weird! And this is what I found when I opened the box...

With a note attached that said "Happy Dutch-Ovening" :) We have a fun sense of humor! I couldn't wait to break in my new appliance!!

The deciding factor for this recipe was that I had left over Dr Pepper from {THIS RECIPE}. I know....my friend Keith would be shocked and upset. Nobody has left over Dr Pepper! Haha, but we are Diet drinkers around here! It looked like a big coke float! 

You just CAN'T go wrong with Pioneer Woman. You can find the recipe {HERE}. I didn't go with "spicy"...I was kind of scared, but I think next time I'm just gonna go for it! Very tasty and lots of leftovers :)

Oh yeah, I love LEFTOVERS!!! 3 recipes in 1! WooHoo!!

Her {Outdoor Pallet Bench}

and Her {Kitchen Table & Chairs Redo}

So so cute!! For sure go check out her cute blog!

Anyways, once she posted the shredded chicken recipe I knew I had to try it soon! 

Recipe # 20

Shredded Santa Fe Chicken Soup. Unfortunately I didn't get a pic of this one :( It just went too fast!! I served it with a little shredded cheese on top and with tortilla chips. Perfect for a cold day, and perfect to freeze your extras!!

Recipe # 21

Shredded Santa Fe Chicken Tacos

I served this on a low carb tortilla with some cheese and some salsa!

Recipe # 22

Taco Cupcakes!

These were a lot of fun to try. I found the idea for these {HERE}. I did alter a few things from the recipe. Basically I took the shredded santa fe chicken recipe and used it as the filling. I couldn't find the wonton wrappers, so I used tortillas instead. I just cut the tortilla into thirds and stuffed them in the cupcake pan. Not perfect, but it worked. My only thing I didn't like about the recipe was the cheese queso. I think if we just went with shredded cheese it would taste better. So the idea was good, just a little personal tweaks I'll make next time!

Recipe #8

I'm obsessed with the crock pot right now. I have actually made this before, but added kielbasa sausage, so I'm counting it as something new :)

I also doubled the recipe because Jake & Mo loved it so much! I set it up before I went to work and when I came home I added the cream cheese and sausage and voila! Dinner!!

The recipe is from this website {HERE}. It is a really cute site, her tag line is "A pinch of June Cleaver, A dash of Martha Stewart and a whole lotta Mommy". I recently started watching {anything & everything} Martha  and I'm more than obsessed!! I love everything she does, and hey who said a little jail time isn't worth it to achieve your dreams? :) haha

This is a perfect cold day recipe and the ingredients are nothing wild. We have some kept in the freezer for some safe keeping :)
