Mini Cheeseburger Pies

300 Recipes in 1 Year 
Recipe # 45


I made this for one of mine & Jake's Lost nights. We, um, may have watched 8 episodes in one night. It was just getting too good! Such an easy little meal for our TV night together!!

This recipe can be found {HERE}. They have several variations of this that you should try soon! 

This recipe gave me the idea to make a breakfast version of this. Like a McDonald's McGriddle version type thing with sausage, pancake and syrup! Hey-O! I'm gonna try and make that version soon!!

Jones' Baked Veggies

300 Recipes in 1 Year
Recipe #44


I got this recipe from my friend Kevin, who if I'm not mistaken, got it from his parents. So Jones' seemed to be fitting title for this. Nothing crazy, just a simply healthy veggie dish! I was so excited when I went to shop for this. I LOVE produce. It is such a beautiful thing to look at. One day I hope to have my very own garden...ya know when I retired and have a spare second...haha. I just love shopping for fresh produce, frozen is convenient, but fresh is just the way to go!

The Goods: 
Olive Oil
S & P 
Veggies: You could use any kind you could imagine!! I used...
2 Bell Peppers
2 Yellow Squash
1 large {or 2 small} Zucchini
1/2 Onion

Preheat your oven to 350
Cut all your veggies {de-seed if needed} into even size chunks and spread them over a cookie sheet with sides
Drizzle with olive oil and coat those puppies with salt & pepper, like more than you would think! 
Bake for about 25 minutes and you've got yourself a delightful side dish. 

I thought we'd have plenty of leftovers from this to use on a pizza later this week, but 3 of us demolished it all! {I feel like when you eat healthy you seem to demolish what you can!!}

Pan-Fried Ribeye Steak

300 Recipes in 1 Year
Recipe # 43


Molly got so envious of Jake & mine's V-Day dinner, that I decided to treat her with some ribeye. I used this recipe {HERE}. I'm not going to lie, I like V-Day version better....this seasoning was a little too salty for me :( So, if you are going to use one, use {THIS ONE}!! 

I even double checked to make sure I didn't use too much seasoning, and I didn't {according to the recipe}. It was still a wonderful dinner between us sisters and we had a good night!


I just LOVE colorful food! 

Chocolate & Heath Bar Pretzels

300 Recipes in 1 Year
Recipe # 42


This is another Leslie inspiration! Her peppermint version's tutorial can be found {HERE}.



I made these when the bestie Jordan came in this past weekend. She was nice and had one, but then went on to snack on the plain pretzels. Dang her and her will power! :) She said she was looking forward to trying the fruit salad I made a couple weeks ago, {HERE}. I had to kindly explain to her that I have to make 300 NEW recipes this year! No Repeats!! HaHa!! 

These pretzels were a hit none the less....and the pretzels {glammed up or by themselves} are great! Try them soon with your favorite candy topping! 

*Tip: For smashing the chocolate, freeze the bar for a couple hours and then smash them when they are still wrapped. Clean up is easy that way! 

Pulled Pork Leftovers!!

300 Recipes in 1 Year
Recipes # 40 & 41


I was watching Martha the other day and she was talking about different ways to use Pillsbury crescents rolls. This meal should always be in the back of every one's mind...its just too easy. I had some leftover Pulled Pork from this recipe {HERE}, that was going to go bad soon and this was the perfect opportunity to use the rest of it. 

First you will want to roll out your crescents on a pan and take your rolling pin to them. 

Now, take your meat of choice and put a spoonful in the fat side of the roll. Add cheese and a sauce if you'd like. I of course added steak sauce, I'm obsessed! :)

Then ROLL 'EM UP! Martha put cheese on top of hers and brushed hers with an egg....so I did too. {I never see the point of cracking a whole egg for something like that, so I just use egg beaters! Way less wasteful!}

Cook them for however long the dough boy tells you to and then indulge my friend, indulge!


Another left over I did was making an easy lunch out of the pork and my favorite thin buns. 


Self explanatory....I just toasted the bun and heated up the meat. I'm obsessed with leftovers!! :) Enjoy!!
