Onions have always been on my list of least favorite food ingredients. Do not ask me why, but I just cannot stand the crunch. It is funny because I can eat onions if they are grated or in the food processor, but not if I have to enjoy it in slices or big pieces. They are yucky to me and just gross me out instead of making me enjoy what I have in front of me.

However, the only crunch of an onion I will enjoy are French fried onions. They are delicious and toasty and have the perfect crunch that is not similar to raw onion that I enjoy. I seem to always be drawn to dishes with this (you know, green bean casserole at Thanksgiving coated in this) and am on the search for more. I even pile them up on my burgers! Here is a recipe for French fried onion casserole that is so amazing. It has chopped chicken and big bunches of broccoli chopped in there. It is the perfect all in one casserole dish that serves the whole family and everyone will love. Do not get overworked over this casserole. It is a good one to enjoy on any night of the week!

Do you love brownies? I am not that big of a fan. It does not mean that I hate brownies or will not eat them, I will just never choose them over a different dessert. I prefer to enjoy chocolate in the form of cookies, or cake – not brownies. But, when I met my husband I knew that was going to change. He is obsessed with brownies! He loves them plain, with peanut butter, marshmallows, or anything else on top. Any way you prepare them, he will eat them.

Recently, he asked me to try a new way to make them. I wasn’t sure what he meant. I was pretty sure I had tried everything and even exhausted my options. But, as usual, I took a little trip on Pinterest and found something original. It was an Andes mint chocolate chip brownies recipe. It looked pretty cool and had lots of mint chocolate over the top. My husband loves mint chocolate so I knew it would likely be a hit. I downloaded the recipe, bought the ingredients, and decided to give it a go. And sure enough, it did not disappoint. My husband was absolutely thrilled with the results of these brownies!

Your Kids Are Going To LOVE These

I must have been living in a bubble, so to speak, because I had never heard of halfmoon cookies before. Such a shame!

I have spent all these years without them when I could have enjoyed these wonderful black and white treats all along! Well, I intend to take back what I’ve been missing out on. Cookies, cookies everywhere!

It’s not a difficult recipe at all but you do need a little bit of patience with the icing part. Mainly because you’re going to want to eat them straight out of the oven… Hold your horses – while these are yummy even without the icing, they’ll be extra delicious once they’re all pretty and frosted! This recipe will give you plenty of these lovely treats but, if you’re like me, you’re going to want more. And more. So just do yourself a favor and bake a double batch!

Quick Tip: No-one said you absolutely need to make these black and white… add some food coloring to make them black and pink! Or green!

What To Do With Your Leftover Chicken Or Turkey

I bet there are quite a few people out there, wondering about the exact same thing I am; Just what am I going to do with all that leftover turkey?

You’re getting a little bored of those sandwiches already, aren’t you? No need to worry, I did some detective work for you and found this excellent turkey casserole recipe. And even if you have managed to gobble up all that turkey, you can still try this one. Just use chicken instead!

As if this wasn’t a great enough casserole already, let me take it up a notch and tell you it’s also a one-pot-recipe! Yee-haw! I don’t know anyone who enjoys all that crazy cleanup in the kitchen after a delicious meal, when you’d really just like to sit back and have a glass of wine. Well, now you can!

You Won’t Believe How Delicious This Cake Turns Out!

No, I am not kidding. It’s totally possible to make this outstanding chocolate cake without a single egg or any dairy products. And no, it won’t turn out dry or tasteless or whatever you think vegan friendly cakes taste like! In fact, I would go as far as saying this is one of the most delicious chocolate cakes I’ve ever had. That icing alone is to die for – and yes, you can make that without butter, too!

This cake is surprisingly easy to make! With a quick 15 minutes of prep time you’ll have it in the oven, baking for 30 minutes and then you just cover it with the frosting. The most difficult part of this recipe is waiting for the frosting to set before you cut the cake and eat it all! You may want to invite your friends over, unless you’re willing to put yourself through the test with your self control. I may or may not have eaten half of this by myself, but let’s not get into that.

A crock pot casserole for breakfast is the best thing to do when you want to put together the best breakfast your family will ever love.  I know what it is like to wake up on a Saturday morning, exhausted from the week and while you want a great breakfast, you just do not have the energy to make it happen.  I know what it is like to have kids jumping around wanting breakfast while you just want to sleep in. I know what it Is like to have a husband who wakes up at the crack of dawn and is starved but does not know how to cook.

That is where crock pot breakfasts come into play.  You can put together this cinnamon roll French toast casserole the evening before.  Just layer up the ingredients in the ceramic insert and put that in the fridge.  Then, in the morning, just slip out of bed, and put it in the crock pot on high and you will have a delicious and amazing breakfast for your family in no time.  No need to buy those premade cinnamon rolls for breakfast.  This will be a sure and sudden hit that you will repeat week after week.
