Pizza is a household favorite for many families. I know my family loves it when we have pizza night. Hot cheese, spicy pepperoni, onions, peppers, and more. We like our pizza to be topped with everything but the kitchen sink. Recently, I was feeling sassy and in need of a change so I dabbled in the world of pizza casserole. I was skeptical as to how this recipe would turn out but boy oh boy, am I ever glad I took the plunge!

This casserole is simply uh-mazing! It is loaded with all of your favorite pizza toppings like sauce, cheese, and meat. Even though there is technically no crust, I like to think the noodles make up for the absence of its doughy presence. You’re going to be ecstatic when you see this dish come out of the oven. Get ready to fill your plate!

When you think of plating lovely asparagus, the last thing you think of it on, is a tart.

But that’s the best thing about this bite size amuse bouche!

Hollandaise seems to be the perfect union with asparagus flavors, and even the kids love these…

even if they eat them with one pinkie up! 😉

This recipe serves 4-6 people and is ready in about an hour.  Don’t worry, though, it’s all worth it!

Make sure you let the asparagus completely cool on the tart, before drizzling the sauce.

Our friends at 12 Tomatoes had this to say about this dish:

“We love the combination of salty cheese, earthy asparagus, and sweet and tart balsamic vinaigrette here, not to mention how cute it looks all sliced up! It makes a lovely addition to any springtime spread, particularly brunch (our favorite meal). When we want to wow our friends and family, we whip up this savory tart – they’re always amazed at how elegant it is, and we’re always amazed at how easy and delicious it is!”

Whether it’s for a Super Bowl party or a snack for your family to munch on, Crock Pot buffalo chicken dip is divine! This spicy treat pairs well with Doritos, Tostitos, or any sort of taco chip. We like to place the dip into Aztec flour tortillas and eat it on taco night. Just add some lettuce, Pace salsa, and a dollop of Daisy sour cream for a complete Mexicana meal!

This appetizer is totally simple to make. All you do is toss your ingredients into the Crock Pot and set it on low for a few hours. Give it a few stirs every now and then and that’s it! Soon, you’ll be diving into this savory dip with your favorite chips. If you should happen to have any leftovers, we’ve heard the dip tastes better the second time around. However, we’ve never experienced that because our buffalo chicken dip get’s wolfed down on the first go.

And BOY was it a flavorful ceremony!

So many people are scrambling around wondering what to do with those left over eggs from the holiday.

Rather than the typical deviled egg, or normal egg salad with relish, I wanted to check out something different.

Avocado is the perfect solution here, because it has the same consistency as hard boiled eggs.

This recipe is ready in only 15 minutes and serves up to 6 people.

I bet you didn’t realize this recipe is also 100% mayo free!  So healthy is hidden here!

That being said, you can still sprinkle a tiny bit of bacon on the top…shhhhh I won’t tell!

As our friends at Diethood state:

“Avocado Egg Salad – Mayo-free, chunky and delicious egg salad with avocados, crunchy bacon, green onions, dill, lime juice and yogurt. This egg salad can be served as an appetizer, a side dish or as a filling for those delicious sandwiches.”

You would absolutely never believe that chocolate chip cookies was a way to use up old Easter or hard boiled eggs.

But STOP the presses, because these cookies are chewy, gooey, and best of all?

You’re not wasting food.  You can move entirely out of the conventional box of a simple egg salad or deviled egg.

This recipe takes about 15 minutes to bake and makes about a dozen or so, depending on size.

I made these for my kids, and they said they were super soft and chewy.  I got a thumbs up! 😀

I threw in some walnuts because I like a little chewy and a little crunchy, all in one.

Either way, what an excellent way to reuse hard boiled eggs!

As our friends at Back for Seconds state:

“You seriously cannot taste any egg in these cookies. I promise. They are chewy and soft with crisp outer edges. They have a deep, rich flavor from the brown butter and brown sugar, and they are loaded with 2 kinds of chocolate chips! They have a touch of cinnamon too, which adds such a nice flavor without being overly cinnamony.

Please, do yourself a favor and take a couple of those extra Easter eggs you have laying around, and bake these cookies! Then come back and tell me I’m not crazy after all.”

When it comes to the ultimate in comfort foods, beef stew is definitely the ticket. Smelling the aroma of this fabulous stew as it simmers in a Crock Pot will give you feelings of nostalgia of when your mom or grandma used to cook this delectable dish. Filled with chunks of tender beef, hearty vegetables, and a thick gravy, this stew will warm your belly and soul.

Carrots, potatoes, onions, and more all cooked to delicate perfection for hours when set on low in the Crock Pot. Set it and forget it, lady! Do your shopping, go to work, or visit a friend, and by the time you get home, this marvelous stew will be ready to serve. I like to pair beef stew with a flaky buttermilk Pillsbury Grands! biscuit. My kids enjoy dipping their biscuits directly in the stew but I prefer to pour it on top. Yummo!
