Welcome to the weekly Manic Monday Recipe Link Up!

Did you check out the great recipes from last week? I loved this recipe – English Toffee Cookie Recipe from Morsels of Life looks fabulous! I love simple cookies – and this recipe looks so easy to make. Check it out here.

Every weekend I swear that I am going to get my meal plan ready for the week. Usually, that doesn’t happen. So, Monday comes and I am trying to figure out what I am making for dinner. I end up googling recipes for inspiration. I always think of that song Manic Monday, I am always rushing around to get the week going.

So, to help me (and hopefully you), this is a weekly link so that bloggers can link up their “inspiring recipes” for the start of our crazy, busy weeks! Each week I will pick a recipe to feature later in the week from the blogs that link up.

If you blog about food or even have a good recipe you want to share, don’t be shy. I am looking forward to some fantastic recipes!

You can check back each Monday night for a new linky! Go ahead.. add your link below!

Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken Recipe

Mar

2012

A Recipe – Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Recipe

I cannot believe it is already March. Even though it’s still cold out, we are starting our baseball season. During baseball season, we have tournaments every weekend. This means we usually leave early in the morning and come home for a few hours for dinner – then back to the baseball fields. It is very easy to eat fast food during the spring tournaments so I really have to plan ahead so that we don’t fall into that trap.

I rely on my slow cooker a lot during tournament season. We really enjoy this one dish meal – it includes carbs, protein and veggies. We also try different vegetables – we have used green/red peppers, zucchini, squash and more. We also garnish with fresh parmesan or Romano cheese – which gives it an even richer taste.

One Dish Meal: Cheesy Beans & Rice Recipe

Feb

2012

Here is another one of my favorite Weeknight Recipes!

There are some weeknights when dinners are an after thought. I try to meal plan, but it doesn’t always happen. I have some items that I always keep in the house – for the nights when I don’t have a plan. This recipe includes these stockpile items and is super quick to make. I have a rice maker, which makes it even easier to make.

Did I mention that this is one dish meal?

This beans and rice recipe is so easy and versatile – you can make it as a side dish or as a main dish. It is perfect for a cold winter day. It has just enough kick to please your taste buds!

So here is what you need to make this one:

4oz of VELVEETA®
3 Cups of cooked white or brown rice
2 10 oz Can Ro*Tel® Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies
1 small Can of Red Kidney Beans (drain)
1 small Can of Black Beans (drained)
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 small Can of Pinto Beans (drained)
optional – ground beef or grilled chicken

Combine all ingredients in pot. Do not drain Ro*Tel® Diced Tomatoes, include all contents of the can. Mix all ingredients and cook on med heat for 20 minutes and VELVEETA® is fully melted. Stir frequently. Optional – add beef or chicken to make a one dish meal. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This month’s Weeknight Wow Recipe is so fun! With all the playoffs and the Super Bowl, this dip is bound to be a hit. It is so incredibly easy to make! Plus, with a name that includes cheese and bacon – hello!

I made this and left some on the counter while I was taking this picture. I came back and found an empty bowl. Hmm, I guess someone liked it {namely Frank}.

This literally took about 15 minutes from start to finish. Pair this with tortilla chips, veggies, cracker or even sourdough bread.

Chili Cheese Popcorn Recipe

Dec

2011

In my house, popcorn is one of our favorite foods. We love to make Caramel Corn and other types of flavored popcorn. I love flavored popcorn, but am not fond of the prepackaged stuff… I am not quite sure whats in it. I prefer to make it on my own – it is quick and I know exactly what I am getting.

Chili Cheese Popcorn

Here is a quick easy way to spice up your popcorn.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons butter
3/4 teaspoon chili powder (or more if you like)
A dash of cumin
8 cups popcorn – prefer air popped or pop with oil
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

In a sauce pan melt butter and mix in chili powder and cumin. Pour mixture over popcorn and toss. Sprinkle parmesan cheese and coat thoroughly. Let sit a few minutes to allow to cool, the mixture will harden on popcorn.

Apple Recipes Roundup

Oct

2011

Evan and I went to the Apple Orchard this weekend. We ended up with wayyy more apples than we needed. I suppose we got caught up in the moment. I have been looking around for some apple recipes. I posted over on the International Delight Blog Frog Community – a request for some apple recipes.

I figured I couldn’t be the only person looking for recipes,so I thought I would share some of the recommendations.
