Third grade has been a trip, ya'll. They've turned up the heat, and the result is an all-family effort to buckle down and focus on basic priorities. Dinner has been simpler at our house, and blogging has been virtually nonexistent. Now that fall break is here and a big birthday occasion has passed, I'm hopefully that we can slowly add some of the "extras" back to our schedule.
Here's a few of the things we've been enjoying while I've been MIA.
Crab and Corn Chowder - We enjoyed this soup for a Saturday lunch. It was good. I felt like the seafood seasoning was a bit too much. It's another one of those seasonings I need to learn to lighten up on.
Birthday cake - we celebrated nine years at our house with red velvet cake topped with the traditional cooked milk frosting and American Girl style.
Apple Pie Bites - I made these for a meeting at church. My selection criteria were quick, easy, not pumpkin. These little bites were super tasty, even with the canned pie filling, and a big hit. A note on the recipe, they are not made in a mini-muffin tin, but rather a regular sized one. Also, yours will probably not be quite that toasty looking. I stepped outside out of hearing range for the timer. Ooops.
Cracked Out Chicken Bubble Up - We love these flavors together, and weren't disappointed by this version. I didn't let it bake quite long enough, so a few of the biscuit pieces were doughy, but otherwise very good.
Taco Ranch Pizza - We love this Taco Meatloaf, but it makes a lot! I decided to use some of our leftovers to make this pizza--a bought crust, topped with ranch dressing, plus crumbled meat loaf, cheese, and tortilla chips. It was a great use of leftovers!
