Chicken And Rice Enchilada Casserole

Mexican food.  Enchiladas.  Easy casserole. My husband and I are big fans of Mexican food so I tend to cook it often.  Even if I only have rice, beans, and a jar of salsa handy, I can always whip up something quick that vaguely imitates Mexican food.  It’s not fancy by any means, but it works for those days when we have a craving but I’m feeling lazy in the kitchen. You know what’s great about this enchilada casserole?  (Besides everything.)  You don’t have to make the enchilada sauce and you don’t have to roll tortillas.  Don’t get me wrong, there is a …

Peanut Butter Crunch Bars

Are you obsessed with peanut butter?  How about Butterfinger candy bars?  If yes, then I think I may have made your Friday.     🙂 My goal here was to create a dessert with loads of peanut butter power.  There’s some chocolate going on here and some subtle graham flavor, but let’s be real, it’s mostly a peanut butter flavored party.  I had the idea to add Butterfinger bars to a no-bake peanut butter layer.  I figured it would be a winner because let’s face it, peanut butter + peanut butter flavored candy bar = awesome.  Also who doesn’t love the “crispety, crunchety” texture of Butterfingers? …

Homemade Turtles

A random act of kindness goes a long way.  My grandma has been on my mind lately so I wanted to do something nice for her, for no reason aside from the fact that I love her. I decided to whip something for her.  She loves anything with chocolate and nuts, so making these turtle candies for her seemed like a no brainer.  I mean who doesn’t like to receive a box of chocolates?  Especially when they are your favorite kind.     😉 These candies are super duper easy to make… with a few simple techniques that I’ve learned along the way that I’m …

Stuffed Zucchini

I’m so excited to share this zucchini dish with you that I can hardly stand it! Fair warning, you do need a quite a few pots and a bit of time for this recipe (this is definitely not a one pot wonder), but it is SO worth it.  Start with scooping out your zucchini.  I used a grapefruit spoon because the serrated edges made scooping really easy, but really any spoon will work.  (Note that I placed the zucchini in the baking dish just for show.  You’ll see from the rest of the photos that I had to remove them.) Place …

Rustic Soft Pretzels

Are you guys ready for another edition of Dave’s Bread Corner?  I leave you in great hands! You ever been to a bar and ordered pretzels?  I don’t mean the kind that sit on the bar getting sneezed on for days at a time, I mean the kind that shows up with earthy brown mustard or some cheesy beer dip and carries with it the warmth of the oven they just came from mere minutes before you eat them.  Well, I have…  and they are awesome.     🙂 I started the day with the question “What kind of bread have …
