I finally made my first pumpkin recipe this season!  It was bound to happen because it’s a yummy ingredient to work with this time of year.  I hope you guys aren’t sick of seeing pumpkin recipes yet because this one is a winner.

Chicken Enchiladas

Tina48 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for new dinner recipes.  My friend Julie, from This Gal Cooks, recently made some amazing Green Sauce Chicken Enchiladas.  You’ve got to check it out if you haven’t already.  In fact, she has a ton of delicious recipe ideas so I bet you end up pinning (or marking) a whole bunch of recipes. I had every intention of making Julie’s enchilada recipe, but I couldn’t find green sauce in my grocery store.  I’m sure it was there and I simply missed it or was in the wrong aisle (I hate it when that happens).  …

It’s that time of year where I start to crave hot foods to help keep warm.  This hearty Italian sausage soup has a broth base and it’s loaded with hot Italian turkey sausage, orzo, roasted red peppers, …

How would you like to make a quick breakfast pastry that only requires two ingredients?  I can’t imagine anyone turning down this offer.  There are so many great products on the market that make baking much easier.  I took two of my favorite shortcut ingredients, crescent rolls and apple pie filling, and created these tiny apple pies.  If you have issues eating “pie” for breakfast then think of it as crescent rolls that just happen to come with fruit.     🙂 These tiny apple pies are a perfect Fall time treat. Tiny Apple Pies Recipe  (Makes about 14 tiny …

Greek Roasted Chicken and Potatoes

“There are two kinds of people – Greeks, and everyone else who wish they was Greek.”  Movie?  My family and I play this game all the time where you have to guess what movie a quote came from.  If you guessed My Big Fat Greek Wedding, then you’re right.  I must have watched that movie no less than 50 times (and it’s not because I’m half Greek).     😉 The chicken and potatoes in this dish are roasted in traditional Greek flavors of lemon and oregano. Greek Roasted Chicken and Potatoes Recipe (Makes 4 servings) Ingredients: 6 small potatoes 2 …
