Spicy Hot Fudge Brownies!

Ingredients
2/3 cup Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa 2 tablespoons Smucker’s hot fudge 1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened 2/3 cup all-purpose flour ...

Rotisroni (When You're Out of Groceries...And...
So this soup sounds like a chef boyardee meal, BUT it’s all original from my kitchen :) I am feeling much better these days and since we’ve been out of town in Vegas (hence, the lack of new recipes) and eating out for the last week, I’ve had a yearning for some good, healthy, home-cooked meal choices. However, the lack of food-stuffs in the house make it a little difficult. Not...

Do YOU Speak Danish???
I love CHEESE in any form! I don’t know to many people that hate it lol
Recently, I was given the assignment to make dessert (one of many) for a very large crowd; a crowd of 58 to be exact. But the fact that the group I am doing this with is also assigned to serve a breakfast the next day, so I decided cheese danish would be a good neutral. Never made it before, but lord! did this turn out...

Simple Soup For The "Dentally" Wounded
I was in a hurry tonight… It’s been a long day; I was so wrapped up with errands and FINALLY got word from the doctor as to what the heck is going on with me. I’ve been so stressed and tired and SO ready for our vacation next week. I have a million things to do, but really wanted to make a nice meal tonight.

BBQ Chicken Sandwich w/ a Twist →
The description is right! Quick and healthy and definitely tasty. The carrots gave this an unusual twist I wouldn’t have thought of myself and instead of using ranch I used caesar which gave this sandwich a little extra ‘bite’. I also put baby spinach on the sandwhich instead of lettuce. Loved the ending result and will be making again!

Lemon Garlic Tuna Burgers; Sound Strange? Try it! →
As my husband put it, these are “different”. And that they are! The taste is neither bland or overpowering; the burger neither moist or dry. There is something about the combo of flavors that is just right. I made these for dinner, but I like them better as lunch the next day. Also, I subbed the english muffins for sandwich thins.

Tortellini Soup; Can you really say no to that? →
Possibly one of my favorite soups that I’ve ever made. I did not put celery in it, because at the time I didn’t have any, but I assure you, it didn’t put off the taste at all! I will definitely be making this again soon ♥ Good for fall or rainy spring evenings

Slow Cooker Vegetarian Lasagna →
I didn’t have all the ingredients in time to put this in the slow cooker so I put it in the oven for 55 minutes covered in foil, then added cheese and put it back in for 15. And I subbed the eggplant for zucchini ‘cause hubby doesn’t like it… It was delish!

Cranberry Hootycreeks... (What'd you call me?!!) →
Made these for my son’s kindergarten class and they turned out great! I was surprised because I don’t even really like dried fruit, but these are a pretty healthy, yummy, sweet treat! And make a great gift (refer to link) if you don’t have time to bake them.

Ground Beef Gyros →
These are absolutely delish! And after making your own tzatziki sauce, you will feel SO accomplished. It also tastes good on salads and other meats.
