CHICKEN TOSTADA CASSEROLE
Straight from me to you. This is what happens when I just throw something together. It was amazing, hubby had 2 servings and I’m not sad about it at all. I used rotisserie chicken to make the meat filling and I built this up like a lasagna. It is so good and was fun to make. The queso is from Costco and it has a little bit of jalapeno and its delicious! I highly recommend this one! Let me know if you try this one! Yummy!

Homemade Hamburger Helper
Comfort food much? When my kids were young, they loved hamburger helper. But with 4 kids and 2 adults to feed, i usually had to make 2 boxes plus meat, well….that got expensive. So I started making it homemade, saved money and it would go a lot further. Most people like to cook their pasta in the hamburger helper, I like to pre-cook mine. If you want to cook it in the skillet you will have to add extra liquid. This homemade hamburger helper is perfect for leftovers, I had mine in my grandsons favorite snoopy bowl. Never gets old.

LIGHTEN UP YOUR BLT SANDWICH WITH WW
One of my favorite memories as a child was my Granny frying up a mess of bacon, slicing some fresh, garden tomatoes and tearing off some crisp leaves of garden lettuce to make a delicious BLT sandwich. It’s a classic, and delicious on every level! My garden has been giving tomatoes like candy at a parade this summer, and I can’t say that I’m sad about it. All the Celebrity and Roma’s are in the freezer waiting for me to have time to make pasta sauce and tomato juice, but the Beefsteak tomatoes are an “eat now if you can” sort and I’m not letting them go to waste. I…

SPICY BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICH
This may be the tastiest chicken sandwich i’ve ever made. It is a little bit higher in points that I like to spend on a sandwich, but it was so good and really hit the spot. I’ve seen the “fake out” McChicken sandwiches all over the internet, but I wanted to put a little twist on it. My hubby is a fan of all things spicy so I decided to make a “spicy” buffalo chicken sandwich, and it did not disapoint! Here’s what you’ll need: ground chicken, panko crumbs, plain bread crumbs, Shake n’ Bake Buffalo, egg, mustard, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. I mixed all the measured…

CHOCOLATE BANANA MINI MUFFINS
Can we say yum? These little mini muffins are a treat for the sweet tooth and make a wonderful desert. One serving is 1 WW point, that would be one regular size muffin or 3 mini’s! I like to eat mine with some fat free Redi-wip, it sure hits the spot! This is not my recipe, but I’ve lost the name of the creator. The original calls for baking in a regular size tin, I prefer the mini. I did take these little babies and dress them up for the 4th of July holiday! A little redi-wip and a blueberry on top for the blue and a raspberry on top…

PEPPER STEAK
Do you love a good Asian inspired meal? When we go to our local Main Moon Chinese Restaurant one of my favorite meals to order is the Pepper Steak. Tender steak with onions, green pepper, and rich brown sauce served over warm rice, that is delicious! Here is my own version that can be made quick and easy and for a lot less calories. I started with a green bell pepper from my garden and a medium onion, I chose a sweet onion. I sliced them up and sauteed them in a skillet with a bit of EVOO spray and some water. I spray my pan with the EVOO and…

FREEZER SLAW
That summertime garden is beginning to fill the kitchen with her bounty! It’s time to start working on storing that harvest in easy & delicious ways! When I was a child, my Granny always made freezer slaw. I remember the look of it, and the smell of the kitchen when she was making it, but I was too young to understand what she was doing or to ask for a recipe. All these years later, I’ve been looking to make some freezer slaw like she made. My sister-in-law shared this recipe with me that she got from her Aunt Edna, and I’m happy to report that it tastes just like…
