My pops picked some peaches from his tree for me, so I made some cobbler. I think it's one of my favorite desserts....Mmmmmm....
I am not a fan of the crafty blog that turns foodie, so I apologize for this sudden onslaught of all things food-like. BUT, when I find a simple recipe I SO desperately want to share it because I SO desperately hate cooking--& I want to help other cooker haters. I know, not a good thing to proclaim when it's one of my job requirements. Actually, I don't think I hate cooking, but everything that leads up to -& follows- it.
OK, here's the simple recipe I'm excited to share...It doesn't involve sweets or desserts. (Bummer, I know.)
I found out about the KRAFT Food & Family magazine through a friend & just recently ordered it---it's FREE!! It has some great & simple food ideas. I had to make dinner for a couple families tonight (mine was one of them!) & I chose to make these little muffin tin meat loafs. (The recipe is on the very last page of that link.) Sorry for the fuzzy photo. (*Darn!*)
It's really cool because this is how simple it is...Mix together:
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 6oz. package of stuffing
1 CUP water
THEN, you get to decide, by the chart below, what flavor of meatloaf you want. American-style? Italian-style? Mexican-style? I chose American. So, to my meaty mix, I added 1 tsp garlic powder.
Add that mixture to some oiled muffin tins.
Make a small indent into each mini loaf with the back of a spoon...
...and fill it with the sauce that corresponds with your "flavor" choice.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top & bake for 5 more minutes. DONE!OK--now here's one last little foodie story.....
I walked into the kitchen last night & LOOK what I found...
These are the leftover cupcakes I made from my recent visit with my Etsy BFF Beck. Those are little finger marks dug right through the icing. All 6 cupcakes on the plate had these exact marks. After some quick cupcake detective work I found a wee girl with colored frosting on her face & fingers. (And she had JUST brushed her teeth & was ready for nighty-night time!)
More crafty & silly goodness soon---I promise!
