Alcohol Ink Tiles

Now these are fun (and easy!).  Just buy alcohol inks and alcohol blender and some blank white tiles (I got 50 4"x4" tiles at Menards for $8!) 

Squirt some of the blender and spread it evenly over the tile, then just spot the inks on the tile.  You can blow on it to blend the colors together a bit. 

They would look great as a tile table or something!

Tomatoes

Onion Soup

Pecan Pie Cookies

Natalies PB and Chocolate Candy Bars

TURDS! err...No Bake Cookies :)

Baked Rangoon and Spicy Thai Noodles

Engery Bites

Bierocks

These are quite easy to make. Just brown some ground beef. About 1/2 way through browning the beef add diced onions. Shortly after adding the onions, add shredded cabbage. After the beef is brown, add a can of cream of mushroom soup and a couple tablespoons of milk. Stir and set aside. Either pre make a basic white dough or purchase frozer dinner roll dough and thaw. Place a couple tablespoons of beef mixture in center of flattened pancake looking piece of dough and wrap/seal the mixture within the dough. Bake at 350 til dough turns golden (about 25 minutes).

Apple-Strawberry Crisp

Mary's Trainwreck Casserole

*Cook a roast in a crockpot with green enchilada sauce, a can of diced peppers, diced onions, 2 cans rotel, lots of taco seasoning, diced jalapenos, and a little bit of minced garlic. I usually cook on low for 7 hours-ish. Take the roast out of the crockpot and shred it.
*Add a little flour or corn starch to the sauce that is left in the crockpot and stir til it looks a little thicker.
*To construct the casserole, put some of the sauce in a dish (I like to use a 9x13), then put down tortillas on top of the sauce to cover the entire surface. Put 1/3 of the shredded beef over the tortillas and top with more sauce. Add a layer of grated cheese (I use a mixture of cheddar and monterey jack). Keep repeating this sequence until you are to the top of your dish. top with cheese.
*Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes.
(This recipe doesn't freeze well--only due to the tortillas in the casserole. You could freeze the shredded beef in the sauce to hurry the process)

Cream Cheese with Raspberry Habanero Spread

This past fall I made several jams and jellies that make a quick and delicious appetizer when spread over cream cheese and served with wheat thins.  Here's what I made:
