Back up and running

Hello, hello out there. A Momma's Recipe Box is back up and running.

Soooo much has happened since I left. We've moved and we've welcomed another baby girl into our family. She will be 9 months in November.

Halloween is tomorrow and I don't have any treats to post for you. But since Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner I will be posting some goodies for your upcoming events.

I will have some things posted in the next few days!

So glad to be back!

What are you little ones going to be for Halloween? My little monsters are going as bumblebees!

P.S. As I scroll through and look at all my older post I see how horrible I was with the camera, I have since improved. I will more than likely making these items soon and up dating the pictures, for now just laugh at them and check back later! LOL

Doritos Taco Bake

I was actually going to make this "skinny" but, 

my Wal-Mart sucks and didn't have what I needed to do so. 

So, this is the unskinny version. 

If you personally would like it skinny click here.  

Overnight Teething Biscuits

I'm going to admit that I, yes I actually love these! 

Karleigh loves them as well. 

Rocky loves them too! 

I personally think the batter taste better than the biscuit itself! 

Oats & 'Naner Drops

I'm determined to find better cookies, snacks, what have you for my baby girl to have. 

I've always opted for the Gerber snacks in the baby isle for her, 

but she is almost 15 months so I'm running out of choices. 

I feel as if I could make something more nutritional for her than what those provided too. 

So, I Googled "Healthy cookies for children" and that's when I found a butt load of recipes. 

Yes, I did say a butt load! 

Mexican Stir Fry

I don't really care for Mexican food at all. Just not my kinda taste, ya know.

But for some reason when I found this, something told me I had to try it. 

It actually wasn't bad at all. 

Peanut Butter Coconut Woofies

 Our boxer liked to tear things apart when we would leave the house. 

We were always against caging him up when we left, because we feel as if it is his house too. 

So in a attempt to stop all the shredding of things while we were gone,

we started giving him 2 treats when we left. 

Slowly but surely the madness stopped. 

I honestly don't know if it was because of the treats or him just getting older and wiser. 

I'm not willing to find out so I continue to give him treats. 

Coconut Raspberry Jello Cake

We recently lost my Grandma in February.

Which officially made me grandparent-less. 

I'm still trying to come to terms with that.

It's been almost 4 months and I still can not wrap my head around her being gone. 

She's one of those women who I believe would live forever.

It's going to take a LONG time for that hole in my heart to heal, if it ever does.  

To be honest with ya, I'm fighting back the tears as I type this. 

Grandma made an amazing Mandarin Orange Cake.

As soon as I saw this recipe it reminded me of her and her cake. 

With her in mind I knew I had to make it. 

Chicken Nuggets Part II

So, towards the end of my homemade chicken nugget batch Karleigh started to not care for them so much. I'm bound and determined to find one that she likes that is not fried, but baked. I will admit that I will get her chicken nuggets when we are out and it's lunch time or something, but I hate doing it. I refuse to buy a bag of frozen chicken nuggets, when I can make them myself and know exactly what is in it. 

Blueberry Pie Bars

I love blueberries, if they are baked in something or mixed up in a smoothie. I don't know what it is about a plain blueberry that I just don't care for. Oh well, there are a gazillion recipes out there for baked blueberry treats and here is one of them.

Meatloaf Cakes Topped with Mashed Potatoes Sprinkled with Corn

Is it just me or are cupcakes every where you turn? I don't really understand the craze about them. I guess it's the bite size portion of cake that you can buy with out feeling the need to eat the whole cake that sits right in front of you. But who's to say you don't buy a dozen cupcakes and eat them all? I dunno, maybe you can explain it to me.
