«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 360 of 360Blog candy looks great! I am more of a take out girl than a cooker so you probably don't want my recipes.
Tammy

Happy Blogaversary to YOU!!
This is so yummy, I add chicken. And no panini press here, I use a skillet or toaster.
Apple-Cheddar Panini
If you don’t have a panini press, just use a non-stick skillet to make these tasty sandwiches. Just about any cheese can be substituted for Cheddar.
Ingredients
8 slices whole-grain bread
1/4 cup low-fat honey mustard
2 crisp apples, thinly sliced
8 ounces low-fat Cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
Cooking Spray
Directions
Preheat panini press on medium heat. Lightly spread honey mustard evenly over each slice of bread. Layer apple slices and cheese over 4 slices of bread, using about ½ apple and 2 ounces of cheese for each sandwich. Top each with remaining bread slices. Lightly coat panini press with cooking spray. Grill each sandwich for 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese has melted and bread has toasted. Remove from pan and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Happy Anniversary Cammie! This is one of my very favorite recipes (I have it memorized)! It's super easy, fast, and sooooo yummy!
Tortellini with Garlic Chicken Sauce
What you'll need:
1 red bell pepper
3 Tbsp butter
4 cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
3 T flour
2 c heated chicken broth
1 lb cooked tortellini
1 c grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Cut red pepper in half and remove the seeds. Brush with olive oil and place cut side down on cookie sheet. Broil 6 minutes in the oven. remove and let cool. Peel off the skin and dice. Heat butter in pan over medium heat. Add garlic and basic, cook 2 minutes. Sprinkle with flour, mix and cook 1 minute longer. Pour in hot chicken broth and whisk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook sauce for 6 minutes over medium heat. Add pasta to the sauce. Toss and add half the cheese. Stir in diced peppers and simmer 2 minutes over low heat. Top with remaining parmesan to serve.
Enjoy!
Linda
Yah for you!!! Congrats! Love your blog and all your creations! Great blog candy!!! Lisa K
Love your blog Cambria...here's my family's favorite recipe:
Sour Cream-Chicken Enchiladas
2 cans cream of chicken soup (2reg. or 1 large can)
1 can chopped green chilies
1 lg. carton sour cream
4 c. cooked shredded chicken
12-18 flour tortillas
1½ lb. shredded colby cheese
Mix together the soup, chilies and sour cream. Grease a 9 X 13” baking pan. To assemble, place meat in a row across bottom of tortilla. Top with a spoonful of sauce and sprinkle with cheese, then roll up. Repeat with remaining tortillas. I like to thin the sauce to nearly pourable gravy-like consistency, by adding milk. Pour the remaining sauce on top of the rolled enchiladas and top with remaining cheese. Cover with foil. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for approximately 45minutes until heated thru and bubbly.
This recipe is extremely versatile…could use turkey, hamburger or shredded beef.
Congrats on your anniversary!! I love your work and ideas you have.
Thanks for doing this, I'm going through blog and getting some easy dinner ideas too!!
One of my kid’s favorites and most asked for things, as a happy accident. I'd promised them Shake and Bake chicken and was out and didn't have bread crumbs or anything to make my own........only thing I had in cupboard was a Box of Cheese Nips, so we now make:
Cheese Nip Chicken
Take 1 Box of Cheese Nips and crush, put onto plate
Take 1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup (whatever your family likes) opened into shallow bowl/dish.
Take Chicken Breast and pound them flatter (not necessarily flat, but not real thick, lol).
Dredge Chicken in soup and then into Cheese nips crumbs.
Place onto Stoneware Bar (cookie sheet) and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, Depends on how many you are doing and how thick you leave chicken.
I make up mashed potatoes or brown rice with chicken flavor and a veggie and my kids ask for this.
My dd, who was 5 at time, told my dh, "Daddy, this is so easy, even YOU can make it!" I wanted to cringe, but he laughed and said they'd have to walk him through it next time I was at a show.
Hubby has made this and what we’ve done for variety, if we feel like spicing it up, add some garlic and SouthWest Seasoning. Whatever “flavor” or spice you wanted, add it to your crumbs before coating chicken.
Enjoy!
Lisa
pick me pick me! ha ha ha. Got some CUTE CUTE CUTE stuff you have been making :)
So for the dinner thing.....That's easy! Go over to Costco (or Sams Club) and get something that is already made! They have awesome prepared stuff in the freezer sections...over in the meat sections. You CAN'T go wrong :) Grab a bag of the fancy smanchy salad stuff that has all the goodies in it -- even the dressing comes in there. Then get a nice bread and BAMM!! Yer dun!
Or...order take out from the Outback :) Pick it up curbside and take it home.
Happy 1 year! I tried the McCormick slow cooker packet & believe it or not it is delicious! You put boneless, skinless chicken in the crock pot, mushrooms, mix the packet with stewed or chili ready tomatoes & I used tomato sauce instead of paste. Pour the tomato mixtue over the chicken, put the lid on and walk away....easy,easy,easy and good!
I love these quick and easy tortilla wraps...
1 tbsp Uncle Dan's Ranch Mix
1 tbsp milk
8 oz package cream cheese
Blend together until smooth
Spread thin layer over a large flour tortilla, top with a thin layer of baby spinach, a thin layer of smoked turkey, and a thin layer of swiss cheese.
Roll tightly, cut in 1/2 slices and secure with a toothpick. They are great!
Good luck! Carmen
Hi Cambria! Love your blog. I just love all of your little catch phrase...easy peasy.
WOW!! What a prize!! Blog candy is always the sweetest - fun to play with and zero calories - In fact, I'd probably burn calories from sheer excitement if I won!! Congrats on your anniversary - thanks for all your inspiration!
Congratulations on your blogaversary! My favorite recipe is the pumpkin roll on the inside label of Libby's pumpkin...hmmm!!! Thanks for the chance to win some yummy goodies!
Love you blog and I am sorry I dont have receipes for you as I cant cook either! LOL!
Oh! you are just too generous. Congrats on your one year anniversary. Here's a tried & true recipe for our family:
Chicken & Rice
Mix 1 1/4 cups uncooked regular rice, 1/2 t. salt, 2 cups water, 1 can condensed cream of chicken or mushroom soup in 13x9 pan. Place chicken breasts/thighs or whatever you have on hand on top. Bake in 375 degree oven for 1 hour or until meat is done.
(can substitute pork chops for chicken) (if you want more rice, change proportions to 2 cups rice, and 3 cups water) Enjoy!
Teryl
Wow, what great candy you're offering! Count me in for the running! And, a super simple dinner could be taco mac & cheese. make mac & cheese and throw a package of taco seasoning in it. Serve with a side of mixed vegetables, or throw in cooked peas into the mac & cheese to force the veggies into the meal. My DD and I love it!
Really easy Chicken casserole
put skinless chicken breast in the bottom of a casserole dish. Layer sliced swiss cheese on top of that then cream of chicken soup. Then sprinkle stove top stuffing (unmade) on the soup. Put in 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes to an hour until chicken is done.
Thanks for the awesome blog. Congrats on the blogaversary.

Then bake according to the directions on the stove top box.

I just love your blog and artwork. Its the first one I check everyday! :) Thanks for a chance to win.
Congrats on your anniversary! You are very talented! Please enter me in your giveaway.
Thanks, Sandi
I have been stamping for a couple of years and you have given me so much inspiration. When I can't think of a new idea, you always have one.
One of my favorite winter meals is:
Vegetable Soup
1 lb. Lean hamburger
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can corn, drained
1 can vegall, drained
1 can chicken broth
1 can tomato soup
1 can mild chili beans
Cook hamburger, drain, then add all ingredients in a large soup pot. I also add cabbage which my family loves. Sometimes I even use chicken instead of hamburger. It is always a hit either way. Hope you enjoy!!!
My cooking suggestion is to "EAT OUT!" I'm so sick of buying, fixing and then cleaning up. No one ever whats the same thing or they don't want to eat at the same time. ARGH!!! Like I said..."EAT OUT!"
Oh,and I would really like to be picked to get this blog candy....PLEASE!!!
Hi there - well happy anniversary. Love all your saples - super talented you are (excuse yoda)
Such a generous amount of blog candy - keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks
Tina Curtis
here's a link to squash mac and cheese - it takes a little time but is great on a cold Sunday! http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/healthy-macaroni-and-cheese?autonomy_kw=squash%20macaroni%20and%20cheese&rsc=header_2
We also like sausages roasted with vegetables. Chop your choice of veg, toss with olive oil and salt and pepper. Lay in baking pan with sausages and bake at 375 until cooked to your liking. Cooking time for sausages depends on their size. Enjoy :)
Holy cow, that's a lot of comments! Pick me, pick me! When I get home tonight I'll try to remember to flip through our family favorites cookbook and pick something out for you! :)
Okay, so I avoid cooking at all costs. . .but I do love your blog and visit often :)

Try this easy BBQ "COLA" chicken

12 oz can diet cola
Put chicken in non-stick skillet. Pour catsup and diet cola over the top. Bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook for 45 minutes. Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce becomes thick and adheres to the chicken. It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Makes 4 servings

All I gotta say is AWESOME blog candy. I would so love to have this for my scrap area. Everything looks like it would so much fun to use. Congrats on 1 year and here's to many more.
Melissa D.
I love your blog and visit it almost daily. I love the silhouettes stamp set you are giving away, so I thought I would leave a comment to put my name in the drawing.
Easy cooking recipes: hmm..I'll get back to you on that one. I am a dessert maker, not really one for having regular food recipes at the ready. I do make a pretty good homemade spaghetti sauce.
Melissa
Your work is beautiful. Cognrats on the anniversary. My favorite quick meal is dumping a can of tomato sauce, a can of tomatoes, some frozen okra, frozen shrimp, and some frozen corn in a pan to heat with some spices. It's good over rice!
Here is our family favorite recipe. It is very easy and delicious!Bacon Spaghetti:
1-lbs of spagehetti
8-12 slices of cooked bacon drained well and cut into bite size pieces
salt/pepper to taste
3 eggs
1/2 cup Parm cheese
1/2 cup half and half
Cook pasta per package instruction; fry bacon until crisp and drain.In large bowl
wisk eggs, parm cheese and half & half. Drain water from pasta and add pasta to egg mixture. Hot pasta cooks the eggs; add bacon and then toss. Serve immediately while hot. Add more cheeese if desired.
Thank you for the chance to win blog candy!
Happy Blogaversary!
Have you ever tried this? Put a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, a can of milk and 1 cup of long grain rice in a casserole dish. Add in 2-4 chicken breasts, mix & cover. Cook at 400F for about 1 hour...I LOVE this...great comfort food :)
Cami! I would just order pizza or chinese!
Pro!!
Congrats on your blogaversary!! Love the goodies! Cool stuff.
Guess one of my easy recipes is the enchilada recipe on the Old El Paso green enchilada sauce can. It's easy and oh so tasty!! My kids love them! Check it out and try it!
Wow, I would LOVE to have all those great playthings! TOO FUN!!!
Hmmm, simple and fast...
Take some boneless skinless chicken tenders (they can be frozen) and put in a microwaveable dish. Pour 1 can cream of celery soup over them. Nuke them, stirring every so often, until the chicken is done. Serve on rice or egg noodles. It's really yummy!
Happy Blogaversary!! I'd help with the dinner recipes, however, I'm cooking challenged! :) I'm always asking for recipes, searching cookbooks, etc only to put in a frozen pizza!

GREAT BLOG CANDY! Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful creations, I love your blog. I am so sorry I don't have recipe for you....my idea of supper is cereal or PB&J! Sad uh?
OK. This recipe has flown around my office and is a staple for our families. Put a roast in the crockpot with a package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix and a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup. Cook all day or to preference. In last hour or so, add winter veggies of choice. I do celery, onion, and baby carrots. I think the celery and carrots are a must. Some of the ladies add potatoes. I generally serve it over egg noodles. Delish!
Wow! What fun stuff! I hope you have a Great Blogaversary!
Tiffany
Well...I must admit that I too am cooking retarded! I have only been married for 8 months and am still kind of relying on frozen foods. My poor, poor husband! However, I have found that something easy (and tasty) to make as a side is green bean casserole. To get the recipe all you have to do is pick up a can of french fried onions and look on the back of it! :D I hate green beans but I love green bean casserole. I know, I'm weird. Haha. Anyway, sorry I wasn't more help, thanks so much for the chance to win some great candy though! I love it! :D As my second graders put it "You rock!"
Recipes huh??? My kids eat anything, but their all time favorite is cheese-burger mac...just regular old mac and cheese cooked with extra noodles, then I mix in extra meaty spaghetti sauce, put a little shredded cheese on top then bake it just to melt the cheese. There's usually not much left over when they're done eating!!!
Wonderful blog candy!!! Thanks for the chance!!! {SMILES}
ooooooooooh... yummy looking candy -- thanks for the chance to win.
Dinner.....
grab a big 'ol pot, put in some oil, add popcorn... shake like crazy... melt butter, drizzle on top... shake on some salt... grab a cozy blanket and snuggle on the couch with a good movie :)
love your blog!

Thank you so much! WOW! This is a great give-a-way! kt
OK, here is an easy crock pot recipe so you can stamp all day!!
2-3 lb roast beef
pkg onion soup mix
1 can coke or pepsi
Mix together and cook on low for 8-10 hours....
Love your blog and I am all for easy recipes! :)
Great blog~!! Thanks for doing this
Congratulations!! I do love visiting here. As for a recipe, here goes. You take two cans of Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup and one package of Lipton Onion Soup mix and mix together in a roaster. Stick your roast in and season. Cover your roaster with tin foil and seal the edges. Place in oven at 180 to 200 degrees for 6-7 hours. When done, you get a roast that falls apart and gravy to boot!
Another quick dinner I do sometimes is Quesadillas. I have a Quesadilla grill and it is so easy just to throw on some large tortillas filled with your favorite fillers, such as shredded cheese, leftover shredded chicken or beef, and whatever else you like in yours. We dip ours in salsa and eat! Yummy!
Happy blogiversary. Your work is always inspiring.
-*Linda*-
Fabulous blog candy... Let's see for the cooking impaired... My best advise get the Taste Of Home magazine... The recipes are simple, easy and made with stuff that we all know (not spice or gadget that REAL people have never heard of) and they have pictures! Congratulations on your one year - let's see I have 50 weeks to him my 1 yr on my blog LOL....
I love new words...Blogaversary! How sweet...wishing you many more. Love your stuff...do you sleep? It would take me all day to try and match colors and find coodinating paper ;-0 I do however, love to cook. Melt butter with some fresh garlic..then slowly add heavy whipping cream...thicken a bit...add some grated parm cheese..towards the end sprinkle with basil and (my secret, although not after I post it here :-) is add a splash or two of lemon juice. Pour over cooked fettucine and wah-lah...fetticune alfredo (homemade). I saute some shrimp or scallops in butter and garlic too (drain) and add to your sauce just enough to heat them up...then you have seafood alfredo! Yum! too easy...
Wow great blog candy.
My favorite dinner is a salad with lots of veggies, and then you take the chicken dinosaurs and chop them up on top of salad with Ranch Dressing. We had this last night it was so good!
I don't have any recipes as I am one of those that just throws things together (in the crock pot usually) and see what happens! lol I LOVE that crock pot! I love your blog and congrats on a year!! :)
Happy blogaversay(blog anniversary)
My favorite fast dinner is home chicken nuggets..
Take Chicken Breast
Cut into Chunks
DRY MIX:
On a plate mix,flour,salt,pepper and paprika.
WET MIX
In a bowl mix 1 egg and milk,dap of texas pete(or other hot sauce)
Dip in wet mix then roll in dry..Throw into a pan of hot oil.
Also to add you really can't taste the hot sauce.
Thanks
Jennifer D
Ok, I am psyched!! I hope you draw my number.LOL As for a recipe, I am going to make the one that "girl" posted below. Sounds easy and yummy!!
I love your blog! I get so much inspiration from it!
My easy Mexican Chicken crockpot recipe is:
Add enough frozen chicken breasts to feed your family, and a large jar of salsa - cook on high for 4-6 hours, and then add a bag of cheddar cheese for the last 20 minutes. Mix it all together, make some Mexican rice from the package, and watch your family devour it ;)
Congrats on your 1 year mark! thanks so much! I really need the inspiration! you are so very talented!

Wow! That's some great candy! One of our favorite recipes is a taco casserole. Layer nacho cheese doritos in a 9x13 pan. Brown 1 lb of ground beef in a pan. Add a small can of chopped green chilies, can of cream of mushroom soup, can of cream of chicken soup, small jar of mild (or hotter according to your taste) salsa, and about 3 oz. of milk. Stir all of that and heat to until bubbly. Pour it over the chips in the pan. Cover with shredded cheese and heat until the cheese is melted. It's yummy. Thanks for sharing all your great stuff.

Happy Blogiversary! Your site and your projects always look great.
There's not much that's easier than a crockpot recipe.
We like chicken tacos. I put a few boneless, skinless chicken breasts (fat removed) in the crockpot with a bouillon cube (or a teaspoon of the powdered kind), about a half cup of water, and a package of taco seasoning. I let this cook on low 6-8 hours. Put the chicken on plate and remove any remaining fat. Then I shred up the chicken and add some of the juices from the pot to moisten it a bit. It's great in shells of tortillas with your favorite taco toppings. I try to throw in a little extra chicken so that I have enough meat leftover to freeze for another easy meal.
I'd love to leave a comment. Your blog is a breath of fresh air to me, you offer so much inspiration and fun projects!
I just put 'baked' chicken in the crockpot. Sometimes dinner just has to be simple and done before the rest of the day takes over.
Shake 3 lbs chicken pieces in 1 cup flour mixed with 1 t. salt and seasoning of your choice. Brown the chix lightly in oil, and put into the crockpot. Pour 1 c. water around the chicken and cook on low for 6 - 8 hours.
I hope I win! *wink*
Great blog candy! We really like Taco Soup. You need 1 pound hamburger-browned, drained and mixed with a taco seasoning packet, 1 can of pinto beans, chili beans, corn, stewed tomatoes, and Rotel diced tomatoes with chiles, 1 pkg dry Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix. Put everything in the crock pot (without draining the canned items) and heat it up! Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese and fritos or cornbread. So good, so easy!
My best dinner tip isn't a recipe, it's a PLAN! :-) I make a list of meals, purchase (or have on hand) all the ingredients, and then I have CHOICES! :-) What I have a hard time doing is picking out something!
Love your blog!
Wow, what yummy yummy candy! Pick me! One of our fav dinners is crab cakes and they are stupidly easy. Take the box of Zataran's Crab Cake Mix and add mayo, water and crab (usually I use immitation crab). Form into patties and fry! I've made them from scratch too with breadcrumbs and spices and that whole thing, but frankly, the Zataran's way is better.
The mix will either be by the canned tuna and such, in the fresh seafood department, or by the "ethnic foods" like boxed dirty rice.
Yum! Candy! Love your blog!
Here's a recipe for my husband's favorite meal...pork tenderloin.
Line a 9x13 pan with a large sheet of aluminum foil. Place 2 pork tenderloins in center of pan on foil. Sprinkle 1 packet of dried french onion soup mix over meat. Fill empty packet with water and pour water around tenderloins. Pull up ends of foil and crimp all edges to seal. Bake for 1 hour at 350^.
This recipe is so yummy and sooooo easy. The remaining juice is good on mashed potatoes.
ENJOY!

Wow alot of recipes. I don't have any on hand but congrats on your blogiversary. Thanks, Kathy H...
I don't really cook that much either. I like to, but we often eat out, and if we are at home, it's usually prepackaged, or frozen meals. Congrats on you "blogaversary" and thanks for the opportunity to win some "candy".
I love your blog! And I would like to share the easy but impressive recipe I made for Valentine's Day. What is impressive is that you use orzo pasta instead of time consuming risotto - it was declicious. I didn't do the broccoli rabe.
Happy Cooking!
Jo Ann Fannon (fannon@cloud9.net)
Steak with Quick Mushroom "Risotto"
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds strip steak
Kosher salt and pepper
10 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
1 cup orzo
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 bunch broccoli rabe
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest.
Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook until evaporated. Add the orzo and chicken broth and simmer until the broth is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan, rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Steam the broccoli rabe in a separate pot until tender, about 5 minutes, as the orzo cooks. Drizzle the rabe with the lemon juice. Divide among plates. Serve with the steak and ?risotto.?
Note: Orzo, a rice-shaped pasta, is a speedy stand-in for the Arborio rice traditionally used in risotto. Cooking orzo in broth instead of water intensifies its flavor.
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Hi Cambria, here's my easy pizza recipe.On a cookie sheet put english muffins halves (bubbly side up) put about 1 1/2 tablespoon of canned pizza sauce (i use Gattuso) and then sprinkle some shredded cheese over. Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and lightly toasted. Have a great day.
Genevieve
Congratulations on your milestone. Thanks for the chance at the great prizes. I'd love to have some Pallete ink. Maybe I'll win.:)
Congrats on the anniversary. My recipe is to eat out!! Fantastic blog candy. Andrea
Great Blog Candy!
Put some chicken breasts in the crockpot with 2 cans cream of chicken soup, one can stewed tomatoes, and one can nacho cheese soup. Cook on low all day. Serve over noodles or broccoli. Quick and easy. If you use low fat soups it's good for you.
Great blog, I love your stuff! Most of the recipes are passed down from generations and involve a pinch of this and a dash of that... I could never get my mother or grandmother to write them down because "you just know how much to put in" Good grief, that's why I can't cook!
Great giveaway!
Sorry, I try to cook as little as I can....

Did you say blog candy?! Cool! Favorite fast dinner? Ah, I'd really rather be stamping! WE only have a kitchen because the house came with one... I've turned it into my stamp room. =)
Great blog candy.
Pam Cole
Love, love, love those silhouette stamps. What a nice giveaway. You've got a great blog.
I forgot to leave a dinner recipe so here goes. This is what I make on a night when I get home late from work and I need something hardy but quick...
Taco Salad
1 lb extra lean ground beef (or turkey)
1 can black beans
1 can corn niblets
1 package taco seasoning mix + water
dash of olive oil
Romaine lettuce
avocados
sweet onions
sweet red pepper
salsa
light sour cream
multigrain tortilla chips
shredded cheese (or cheese blend such as Kraft Tex Mex)
Brown ground beef in small amount of olive oil. Add black beans (drained and rinsed) and corn (drained). Add taco seasoning and about 1 cup of water. Cook until water is absorbed and sauce thickens.
Meanwhile shred lettuce, dice onions, peppers and avocados.
Put shredded lettuce on plate, top with handful of crumbled taco chips. Top with hot beef mixture, shredded cheese, sour cream and salsa. Add diced vegetables and enjoy!
This is really easy and you can basically make it with whatever ingredients you enjoy. Its also pretty healthy if you go light on the chips and use low fat ground beef. We sometimes used baked tortilla chips as well.
Thanks for offering the blog candy! I'd love to win!
Here's an easy Shepherd's Pie recipe. My 16-y-o son is learning to cook and often makes it!
Brown 1 lb. ground beef, drain.
Mix in 1 jar beef gravy.
Place in bottom of deep casserole dish.
Drain 2 sm. cans corn and layer on top of meat.
Layer prepared mashed potatoes on top - we use Simply Potatoes or Bob Evans brand.
Sprinkle with paprika and dot with butter/margarine.
Bake at 350 deg. until heated through, about 25-30 min.

WOW, you have a lot of comments here...wonderful blog candy...Oh, btw...happy anny!!!!! Here's a recipe you may have never even heard of or seen, but once you try it...you'll be hooked:
TRASH CAN TURKEY
INGREDIENTS:
· aluminum foil – heavy duty
· 15 inch wooden stake – pecan wood
· 1 (12 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
· new 15 gallon heavy metal garbage can with lid – burn out the galvanization prior to using it
· 1 pair of welders gloves
DIRECTIONS
1.Lay about 3 long sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil out on the grass to make a square about 3x3 feet. Pound the wooden stake into the ground in the center of the aluminum foil.
2.Fill the lid of the garbage can with a large pile of charcoal, and light. Place the whole seasoned turkey (thawed of course) onto the stake, legs down. Turn the garbage can upside down, and place over the turkey. Place piles of lighted coals on the top, and around the sides of the can.
3.Cook for at least 1 1/2 hours, or keep going until coals go out. Do not lift can during cooking. Brush the charcoal off of the can, and lift off carefully as some heat may rush out when you lift the can.
4.Careful when removing the turkey from the stake – it tends to be falling off the bones and will get in the coal dust.
NOTE: This recipe is for a 12 pound turkey only…..I can’t guarantee that the results will be good if you stray from this weight.
Have FUN trying it...we never use the oven for turkeys anymore!!!!!
Wow great goodies!! One of our favorite meals is taco salad...really not too much prep aside from shredding some chicken--we do black beans, rice, chicken, lettuce, sour cream and thats about it!!
Thanks
Ok here is a recipe that is nice and easy. Get 2 tubes of crescent rolls. Take them apart and overlaping slightly make an oval with them on a cookie sheet. Bottoms towards center of sheet and points out hanging onto workspace. In a bowl chop up 1/2 lb ham lunchmeat. I usually have them shave it so it is finer. add some shredded cheddar, chopped broccli flowers, and fine chopped onion. Bind it together with yellow or honey mustard. Amounts are to taste. Once that is mixed up mound it up around the middle of the oval and then start flipping in the points of the crescents and kinda squeeze them to the center. It will look like a fancy danish with a slit pattern. Bake for 20-25 min at 350. It is so yummy I usually need to make 2 to stasify everyone.
Happy Blogaversary. I love coming and checking out all the cool things you make. Congrats and Thanks.
Hugs

Congrats on a year! Hmmmm...I love to cook! I've been dieting for the last 3 months and find the parmesean cheese is wonderful on everything....(the fresh stuff in the deli)...I started in a teeny bit of margarine, saute' green onions with fresh mushrooms, throw in an egg....lightly season, then sprinkle with fresh parmesean cheese...it's about 3 points on ww and filling!
congrats on the year!
Trudi
Wow!! Congrats on your first year. It sure went fast, huh?! I have been drooling over your creations for a long time, but drooling over my DH's recipes for 17+ years. I am not very handy in the kitchen except for the throw together crockpot stuff or dishes you find on the back of the cream of chicken can. LOL Sorry. :( But thanks for a chance to win some terrific blogaversary candy!! :) Kel
Happy Anniversary!!! Thanks for all the fantastic inspiration!
As for a recipe...I would have to say that my mom's recipe for chicken is super easy! Just chicken, Lawry's and black pepper. Preheat the oven to 350. Place chicken (I usually use the bone in chicken breast) in a pan then generously sprinkle with Lawry's Season salt and black pepper on both sides. Bake for an hour and a half or until it is done! Add your favorite sides and enjoy!
Congrats on your blogaversary! I have a very easy recipe that anyone can follow for dinner. It is a beef stirfry.
1 lb steak (I used sirloin steak)
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
1pkg snow peas(I used 9 oz frozen, but cooked then in micro before adding)
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. orange juice
2TBSP water
1tsp cornstarch
Spray nonstick pan with cooking spray. Cook onion and garlic cloves until tender. Add steak and cook until browned on all sides. Add cooked snow peas. Add soy sauce and orange juice to coat all ingredients. Mix water and cornstarch together BEFORE adding to pan. (this helps thicken the sauce). I serve it over brown rice.
Enjoy~

What great blog candy! You are so talented and so sweet to share all of your ideas with everyone!
Here is a recipe that I make when its cold and its heart healthy too, my kids eat it also!
1 pkg boneless skinless chicken breasts (3-4 breasts)
2 cans chicken broth
2 cans white or northern beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 jar black bean and corn salsa
1 pkg (2 cups) of colby montery jack shredded cheese
Boil chicken until done, cut up into bite size pieces or shred with forks. Return chicken to pot, add all other ingredients except shredded cheese. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmering. About 30 min. before you are ready to serve the soup add the cheese. You can serve this over crunched up corn chips or not (I don't) and you can serve it with a dollop of sour cream. It has a tex-mex flavor and it is wonderful! I hope that you like it!

Wow! So much fun! Love the candy. We did an easy dinner last night actually. I throw chicken thighs, a can of broth, a can of tomatoes and green chiles in the crock pot all day on low. By the time you get off work the chicken is so soft and easy to shred. You can do whatever with it then. HJave some quick burritos, tacos or whatever and use the leftovers with some black beans for some yummy enchilada casserole!
fun blog candy!!! i love visiting your blog..you always have super cute cards and ideas!! :)
What a beautiful idea a weekly blogcandy!!! I try it, of course! And I live you an italian dish: spaghetti aglio e olio:
Take some piece of garlic (one for two person) two or three for four or more), cut each one in two and put them in a large frying pan(better with teflon). Put also some red hot chili pepper (it depends how hot you love) and extra vergine olive oil (two spoon per person) and just a little bit of salt. Hi fire and when the garlic is gold (not black!) switch off the fire. Cook in many salted water the spaghetti, get of the water one or two minute before correct time and put them in the pat. Mix with medium fire for one or two minutes, put some cut parsley and, if you like, some parmigiano....Voilà !
Buon appetito!
cristina
I want blog candy, LOL! I love your blog btw!
My easy crockpot chicken:
6-12 chicken thighs, remove skin
1 bottle of bbq sauce
I spray my crockpot first with oil. Add chicken (sometimes mine is partially frozen!) and pour the bbq sauce over the chicken. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Serve with rice and steamed veges. Quick, simple and delicious!
love the card you did with All in the Family it's great . i am always looking for ideas for that set. I love all the stuff that you post soooooo beautiful and creative keep it up Gillian Barton
Happy Blogiversary!!!!! Here is a simple recipe for teriakyi chicken. In a ziplock bag add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and 1/2 cup soy sauce. Add 4-6 cloves of diced garlic and 1 tsp ginger. Add chicken and marinate all day. Grill chicken and serve with rice, veggie and salad. Enjoy.
Love your blog :D
All my recepies are in Dutch with Dutch measures so I find it a bit to hard to translate my favorite one...
How fun that it's been a year now. your blog was one of the first I came across when I started on splitcoast about a year ago. Thanks for all you share with us. Good luck wiih the next year of blogging.
My suggestion for easy dinners.
I have all the kids come up with ideas they like and plan a menu from that list with a few new meal to keep things interesting. When I know what meals I can choose from life is way less stressful.
I love checking your blog when ever I can. I love your style.
Lori in KS
Great blog!!!... I wish I could help you with recipes, but what can I say......Hamburger Helper already has the directions on the back of the box, LOL!!
Hugz,

Wow look at all that candy!! Haha. Looks great to me, why do you need real candy when you can have all that, and it doesnt even cause cavaties. My quick dinner is getting the seafood/crab salad that is ready made at Safeway and spreading it on dough spread out into a pizza shape. I usually mix the dough with some italian herbs to get a little extra flavor. Stick it in the oven at 350 for 25 min and Vola! You have dinner and a mighty tasty one at that. The crab salad has enough moisture that you dont need sauce or cheese or anything. Cheers!! Happy stamping, and cooking.
wow that blog candy looks good! One of my favorite recipes which is soooooo easy to make is Bow Tie Pasta with Alfredo sauce. You only have to buy 3 things: Bow Tie Pasta, Alfredo Sauce, and Spinach. You boil the bow tie pasta. In a seperate pan boil some spinach. Mix together when done and add a jar of Bertolli Alfredo sauce and heat it up. This is yummmmy!!! You can substitute the spinach with any other veggie like mushrooms, brocolli, or even add chicken.
Thank you for this opportunity. Unfortunately, I am not a great cook. My husband is the grand chef of our family and he never uses the same recipe twice. I am the stamper though!!
Happy Blogaversary Cambria!! Sorry I missed out on the festivities (and yummy blog candy!), I've been out of blogging commission for a couple weeks with the new baby. But now I'm back, baby! LOL! I'm going to have to save this post though and refer to some of these great recipes!
Hello your blog candy are very generous, thank you.
Fabtastic Blog Candy! Have shared a pi & a link back to you in my side bar!
My recipe, Salmon & Pesto mayo pasta
Cook your pasta, tubes or spirals work well! Add pesto to taste & a couple of spoon of mayo to taste too! Add your salmon cut up & it will cook in the residual heat from the pasta!
