Mustard Chicken
Mustard chicken is done a variety of ways. With my Mustard Chicken recipe, your chicken will stay extremely juicy while having a tasty sauce over top. This recipe is great to just throw together and leave in the oven. We all get busy, so prep time isn't always something we have time for. This can be thrown together really quick so you can accomplish other tasks while it's baking. You can serve the chicken with steamed veggies, salad, or any other side dish of your choice.

Halloween Pumpkin Carvings
It's that time of year to bust out the Orange, the black, the scary, and of course...the pumpkins!
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. Everyone gets to dress up (including my dog), eat candy, go to haunted houses, Halloween decorations and lights, and there's sooo much pumpkin!
Pumpkin spice coffee creamer, pumpkin spice muffins, Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats, Pumpkin Waffles, Pumpkin Pie, etc...
Check out some pumpkin carving ideas and at the bottom there's a simple recipe for roasting the seeds that you take out for carving.

Mini Pizzas
Mini pizzas- fun for the whole family. These are incredibly easy to make and fun to eat. They work for dinner, for appetizers, or for parties.
My pizzas were healthier, but you can also do pepperoni, bacon, sausage, margherita etc.
For the dough you will need Rhodes Rolls (the thaw, rise, and bake kind, 12 count).
Turkey Meatloaf
Everyone needs a good meatloaf recipe. There's nothing better than some comfort food, especially once winter rolls around. What if you could have the comfort without all the guilt that usually follows? With this recipe you can.
Using lean ground turkey instead of beef saves immensely on calories and is better for you. Also, kicking it up a notch with jalapenos and cayenne pepper will boost your metabolism. Not to mention the Panko bread crumb topping that offers the satisfactory crunch without all of the calories of regular bread crumbs.

Tomatillo Salsa
In a food processor or blender, combine the following ingredients:
1 28oz. can Tomatillos (drain half of the water)
1/2 Cup Chopped Cilantro
2-8 Jalapenos (depending how spicy you want it- I typically do 7 or 8- chop off stem)
1/2 white or yellow onion
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt (I use low sodium)
1Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 1/2 Teaspoons Black Pepper
Blend ingredients until fairly smooth, making sure the main ingredients are chopped thoroughly. Here you have it, the perfect salsa for any occasion (or for Tuesday Taco night).

Pumpkin Spice Waffles
Fall... the leaves change and the air gets crisp, but most importantly, there's Pumpkin everything! Nothing makes me happier than fresh pumpkin. Whether it be a latte, pie, cookie, or in this case a waffle. Yes you heard me...Pumpkin Spice Waffles. They're not too hard to make either. Basically just a twist on my regular "Waffles- light and Crispy."
Turn Your Cinnamon Roll into a Waffle
I found quite a few blog sites on Pinterest that did the cinnamon rolls made into waffles idea.
A few that have similar recipes/ideas are Little Bit Funky, Mrs. Happy Homemaker, Must Have Mom, Chef in Training, etc...
Everyone seemed to do it differently, including myself. A lot of people followed the trend of doing one cinnamon roll per quadrant. Whereas I did one at a time in the waffle maker. You still get a little bit of that doughy center we all adore in a cinnamon roll.
