Crazy Life

Yes, I know, I haven't posted in a million years. It's what has kept me sane these past two months of being off work. Why was I off work? I had a baby! I know, I'm awesome.

So let me tell you of some goodies I have found. There's a Cheesy Ranch Potato Bake that is to die for. I added bacon the second time I made it and it was even better! A potato soup that has everything for a good base (that's yummy just by itself) but if you dress it up with bacon, cheese, broccoli or anything that sounds good, it will be good. Crazy fluffy pancakes that have you add 2Tbsp of vinegar to a 2/3c milk and it does wonders. I've bought myself an electric skillet and it makes breakfast so much faster. And I have found by freezing the pancakes I can pop them in the toaster and be okay with them. I ran out of vanilla so I added almond to the pancakes instead, can you say YUM!? Won't make them any other way now.
Let's see, what else? Oh! Six Can Tortilla Soup! Love it! Take a can of black beans, corn (can or frozen....fresh even?) two cans of chicken broth and a chicken breast (cooked and shreaded or use canned chicken but that's just gross to me). Add cumin and chili powder and heat through. So easy, cheap and yummy!
A friend of mine posted a chocolate cake recipe that I went crazy for. I found a yummy white cake recipe that's oh so good. And I have learned that halving the white sugar in sweet things and and adding brown sugar makes things softer. And using butter instead of oil will make things like cake stay softer longer. Who knew?
So that's some newbies I have found and all of them (except the chocolate cake) are from Allrecipes. Look for the one with the most reviews.
