1. Put the butter in a sauce pan. 2. Heat the butter on medium high, and stir constantly. 3. When the butter turns to a light tan color, remove the pan from the heat. The butter will continue cook even when the pan is removed from the heat. 4. When the butter becomes a nutty brown color, pour the butter into a room temperature dish and is at the point ready for use. Photo Credit

The other night I was seriously craving tacos and when I looked in the pantry we didn’t have any tortillas or any taco shells. I always think back to the days when I used to go to Taco Bueno, when they had the yummiest Taco sandwiches. I looked to see if we had any buns, which we did. I was in business! My family was totally making fun of me, but once they tried it there mouths were too stuffed to say anything.

I love these Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bars. Now I will preface this by saying I don’t love Pumpkin Pie, so I have found it’s the Pumpkin Pie spice that is the whole reason why. Consequently, I just leave that spice out when making stuff that asks for it. I never realized how adding pumpkin makes cake so moist. Try these next time your in the mood for a sweet treat and have your house smelling amazing while doing so. Servings: 24 bars Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 30 minutes Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tbs. pumpkin-pie spice (I…

When I found this pizza dough recipe at first I was like, “Oh, I don’t need another pizza dough recipe.” But then, I just realized this one had a few less ingredients than the other Pizza Dough Recipe that I usually use, so I decided to give it a shot.

I was kind-a pumped. 🙂 Servings: 1-2 pizzas Prep Time: 1 and half hours (bread machine time) Cooking Time: 30 minutes Ingredients:…

The other night, I had some cooked bacon that I needed to use before it went bad. I also had some homemade dough in the fridge, so this homemade bacon pizza came to mind. It turned out amazingly! Who doesn’t bacon? Who doesn’t love bacon? I put this pizza down, turned around to get a drink, and there were just 2 pieces left! Next time, I’ll know to make a double batch.

This Chicken And Cheese Quesadillas recipe is so easy. I’m not sure how many of you have a panini maker. It was one of those interesting gifts I got from the in-laws which turned out to be awesome! However, I got tired of throwing bread and a different variety of meats in there, so I decided to try quesadillas in the panini maker. So much easier! Even if you don’t have a panini maker, still a super easy thing to put together for a tailgate. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 5 minutes Ingredients: taco seasoning 1 lb.…
