Steakhouse Burger
Ever since last summer when I had the Steakhouse Burger at McDonald’s, I’ve wanted to make it at home. I decided to try and recreate it and come up with an easy recipe. I was able to recreate it, so I would definitely call this a “copycat recipe.”

Checklist Planner for Busy Moms
One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to be more organized and my word for the year is FINISH. Part of that is just having a plan of action each day to ensure that what needs to get done, actually does. I came up with this Checklist Planner to help me out each day. It has a place for what I need to accomplish in the mornings and in the evenings, as well as what I plan to blog about, what I plan to have for lunch and dinner, among other important reminders.

Mini Buffalo Chicken Pot Pies
A couple weeks ago I posted a yummy recipe of Chunky Buffalo Chicken. I made a triple batch of it because I had several pounds of chicken that I thawed out and it needed to be used. I love to do things like this to help expedite a meal later in the week. This saves so much time. So this is a “leftover remix!”
Servings: 12
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
Chunky Buffalo Chicken
1/2 packet of Ranch mix
1 container of grands layers biscuits
2 cups of frozen veggie mix (peas, carrots, and corn)
1 cup of chopped onion
1 can of cream of chicken soup

Chili {Crockpot}
It has been crazy, crazy cold. We got back home on Monday from 80° South Florida weather for 11 days, so this is quite a shock to the system. It was 14° yesterday with a windchill of -2°. I know you folks in the North have no pity on me, but I’ll just say I don’t know how you Northerners do it. So anyway, with all this cold I decided chili and cornbread waffles would be warm and comforting. If you’re having to brave the cold like I am, you should give this chili a try!
Servings: 6-8
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 3-4 hours
