Southwest Casserole
Those of you who know me well, know I’m a big fan of Mexican food. This Southwest Casserole is a great spin on some of my favorite Tex-Mex recipes.

Sausage, Shrimp, And Spinach Bowl
While in Atlanta a few weeks ago, Rob and I enjoyed a meal at Steamhouse Lounge. We got the Sausage, Shrimp, And Spinach dip, that was absolutely killer! That dip inspired this meal. After my initial time making it, I plan to tweak it, which I’ve noted in the directions below.
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes

1/2 cup of Velveeta cheese

1/4 cup of Tabasco
2 tsp. of Cayenne pepper

Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce {Crockpot}
Nothing says fall more than apples! I decided to kick the weekend off with some Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce. For my first time making it, it turned out pretty well.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Globs
My kids nearly ate all these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Globs before I had a chance to have one. Drew called them addictive. Alex described them as the best cookies he’s ever made. Not sure I’d call them that. However, they are a great snack with a tall glass of milk. I’d like to try to make a healthier version of these, so keep a look out for those.

2 cups sugar
1 stick butter

4 tablespoons cocoa (optional) – I didn’t use any cocoa this time. Add the cocoa if you wish to add a chocolaty flavor.
