Creative in the Kitchen

So I had a pretty productive Sunday,
piles of laundry were washed, dried, and hung. The bathrooms are mostly clean and freezer meals are prepped for busy work nights. All in all about 5 meals. 2 Spinach Enchiladas, 2 Cheesy corn and rice casseroles, and 1 French toast casserole. Is it ironic that we ate leftovers for dinner?

I do feel a nice sense of accomplishment in completing this task, I think I may just do this once a month. It solves the big problem that working late causes, I'm so hungry! What's for dinner? and eliminates growling noises.

I put all the meals in small square foil containers, wrapped them in foil and labeled what it was and how to cook it. I know some people use their casserole dishes for this but at .94 cents a container and not having to wash extra dishes, it seems like money well spent. Also Thanksgiving is coming up, I can't have all my casserole dishes in the freezer. I know I could use plastic locking bags, but that just doesn't appeal to me. Eating dinner out of a plastic bag, no thanks!
It's not glamorous but dinner is done!
Ignore the frozen pizza box and vodka bottle, ha!

We had our Office Christmas Party the other day and decided on a three ingredient no-fail recipe! It always delivers and rarely leaves leftovers. Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.

Doritos Pumpkin cheese ball

1 Block cream cheese ½ C salsa (pace salsa works best) 2-3 C crushed nacho doritos Bell pepper stem Small round bowl Press and seal wrap Non-stick spray Mix with an electric mixer the cream cheese and salsa. I mix it well and until it is quite creamy/fluffy. Place a piece of press and seal over a small bowl and spray with nonstick spray. Put in cream cheese and salsa mixture and wrap up. Let chill overnight or at least 2 hours. When ready to serve unwrap ball and roll in crushed doritos and top with a bell pepper stem. I like to serve it with blue tortilla chips for Halloween, this is also great for Thanksgiving.
