My Cookbook!

The decision to eat breakfast is a pretty important one! It can determine how much you eat during the entire day! When you start your day off right you usually don't feel as hungry as when you go without breakfast! Here are some simple recipes to help you get started on the right foot!

Dad's Breakfast Skillet
My dad has been preparing this simple skillet filled with bacon, eggs, potatoes, and much more for a very long time! I love it, it's so so yummy!!!

Starting out a meal with an appetizer helps ground things! It shows your guests you are serious about your dinner party, and lets your family know you care enough to do that little extra!

Here are some very delicious recipes that will help you do just that!

Cheesy Bread Bowl
This appetizer takes around 2&1/2 to 3 hours to make so you should start it early! It's definitely worth the wait!

The Most Delicious Cheeseballs Ever!
There are three recipes for three amazingly tasty cheeseballs here! They are oh so yummy and one of my very favorite appetizers!!

Make Biscuits Just Like Red Lobster!
You can make cheesy bicuits similar to the ones Red Lobster serves! They make a good appetizer or use them as a side dish! Either way they are super yummy!

Spanish Meatballs
These are so very tasty! They are a little time consuming but worth every minute! Serve them with egg noodles and your family and guests will go crazy!

Yummy Fried Tacos
You must have heard and even tasted regular tacos! Well this puts a whole new spin on things! This is a soft fried taco, filled with everything your heart desires!

Potato Soup-The Original Yet Yummy Recipe!
Potato soup is a comfort food! It brings you back to when you were a child! It never gets old, I make this frequently and my husband and children love it every time!

Chicken Tortilla Soup
This is everyone's all-time favorite! My husband asks me to make a double batch when I make it, because one just isn't enough! If we have left-overs it freezes well and when I don't want to make supper one night I just pull it out of the freezer and heat it up! It's as yummy as if I made it that day!

Meatloaf
My husband says that this is the best meatloaf ever which means a lot because he is comparing it to his mother's meatloaf. In his eyes she is a God in the kitchen! So that's saying a lot for this meatloaf!! It's included with a freezer cooking variation for those of you who have jumped on the freezer cooking wagon!

Home-Made Beef Stew
Another great freezer cooking meal! Very simple, just put it in the crock pot and go!

Stuffed Green Peppers
A great way to get your children to eat their vegetables!

Mom's Yummy Porkchops
My mom has made these crisp on the outside, warm and juicy on the inside, porkchops since I was a little girl! They are delicious!

Tater-Tot-Casserole
Quick and easy to put together, freezes well also!

I know that we don't have time every night to make a huge meal. We have soccer, dance, and teacher/parent conferences just like everyone else! For those nights these are the meals I prepare!

Tuna Patties
Next to Tuna Melts this has to be the fastest meal ever! It's very yummy, kids really like it with ketchup! You can make sandwiches or serve it how it is!

Tuna Melts
This is my mother-in-law's recipe, and it has to be the fastest meal on the planet! It is very tasty, and kids will eat it too!

Chocolate Crunch Mousse Cake
This is a very rich and chocolatey mousse cake...who wouldn't love it!!

Funnel Cakes
Ever wondered how they actually make those funnel cakes you pay an arm and a leg for at the fairs? Well here you go, and they make a wonderful dessert as well! You can make them into the shape of your choosing!

Chocolate-Peanut butter No Bake Cookies
When you don't have a lot of time to prepare dessert you could go with these! They only take a few minutes to prepare and can sit in the freezer until dinner is over!

Mom's Ice Cream Sandwiches
A quick dessert for mom's on the go!
