Chicken Chipotle Corn Chowder

So, I’ve been a bit under the weather lately. My wonderful mother and friends have offered to bring me soup, but I declined. No way would I expose anyone to this awful crud! The one bright spot…I started craving Chicken Chipotle Corn Chowder. I must say…I haven’t always been the biggest soup fan. In the past, soup would be at the bottom on my list of things to eat. That is, until my sister in law introduced me to this recipe years ago. I officially became a soup defector right then and there! I love love love this soup and have been making it ever since! It has definitely made me feel better this week! Thank you Brandy!

This is the perfect spicy and deliciously easy soup on a cold day. Chicken Chipotle Corn Chowder is my go to Fall and Winter dish. Continue reading

Don’t let that leftover grilled chicken go to waste…make BBQ Chicken Pizza!

We are pizza lovers in my household! Whether it’s take out, our favorite pizza stop, or homemade, we will eat it! I make all kinds of pizzas from really easy semi homemade to fairly easy from scratch. One of my favorite types of pizza to make is the kind that uses up the leftovers. As you know, I’m all about making my life a little easier. I figure, if I’m cooking up one meal, I might as well cook up a little extra to make it double duty. I just love being able to take something made earlier in the week and transforming it with ease (cause it’s already cooked) for a meal later in the week. Continue reading

Easy Peasy Cinnamon Roll Apple Turnovers only 2 Ingredients

Easy Peasy 2 Ingredient Cinnamon Roll Apple Turnovers

So, my mom decided to come for an impromptu overnight visit this weekend with my niece in tow. I told my mom I had some canned cinnamon rolls we could make for the kids as a quick breakfast. (I’m currently working on redoing a wicker couch and can take a little help from a quick can of cinnamon rolls.) Since my mom is so creative and a plain old can of cinnamon rolls was just too boring, it’s time to think outside the box! I asked if my mom could come up with a fun way to cook cinnamon rolls. Something a little more creative than just placing on the pan and baking. Immediately we both spouted off two totally different ideas. Today in honor of my mom’s visit over the weekend, I want to share her creative twist on a can of cinnamon rolls. Continue reading
