My FH's favorite thing that I make is Man Dip... its super easy and cheap:

1 packaged roll of sausage (i like mild, he likes spicy)

1 can rotel

1 package cream cheese

Brown sausage in pan until cooked, turn to low and add rotel and cream cheese. When the cheese is softened enough to be stirred, transfer to bowl and mix well. Super easy!!

I also LOVE LOVE LOVE hummus dip:

1 can chickpeas

1 container original flavor greek yogurt

Paprika, salt, and pepper.. mix in food processor until creamy!

Ooh i was going to make a post like this next week! love it

I hosted a brunch and had found a Pinterest recipe for bacon egg cups -- since I love both bacon and eggs, I had to try it!

Spray the cups in a muffin tin with a non-stick spray and line the cup with your bacon. You can put some toast or hash browns at the bottom if you'd like, but I kept it simple. Once you've created the bacon sides, fill it with whipped eggs, about half to 3/4 full -- the eggs will rise. You can also just crack an egg in to it to make it sunny side up -- not my fave. Oh, and I forgot cheese, another option.

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes (gotta make sure that bacon is cooked!), scoop out with a knife or spoon and enjoy a tasty breakfast/brunch bite(s)!

Aww, my bad Leeor, didn't mean to steal your thunder!

But hey, the more recipes the better, I'll happily share some again next week!

For dinner I love to make Mexican casserole.

Prepare ground beef as if you were making tacos

Add in whatever veggies you like ( I usually add in green beans, Mexicorn, and sometimes Rotel)

Top with cheese and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes

Serve with sour cream and tortilla chips

Very quick to make and delicious!

Spinach Stuffed C

1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup shredded pepperjack cheese AND feta cheese

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness

1 pinch ground black pepper

8 slices bacon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Place spinach in a large glass bowl, and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes, stirring every minute or so, or until wilted. Stir in sour cream, pepperjack cheese, and garlic.

Lay the chicken breasts out on a clean surface, and spoon some of the spinach mixture onto each one. Roll up chicken to enclose the spinach, then wrap each chicken breast with two slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks, and arrange in a shallow baking dish.

Bake uncovered for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, then increase heat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C), or use the oven's broiler to cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to brown the bacon.

Haha Reenski are you kidding? I'm so glad you came up with this idea on your own!!!

I've made little egg muffins before, similar to your bacon & egg cups!! i went nuts and added cheese and spinach and onion... they're so good and make such a good snack

Some tips are to cook the bacon a little before you wrap them over the chicken.

ALSO...after you put everything together and cook it, put it in the broiler for 5 minutes to make the bacon crispy Enjoy!

@Lena, I need to have a dinner party STAT to try that out. They look DELICIOUS!!

@Reenski It was fairly easy! I got the recipe from allrecipes.com (where I get most my recipes from) but I added my own kick(red pepper flakes and feta cheese etc.) to it! I thought it was as delicious as it looks and My FH and my sister were very impressed!!

Bumping with the recipe I'll be trying out tonight for the bake sale I mentioned.

Oreo & Peanut Butter Brownies

- 1 box brownie mix (8x8 size)

- 24 Oreo cookies

- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 and line a muffin pan with paper liners. Prepare brownie mix according to box instructions. For each brownie, spread about a teaspoon of peanut butter over 2 Oreos and stack on top of each other. Place Oreo stacks in each liner. Spoon 2 tablespoons of brownie batter over the Oreos so it runs down the sides of the cookies. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until brownies are cooked through. Cool completely then serve.

I'll let you all know how they turn out tonight, hopefully like the picture!
