Apple Cobbler

So this is my version of Pioneer Woman's Peach Cobbler.  This is by far the easiest cobbler I have ever tried to make.  Since I published the peach cobbler recipe earlier I won't repeat it.

Spicy sausage and pasta

This was/is a perfect winter recipe...I changed just a few things.

I omitted cheese, but it would be wonderful--
I added some sage to the sausage while cooking, brings out the flavor
I didn't use spicy diced tomatoes but it would have been even better with them...
Added a few dashes of Krystals hot sauce...and some red pepper flake.

Who wouldn't love cupcakes and pie?

So how about cupcake pie??? Its so pretty....

Today is....

Today is...
     I wanna cry day
     I want my pj's day
     I want to sleep away the day day
     I want the time back I have wasted worrying day
     I feel like I have been run over day
     I feel taken advantage of day
     I don't think you listen to me day
     I don't seem to matter EVER day
     I need a break day
     I want a vacation day
     I'm disappointed day
     I need a friend to just listen day
     I don't need you to fix everything day
     I don't ever want to hear again I don't need you in my life I want you in my life day....because you do need me and words come back and haunt you....

    I'm tired and I have nothing left to give day
    I'm beyond exhaustion and my reserve tank is running on low
    I need for someone to understand how I feel day
    I need to run away and have some ME time before I loose it day
    My faith is shattered day...
    Why don't you listen to me day
    You don't have all the answers day
    You're not always right day
     I don't talk to hear myself talk day...

Dinner

Last night I made homemade sloppy joes, care of the Pioneer Woman's recipe. I totally forgot to take a picture.  They turned out awesome, but what we do, to sans the mess--we eat them open faced.  If I had thought about making potato salad it would have topped it off, but it was good none the mess.


See Ree's recipe below, and I will say you will NEVER go back to the can!

Success in small packages...

Patti's birthday pinata cupcakes.....

The container they end up in...

Coring out the center, stuffing them with Peanut M&M's...Patti's favorite yummy!

Finished product.  There were A LOT of causalities along the way, including my icing bag, the counter and a ton of cupcakes that just couldn't hang.... they all taste great and Happy Birthday to my Best Friend! 

Mongolian Beef

I love to cook this dish.  It is almost a one pot wonder, but you end up with (3) if you count the rice.  Next time I will thicken up the sauce even more, I will also add some red pepper flake which I totally forgot this last time.http://cookbook-recipes.org/mongolian-beef-3/
