Arkansas Green Beans

June17

I found this on nancycreative.com via Pinterest. She found it on allrecipes.com. This recipe is amazing. I first made it last fall for a tailgating get together and I got so many compliments on it. One guy actually told me he doesn’t like green beans, but he couldn’t stop eating these. I converted a green bean hater. *pats back*

Pulled Pork Casserole

June10

I saw this one morning on Mr. Food. It caught my eye because it used refrigerated BBQ pork, a staple at my house. I loved how convenient this was to make, how quickly it came together for supper, and that my husband raved over it. There’s nothing pretty about this casserole, but the taste was delicious!

Toffee Pecan Crunch Bars

May30

I actually tried these bars at a funeral. Liked them enough that I tracked down the recipe on the internet. I believe I’ve seen similar recipes using saltine crackers as well. I just sprinkled the chocolate chips on top, but they could be spread out, or even melted and drizzled over the top. Honestly, the toffee is so good that the bars would be great without the chocolate as well.

Chocolate Chip Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

May18

I found this recipe idea on the minimalistbaker.com site via Pinterest and adapted it a bit. They’re definitely not ‘typical’ pancakes, but they’re pretty good when you’re looking for a change of pace.

One of my favorite breakfasts is Greek yogurt with granola and raisins. I decided to try making my own granola and tweaked a recipe I found on joyofbaking.com
