Apple Crisp Pizza

by Rebecca June 26, 2020
written by Rebecca

This Apple Crisp Pizza made my day today. I was feeling a little low and this is the first thing that popped in my head. It smells great, irresistible, and it tastes amazing! The cinnamon sugared apples that are stacked over a flaky pie crust drizzled with caramel sauce is heaven! One bite and it’s as if all my problems floated in the air. I felt light, happy, and better. This Apple Crisp Pizza is my pick me up dessert. Delicious, sweet, and it has an enticing aroma that fills the kitchen every time I make it. Don’t miss out and try it the soonest.

INGREDIENTS

Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

How to make Apple Crisp Pizza

Step 1: Ready the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.

Step 4: In a single layer, arrange the apple on top completely covering the crust.

Better than K.F.C Coleslaw

by Rebecca June 26, 2020
written by Rebecca

This is the best tasting coleslaw you will ever have and I tell you, this is better than KFC’s coleslaw! And this is not hard to put together, all you need are a few simple ingredients. Mix them nicely before adding your shredded coleslaw mix and dressing, and you’re all set. Easy peasy, right? It is great as is or served along with your favorite chicken, pork chops, or anything that you can think of really. I love serving this during our weekend barbeque. The kids are crazy about it, and it just hits the spot!

Before I used to buy coleslaw from KFC whenever I am craving or my kids are asking for it. Now that I mastered the art of making my own, I seldom buy ready to eat coleslaw. I mean, it is super easy to make, a no-fuss, and everyone can do it. I don’t even have to go out, all I need to do is head to the kitchen and make it. I super love coleslaw because it is so refreshing, creamy, and it goes well with just about anything! I make just enough because I want it always fresh. Sometimes if there is any leftover which happens hardly, I just put it in the fridge and eat it the next day. I believe that coleslaw is a staple in every household, especially in mine. That is why I am keeping this recipe always and I would suggest that you do, too.

INGREDIENTS

1 pkg 16 oz, shredded coleslaw mix

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons milk

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoons mustard

2 teaspoons vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

How to make Better than K.F.C Coleslaw

Step 1: Mix the mayonnaise, milk, sugar, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper using your hand egg beater. Beat until incorporated.

Step 2: Add in the coleslaw mix and dressing. Mix until combined and serve. Enjoy!

CHILI RELLENOS CASSEROLE

by Rebecca June 25, 2020
written by Rebecca

Let’s go Mexico! I am a fan of this amazing casserole. It is well seasoned, satisfying, and heartwarming. The flavors bursting inside your mouth in every bite is an experience you will never forget. Delicious!

INGREDIENTS

1 pound ground sirloin

1/2 cup chopped onion

3/4 cup red bell pepper

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon allspice

2 4 ounce cans chopped green chilis

1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and a little more for the top of the casserole

1 cup milk

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup flour

4 eggs beaten

dash of Tobasco

toppings of sour cream, black sliced olives, and chopped green onions

HOW TO MAKE CHILI RELLENOS CASSEROLE

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet. Saute the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Add in a dash of salt and cook until the onion is translucent.

Step 2: Add in the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cumin, allspice, then continue cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through. But do not overcook the beef as it is still going into the oven.

Step 3: Drain away all the fat from the beef mixture by setting your skillet at an angle and use a paper towel to soak up all the grease.

Step 4: Add a can of Achilles in a 9 x 13 x 1 1/2-inch baking dish. Spread the chilis evenly at the bottom of the pan.

Step 5: Spatter over the sharp cheese and pour the drained ground beef mixture on top. Spread evenly.

Step 6: Add in the second can of chilis on top of the meat.

Step 7: Stir the milk, sour cream, flour, salt, pepper, beaten eggs, and a dash of Tobasco in a small mixing bowl. Mix until smooth. Then, pour evenly over the dish.

Step 8: Place inside the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Ten minutes before the dish is done, remove from the oven and sprinkle some cheese on top. Return to the oven and continue baking. You can turn the oven on broil if the dish is not brown enough when it hits 50 minutes. It will only take about 5 minutes or so, watch the casserole carefully so it will not burn.

Step 9: Once cooked, remove from the oven and cut into squares before serving. Top with sour cream, black olives, and chopped green onions. Enjoy!

  • toppings of sour cream, black sliced olives, and chopped green onions

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet. Saute the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Add in a dash of salt and cook until the onion is translucent.

Step 2: Add in the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cumin, allspice, then continue cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through. But do not overcook the beef as it is still going into the oven.

Step 3: Drain away all the fat from the beef mixture by setting your skillet at an angle and use a paper towel to soak up all the grease.

Step 4: Add a can of Achilles in a 9 x 13 x 1 1/2-inch baking dish. Spread the chilis evenly at the bottom of the pan.

Step 5: Spatter over the sharp cheese and pour the drained ground beef mixture on top. Spread evenly.

Step 6: Add in the second can of chilis on top of the meat.

Step 7: Stir the milk, sour cream, flour, salt, pepper, beaten eggs, and a dash of Tobasco in a small mixing bowl. Mix until smooth. Then, pour evenly over the dish.

Step 8: Place inside the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Ten minutes before the dish is done, remove from the oven and sprinkle some cheese on top. Return to the oven and continue baking. You can turn the oven on broil if the dish is not brown enough when it hits 50 minutes. It will only take about 5 minutes or so, watch the casserole carefully so it will not burn.

Step 9: Once cooked, remove from the oven and cut into squares before serving. Top with sour cream, black olives, and chopped green onions. Enjoy!

written by Rebecca

Two of my favorites in a cup – peanut butter and chocolate! Nothing beats a homemade peanut butter cups made with so much love. Refrigerate them or leave them at room temperature for a creamier and softer bite. Either way, these sweet little cups satisfy my sweet tooth and my nutty cravings. There are many things I love about these cups, first because it is so easy to make even my kids can do it! The ingredients are pretty straightforward, all of them I am sure you already have. They are amazing to give as a do-it-your-own gift. And because I love peanut butter! I can finish a tub of peanut butter in a heartbeat without me even realizing it. Crazy, right? So this Homemade Peanut Butter Cups are perfect for me. They remind me of Reese’s. Before I was so obsessed with Reese’s but figured why not do something similar myself? I mean I still love Reese’s but these cute little homemade cups are so much more amazing! It’s cost-efficient, and I usually make them in batches, I just stash them in the freezer.

2 cups graham crackers, crushed

2 cups confectioner’s sugar

1 cup peanut butter

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

4 tablespoons peanut butter
