Wheels went out for the mail yesterday and got about 4 steps off the front steps before hugging the poodle tree and hollering loudly enough for me to hear in the house. It was so icy! I ran to open the garage door -- only two steps away from him -- and he pulled himself inside. Today everything is covered with a thick coating of ice, but the sun is shining and it is beautiful! Of course, I am viewing it with my toes on the warm furnace register. :-) Thanks for sliding by to leave a link to your awesome posts!

Slow Cooker Sausage and Egg Casserole
Slow cooker Breakfast and Eggs Casserole is great for a crowd. And if you don't have a crowd, the leftovers for lunch the next day are great, too! I like to have casseroles for breakfast when we have guests. Usually we have some kind of activity planned and hearty breakfast keeps us going till lunch. This easy to make casserole fills the bill nicely. It is high in protein at 23 grams per serving for active people and just high enough in carbs at 18 grams to stick to the ribs. The eggs, well whisked, help keep this dish light. I use turkey sausage, but you can use your choice of sausage or even diced ham if you prefer. Precooked sausage crumbles speeds up preparation. In a time pinch, use frozen diced onions. The bell peppers add nutrition and color. Use any color. I had ... [Read More]

Mini Tacos
I made Mini Tacos for a family reunion get together where I served several mini foods. The Mini Tacos disappeared quickly, and have reappeared at all sorts of events since. Kids especially love them. . . you gonna make those baby tacos again? They are colorful – like a fiesta should be – and have a little zing. The size is perfect, for little or big appetites, because they can repeat as many times as needed to take care of hunger pangs. They make great appetizers, but are filling enough for a light meal. Make the filling and keep it warm in a small crockpot and let guests fix their own taco, adding whatever toppings they choose. OR -- If serving immediately, make the colorful finished tacos and serve from a warmed baking dish. This makes a great addition to an adult appetizer ... [Read More]

White Chocolate Nut Crunch
White Chocolate Nut Crunch is perfect for those last minute gifts. It's so quick and easy to make that anyone who knows how to use a microwave can make it in a flash. It's easy to package, in a box, a bag or a jar. It's a wonderful combination of flavors - a little salty, a little sweet and a whole lot yummy! The recipe below is pretty straightforward. It can also be customized. Change out the nuts. I used a package of combined sunflower seeds and pepitas, instead of just sunflower seeds. Then I added a half cup of whole walnuts -- just because. Add a cup of golden raisins instead of the dried cranberries -- or in addition to! I used white chocolate chips, but you can use white almond bark or white candy melts, if you prefer. I used coconut flakes off the shelf in the baking ... [Read More]
