Mini Taco Muffin Bites


These are so simple to make and they call for really basic ingridients. We were going to a friends house to have a fire and I didn’t feel like running out to the store so I used what I had on hand. Bisquick, ground beef, taco seasoning, eggs, Franks Red Hot Sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese.

2 cups of Bisquick

1 1/2 cup of milk

2 eggs

1 lb of ground beef

1 pkg of taco seasoning(any kind will do)

Franks Red Hot Sauce

All you need to do is mix your Bisquick, eggs, and milk and set aside.

Brown your ground meat, drain fat, and add your taco seasoning mix(follow recipe on the package as if you were making tacos). I like to add about 3 tsp of Franks Red Hot Sauce to give it a little kick.

Grease your mini muffin pan with either Crisco Shortening or just softened butter

Layer starting with your Bisquick mix first, then your taco meat mixture, and then top with your shredded cheddar cheese!

I showed it in steps here.

Bake about 12 to 15 mins on 375. Just be sure to preheat your oven at about 425 for 5 or 10 mins first.

Let cool before removing and then they should easily pop right out.

Chicken and cranberry salad


If you happen to have a couple of left over chicken breast lying around or perhaps didn’t need them for a recipe you were making, then here is my advice to you. Trim the fat off the breast and boil them for approximately 15 – 20 mins until fully cooked. Shred or cut up into small cubs and add 2 tbsp of mayonnaise along with 1/2 cup of dried cranberries. Add a little salt and pepper to taste.

I am trying to reduce my carb in take so I substitute a couple of crackers for bread to change it up. I usually us a different assortment of Van’s crackers but today I was craving Trisucts! It hit the spot!

I put them on triscuts for lunch an010

Van’s Gluten-free blueberry waffles


Score. Another great try from a Van’s gluten-free product. The blueberry waffles are absolutely delish. Light, fluffy, and full of flavor. Even if you aren’t on a gluten-free diet and just want to get rid of the bloat caused by all the white starchy processed foods that you are eating, try some of the gluten-free products. I can’t say that I am 100% gluten-free but when I can substitute I will. I have more so much more energy and just all together feel better.
