Caramel & Apple Cookies

Photo & recipe by Stephanie Spaltro

What you will need:

1 box Pillsbury Caramel Apple cookie mix
1 can frosting of your choice, I bought the caramel apple one to try.


Directions:

Mix cookie mix according to package and bake according to your oven temp...Mine baked at 350 for about 11 minutes, you just want them to be a light light golden brown.

My husband enjoyed them better without the frosting, so try them both ways and frost accordingly to how you want them...

They were great with a big fat glass of milk!!

Serve warm and enjoy!!!!

I got this recipe from my friend Kristine, it was very good and very easy to make! except I made some changes to make it even healthier for us =D

Easy & Affordable Shepperd Pie

Ingredients:


1 pound ground beef- I used 93/7
1 14.5 oz can of green beans- I used fresh green beans!
1 14.5 oz can of corn-I used fresh corn right from the cob!
1 can Campbells condensed tomato soup-Can use low sodium one as a substitute also
8 oz of french fried onions
8 servings of instant potatoes of your choice, mix according to package
2 cups mild cheddar cheese or cheese of your choice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. In a skillet brown ground beef. I like to season with Greek seasoning.
2. Drain green beans and corn. Add to skillet.
3. Add tomato soup to skillet.
4. Stir together.
5. Make instant mashed potatoes according to directions on package.
6. Stir 1/2 of the french fried onions into the mashed potatoes.
7. Pour meat mixture into a casserole dish. approx size 10-1/2 x 6-1/2, but I used a round baking dish
8. Top with mashed potatoes
9. Bake for 30 minutes.
10. Top with cheese and rest of french fried onions. Bake until cheese is melted.

I let mine cool for about 5 minutes so I can serve in pie slices or squares, depending on the baking dish that you used.


The next time that I make it though, I am going to put the cheese and french onions on about 15 minutes before I take it out of oven!

Serve and Enjoy!!!

This was dinner at my house tonight! =D

Stuffed Shells <3

Ingredients:

16 uncooked jumbo pasta shells
1 cup (8 oz) of cottage cheese-can use low fat if thats what you desire!
1/2 shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese-I use regular mozz!
1 egg
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Dash of pepper
1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry
1 tbsp parmesean cheese
1 bag of mozzarella to use to cover shells with before putting in oven (optional, but we just love cheese like that!)

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package.

In a bowl combine cottage cheese, mozzarella, egg, basil, garlic powder, pepper and half of the spinach.. I use all the spinach because I double the amount of cottage cheese and other cheeses because through the years of making it ..it has just gotten better with time!

Pour sauce in bottom of a 13 x 9 baking dish to cover completely. I add a little extra because i just love it to have to be able to scoop over mine when they are done.

Drain pasta and rinse with cold water. Stuff each shell with about a tbsp of filling mixture and arrange in baking pan over sauce.

Cover and bake at 375 for about 35 minutes until all the cheese is melted on the top.

Sprinkle with parmesean cheese!! the more parmesean I say, the better! But thats just the oinker in me

Enjoy! =D

Best breakfast I've had all week!

2 Free range eggs mixed with 2 tablespoons of Black Swan No fat Greek Yogurt, cracked pepper and salt.

Heat a non stick frypan.. Add 3 sliced button Swiss brown mushrooms and sauté until tender. Add 1/4 Avo diced, sprinkle of red capsicum and sliced kalamata olives, 50g diced smoked chicken breast and pour the egg mixture over the top. Pop a lid on if you have one and let it cook, only takes a few minutes. I've splashed some homemade worstershire sauce on top.. Yum
