Black Bean/sweet Potato QuesadillasThis was super quick and the kids and I enjoyed them!! I mashed the sweet potatoes with some cinnamon & sugar and then a bit of spicy seasoned salt. Then used red beans in chili sauce, drained well. Topped with shred cheese and it was a sweet and spicy delicious combo that I felt good about serving my kids!! Thank you for the great idea!!

Lemon Garlic Chicken ThighsThis is super quick and simple, tastes amazing, and my three 3 year olds can't get enough of it!! I add a little Mrs dash herb blend to it sometimes or a spicy Cajun season blend too and it is just fantastic!! Must try for sure!

Dunkaroos DipI just made this yesterday & it is outrageously good!! We used honey crisp apple slices, animal crackers, & toasted eggo waffles cut wedges and we couldn't stop eating it!! I make it using the whole box of cake mix, about 2 cups vanilla yogurt, & 1&1/2 cups cool whipped topping! This sooooo yummy, easy, & just plain fun!!

Zucchini SquaresThis is so yummy and quick to make! Kids and husband loved it! This is a great appetizer to serve during football games, but also pretty enough and light to serve at a baby or wedding shower too! Love this recipe!!

Simple Hamburger CasseroleJust made this again last night & used frozen meatballs that i cooked in a 9x13 baking dish for 15 min @ 350. Then dumped in 3 big handfuls of fresh green beans & zucchini, chopped. I then poured the sauce over & topped with the tots. Baked @ 400 for 30 min or so & topped with cheese & served! It was excellent & all ingredients were 2 year old approved!! I love that you can sub in what is on hand, so easy to prepare, only takes a few minutes & it's in the oven!!

No-Egg Chocolate Zucchini CakeJust made this with fresh zuchini the triplets & i picked this morning from our garden!! It was FANTASTIC!!! So moist, light, & fluffy like a cake with a devilish brownie flavor! The kids were begging to go pick more "zoo-keys" as they call them! This recipe will be the only chocolate cake i make from now on! & Grandma can enjoy it with us too cause she's allergic to eggs! AMAZING!!

The Best BBQ Beans!I prefer the oven method just because it's a bit quicker & I always seem to have the oven going anyways! But the person I originally got the recipe from usually makes them in a crockpot and there's really not much difference... kind of just depends on what u have time for really! Hope this helps!

Honey Ginger Cranberry Orange Snack MixI submitted this recipe! I thought you could really make this a special treat by drizzling some melted white chocolate over the top too! It would look great in a pretty tin or baggie and given as a gift; or set color the white chocolate to fit the theme of a baby or wedding shower!!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana BreadI just made this about 2 hours ago and it is fantastic!! My little ones helped make it & loved the taste testing part! It was very moist & had a good balance of peanut butter to banana flavor. I made it exactly as directed except I used only 1 1/2 c. flour & then 1/2 c. baby cereal because I have a ton left over & need to get rid of it!! Fantastic recipe, we will be making this quite often, Thanks!!

Baked Acorn Squash with Brown SugarI have made this several times now and it is always a HUGE hit!! Just like my mom used to make when I was growing up!! The first 2 times I made it my husband refused to try it saying "I hate squash!!" But after watching the Trips each devour half a squash on their own and cry cause there wasn't any more left; he decided to try it the next time. He was amazed at how awesome it tasted and now begs me to make it all the time!!

Honey Glazed CarrotsI just made ths for supper and my family really enjoyed it!! I added garlic to my water (1 1/2 c.) while the carrots cooked. Once the water evaporated I added the remaining ingredients plus some parsley. It was just the right amount of sweetness & was super easy to prepare!! My husband told me I can make carrots like that all the time & the triplets couldn't get enough of them!! Thanks!!

Beer Pretzel DipI made this to take up north for the weekend; we can't camp without it! Everyone enjoyed it; even my little buggers had to dip everything from cucumbers & tomatoes to pretzels & fritoz corn chips! Good stuff!!

Tex-Mex Chicken Pasta SaladMy whole family loves this pasta salad!!! It is so quick & easy to throw together, it's colorful and bright, fresh, healthy and light, yet satisfying and filling! It is a fabulous summertime meal you can pack and take on a road trip, to a potluck, all sorts of parties, or send for lunches!! Try crumbling some crushed nacho chips on top or a handful of cheese is great too!

Spicy Southwestern Pasta SaladThis was a hit at my house!! My husband couldn't stop eating it and neither could my little ones!! I was able to set a bowl full aside for my self and the rest was history!! I added some cubed, seasoned, grilled chicken, black olives, green onions, and green peppers to the mix because I had them and needed to use them up. Thanks for the super quick, "no cook" summertime meal idea!

Thank you for your kind words...hope you enjoy the cuban crushed potatoes...when you get a chance to try them:). It's a fun way of making regular 'ol potatoes in to something different.

I am so glad you enjoyed the potatoes....I now always use parchment paper when making roast potatoes.I must admit I don't make potatoes any other way:)...so glad I could be of help.
I know I used to have some of my potatoes stick as well. Thrilled when I found out that parchment paper works so wonderfully...giving you every bit of the potato:). BTW, love your photo of the triplets:) Take care...

Just wanted to let you know a tip on the fingerling potatoes ...use parchment paper on the cookie sheet. It eliminates stuck potatoes:) Hope you like them.
