Homemade Honey Oatmeal Bread

Honey Oatmeal Bread Ingredients

I’ve been borrowing my friend’s breadmaker and she’s probably wanting it back by now! We LOVED the Honey Oatmeal Bread that is almost straight out of the instruction booklet. Freshly homemade bread is the absolute best. It’s so simple to make but I’m still on the fence if I want to spend the money for one. I’ve had several offers from family to give me their breadmakers so I may just keep borrowing them! I really just wish I had more space on my kitchen counters for all the appliances I love using!

The recipe below makes a a 1 1/2 pound loaf.

How to Make Your Own Cooking Spray

 DIY Cooking Spray

 Cut the chemicals and save money by making your own cooking spray. I have a Misto Spray bottle for my olive oil but you don’t even have to spend $9.99 on that container to do it yourself at home with a simple spray bottle. Just be sure to label it properly so you don’t confuse your homemade cleaners with your homemade cooking spray! :)

Slow Cooker Creamy Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese


Slow-Cooker-Mac-and-Cheese-Final

My kids all love macaroni and cheese and one of my favorite comfort foods is also creamy macaroni and cheese. Lately, I’ve been making it in the slow cooker so I don’t burn it and the cheese melts so nicely in the slow cooker. Use slow cooker liners to make it super simple clean up!

I think the sharp cheddar and smoked swiss give this mac and cheese a delicious flavor but you can adjust this based on your family’s preference. The block Velveeta cheese adds creaminess to this recipe. My two younger children aren’t huge fans of the smokey flavor but everyone else enjoys it so when I know they will be eating too I will replace with another cheese. This is also a great recipe to make when you have a variety of cheeses in your refrigerator that you need to clear out. I totally got busted on trick this the first time I made this recipe.

If you have a large family, double this batch and cook in a larger slow cooker as a single batch is basically a side dish for our family of six instead of a main meal. Otherwise, you may have a fight on your hands on the distribution of the amount of mac & cheese! I don’t know this from personal experience or anything! ;)

The printable recipe is below but you will need to cook your macaroni per package directions, then layer the macaroni and your cheeses in your slow cooker. Cook on low for around 2 hours or until cheese is creamy and delicious!

Velveeta asked me if I knew any Liquid Gold Diggers. I’ll know more soon once they taste these dishes! Why? Because Liquid Gold Diggers love the Liquid Gold of Velveeta.

Easy Ratatouille

Easy ratatouille

Ratatouille. This is impossible for me to say properly. My kids on the other hand know all about ratatouille from some kids movie so they love to school me on the proper pronunciation. Anyway, ratatouille is a delicious meatless dish that is a great with pasta or rice or just by itself!

Oven Roasted Cabbage

Oven Roasted Cabbage

I’ve never been a huge fan of cabbage and mostly it’s because I had not really tried it. I just looked gross, smelled gross and wasn’t something I was interested in trying. Then I saw a recipe for roasted cabbage on Pinterest (I didn’t pin it though so I’m not sure where it originated!) and decided I would try it when it was on sale a few weeks back.

It’s super simple. Just toss with olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite seasonings such as salt, pepper, seasoned salt, etc! Cook at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until crispy. It is better the longer you cook it.

Pepperoni Roll Loaf Recipe

This recipe is super simple and great for parties, snacks, or a quick dinner! Anything Pizza”ish” is always a hit at our household. Plus, it’s super customizable if you want to add mushrooms, sausage, or other pizza toppings! You can even make vegetarian by simply substituting the meat for spinach. This is also great to use up that leftover pasta sauce!

All you really need is mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce,  pepperoni, and a roll of refrigerated pizza dough. Roll it out flat. Add about 1/2 cup of pizza sauce. Layer the pepperoni.

Pepperoni Roll

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

Pepperoni Roll 2

Roll from end to end into a loaf. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15-20 minutes until dough is done!

Slice when done! I made these for a Christmas party this past year and they were a huge hit!

Leftover Makeover: Taco Wontons

Taco Wantons Leftover Makeovers

Traditional tacos one night, taco wantons later in the week! This Leftover Makeover is super simple and it freshens up a meal so that your family might not even realize you are using the same taco meat as the night or two nights previously. These were a hit at our house and would also make a great appetizer for a party.
