Cheeseburger soup in crockpot


Ok so I am not one for Velveeta cheese... however my husband went grocery shopping few weeks back and of course he grabbed this. ( you can make this with any cheese) 

Ok cheeseburger soup 
What I used 
1 package of shredded hash browns ( you can used cubed or fresh )
1 big box of Velveeta 
1 32 Oz chicken broth 
2 lbs hamburger 
1 large onion chopped fine 
And bacon makes everything better ;) 
Dill pickle chips are good with this to! 

I chopped onion and fried it up with the hamburger 


While my hamburger was cooking I chopped up my Velveeta cheese in cubes, so it would melt faster 


Added the cheese and chicken broth into my crock 

Add the onion and hamburger and 1 bag of frozen  hash browns 

And while that is on low for 2/3 hours or high for 1/2 
I fried up some bacon and threw some into the soup and crumbled up the rest for a topping when it comes out 


Finished product ♡♡ this is amazing must try. 
Kids and husband loved it!
And even have some left overs for later! 
Great soup for a cold winter day.

Homemade baked chicken wings



Ok so I am one for chicken wings! Any flavor as long as there is blue cheese :)

I was never a health nut or really ever watched what I ate. I never had to worry about wright issues but the older I get I like to at least now put a little thought into it? And as these are far I'm sure from a health food, at least it's healthier than the average wing... and that's what I go for.. 

Ok blah blah blah you ready for hpw I did it? 
Real easy! 


I picked up the full size wings ( tend to be a lot cheaper ) 

And i cut them in halves 



I used old bay ( our favorite ) 
I just rolled in olive oil then the season to bake. Then I added more season when they came out... never too much season right? 


I lined my tray with foil just for easy clean up 



As for our hot wings I rolled in olive oil then pur cayenne pepper on them to bake 

I baked both of them at 400° for 35 minutes 




For the hot sause I used a stick of butter a bottle of hot sauce more cayenne pepper garlic pepper and some regular pepper put on low heat until butter melts then turn off 




I cut up some celery and normally make my own blue cheese but didn't have the ingredients so next best thing is Kens steakhouse dressing 

Here are the old bay season out of the oven 
They turned out amazing!

And the hot wings out of the oven before the hot sause 


And yummm my favorite after the sause! Better than any order out place ( at least that's what my family say ) 


Dinner is done! 

Rather watch a video? here you go...

Spooky deviled eggs





Ok so I love fall activities! ! And halloween is part of it. 
I am not a huge fan of the idea as halloween as a media based holiday either way I give in every year lol. It's fun right!? 
You know what's even better Is having a party for the kids and making spooky food ;) 

so this year we boiled some eggs... 


To make the fill I didn't really measure but just kinda guessed until it looked right.  
Some mayo, mustard,  and season salt and the yolks mix until smooth. 

For extras I had some olives and a tomato ( red peppers work better! )

And some celery





And here we go... 

for the spider I used one olive cut in half then use the other half to slice thin legs out of.. piece together

Spookey pudding



Ok so many not that spookey. .. more like adorable! !?

Here is a simple snack or party idea! Super easy and fun! Surely to be and big hit! 

After doing this I would recommend 2 or 3 boxes of pudding for these size cups tho! 



What you will need ....
cups 
sprinkles or chocolate chips ect
Pudding and food coloring or you can use color jello! 





Grab a sharpie marker and draw some creative faces or ... be like me go simple haha 


Ok so I'm not the best artist.... 



Ok my pudding is cooked I waited till mine cooled down before I colored it 



Once it's cool divid into whatever you are wanting and get to coloring .... 

There we go! 

You could also do purple for a witch 
or purple bat
Or draw a black cat then color yellow for the moon ... be creative :) 





Maybe I will do a part 2 of these next time I do pudding... but I think something cute and simple is great for parties serve with vanilla wafers!  



Follow my youtube videos ! 

here is how I did it :)

What's everyone have for memorial day picnics? I have been cooking all day to get ready for ours! But this one is grape salad. Super easy and idk how healthy this is if you watch your diet but I did change cream cheese to Greek yogurt.  But here is what you need....

1 1/2 lbs of green seedless grapes ( i only used red )

1 1/2 lb red seedless grapes

8 oz sour cream

8 oz cream cheese

1/2 cup sugar

1tsp vanilla

toppinng brown sugar and pecans ( i didnt use pecans )

remove stems from grapes and rinse them
beat sour cream and chream cheese
add sugar and vanilla and mix well
mix in grapes and put in serving dish
add toppings ( brown sugar 



here is everything I used for mine .. 





throw your grapes in and mix them all around 



I just put some brown sugar on ours. the kids really dont care too much for nuts in things and that is fine cause we dont either but pecans are really good ontop too ! and dresses it up a bit. either way amazing ! easy picnic dish!
