October Recipe Round Up

The weather has cooled off a bit and I've been doing a lot of cooking this month!  I have some delicious recipes to share with you so I hope you can find something good enough to add to your menu.  Our usual routine is to eat at home the majority of the time.  I cook 5-6 nights a week and then we get take out once or twice.  It's nice to have a night or two off from making dinner.  I'm not going to share every single recipe I made this month - just my favorites!

// MEXICAN PIZZAS //

My FAVORITE meal of the month was MEXICAN PIZZAS!!

They were SO yummy!

I baked a 9x13 pan filled with the following ingredients:

 1 can black beans drained

1 can sweet corn drained

1lb seasoned ground beef

black olives

salsa

jalapenos

purple onion 

sharp cheddar

pepper jack cheese

Baked until the cheese was bubbly and browned.

Scooped out about 3 scoops into a tortilla shell and ate it like a pizza.

It was heavenly right out of the oven and for leftovers.

// CHILI //

First batch of Homemade Chili this Fall and it was so good.

My recipe calls for one an of tomato soup!

// BIG SALADS//

 We ate LOTS of salads packed with veggies this month!  I tried to do a big salad for lunch most days and then side salads for dinner.

// BAKED TACOS //

These were really tasty tacos!  I normally don't make baked tacos with all the toppings so these were a fun treat.  You'll need:

6 soft tacos

1/2 lb seasoned ground beef

purple onions

sweet peppers

jalapenos

taco sauce

favorite cheeses

Build the tacos in a baking dish.  Bake them at 350 until the cheese is bubbly and then serve with lettuce, sour cream, pico.  We each ate two soft tacos and then had leftovers for lunch.

 // BREAKFAST //

 Waffles were our go to comfort breakfast on Saturdays.

Pumpkin Swirl French Toast was a pretty perfect Fall breakfast.

We had fun making this Breakfast Bark out of greek yogurt, fruit & granola.
