Grape Salad

I made a Grape Salad to take to my mom's for New Year's Day. It was wonderful!! The combination of ingredients are very odd, but it is delicious. You must try it!!

Grape Salad

8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
8 oz Sour Cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese
2 pounds green grapes
2 pounds of red grapes
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans

Wash and dry grapes. (It is very important to get the grapes as dry as possible.) Mix together cream cheese, sour cream and sugar. Add shredded cheese. Fold in all grapes, making sure to coat them with the cheese mixture. Pour into serving dish. In a separate small bowl or Ziploc bag, combine brown sugar and pecans. Put topping on grapes. Keep refrigerated. Better if made the night before.

Thoughts from Last Week's MPM

As I said... I did not get to the Baked Ziti last week. I am planning to do that tonight. I'm very excited to try it. The Salsa Crockpot Chicken was delicious. The Taco Soup and Blitz Bread were a perfect combination. The soup was amazing. It was like I was eating a taco with a spoon!! YUMMY!! The only problem that I had was with the bread and it was my mistake. I have never made any type of bread that used yeast. My bread did not rise like it should have, but it still tasted great...it was just a little dense and heavy. I will definitely try it again.

Superbowl Casserole

I have had a few people ask me about the Superbowl Casserole from last weeks MPM. It was absolutely delicious. AND very easy!! Here is the recipe:

Large Macaroni Noodles (8 oz)
1 pound of ground beef
1/2 cup of diced onions (I used frozen)
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper (I used frozen)
1 can of tomatoes(15 oz)
Shredded Cheddar Cheese (as much as you like)
** I also used 1/2 can of corn

Cook Macaroni as directed on package. Brown meat with onions and peppers. Drain water from noodles and drain grease from meat. Combine. (I put my noodles back in the pot and then added the meat/onions/peppers.) Add in the tomatoes. Add in corn. I added a little cheese in the mixture. (I LOVE cheese!!) Transfer to casserole dish. Top with as much cheese as you would like. Cover. Bake on 325* for 20 min. ENJOY!!

Great Muffins!!

I had to rearrange the menu plan for this week. I cooked to pancakes tonight and the red beans will be tomorrow night. I had some extra blueberries leftover so I made some homemade blueberry muffins using this recipe. They were delicious. Give them a try!!

How was the Hula?

Tonight's recipe for MPM was the Hula Chicken with Pineapple BBQ Sauce. I'm not too sure about it... My husband loved it!! I liked it but I think I might have to try it again. It was very easy to make and pretty quick too. I just used instant brown rice. I don't use any rice that takes 45 min to cook. :) There were too many onions in the sauce for me. I'm not too big on onions anyway. I loved the sauce otherwise, especially with the pineapples. I will try it again but we'll just have to see if becomes a household favorite.

YUMMY!!

I tried the Broiled Parmesan Tomatoes for supper from this weeks Menu Plan Monday. They were delicious. You should all try them.
