Southwest Chipotle Stuffed Peppers

Every now and again, I slap together a meal that the peanut gallery says..."that was really good, write this one down so you can make this one again Mom!"  Southwest Chipotle Stuffed Peppers is one of those meals.  Sweet red peppers stuffed with a southwest flavored whole grain mixture, ground sirloin, and chipotle salsa, and then topped with pepper-jack cheese and sprinkled with cilantro.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins

There is nothing quite like the combination of peanut butter and jelly. Simple, timeless, and always a classic.  Growing up, PB&J was a staple for us kids.  Many PB&J sandwiches were packed in school lunches over the years!   I think I lived off of PB&J as a young adult going through nursing school. I often skipped the bread all together and just made a mixture of PB&J to eat with a spoon.. Anyone else do that?

Mom's Potato Salad

It's the beginning of May and that means it's time for another blog swap via the Secret Recipe Club!

This month I was assigned to Amanda who writes the blog Dancing Veggies.  Amanda is a 20-something vegetarian whose blog focuses on vegetarian recipes that are quick, easy and whose ingredients are easy to find in any market. But the one that caught my eye while browsing her recipe index was her mom's recipe for potato salad.

Breakfast Sausage Muffin Cups

My new blogging friend, Anyonita, asked me to guest post for her this week while she was vacationing in Spain!   I love Anyonita's blog, Anyonita Nibbles, with all the mouthwatering recipes and gorgeous photos and the very helpful blogging tips!   I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to write about, but then I remembered she has recently been told to avoid gluten.  So, I wanted to post about something that was diet friendly for her too. That's when I decided I would share these delicious Breakfast Sausage Muffin Cups.
