More Yummy Recipes

I have been trying so many new recipes, it is hard to keep track of them all. And yet, there are so many more I want to try. My organization skills these days have gone out the door, unfortanetly!!

I have tried several different Sloppy Joe recipes but this was was really good....Sloppy Joes. Same with Mac and Cheese....there are two I have found to really love (I am sure I have shared at least one). Baked Macaroni and Cheese and Macaroni & Cheese.

And then...You gotta try these - Fried Mozzarella Sticks (I found Planko bread crumbs at Smith's).

A few more fav's:
Twice Baked Potatoes
Chicken Piccata - VERY YUMMY!!!
Fiesta Beef Bowls
Buffalo Chicken and to keep things cool with Sweet Cucumber Salad.
Oh yes....with the Buffalo Chicken I replaced the provalone cheese with crumbled blue cheese.

Happy eating :)
