Earlier this month I ordered garlic fries from a restaurant I was eating at and got hooked. I then ordered garlic fries a couple days later at a different restaurant. As I was eating those fries the thought came into my mind that it was probably easy to make them at home. This would save me some money and it would be something different to make.

I was right, they are simple to make and delicious to eat! I posted these garlic fries on Instagram and Facebook and my friends asked me how to make them. For those of you that love garlic fries, here is a simple and easy recipe to use:

 
I like to dip my garlic fries in ranch, what about you?

Ever since a friend introduced me to the La Bou Dill Dressing sauce with bread I craved it. Being the cook in the house I figured it was easier to make my own at home. I don’t have a La Bou close and making it at home is way to easy!

Here is a recipe that I use for a dipping sauce that takes like the dill dressing at La Bou.

Copycat La Bou Dill Dressing Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
• 1/4 cup mayo
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tbsp Dill Weed

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients in a bowl and use whisk to mix.
2. Serve with a side of bread and enjoy.

Now I am not sure what kind of bread La Bou serves but I like to either make my own or use the King’s Hawaiian Bread to use with this dipping sauce.

I received Heinz®, Johnsonville® and Ocean Spray® products in exchange for sharing this recipe. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

When it comes to meatballs, I can’t say that I make them very often. I have made them for my spaghetti years ago but it wasn’t something I ever thought about making until this past weekend! I made tasty meatballs that I want to make again…
I was recently asked to make the Ultimate Party Meatballs. I love trying new dishes so I agreed but I wasn’t that excited about making the meatballs until I smelled them cooking in my crockpot. Let me mention the ingredients and I will explain why.

1. Heinz Chili Sauce
2. Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce
3. Johnsonville Classic Italian Meatballs

Now I like stuff that is spicy, so I didn’t mind the chili sauce. I like cranberry juice but I have never been a fan of the cranberry sauce. My Nana used to serve it at our Thanksgiving dinner and I never put it on my plate.

Now I never judge a recipe by it’s ingredients without trying it so I was up to try the meatballs once they were done. After cooking for a few hours and smelling the meatballs brewing in the crockpot, I had to taste just one. That lead to me tasting a couple more. Lets just say that the meatballs got eaten before I could take some good pictures with them! I definitely will be adding these to our list of dishes to make this month for Thanksgiving dinner.

If you are a fan of meatballs, I encourage you to give this YUMMY recipe a try too!

When was the last time you tried some homemade meatballs?

Now that the weather has finally cooled down, I have really been using my oven. I have been making a lot of homemade breads since I learned to make bread at school but I have been making a lot more! I am a big fan of casseroles and had been wanting to try a recipe I found a few months ago in my Taste Of Home magazine.

Since the recipe turned out YUMMY and I plan on making it again, I thought I would share the recipe here too.

Here is what it looks like once you cut into this delicious casserole….

What else would you add into this casserole? Or maybe remove?

I LOVE this time of year. Not only is it sweatshirt weather, it is also time to make desserts that include pumpkin. I don’t know why, but picking pumpkins is always fun no matter how old I get. I enjoy carving them and I also enjoy eating them.
