Rinse and Repeat: Margarita Grilled Chicken with Pineapple Mango Salsa

Margarita Grilled Chicken with Pineapple Mango Salsa

‘Tis the season to Rinse and Repeat! With only a few more days left until Christmas life always finds a way to get busier and busier, no matter how organized or prepared you are. Or in my case aren’t… I take all the short cuts I can get in the kitchen. Rinse and Repeat is [...]

Rinse & Repeat: Strawberry Rhubarb Applesauce Muffins

Strawberry Rhubarb Applesauce Muffins

I’m not sure how it’s possible, but it just seems like there is NEVER enough time! I realized last night that my husband has been deployed for almost two months, and I have no idea where the time has gone. I had all these great plans of sorting through the attic while he was gone [...]

Rinse and Repeat: Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Candied Bacon Bits

Brown Sugar Pecan Candied Bacon

Seriously… Bacon and mashed potatoes are the two things my family either always runs out of or has leftover.  When I make a small amount we run out, [...]

Rinse and Repeat: Sausage Vegetable Sandwiches

I had one leftover Sausage Vegetable Packet from last night which I used to make a sandwich today, and it was SOOOO good. I used those little King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, and the sweetness of the roll complemented the sweetness of the onions perfectly. Mmm..I didn’t even bother to warm it up first, but you [...]

Rinse and Repeat: Caprese Pinwheels

The first time I made the Caprese Tomato Bites I WAY overestimated the amount of cheese mixture it would take to fill up that little pint of cherry tomatoes. I ended up with half of the cheese mixture leftover. So I took the leftover sheet of puff pastry from the Spicy Bacon Butterflies and made [...]
