Filling
1 C Sugar/Splenda
2 T Flour
1 t Cinnamon
1/8 t Nutmeg
1/4 t Salt
7 C Apples, Sliced
2 T Lemon Juice

Crumb Topping
1 C Brown Sugar, Packed
1/2 C Flour
1/2 C Quick Cooking Oatmeal (Not Instant!)
1/2 C Butter

Final Topping
1/4 C Caramel
1/2 C Pecans

Preheat over to 375F

If using pie crust, place in the bottom of a pie plate or casserole dish. Combine filling ingredients and mix well. Pour on top of crust.

Combine brown sugar, flour, and oatmeal. Mix well. Using hands or a fork, cut in butter. Sprinkle over pie.

Bake COVERED for 25 minutes. This prevents the crumb topping from burning. Remove cover and bake for another 25-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Remove from oven. Drizzle caramel and pecans over the top.

1lb lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 egg, beaten
2 cups cooked rice
4-6 bell peppers
1 (19 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15-16 ounce) jar salsa
1 to taste shredded cheddar cheese
1 to taste sour cream

Combine beef, onion, seasoning mix and egg in a large bowl.

Add rice and mix well.

Cut peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membrane.

Spread tomatoes on the bottom of an ovenproof 12 X 9 inch baking dish. The liquid from the tomatoes will reduce during cooking so if (like me) you like lots of sauce, add about a cup of water. This also helps make the peppers softer.

Place peppers, cut side up, on top of the tomatoes.

Spoon beef mixture into peppers, mounding as necessary.

Top each pepper with salsa.

Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 40-45 minutes or until beef is cooked thoroughly and peppers are soft.

Cover each pepper with cheese and return to oven, under the broiler, until the cheese melts- less than a minute, so watch carefully!

Serve with sour cream and additional salsa.

4 C Chicken Broth
4 C Peeled and Cubed Potatoes
1/4 C Minced Onion
1/2 t Seasoned Salt
1/4 t White Pepper
1/4 t Ground Red Pepper
1 (8 oz) PKG Cream Cheese, Cut Into Chunks

Combine broth, potatoes, onion, and spices. Boil on medium heat until potatoes are tender. Smash a few of the potatoes to release their starch for thickening. Reduce to low heat. Add cream cheese. Heat, stirring frequently, until cheese melts.

Steamed the potatoes, then plunged them in cold water to get the peels off.

1 lb chicken breast, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas, softened
1 1/2 cups grated Monterrey jack cheese or Mexican blend cheese, divided
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies

Preheat oven to 400F

Cook diced chicken breast, onion, and green pepper in oil until chicken is done and vegetables are soft.

Place about 1/2 c of filling and a about 1 TB of cheese into a tortilla. Place tortillas seam side down in a lightly sprayed 13x9 lasagna pan. Melt butter completely in the same pan. Add flour and stir until bubbly. Add chicken broth. Bring to a boil--sauce will thicken.

Stir in sour cream and chilies. Pour white sauce evenly over enchiladas. Top evenly with additional shredded cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly.

Be sure to use an over sized coffee mug for this. If you don't have one, be sure to set the cup on a paper plate in case it decides to run over the edges of the cup and make a mess.

About 1/2 C Chopped Fruit
1/4 C Sugar/Splenda
Cinnamon (or other flavorings)
2 Graham Crackers
1 Large Coffee Mug
Whipped Topping, Ice Cream, etc Optional

Chop up fruit into small pieces (strawberries, pitted cherries, peaches, apples, blueberries, pears, etc) and place in over-sized coffee mug.

Add sugar/splenda and whatever spices sound good...Just a shake or two. Stir well. Microwave a minute at a time, until fruit is soft, stirring after each minute. My peaches took 2 minutes.

Crush up 1 graham cracker. Mix into fruit. Transfer to a paper bowl and crumble the other graham cracker on top. You could also just eat it out of the mug if it's not too hot to handle. Serve with whipped topping, ice cream, or whatever you usually put on pie.

Original Recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/Dirty-Shrimp-in-Butter-Beer-Sauce-79606

This is my very first shrimp recipe! Shrimp is very healthy for you, but I generally only like it deep fried. Now i'm branching out and trying to find delicious shrimp recipes. Found this one while browsing "Superbowl recipes" and decided to give it a try! The original recipe called for butter, but I used olive oil because it's healthier for you. 1/4 C of oil, in my opinion was too much, so I'm going to cut it down to about 2 T and post results here at a later time. If you don't like things spicy, then leave out the crushed red pepper flakes and the cayenne pepper.

2 lbs Shrimp (I liked the already cooked kind because I don't know how to cook it just yet)
1/4 C Olive Oil
2 t Minced Garlic
1 t Oregano
1 t Basil
1 t Thyme
1/2 t Cayenne Pepper
1/2 t Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 t Salt
1/2 t Black Pepper
1/2 C Beer
Hot cooked pasta or Rice
2 C Frozen Veggies like Broccoli

Start pasta or rice cooking. Meanwhile combine olive oil, garlic, spices, and herbs in a pan. Saute on low heat until fragrant. Add frozen veggies, shrimp, and beer. Cover and simmer until warmed through and shrimp are done. Server over pasta or rice.
