Apple Nachos (Pinterest)

apple nachos

Like I said the other day, I don't typically make dessert during the week but when I saw this Pinterest recipe, I knew I could call it dessert when it really might qualify as a fruity side dish.  I didn't use the nuts but did use homemade hot fudge and homemade caramel sauce.  I think the apples were Gala and I definitely used the mini chocolate chips!  The kids devoured them!

Pumpkin Pie Bars

I don't typically make desserts during the week but when I was cleaning out my pantry the other day, I realized I had a can of pumpkin in there that hadn't been used from the holidays.  So, I used another Pinterest recipe and made these pumpkin pie bars.  Seriously, I could eat pumpkin anything all year long.  So could my #1 child.  We love anything pumpkin!  (I did a graham cracker crust instead of the nuts because of my #3's allergy).

Bean and Rice Burritos

There was a day last week that I realized I'd forgotten to plan a dinner for.  I don't know about you but I have to plan each meal that I'm going to cook, buy the ingredients and stick to the plan.  If I don't, I end up using ingredients that I shouldn't and then wind up needing them later.  By the end of the week, our fridge is bare and so is the pantry.  So, here it was, Friday night and I'd kind of changed up the menu that week.  What I'd planned to cook I realized I'd used the ingredients in other stuff and now didn't have what I needed.  And of course, I didn't realize this until about and hour before My Man was to be home and we needed to be eating dinner.  So...this brings me to this Pinterest Recipe.  Man, what would I do if I didn't have Pinterest to turn to in a pinch?  I had all the ingredients I needed and it was a cinch to make.

Babycakes Corn Dog Nuggets

These were super yummy!  And very easy - the kids gobbled them right up and I did too!

Pinterest: Zucchini Fritters

Made these yesterday after church.  While my boys ate french fries with their grilled hamburgers, My Man and I ate these zucchini fritters.  Super yummy!
