Southwest Chicken Burger
Southwest Chicken Burger Watch this recipe – You Tube Pin this recipe – Pinterest There is no denying my love for Mexican food! I could probably eat tacos every single day and never grow tired of them. My family does not share this love of mine, so I don’t make Mexican food at home very often. Telling your kids to eat their veggies is one thing, but asking them to finish their tacos and guac is probably frowned upon in today’s society. Everyone is typically working on being healthy! For not being a huge fan of Mexican food, my husband sure did enjoy this burger. He even asked me if…
Stuffed Chicken & Shells Casserole
Stuffed Chicken & Shells Casserole Lately, I’ve been glancing through a lot of the old cookbooks I inherited from my Nana. In one of the books, I came across a recipe for Chicken Stuffed Shells. The recipe looked delicious, however, the directions had more steps than I cared to follow. Since I can sometimes be lazy in the kitchen I decided to simplify this recipe by turning it into a casserole. I liked the idea of the shells but, hated the idea of stuffing each one individually which would take a lot of time. Instead, I decided to use a box of mini shells. Doing it this way not only saved…
Broccoli & Hash Brown Casserole
Broccoli & Hash Brown Casserole When I first started Burlap Kitchen I had no idea what I was doing. I still don’t, but I have learned a lot since starting this blog back in early 2014. I still have a long way to go, but I’m a firm believer in that old saying, “fake it till you make it!” So, until I make it, I will keep watering my dream until I blossom into the creative blogger I dream of being. As I sit here thinking about some of the recipe photos I’ve posted in the past I have to chuckle. Mostly because if I don’t, I’d probably cry from…
Semi-Homemade Pepperoni Pizza
Semi-Homemade Pepperoni Pizza Pizza has always been one of my favorites. It’s true what they say! “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” This is very true because my son loves pizza as well! I got the kiddos to help me with this recipe because they love pizza, and pizza is such a fun thing to make if you are teaching your kids how to cook. I love knowing that when I make this recipe, there will be none of the “I don’t want this!” arguments regarding what we are going to eat! Another fun idea is to serve this pizza with a mini salad bad. You can give…
Stuffing Balls
Stuffing Balls Making this stuffing ball recipe really reminds me of when my Nana was still around for the holidays. I remember how as soon as I walked into her house at Christmas, I’d be bombarded by her four dogs and the amazing aroma of turkey and stuffing wafting from the kitchen. I also remember how Nana would greet me with a kiss, and how as soon as she walked away, Pap would ask me if I wanted a beer. Of course, I always said no, though sometimes it may have helped me deal with my family’s craziness! Just kidding! I absolutely love my family and truly enjoy being around…
Honey battered Chicken Tacos
Honey Battered Chicken Tacos Hola! Tomorrow is Cinco De Mayo so what better month to celebrate tacos then May?! I’m starting the month off with these Honey battered Chicken Tacos. I know it sounds weird, but trust me, they’re delicious! This recipe actually came from my mom, I too, thought it sounded a little strange until I tried them. One bite had me thinking I was Ricky Martin and Livin’ La Vida Loca. Except my lips were more of an avocado green than a devil red. Reality did eventually set in. I realized that I wasn’t Ricky Martin and moving my hips that way should be outlawed… At least in my…
French Toast Bites
French Toast Bites For the past 4 years we have hosted Christmas dinner at our house. My family comes early Christmas morning and the house is instantly filled with laughter as we sip our coffee and open gifts . Normally, for breakfast, we just indulge in left over cookies and pie from the previous nights Christmas eve party. This is remarkably satisfying but I have always wanted to make Christmas breakfast for everyone to enjoy. Something they would look forward to Christmas morning. I want the house to smell like Christmas when they walk in. Keep it Simple Whatever I choose to make has to be something quick and easy…
