Spinach and Tortellini Crock Pot Soup

This recipe called for a lot more ingredients than I am used to using (because I like easy fast recipes lol) but it turned out pretty well. Even though it says "creamy" in the title for some reason mine did not turn out creamy and that is the only thing that would have made it better so if you can figure that out you will be set! Recipe here. 

Lemon Ricotta Pasta

On a scale of 1-10 I would rate this recipe at like a 6 or 7, It wasn't my fav but it also wasn't too bad! Which might be my own fault, I may have added too much lemon on accident so it was pretty lemony so we ate ours with french bread and that seemed to help! I would say give it a try! We aren't big pepper eaters so I left those out and I also didn't put as much spinach as it called for cuz it just seemed like too much. Find it here!

3 Ingredient Crock Pot Chicken Tacos

I'll be honest I was a little worried this recipe wasn't going to turn out very well but it surprised me by turning out really well! Sorry I didn't take a picture. Any salsa and taco seasoning mix will do so you can experiment with flavor! I love it and love how easy it is! You will not regret trying this recipe! Enjoy! 

Ranch Pasta Salad

This recipe makes a lot of pasta...so if there are only two of you I would cut the recipe in half. We are still eating this salad and I made it over a week ago! Its a good recipe and one that you can pretty much add whatever you want! I added olives because what is a pasta salad without olives?! Next time I make this recipe I will 86 the peppers and the yogurt and just use all mayo. (I don't use miracle whip because I think its nasty!) Recipe here!

Cinnamon Crumb Banana Bread

So we all know I like to bake, so when bananas go "bad" at work I like to take them home and try out new recipes and then take the spoils back to work. This one has a tragic ending but I will most definitely be trying it again! This is what happened....

I followed the recipe the way I was supposed to, put it in the oven for the time I was supposed to and then did a toothpick test, (which doesn't usually lead me astray) for some reason the toothpick came out clean so I assumed it was done. After it had cooled for a while Dallen helped me take it out so it could cool...we set it on the cooling rack and then we watched as the top sunk....right out the bottom of the bread and on to the counter. It was not cooked at all in the middle, I mean it was literally pure batter! I was so disappointed! So we decided we might as well try the crust and this is where the story gets even more sad...we both thought it was really good...and we don't even like banana bread all that much!!! Dallen even said I should save the recipe. He also told me I should put this fail on the blog because "people love that sort of thing" ha ha. So I hope you enjoyed my fail, one of many. I do recommend this recipe just cook it longer than I did! You can find it here!

Chewy Granola Bars

I had a request for my granola bars, which really aren't mine but its okay! I ABSOLUTELY love these granola bars! They are simply the best! They are easy and you can just add whatever you want to them, cater them to your taste! 

 I like to double the recipe and bake them on a cookie sheet. You can never have too many granola bars. Also just a word to the wise; These should be sticky, do not add more flour! So miss Allison, here it is! Enjoy! 

Sausage, Potato, Spinach Soup!

So, the Three Little Pigs apparently struggle with consistency haha. It's been awhile since any of us posted. I usually try out one new recipe a week but sometimes making it is a lot of work so posting about it is an after thought. I'll try to be better though.

I found the recipe on Pinterest and I've tried it twice, so it's pretty darn good and fairly easy to make.

I only have one caution and that is to try your soup before you add the red pepper flakes. I didn't think it was hot per se...the warmth just kinda creeped up on you after a few bites. So to be on the safe side test it first.
