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.

Easy Fettucine Alfredo

8 oz fettucine noodles
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
dash of pepper
2 tsp. parsley

 1. Cook noodles according to package. Drain and keep warm.
 2. In a medium-sized saucepan, heat butter and whipping cream over low heat, just until melted. Stir    
to blend.
 3. Stir in cheese, salt and pepper.
 4. Pour sauce over hot noodles. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve!

I LOVE LOVE this recipe!!! It's super delicious and super easy! Its one of my new favorites! I recommend storing the sauce and noodles separately. 

Ranch Roasted Potatoes

2 pounds red potatoes, washed and quartered
1/4 cup vegetable or olive oil
1 (1-ounce) packet dry Ranch dressing mix

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with foil and set aside. Place potatoes in a resealable plastic bag and add oil. Toss to coat completely and add dry salad dressing mix to the bag. Toss once again to coat potatoes in dressing mix. Bake on prepared baking sheet 35 minutes, or until potatoes are brown and crisp.
Makes 6 servings!

We also liked this recipe a lot. It was crazy easy. We thought they almost tasted like potato wedges. Next time I think I would add just a little season salt to add a little more flavor!

Baked Buffalo Wings

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
20 chicken wings
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup hot pepper sauce (for example, Franks RedHot sauce)
Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for dipping.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray. Place flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt into a resealable plastic bag and shake to mix. Make sure chicken wings are completely dry and add them to the bag. Seal bag and toss until wings are well coated with flour mixture.

Place wings onto prepared baking sheet and place in refrigerator. Chill at least 1 hour to prevent wings from getting soggy. (For faster preparation, place wings in the freezer about 20 min)

Whisk together melted butter and hot sauce in a small bowl. Dip wings into butter mixture, and place back on baking sheet. Bake about 45 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and is crispy on the outside. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F. Rotate wings halfway through cooking time so they cook evenly.

Serve with your favorite dips or eat plain-they are delicious either way!
Makes 20 wings.

We really liked this recipe but they weren't really very hot. So if you like the flavor of buffalo wings without the heat these were made for you! We ate them with carrots and ranch! I have a picture of my cute husband enjoying these but I've been forbidden to post it…men. ;)

I got this recipe out of my "Six Sisters Stuff" recipe book and I LOVE THIS RECIPE!!!! Dallen actually made it and we think it turned out great! We served them on our homemade hamburger buns! I even think you could alter this recipe to make a chili out of it! Mmm it is delicious!

Banana Pumpkin Bread

I had bananas…I had pumpkin.. they needed used so I looked up a banana pumpkin recipe. I wasn't a huge fan of this bread but I should have known when you mix two nasty things together it won't turn out delicious. It needs chocolate….or something. But if you are a banana/pumpkin fan you might actually enjoy this. Recipe here.
