Mushroom-Smothered Burgers
I’m not a big beef eater, but when I saw this recipe I had to try it! I found it at Campbell’s Kitchen, and it sounded good, quick, and easy. I love mushrooms and the words Mushroom-Smothered sure caught my attention! 🙂 When I do cook with beef, I like to use lean beef that is free of hormones…

Candy Corn “PayDay” Mix
I really like the taste of sweet-and-salty things. I ate a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as a kid, and I’ve always loved PayDay candy bars. I don’t eat candy bars that often, but every once in awhile I indulge in a PayDay. If you like PayDays too, then you will like this Candy…

Fresh-Squeezed Lemonade and Iced Tea Lemonade
Lemonade always sounds good on a hot day, and I think the fresh-squeezed kind is always the best! I don’t know why I don’t make this more often, because it tastes so good! And it’s not that much work to use fresh-squeezed lemon juice. This is a variation of a recipe from Domino Sugar.

Cheesy Spinach Bake
This Cheesy Spinach Bake casserole is a great way to enjoy spinach! I like it because it’s made with fresh baby spinach, not frozen, and two kinds of cheese–Sharp Cheddar and Monterey Jack. I found this recipe at MyRecipes and changed it a little by using spicy mustard instead of Dijon mustard, and adding extra…
