24. Favorite dessert or sweet recipe

In the last year or so my go to quick and easy dessert is a peach crunch cake from bakerella . It is so easy, the only difference between bakerella's recipe and mine is that she uses walnuts and I prefer pecans.

 First preheat the oven to 350.



pour a 24.5 oz jar of sliced peaches in light syrup into a 9x13 pan
then cut them into smaller pieces



sprinkle a box of yellow cake mix on top, try to make it even

cut a stick of butter into little pieces, arrange them like so






sprinkle with 1 cup brown sugar then 1/2 cup chopped pecans



bake for 40 min. serve with icecream and enjoy!



Blog Challenge: Day 10

10. Family's favorite dinner recipe

The last few months our favorite meal has been meatloaf, mashed potato snowballs and corn casserole. Its really easy and fairly quick to put together.

For the meatloaf I use a packet of Mc Cormick meatloaf seasoning, and I follow the recipe on the back of the packet. Easy and yummy!

For the snowballs I use instant mashed potatoes because they tend to get thicker and its faster. Make the mashed potatoes as usual then let them sit and get thick. Using a cookie scoop (med), scoop the mashed potatoes and gently release them into the breadcrumbs, then use your fingers to completely coat the outside of the ball.  Put them on a cookie sheet, spray them lightly with cooking spray then bake at 350* for at least 10 min. You can let them get as crispy as you want. Sorry I dont have a picture of them, just trust me, they are yum!


Finally to complete the meal is this cheesy corn casserole recipe. Laurie (my mother-in-law) used this recipe when we visited them this past October and it is AWESOME! I also use this recipe for Thanksgiving, like I said, its awesome and everyone loves it. FYI, I dont use onions like the recipe calls for...eww!
