My idea of a great recipe is something that has few ingredients, easy on the budget, and tastes homemade! That's the theme of some of my favorites. Enjoy!
Breakfast:
Red Velvet Pancakes (great on 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day) -

Combine:
Hungry Jack Complete pancake mix
Water per back of the box
A few drops of red food coloring
Serve warm with cream cheese or syrup.
Snacks:
Festive Popcorn Mix -
Place the following on wax paper:
Popcorn
Chex cereal
Pretzel rods
Festive colored M&M's, candy corn, Reece pieces, etc.
Melt white candy melts in the microwave per instructions. I use Wilton's candy melts.
Pour over the popcorn mixture.
Add colored sprinkles and pop in the fridge for an hour to let it harden.
Sugar Cookies -
Betty Crocker bagged sugar cookie mix
Add few drops of almond oil (makes it taste homemade)
Mix in some M&M's or top with canned cream cheese frosting.
Thanksgiving:
Stuffing Cupcakes
1 loaf white bread
1 small celery bunch diced
1 large onion diced
2 eggs
2 sticks unsalted butter
1/4 Cup Turkey Stock (since we fry the turkey now, I use it from a can)
Salt & Pepper (I definitely don't measure so.... however much you like???)
Preheat oven to 350
Melt butter in a large pot, stir in chopped onions, salt & pepper and cook until onions are cooked (clear).
Add celery & cook over low heat until tender. Tear loaf of bread into small pieces & add to pot w/ onion mixture & mix evenly.
Turn off heat & let cool, 15-20 minutes.
Crack eggs into mixture, add turkey stock & mix (I use my hands!). Once mixture is wet, scoop out and put into greased cupcake/muffin tin (no paper/liners).
Bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes, or until brown on top.

Homemade Cinnamon Butter
1 stick unsalted butter (softened/room temp)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup honey (I use a little less)
1 tsp. cinnamon
Whip butter in mixer for about 30 seconds.
Add powdered sugar, honey & cinnamon - mix together until fully combined.
Turn up speed & whip for another minute or two until mixture becomes light & fluffy.
Best served on warm rolls!! :)
