Super Easy Pizza Burgers

I remember having these for hot lunch when I was in grade school.  I found 2 recipes that I combined together to come up with this super easy meal.  My family inhaled it.  There was not any left.  I am going to double it next time and see if I can freeze them.  They were so easy and tasted just like I remember.
 
Hope you enjoy!

Sausage Dip II

I wanted to make 2 dips for a night in with friends and I only had 2 bricks of cream cheese.  Every recipe that I had used 2 bricks.  I found this one here and it only used one.  Everyone loved it and it super yummy.  My hubby cleaned the pan after my friends left.  It will move into my permanent appetizer rotation.  I have a couple favorites that I seem to take everywhere.  Plus I get asked to bring certain ones back by my friends hubbys.  I am glad they like my dips.

Enjoy!

Hot Dip

I had friends over to kick off my long holiday weekend and decided to try a couple new recipes.  I loved this as did my hubby.  It was easy and pairs well with triscuits.  I love making dips especially hot dips and I had some left over.  It heated up really well and was just as yummy the next day.  It was exactly what a needed for a night in with girlfriends and beverages.  What more can you ask for.
Here is where I found the recipe on Pinterest but I didn't add the pecans and will NOT add the extra butter on top next time.  It was not needed. You can see it melted on top of my dip in the photo below.

Enjoy

Mrs. Dash's Chicken and Pasta

I have had this recipe forever.  My neighbor (now long gone) made it for us when I had my son (soon to be the big 9 year old).  It was fabulous and I had to have the recipe.  She was great about sharing and my oldest requested this all last week.  I had forgotten about it and realized that I hadn't ever shared this recipe.  It is super easy and I always have all the ingredients on hand.  We had an empty square on the calendar last night and I thought I would make it again.  I always make too much and have left overs which is never a bad thing.

Hope you enjoy!
