Where Every Penny Counts
Would you believe it if I told you these were made out of Jello? How cool is that? This is going to be so much fun to make with the kids. They don’t even really like Jello, but I have a feeling they are going to change their minds after this recipe. Thanks Joy of Jello!

I found this recipe in Taste of Home Magazine a few years ago. I haev found that there are lots of great slow cooker recipes using chicken, but recipes using beef are harder to come by. This recipe is easy to make (I can throw it together in about 5 minutes in the morning if I buy the pre-cut stew meat) and my whole family loves it. We usually serve ours over mashed potatoes instead of noodles.
Ingredients:
1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound), cut into 1-inch cubes
2 to 3 medium carrots, chopped
1 to 1-1/2 cups chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion (I omit)
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed golden mushroom soup, undiluted
1/2 to 1 cup white wine or beef broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
Hot cooked egg noodles
Directions:
In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the beef, carrots, celery, onion, soup and wine or broth. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until meat is tender.
Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into cooking juices. Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes or until thickened. Serve with noodles.
NOTE: I also add a beef bouillon cube for flavor when I put everything together in the slow cooker.
I pinned this a couple of days ago on Pinterest and several people have repinned it since then so I thought I would share it with you too. If the picture isn’t enough of a sell, then here is what the maker has to say about it. Carmelitas are “like a buttery oatmeal cookie that swallowed a caramel-filled chocolate bar and then got bibitty-bobitty-booed by the dessert fairy godmother and received an extra dose of deliciousness.” Thanks for the recipe Lulu the Baker! I cannot wait to make these, but no promises on sharing with the family.

These days we are trying really hard to eat healthier in our house. As part of that, we have some sort of salad for dinner at least once a week. Let’s just say my 2, 4 and 6 year old children were not that excited about the idea of dinner being lettuce, but I found a solution that works great. Instead of mixing everything together in a big salad bowl, I place each ingredient in a spearate bowl and let the kids build their own salads. They absolutely love it and actually look forward to salad night now. It is because of this success that I now try to find as many meals as possible where the kids can “build” their own food. These mini frittatas are perfect. I can already tell this is going to become a family favorite. Who says eggs can only be for breakfast? Thanks Disney Family Fun!

Seriously, this recipe is so easy that I may never buy ice cream at the store ever again! It only requires two ingredients and no need for an ice cream maker. Can it really be that easy? Yes, yes it can. Now I just need to decide on a flavor. So many to choose from… Thanks Kevin and Amanda!
