Delicious Blueberry Muffins Using Mayonnaise

   If you have a lot of mayonnaise on hand, that needs used up before its expiration date, here are some quick ways to not waste it! Did you know you can use the mayonnaise as a coating for your chicken, before applying the breadcrumbs and frying? I did this the other day and it made the chicken so much more delicious! You can also use the mayonnaise in baked goods (breads, muffins, biscuits, cake, ect.) Which is what I did recently, making these oh so yummy Blueberry Muffins. These muffins came out with a nice slight crunchy outer coating, and a soft, perfectly moist, inside. The best part is, you can't even taste the mayonnaise, it's great! I liked these muffins so much, I will definitely be making them again! To make these muffins, you need the following ingredients:

•  2 Eggs
  
• 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
• 1 cup of mayonnaise (I used Kewpie brand=best mayo evveerrr)
• 2 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1 TBSP of Cinnamon (give or take)
  
• 2 1/2 cups of flour
• 1 TBSP baking powder
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 3/4 cup of milk

 

Mix all of the above ingredients together and then add in your preferred amount of blueberries. You could also use any other type of mix in and it would probably be just as good! Think... Blackberries, chopped strawberries or apples, shredded carrots or zucchini, chocolate chips, oatmeal... there are so many options! Once everything is all mixed together, start adding dollops of the batter into your muffin pan, either lined with muffin liners or well greased. (I like to use avocado oil if I don't have liners.) Place your muffin tin in the oven and cook at 350° for approximately 25 minutes. Test muffin center with either a toothpick or butter knife- if it comes out clean, your muffins are done cooking and ready to cool. If it's slightly doughy still, cook for another 5-7 minutes, as oven cooking time varies. The muffins should be nice and golden, with the perfect outer crisp, and once cooled, they're ready to enjoy!!

Trying Out The Chocolate Pro-Keto Shake by Lean 180

   Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own. 

   I've been enjoying the new Pro-Keto Shake by Lean 180 over the last few days! This shake is made to help boost metabolism, suppress the appetite and speed up weight loss. It contains only 100 calories and 2g of sugar per serving, while also containing 20g of Protein! This is perfect to make in the mornings, mix with your choice of milk product and ice, and you have a delicious breakfast shake! 

   The chocolate flavor is delicious! It's like drinking a dessert every morning. The instructions say to mix with your choice of 6oz milk product and ice, but I've found it mixes just as good with water. I like to use 8oz as I found it too sweet with only 6oz. This shake can be mixed with bananas or other delicious items to make it even better! I haven't noticed a difference in it suppressing my appetite but I'm only 3 days in so it might take time. I really enjoy drinking it though and would love to try the other flavors!

   Visit skinnyjane.com for more information and purchasing the Lean 180 Pro-Keto Shake , which is available in 3 different flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, and Salted Caramel. They also have many other products to check out!

Hormel Chili and Their Variety of No Bean Flavors

  Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   Did you know that Hormel Chili has a variety of no bean flavors? I never see them in stores, so when I received this package of different flavor options, I was so very pleased, as we prefer no bean chili to those with beans in them. Better on the digestive system you know, lol. 

   I love using chili to season any kind of ground meat, as it gives it a great texture and flavor. It works great for nacho meat, tacos, hotdogs, baked potatoes, the obvious chili, and so much more! The flavors I received were: Chunky Beef Chili, Angus Chili, No Beans Original, Turkey, and Less Sodium, all No Beans included. Every single one had a great flavor and were so fun to try! 

Whats your favorite Chili Flavor or Recipe that includes Chili?

You can find all the Chili flavors by Hormel Chili, on their website, where they also have several other delicious products!

Chike Nutrition Win and Protein Coffee Shake

   I recently won an awesome little package from Chike Nutrition, with their brand shaker bottle and four packs of their High Protein Coffee Shakes.

 I can't believe each packet has the amount of caffeine of 2 espresso shots! Because of this and my sensitivities to too much caffeine, I only used a fourth of the pack at a time and still felt the jitters lol. 

 

   I used the Vanilla Iced Coffee Protein Powder blended with frozen pumpkin and it was pretty good, made for a nice breakfast. The other flavors I received are: mocha, original, and peanut butter.

What flavor would you most like to try?

Super Easy 2-4 Ingredient Sweet Potato Rolls

   These are the easiest Sweet Potato Rolls you could ever make, that literally call for just two ingredients!! 1 cup of Sweet Potatoes and 1 cup of Self Rising Flour. Though if you don't have self rising flour, it calls for a few more ingredients, to bring that total to a whopping 4 ingredients lol. The 4 ingredient sweet potato roll recipe is below:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1 cup of sweet potato

Mix all of the ingredients together to form a nice kneadable ball, and break off dough into 6 pieces. Roll each dough piece into their own separate ball, set them on greased baking sheet, and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. So so easy and tastes great with several different foods! I added extra seasoning to mine for a more savory taste. A little Garlic powder and a little Onion powder add a nice flavor. You could even add sugar and cinnamon instead, for a sweet roll! 

Quiche for a Crowd

Bigger than the average Quiche, this one will feed a crowd and look good doing so ;)

It fills a 4 quart 14x10x2 rectangle casserole pan and is so easy to make, this will become a family favorite! 

To make this quiche, you begin by first making the Crust.

You need the following ingredients for the CRUST:

Dash of Salt

2 2/3 cups of Flour

1/2 cup or more of butter

4TBS give or take of water 

Your choice of seasoning 

(I used Italian Seasoning, Garlic Powder, and Black Pepper)

   Mix dough together to be moldable to form into greased pan. Kind of like pizza dough texture, though it will be a little bit stickier, just make sure you get the dough pressed all across the pan and edges to form a nice crust on this quiche. Use a fork to poke lil holes across, and to crimp the edges for a nice look. Bake crust in the oven at 375 Degrees for about 20 minutes. During this time, get your egg filling ready. You can use any kind of filling add-ins but you will need the following for the FILLING:

12 Eggs

Seasoning

1-2 Cups of Cheese

Veggies and/or Meat  

   For ours, I used Cajun seasoning, as well as Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder. For the cheese, I used Pepper Jack. I say 1-2 Cups, because it depends on how cheesy you want yours to be. I think I used maybe a cup and a half. For the veggies, I used Spinach and canned (drained) tomatoes. For the meat, I used pulled pork, but just about any meat would be fine for this. 

   Blend all ingredients together, and once the crust has completed its 20 minutes, pull that out of the oven and pour in your recently made egg mix filling. Make sure it is spread all across the crust, and place back in the oven for about 45 minutes. Be sure to check on it, as ovens vary so it could be more or less time. Once cooked through all the way, pull out of the oven and let cool. Then enjoy!!

Mexican Baked Eggs Cast Iron Comfort Food

   Awhile back, I came across this really delicious Mexican Baked Egg recipe that seemed easy enough to make. My sweet husband decided to make it for dinner one night, using supplies we had on hand, and with a little flare of his own added to it! Ours came out so delicious! This dish is a comfort food of sorts, and really hits that spot when you're craving a hearty Mexican dish.

 To make this dish, you need an approximate of the following ingredients:

 To see the original recipe, visit domesticsuperhero.com for theirs, plus full instructions.

6 large eggs 

shredded cheese

diced peppers

chopped onions

1 tsp olive oil

seasoning (we used Cajun, black pepper, and garlic)

1 can of chopped tomatoes in juice

1 can of beans rinsed and drained

1 can of diced green chiles

(In our recipe, we didn't really follow along exactly, we just used what we had on hand and added in tator rounds for extra deliciousness.)

 

   Preheat oven to 450F. Oil your cast iron pan and begin layering the tator rounds. In a separate bowl, mix together the canned tomatoes with juice, beans, and diced green chilies (I think he used pico de gallo for ours) and place all that atop of the tator rounds. Lots of cheese was also sprinkled throughout all of this. We used Cheddar and Pepper Jack cheese. Once all this was layered into the pan, the eggs were cracked on top of it, and placed in the oven to bake until fully cooked. When the eggs were cooked, more cheese was sprinkled across the top, and set back in the oven on the broil to give the top a nice melted crispyness. Once cooked through, pull out the oven to cool for a few minutes. And enjoy!!

   I recommend adding extra pico de gallo and sour cream to the top! This dish was so very delicious. It's fantastic! One we will definitely be adding to our recipes to continue making in the future!

Baking with Milkman Instant Lowfat Dry Milk

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   A great item to have in your pantry is Milkman's Instant Low Fat Dry Milk! It's shelf stable for quite some time, until you are ready to use it, and each bag is the equivalent to one quart of milk. You can use it in several recipes, wet or dry, depending on what you make, and it works just like milk should!

The flavor is sweet and creamy, and it works great in baking recipes! I love that it can sit in your pantry as a powder and ready to use when needed, just by adding water! Such a great product to have on hand! I made delicious little biscuits and you couldn't even taste the milk in them! See how perfect they came out? :)

The Little Potato Company Terrific Trio Potatoes

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

    I love these little potatoes!! The "Terrific Trio" by The Little Potato Company are the best tiny potatoes I've ever eaten. They're so creamy and they bake in the oven quick and easy. Comfort Food at its finest.

   The potatoes come pre-washed, straight from the farm they were grown on. And the best part is you don't even have to peel these babies! They make an excellent dish, either by themselves or cooked in a dish. They are truly delicious potatoes, I would even say they are addicting haha. Me and my family loved them! In the bag I purchased, it contained three different types of potatoes: red, blue, and yellow creamers, each one with a slightly different taste.

   The potatoes were so easy to cook, all I did was chopped them in half, toss them in olive oil, added some seasoning, and baked them in the oven at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. The potatoes become soft and have an exquisite creamy taste, which makes them excellent even on their own! I made a delicious little potato salad with ours, filled with beans, chopped steak, and tomatoes, tossed with shredded Pepper-jack cheese, and laid over a bed of romaine - then drizzled with Kewpie Mayo!

I love everything about The Little Potato Company's Terrific Trio potatoes. I am amazed by their quality and that they have so many varieties. Check out their website at littlepotatoes.com to see all their products, as well as recipe ideas, and more!

Breakfast Stuffed Waffle Biscuits

   Have you ever made biscuits in a waffle iron? They don't quite fit right, at least in my experience, but if you can get the biscuits to fit enough to bake inside, the end result is delicious! 

   I made Breakfast Stuffed Waffle Biscuits, filled with eggs, ham, pepperoni, and cheese. You want the eggs to be precooked, so I made little muffin eggs in the oven, beforehand, but you can also do scrambled. 

You begin by taking a can of layered biscuits, so you can tear each biscuit apart, into two. Roll them flat, as flat as you can get them before they rip, then begin filling them with your eggs/meats ect. Top with the other layer you rolled and crimp the sides together. 

Place in the center of your well greased waffle iron and use as your normally would. When the iron is done, so is your stuffed biscuit! It comes out beautifully, with a little crisp on the edges, and it tastes even better!! 
 

   This is such a quick and easy meal to make, and the biscuits can be filled with all kinds of things that suit your tastebuds. Just beware, it left my waffle iron a mess, so the cleanup is not so fun. This was probably due to the grease/sauce from the cheese/meat, leaking out and burning. I might have just stuffed the biscuits too full 😌🤭
