Recipes from today's show :) Spaghetti and Meatballs 

The cool front is here, my friends, and I really think you'll like my Chicken Enchilada Chowder! It's hearty and heart-warming! ½ cup onion, chopped
1 cup each of:  Milk, water & chicken broth
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained

1 teaspoon each of cumin, salt and pepper (add more if needed)
1 tablespoon Siratcha or your favorite hot sauce
1 cup shredded Pepper jack cheese
Additional cheese, sour cream, avocado and tortilla chips for topping chowder, if desired
In a large pot, brown the onion in the butter and olive oil for about 6 minutes.  Add all remaining ingredients except the cheese and simmer on low for 1 hour.  Just before serving, stir in Pepper jack cheese until melted.  Place in a bowl, and top the chowder with additional cheese, sour cream, avocado and tortilla chips, if desired.

Halloween will be here before we know, so I wanted to share some of my recipes with you all :) 2 lbs. ground beef
1 (28-ounce) can Rotel
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 can French Onion soup
2 cans kidney beans (I get 1 can of dark and one can of light beans)
1 can chili beans
4 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon each of salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ t. cocoa powder
Brown beef with the onion and bell pepper.  Drain the beef and place back into a large pot.  Stir in the flour until mixed well and add all of the remaining ingredients.  Simmer at least an hour, but the longer it simmers on very low, the better it is!  You may want to taste it as you cook it to see if you desire more of any of the seasonings.  I serve my chili with grated sharp cheddar, jalapenos and sour cream J

1 (6-ounce) package Mexican or regular cornbread mix (the kind you just add milk or water to)
1 fresh jalapeno seeded and chopped or a small can jalapeno
1 (7-ounce) can Mexicorn
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
Add the amount of milk it states on the back of the package and then add the remaining ingredients well and spoon into a well-greased 24-count mini muffin tin.  Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until browned.

12 eggs, boiled and peeled
3 tablespoons mayo
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
¼ cups Wickles Pickles, chopped
Dash of hot sauce, optional
Whole-pitted black olives
Cut eggs in half and carefully slip out the yolks into a medium bowl.  Add the remaining ingredients, except the olives, and stir well.  Scoop a teaspoon of yolk mixture into each egg white.  Slice black olives in half and place one on top of each egg for the body of the spider.  Slice the olives to make 8 thin slices for each egg—4 legs on each side—and place them around the body to create the look of a spider.  Wickles Pickles are a sweet and spicy pickle, but if you can’t find them, any of your favorite pickles will do J  Tip for boiling eggs:  Place eggs in a large pot of water.  Bring to a boil.  As soon as the water comes to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, turn off the stove and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.  Let them sit for 13 minutes then rinse with cold water.  This is a trick my mom-in-law taught me, and they are always very easy to peel and never overcooked.

24 NUTTER BUTTER cookies
1 package of white almond bark (you can find this on the baking aisle)
mini semisweet chocolate chips
Line a large cookie sheet with wax paper.  Melt the almond bark in the microwave according to the package directions.  Dip each cookie into the almond bark and place onto the wax paper.  Press 2 chocolate chips onto each cookie for the eyes.  Place in the fridge until the almond bark sets.
3 cups Honey-Nut Cheerios
2 cups chow mein noodles
1 cup honey-roasted peanuts
½ cup raisins
½ cup orange and black M&M’s
½ cup candy corn
½ cup each of peanut butter chips and white chocolate chips
Mix in a large bowl and store in a large airtight container.  This will keep for several weeks and kids will love it!

Recipes from this morning's show :) 1 cup cola (not diet)
4 pork chops (bone-in and 1/2 “ thick)
1 onion, sliced (optional)
salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder

Season pork chops generously on both sides with seasonings.  Sear both sides for 1 minute in a skillet.  Mix first 3 ingredients together.  Place the pork chops in a baking dish, then place sliced onions over pork chops and pour cola mixture over them.  Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour.   Let them rest 5 or 10 minutes before serving.


1 tablespoon olive oil & 2 tablespoon butter
1 lb. frozen Italian-cut green beans
1 package country ham, chopped
salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder

Saute’ ham in the olive oil and butter for about 10 minutes or until browned.  I like to remove at least half the ham and discard it.  Add the onions and sauté 5 minutes.  Add the green beans and pour enough water in the pot just to cover them.  Add seasonings and bring to a boil.  Once it’s boiling, turn on low and simmer for 1 hour.


1 can cream-style corn
1 can whole-kernel corn, drained
1 6-ounce package Jiffy corn bread mix

Combine all ingredients and mix well.  Pour into a greased 13x9x2 pan, and bake at 350 for 1 hour.


Crust & Topping:
½ cup oatmeal (I use quick-cooking oats)
1 stick plus 4 tablespoons real butter, melted

3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ¼ cups water
3 cups of apples, sliced and peeled (I use Granny Smith)

Combine the first 5 ingredients, mixing well.  Set aside 1 cup (this will be for the topping).  Press the rest of the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate.  For the filling, place the water and cornstarch into a small saucepan and stir until the cornstarch has dissolved.  Add the sugar and place the saucepan on the stove and bring to a boil.  Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or just until mixture begins to thicken.  Remove from heat and stir in the apples, cinnamon and vanilla.  Pour this mixture into the crust and top it with the 1 cup of the reserved crust/topping mixture.  Bake at 350 for 40 to 50 minutes or until golden brown.  Let it cool for about 20 minutes before serving.  Add a dollop of vanilla ice cream before serving, if desired J  Enjoy!
