Cinnamon Apple Oats & Honey

Do you ever have too many apples that you just have no cotton pickin' idea what you are going to do with them? It's not like you are in the mood to pick one up and take a bite out of it. What do you do? I figured it out! My mom has given me a recipe from my Mamaw for rhubarb strawberry crisp, don't get too excited just yet. That recipe will be for later, let's take care of our apples for now.

It's so good your lips will SMACK you!

Apples in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes

What you will need:
6 Cups of sliced Apples keep in mind the more you have the more of the other ingredients you will need as well!

4 TBSP Cinnamon
2 Cups of Oats
2 TBSP Butter
5 TBSP Honey

Don't turn the oven on just yet or it will get too hot in the kitchen. Slice the apples, I used a tool to slice apples with one movement and also cores the apple too! While slicing the apples, put them aside in a bowl. In a separate bowl add cinnamon, apple spice, and oats.  After the apples have been sliced and cored, turn the oven on to 350 degrees. Put butter in a skillet and turn the heat on to medium to high, add apples (You want a LARGE Skillet so you can turn the apples and coat with the butter). While mixing the apples in the skillet, you will add just a 3 tbsp of the oats and cinnamon. Continue to cook on the stove for 10 minutes until the apples begin to get soft and break down, but not too soft. Then add the apples to a baking pan, add the honey and rest of the dry mixture. Mix the ingredients well and bake for 25 minutes! Take out of the oven and enjoy!

Bowl of Delicious Apple Bake!

This goes great with vanilla ice cream or even by itself!

Pretzel Parmesan Chicken Breast

Today I wanted to make something special for my husband and use what we already have at home. He is NOT a bird man, he is all about COW, ground beef, steaks... but sometimes the bird just HAS to win and this was a day for bird!

Ingredients:

2 Chicken Breast
2 c. crushed pretzels
1 tsp. Pink Salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. ground mustard
3 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese (the kind that you use to sprinkle over spaghetti)

Turn the oven on to 350 degrees. Add aluminum foil to a cookie sheet and spray with Pam Olive Oil. Add pretzels to a food processor to get 2 cups of crushed pretzels, then add salt, pepper, ground mustard, and crushed red pepper and blend well. Then put ingredients into a bowl and cover chicken breasts. Add the chicken to the cookie sheet and top with cheese. Cook chicken for 45 minutes.

Mouth Watering Meat Loaf with Dill Red Potatoes

Monday while I was at work, I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be nice if your husband came home to a meal?" So, after work I went to the store, used his card, and picked up food for dinner. Now, we both DO NOT LIKE MEAT LOAF! Now it could have been how it was cooked or what was used, whatever it was does not matter anymore because we absolutely love this recipe! If you never liked meat loaf YOU GOT TO TRY THIS! My husband, who is extremely picky about food said he would be willing to eat this three days in a row!

Meat Loaf
2 pounds of 93/7 ground beef
2 eggs
3/4 c. crushed crackers
3/4 c. ketchup
1/3 c. water
1 packet Lipton Secrets Onion
2 cloves of garlic (minced)

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together well in a bowl. Put the mixture into a meatloaf pan 13x9 preferably and cook for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. You can drain the excess grease into the garbage or a safe container, but not down the sink.

Dill Red Potatoes
7 Medium Red Potatoes
4 cloves of garlic (minced)
3 tsp hymilain salt
3 tsp black pepper
3 tsp butter
1/2 c. cream cheese
1/4 c. dried dill

Clean the potatoes and cut out the eyes, cut the potatoes in quarters and boil for 30 minutes or until you can easily put a fork in the potatoes. Remove the potatoes from the pot with a slated spoon into a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients along with a 1/4 c. of water the potatoes were boiled in and mash until all ingredients are mixed well.

Enjoy!!!!

I don't have any pictures because we ate this meal!
