Day 127: Roasted Corn

Original Source: Hugs and Cookies

No picture of the original here, but you can check it out on the recipe link below. This was very simple, and very tasty, even though I shy away from corn on the cob because it sticks in my teeth. A nice variation on the boiled or grilled corn I'm used to! A pass from the whole family.

Day 111: Baked Cheddar Broccoli Rice Cups

Original Source: Fountain Avenue Kitchen

What's not to love? Cheese? Broccoli? Rice... sign me up. This was very simple to make and other than a few tweaks to try next time  (there WILL be a next time) it was tasty.
Change 1) I'd have to use sharp cheddar because the regular was too mild to taste. And I love the taste of cheese.
Change 2) I won't use Minute rice again. I think it's disgusting and never use it anyway, but wanted to try this as per instructions. Instructions did offer the exchange for REAL rice. That's the way I'll go next time.

Oh, and one extra change, which was probably just my own fault... I didn't use enough non-stick spray because the bases of these balls didn't come out very pretty.

Otherwise, it's a nice side dish!

Day 103: Rotel Cups

Original Source: Normal Cooking

 My apologies. I have no photos of my finished product. I made them for Thanksgiving, and was in the middle of chaos when I pulled them out of the oven. By the time I reached for my camera... these babies were virtually GONE. They might have even been the hit of the "snack table."

I don't even like tomatoes, but because the recipe called for Rotel and it's the only brand I can stomach, I went for it. And HOLY GOSH were they good! They're simple to make, quick to cook, and faster to disappear. Highly recommend you try this one, so GET THE RECIPE HERE.

Side note: I think these would be fantastic with a shrimp on top since they are bite sized!
