Living Insanity's Loving Food

  We have made this mushroom ramen recipe from Hello Fresh before.  I did add a protein, ground turkey, and I made my ground turkey meatball recipe.  This was so good!  

  I ended up making this recipe a little too salty!  Be careful. Crispy Chicken and Bacon Alfredo

We headed to the beach with Maple and Penny.  We had to have Rosenfeld's for lunch because they have decided to close their Ocean City MD location!  You can still visit the DE ones.  Boyfriend had pastrami and corned beef and I had turkey reuben.  The sandwiches are expensive, but huge.  We ate half for lunch one day and the other half the next day.  YUM  

  We went to the Wizarding day in old Ellicott City and bought a jar mix for butterbeer cupcakes.  These turned out very good and made so many!  We made them in a regular muffin tin but they were supposed to be mini.  We had almost 24 regular sized cupcakes!  

2 cans tomato sauce 2 cans kidney beans, drained 1 green pepper 1 jalapeno 1 onion 1 lb ground beef, browned 1 packet chili seasoning Stir all together and cook in crockpot on low for about 4 hours.   Add any toppings you like.  I do cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, and tortilla chips.  The boyfriend likes his with cornbread.  

Topped with green onions, bacon, and sour cream.   There is so much dairy in this soup!  The recipe is here 4 large baking potatoes (baked and scooped out. you can use the skins for something else) 6 cups milk 3/4 cup flour 3/4 cup butter 2 t salt 2 t pepper 1 t garlic powder 4 green onions 1 cup cheddar cheese 12 strips of bacon 8 oz. sour cream I suggest prepping everything first as this recipe goes pretty fast. Chop your green onions (3 for soup, 1 for topping later), shred your cheese, fry and chop your bacon. In a HEAVY bottomed pot melt your butter, then add your flour and whisk until it's smooth and bubbling. Slowly whisk in milk. When bubbling, turn to low and add salt, pepper, green onions, garlic, bacon, and cheese. Add the sour cream just before finishing. Top with extra sour cream, cheese, and bacon, or however you like it.

 My niece made these pickles :)   Turkey burgers have salt, pepper, and diced onions mixed in. Mashed potatoes have butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a bag of pre washed spinach on a foil lined sheet pan. The first time I made this I used the tomatoes whole and the second time I cut them in half.  I think it's easier to eat them when they are cut in half. Cut the tomatoes and sprinkle on top of the spinach. Cut up some flavored chicken sausage and sprinkle on top of the spinach. You can add cut up mushrooms here.   Drizzle everything well with olive oil, add a bit of pepper and Italian seasoning. Add a few dollops of pre made pesto. Use tongs and mix everything up well. Put the block of feta in the center of the pan. Sprinkle the feta with a bit of Italian seasonings too. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. While the sheet pan is in the oven prepare the gnocchi as the package directs.  The first time I made gnocchi that had wheat flour and I boiled them for a few minutes and they were fine.  The second time I had gluten free and they made mashed potatoes when in the boiling water :(  We went out
