Packing and Baked Cheddar Broccoli Rice Cups

Here is the last of the packing process pictures before I moved....

 And here is a recipe from Pinterest that I was really looking forward to...

Make some rice with chicken stock instead of water...

 Stick it in a bowl....

 Add thawed frozen broccoli, cheddar cheese, 2 eggs and salt and pepper....

 Mix it all up like a meatloaf and stick into a muffin pan...

 Top with some more cheddar cheese....

 And bake!

These were soooo goood...I love broccoli/rice mixtures!

Christmas and Parmesan Meatloaf

Here are some pics from the Linley Christmas that we had in the church basement...

 And here is another recipe from Pinterest: Parmesan meatloaf....

Ground beef, 2 eggs, breadcrumbs, basil, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese....

 Squish it all up...

 Top with marinara sauce and bake....

 You're supposed to top it with an Italian cheese blend, but I apparently got too hungry and just ate it as soon as  I took this pic.

This was pretty good, and gave a good flavor to regular meatloaf.



Packing and Loaded Mashed Potatoes

Here are some more progress pictures of packing...

 This recipe I ripped out of a magazine a long time ago...

Cut up and boil the potatoes...

 I had actually already packed my hand mixer...so I just smashed the potatoes with the mixer attachment...

 Add the butter and salt and pepper...

 Cover with bacon bits and cheese...I actually used the wrong type of cheese also, LOL

 And bake.

This tasted kinda bad right after I made it, but when I took some to work and reheated it, it was really good...

 And here is the first big snowfall after Christmas

Books and Blueberry Breakfast Cake

Here is the next book I finished reading...

Another one from one of my favorite authors Dean Koontz with some really creepy stuff going on...

 And I made Blueberry breakfast cake, from Pinterest, on Christmas Eve to eat on Christmas morning.

Mix the sugar and butter...

 Add the egg and vanilla....

 In another bowl coat the blueberries with flour....

 Add some more flour to the wet mixture...

 Both mixes ready to go....

 And mix them both together and bake.

 This was really good especially when you warm it up!
