Whole Wheat Pancakes

I think breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I just love everything about breakfast. We even try to have 1 breakfast dinner every week because we love it so much. These pancakes will make a great addition to your breakfast menus. Not only are the delicious but using whole wheat makes them healthier as well. I got this recipe from my wonderful mother in law, who I'm glad is always willing to share her recipes.

Greenie Morning Refresher

Do any of you readers like to juice? I've been experimenting with juicing lately and have made up some pretty tasty concoctions. This one I made this morning though has definitely been my favorite so far. Juicing for me has been such an amazingly refreshing way to start the morning off feeling healthier then ever.
Some of the benefits of juicing rather then throwing it together in a blender is that juicing removes the fiber, making it easier to absorb, and works faster. If you've ever wanted to try juicing but have been slightly intimidated by having vegetables mixed in, this is the recipe you want to try. The combination of fruits and veggies in this recipe work so well together that you don't even notice the veggies.

French Dip Sandwich

I love french dip. It's easy and no matter how you make it, it always comes out tasting delish. I uses to always eat it the classic way with just the meat, horseradish, and bun but lately I've been venturing out and trying some different ways. I believe I have found a keeper. If you like banana peppers you will love this recipe. I love the extra zing you get from cooking the meat with the peppers. Give it  a try. It won't disappoint.

BBQ Meatballs

Meatballs.  You can't get much easier then these for an amazing appetizer that requires no work at all. These bbq meatballs are always a crowd pleaser and I promise you will always have people asking for this recipe. Sometimes I don't like to share how easy it is because they taste like they should take more time and effort.

50-60 frozen meatballs (I like the Italian ones from costco)
9 oz bbq sauce (I use any original flavored kind)
9 oz grape jelly

1. Combine the bbq sauce and grape jelly in the bottom of your crock pot.
2. Add meatballs and stir to coat.
3. Set temperature to high, cover, and cook for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.

**Randi's Side Notes**
- I would keep an eye on these as they tend to brown more on the side that is in the liquid. I like to stir mine when I has about an hour left.

Oven Fried Pork Chops

I love pork chops. Usually they are a decent price and cook pretty fast. I have always cooked my pork chops the same way, in a pan on the stove with salt and pepper. So I ventured out to find a new way to cook them and came across this beauty of a recipe. This is great. The spice flavors are fantastic and I love the crunch the breading gives them. This will definitely be in the rotation of recipes for me.

Kung Pao Spaghetti

Wow. I've had this recipe pinned for quite a while and I've looked at it several times thinking I bet this dish is awesome. In the original posters blog post she mentioned that it was to mimic a dish found at California Pizza Kitchen. Well I had never been there when i first came across this recioe but a couple of months ago I decided to go with some girlfriends and my goal was to get this dish to decide whether I should make it at home. Super long and ridiculous story cut short, the dish I got at CPK  was way to spicy so I sent it back and opted to not try this recipe. Well finally last week I looked at it again because I knew I had all the ingredients on hand and I needed something to throw together. Wow. I'm really kicking myself for waiting so long to try this one out. It's so incredibly simple and full of amazing flavor. My husband asked that we keep this as one of our go  to dishes so that's saying a lot in our household.

Sausage Gravy over Biscuits

Okay I apologize for it being so long since I have posted anything. I got in a major recipe slump and started just fixing all of my recipes from on here and had no ambition to try something new. Man I don't know how food bloggers create and have new recipes every day for years and years. It's simply amazing and mind blowing that they have the brain power to do that much. I don't even have that much brain power and I just find recipes lol.
Anyway, to the recipe. Anybody who knows me knows that I love biscuits and gravy. I can be at the yuckiest motel breakfast buffet and still pour me a gloopy  glob onto a hard biscuit if it's available. I don't know why. So finally a couple of months ago I decided I should try to make my own. And boy am I glad I did. I love this recipe. I made this recipe every week for a month till I burned myself out for a bit (and gained a food 5 pounds lol). Now that I'm getting around to typing this up I'm starting to crave it again. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did.
