Little bow ties

Going to have to make some of these for my little man (won't it be perfect for Christmas time?). Find out how here.

Dinner in a Pumpkin

Another yummy treat that is perfect for this time of year:

-Clean out a medium sized pumpkin
-Add chili (homemade or 2 cans worth) into cleaned out pumpkin
-Put lid back on the pumpkin
-Bake on cookie sheet at 350 for about 45min-1 hour

ENJOY! I think we're going to make this an October tradition.

Diaper Rash

Bag Balm is my #1 recommendation for a cure. You can buy it at lots of places (even Nordstroms), but I think the IFA stores have the best prices.

Pumpkin Cookies

Jackie reminded me of one of my favorite cookie recipes:

It is so simple and DELICIOUS!

1 box spice cake mix
1 large can of pumpkin
1/2 to a whole (depends how much of a fan you are) bag of dark chocolate chips

Mix the above 3 ingredients together, drop on cookie sheet, and bake at 375 for about 12-15 mins. THAT'S IT! And they are moist and delicious. Perfect for this time of year.

This sounds yummy

Chicken Bundles

These end up on the menu nearly every month. They are fun for the kids to make and they love how they taste.

8 oz cream cheese, softened (I usually use fat free to make it a little healthier)
2 cans chicken
1 tsp dried minced onion
salt and pepper to taste
2 cans crescent rolls (reduced fat work well too)

Combine cream cheese, chicken, onion, salt and pepper. Mix well. Open crescent roll cans and lay dough triangles out on the counter. Place a large scoop of the chicken mixture on each triangle. Fold edges of dough around the chicken mixture and pinch together so that there are no holes. Place bundles on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 13 minutes, or until golden brown. Makes 16 bundles.

Optional: to make this dinner a little fancier, use sliced green onions in place of the dried onion and add one can of mushrooms (diced) to the chicken mixture. Dip each bundle in melted butter and roll in Italian bread crumbs before placing on the cookie sheet. Serve with a chicken gravy made from one can cream of chicken soup mixed with a half can of water.

Another variation: instead of making "bundles", make "pillows"-- fuse two triangle dough pieces together to make a rectangle. Place a large scoop of the chicken mixture on each rectangle. Fold over and pinch edges. Makes 8 pillows.
