People I love to stalk...

There are blogs that just make me drool...I mean really drool. People who have talent that I would never in a million years be able to possess. So, today I wanted to share with you a site that I stalk often. Now...I don't have time to make your fancy-pancy type of meals for my family. I am super busy, usually every moment of the day. But I do appreciate my meals LOOKING like I spent an enormous amount of time time making them (wink!) Hey...who doesn't love to hear the family bragging about what a fantastic domestic goddess you are? So... I love this site for inspiration.

I get tons of inspiration from this site, and their step by step instructions make it really easy to create these luscious looking recipes. The emails come every few days and are very manageable. These apple cider donuts above are next on my list to try!

BBQ Beef Casserole...

Just like you, I am BUSY woman. So I am always on the lookout for easy, cheap meals that every one at our table will eat (willingly with out forceable trauma!) This one qualifies...

• 1 pound of ground beef or turkey
• 1/2-1 c. chopped onion (whatever your preference)
• 1/2 can of corn (not creamed)
• 1/2 can chopped tomato
• 1c. of BBQ sauce (whatever flavor you like best)
• 1 package of dry cornbread mix(the pouch kind)
  

Allrighty...pre-heat your oven to 400. While it is warming, cook the meat and onion, then drain. Add back to skillet and add in 1/2 of both the corn and tomato. You can save the rest to be thrifty with your next meal! Stir in the BBQ sauce - you can add more sauce if it needs to be saucier. Mix the cornbread batter according to the directions on the package. Pour the meat mixture into a 9 x9" casserole dish. Pour the cornbread batter on top. Now bake for 20-25 minutes.

This was so yummy and we served it up with a salad. The recipe could be doubled and put into 9x13 to feed more people and the meat mix could be made ahead of time and frozen.
