3 Recipes to Try!

Last week we had Joe's parents over for Sunday dinner and I decided to try a couple of my 'pinned' recipes from Pinterest.  We grilled steaks and so I knew I wanted some type of potato-ey side. When I discovered that THIS potato recipe was whipped up in a crockpot, it was a win win situation. I was giddy with excitement to try it out.

Family Fresh Meals

I am pleased to say that this recipe was a HUGE hit and super simple.  

I even used my new Crockpot liners for less mess....man those things are pure GENIUS! 

How is it that I JUST discovered those?

The next recipe I decided to try was THIS one from 

So Wonderful So Marvelous

Honey Glazed Balsamic Roasted Carrots

Roast in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes with some seasoning and a little olive oil. Then drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of honey, and about 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar. Pop them back into the oven for about 5 more minutes to achieve sweet, salty, still slightly crunchy perfection!

And last but not least.....DESSERT!

I made a Lamoreaux family staple...but don't be fooled by the name.

DUMP CAKE

{aka the easiest Peach cobbler ever!}

1 can of peach pie filling

1 can of crushed pineapple

1 box of yellow cake mix

1 stick of butter, melted

1/2 c. nuts chopped, optional

Grease a 9x13 pan.  Spread pie filling on bottom of pan.  Spoon pineapple over filling {use the juice}. Sprinkle dry yellow cake mix over all ingredients.  Pour melted butter over top.

Bake at 350 Degrees for 60 minutes.  

Serve with vanilla ice-cream or Cool Whip.

***Notes on Cake. This cake can actually be used with ANY type of pie filling.  My mom always makes it with cherry.  I think I'm going to try blueberry next time. As for the peaches...I would almost use 2 cans of the pie filling.  1 seemed not quite enough. I'd also use 1 1/2 sticks of butter to coat the top really well.  

Enjoy!  And can you please invite me over for Sunday dinner if you try these? {Smile!}
