We had this side dish growing up a lot. Always a staple at family gatherings as well. Its really simple, but it's so good. But what's not good with cream cheese... really?!! 3 cans corn 1 8oz pkg Philadelphia cream cheese Drain cans of corn and put them in a bowl. Put cream cheese in the bowl. You can cut it up to help it melt down if you want. Microwave in 1 minute increments, stirring between each, until cream cheese has melted down and the corn is hot. Stir to make sure all the corn is sufficiently coated. About 2 or 3 minutes. Serve on the side with your main dish. Note: For just my little family of 4, I usually don't need this much so I do a 1/3 pkg of cream cheese and 1 can of corn. But it's a great dish to take to potluck. It always gets eaten and the bowl is practically licked clean. I don't blame them... it's cream cheese!

from my brother, Denton and (allrecipes.com with our changes ) 3 cups flour, divided 2 eggs, separated 1 cup Fat Tire Beer, plus more for thinning (its better, I promise) 4 Tbsp butter, melted salt to taste (a pinch or so... we usually end up doing about 1/4 tsp, but you can start with less and add more later after you test one) 3 large Vidalia or Walla Walla onions (Vidalia are our favorite) Put 1 cup flour into small bowl for dipping onions before the batter. In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks (saving the whites for later in a small bowl). Add in beer, butter, and salt. In a large bowl, add 2 cups flour. Slowly stir the egg mixture into the flour and mix well.  Batter is different every time I make it due to humidity and time of year etc. So sometimes it is a little thicker and sometimes it is thinner. Add more beer from the bottle until the batter resembles pancake batter. Sometimes we end up using the entire bottle. Sometimes less. But get it to a pancake batter consistency. All...

I love Taco Johns . However, I live 2 hours from the nearest one. So I decided to make my own version of their Meat and Potato Burrito . It actually turned out pretty good. We'll definitely be making them again! 2 lbs hamburger taco seasoning water lettuce, shredded tomato, cut up nacho cheese sauce -I just buy a small cup at my convenience store sour cream Ore Ida Crispy Crowns Burrito-sized tortillas Brown hamburger with minced onions. Drain and return to pan with 1/3 cup water and taco seasoning. Use your own judgement on how much seasoning you want. Turn on low and allow the hamburger to get moist and tasty. If it starts to get too dry, add just a little more water. Broil the crispy crowns. You want about 6-8 per burrito. I like a little bit more crunch and texture in mine so I use 8. Broil the crispy crowls on high for about 7-8 minutes. Turn them over and broil for another 3-4 minutes. Check until they're golden brown and crisp, but not burnt or soggy. Wrapped in paper t...

My husband's creation---No veggies, just meat! 2 or 3 chicken breasts, cubed Bacon slices, cut in half for wrapping Skewers Marinade: 2 tsp McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning 1/4 cup olive oil 2 Tbsp soy sauce 2 shakes of dried minced onions Make marinade. Put cut up chicken in it and let marinate for several hours. (We did 4 hours.) Wrap half piece of bacon around each piece of chicken and place on skewer. About 4-5 per skewer works well. Don't leave spaces between or the stick will burn through on the grill. (A lesson learned very quickly!) Grill until chicken and bacon are done. Some veggies between the meat would have been great, too. Cherry tomatoes, green peppers, onions, carrots, potatoes, etc. My husband agreed. Next time! These were good and had great flavor. However, definitely NOT lo-fat. :)

This is just a twist on an old favorite and it's a fun recipe to make with your kids 1 tube of Pillsbury Flaky Layers biscuits cinnamon/sugar mixture in a ziploc bag melted butter and brown sugar to desired consistency Muffin pan Non-stick spray OR Muffin liners (optional) Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Put pieces in ziploc bag and shake. (This is my kid's favorite part.) Spray muffin pan or use muffin liners (or both). Place 3 pieces into each muffin cup. Repeat. (One muffin cup will have just 2.) Using a spoon, drizzle brown sugar mixture over each muffin cup. If you want them super gooey, put more on. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Naturally, they are best served warm. We like to serve these with scrambled eggs and cheese. Note: I should have put these in muffin liners. I think they would have been less mess. If there are any left, place them in ziploc bag. When you want another one later, just pop 'em in the microwave for 20 seconds.

from Mom 2 lbs hamburger 2 1/2 Tbsp + 1/2 tsp brown sugar 1 cup ketchup 8 oz tomato sauce 1 cup water 1 Tbsp Worcestershire 1 Tbsp white vinegar 1 Tbsp minced onions 1/4 tsp mustard 2 -3 bay leaves Brown hamburger and drain. Add all ingredients and simmer until desired consistency. Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve on toasted buns. Note: The recipe above is for a half recipe. (Sometimes I even do a half of a half!) A full recipe calls for 4 lbs hamburger, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 2 cups ketchup, 16 oz tomato sauce, 2 cups water, 2 Tbsp Worcestershire, 2 Tbsp white vinegar, 2 Tbsp minced onions, 1/2 tsp mustard, 5 bay leaves. My mom prefers to make a whole batch and freeze the rest. It freezes really well. Lo-fat tip: Use ground turkey in place of the hamburger.
