Easy Blackberry Dumplings

We have what I originally thought were blackberry bushes growing here and there along our property. I've been finding new bushes these last few weeks while out walking Butters. I've been checking them every day and waiting for them to ripen. I have even been careful not to run over them with the lawn mower and have been hoping that the animals do not get to them before I do. Well, I finally picked some that were ripe (ripe by my standards anyway), and it turns out that they are actually DEWBERRIES, which are related and very similar to blackberries, just not as big. I was upset at first (why is my life a lie?!) because I had this recipe planned since I first saw the berries. But hey, I made it work. I just added the dewberries together with some blackberries and TA-DA! It was delicious, and no one would have known the difference if I hadn't told them (ok, maybe they told me, but that's beside the point). Anyway, if you do not have any wild dewberries on hand, just use blackberries, ok? That is what the recipe calls for anyway....😉 Have fun!

Cream Cheese Teddy Graham Dip

Hey y'all! This is a sweet and yummy treat that I have made several times before. I found the recipe a few years ago in a sale paper at a local grocery store. It is SUPER easy....and has cream cheese! The hardest part is putting it in the refrigerator to give it time to cool and harden. This time I did not have any mini chocolate chips on hand, so I used regular sized chips, and they worked just fine! Also, I couldn't decide on which Teddy Grahams to use, so I bought two different kinds for dipping. This would be a great dessert for kids of all ages, or even those of us who are just kids at heart. 💗 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻 Recipe from: CV's sale paper Total Time: 10 minutes Servings: about 10 Cream Cheese Teddy Graham Dip Ingredients: 8 oz. package of cream cheese 1/2 cup of butter, softened 3/4 cup of powdered sugar 2 tablespoons of brown sugar 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips Box of Teddy Grahams of your ...

A.1. Meatloaf

Hey everyone! Here's a recipe that I make fairly often. I'm not a huge fan of meatloaf really. This is more for the husband than anything, but this meatloaf has such a good flavor that I will eat it.

Slow Cooker Broccoli Beef

Hey y'all! Well, we've almost made it to Friday, and I've got a new recipe for you to try out this weekend! This Slow Cooker Broccoli Beef is soooooo good. Instead of heading to that Chinese buffet, stay home and mix this up instead. I don't recall where I originally found this recipe, but I have made it several times in the crock-pot, and it's ALWAYS delicious. I decided a couple weekends ago to try this recipe using the Slow Cook option on my new Instant Pot®. It's supposed to cook just like a slow cooker on this setting. You keep the time and temperature the same as you would in a slow cooker and make sure that the lid is venting. I cooked the beef mixture in the Instant Pot® for 4.5 hours before adding the cornstarch and water mixture, and it worked out perfectly! As you will see, this recipe calls for flank steak, but I have used different cuts, and as long as it is thinly sliced, it always seems to turn out good. This particular time I used bottom ...

Blueberry Croissant Breakfast Bake

Hey guys! I've got another breakfast recipe for you that I made this weekend! This recipe is from a Tasty video that I came across on Facebook. I have had it saved for a while and decided to finally make it this weekend. As you will see in my picture of ingredients below, I used Neufchatel cheese instead of cream cheese. It was next to the cream cheese at the grocery store, came in a box that looked just like the cream cheese box, and so I accidentally grabbed it instead. It did give a different taste to it, and I wish I would have had actual cream cheese, but it actually did not turn out bad. This recipe was very easy, and if you like sweet things like pastries for breakfast, you will like this Blueberry Croissant Breakfast Bake!
