Hope ya’ll love these now go create memories!! 

Geez, what a week! Busy busy here with lots of running around and hours @ the gym with the kiddos, and lots of fun fall stuff, too. But now it’s over already! Yikes. I think we all need to just slow down and have a cookie.

I even had time to dig out some of the fall/Halloween decorations and start putting them up. That’s always fun. We just love any kind of holiday decorating.

I especially love seasonal baking. I warned you…I have a few more pumpkin-y recipes up my sleeve this fall!

These cookies are some of my favorites. They are soft, chewy, and so perfect with tea or hot cider. The secret ingredient here is the instant coffee – it keeps them soft and gives them that rich, spicy flavor that everyone loves.

Enter the world of the wonton cup. For a few bucks you can pick up a 50-pack of them in most grocery stores today and then you can fill them with all kinds of stuff. I’ve done spinach artichoke dip in the past, but I think these were even better and great for a special game day occasion.

This is a great cold crab salad that you can quickly toss together. Let it chill and before you know it you have a great recipe that can be served anytime. This colorful crab salad can be made with either real crab or imitation crab. While they will taste slightly different depending on your choice, both versions are very good. Fresh crab is delightful in season; if you want this salad on a budget, try the imitation version. It tastes great, too.

Serve this delicious cold crab salad as an appetizer in small cups or on lettuce leaves, as a light lunch or as a side dish at dinner. It is perfect for potlucks, picnics and get togethers. This is a wonderful salad to make for a crowd since it is so simple. This versatile crab salad recipe will fast become a favorite. You can toss it together in minutes, and then just let it chill.

When I see any mini food creation it excites me & gives me the vibe of a special treat. These Taco Cups are mini but have the full flavor of a huge Taco Salad. Maybe it’s just me maybe not but I love creating and serving anything in mini portions and mix matching with different things. Especially when it’s easy and these Mini Taco Cups fit that just right! My kids and husband love these so it’s a win-win for me and of course that means I make them a lot. Enjoy!!

 What You Need:

1 package soft tortillas

1-pound ground turkey or lean ground beef

¼ – ½ cup diced onion

¼ – ½ cup diced garlic

1 envelope of taco seasonings

1 can sweet corn, drained

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

½ each; red, green and yellow bell pepper, diced

½ cup diced tomatoes (I use grape or cherry)

1 avocado, diced

1 tbsp. sea salt

How To Create:

Preheat oven to 350. Using a 3” round cookie cutter, cut 36 rounds from your tortillas. Spread out and spray

with vegetable oil. Salt each round. Invert a muffin tin and insert a round, salted side up, in between 4 cups.

Curve the sides up to form a small bowl. Bake for 4-8 minutes, until slightly browned. Set aside.

In a medium pan, cook your ground turkey or beef. Add garlic and onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add ¾ cup

water and taco seasonings. Set aside.

Set up a station with your toppings in small bowls. This will make it easier to fill each cup. Beginning with your

meat, spoon a small amount into each cup. Next add your corn, black beans, peppers, tomatoes and avocado.

Serve and enjoy!

Little Treat HUGE Flavor!

These are so fun & easy to make I even let the kids help me fill the cups. Please let me know if you have any I try to answer them all very fast.
