What I've Done - Loaded breakfast biscuits

Okay, so I didn't actually make this one, but my sweet husband did and they were awesome!  It sounds like quite a bit of work so it's probably one of those special occasion sort of meals.

Stuffed breakfast bubble biscuits

Can of biscuits

Shredded Cheese (I had Mexican style on hand)
Frozen Shredded Hash Browns
1 package of Cooked Bacon
6 Scrambles Eggs
 
Stuff biscuits with all the fixings and bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes.  Boom!  And who doesn't love breakfast for supper?

What I've Done - Apple cinnamon chimichangas

 Another good one!  We had a bunch of apples to use up, and sometimes you just want something sweet!  This was pretty easy and very fun to make together.

Apple cinnamon chimichangas
4 apples, chopped
1 1/2 c water
1/4 c cornstarch
3/4 c sugar
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t salt
1 T lemon juice
Combine everything but apples in saucepan, bring to boil, cook for 3 minutes until the mixture becomes thick.  Add in apples and simmer til tender (about 10 minutes).

8-10 flour tortillas
1/2 c sugar
1 T cinnamon
Mix together in another bowl

Fill tortilla with filling, fry in a 1/2 inch of oil (about 30 seconds on each side).  Remove and roll in cinnamon sugar.

Ice cream with this is a MUST!

What I've Done - Menu Board

How many ladies out their have kids and/or husbands who constantly say, "What's for dinner?"  I know you just answered YES.  So here's your solution - a menu board.  There's also a piece of paper or plain old marker board to write on, but why not make your menu board your newest kitchen decoration?  You can pick up an 8 in 1 picture frame at Wal-Mart for a few dollars.  I just so happened to have one sitting under my bed so it was basically free.  I put a piece of scrapbook paper in each frame.  I used brown and blue paper to match our kitchen.  We bought that scrapbook paper for our wedding and decided to decorate our kitchen in our wedding colors and reuse some wedding decorations to decorate our kitchen so it worked out really well.  Anyway, this allowed me to use up some more of the wedding scrapbook paper.  I wrote a day of the week on each piece of paper as well as "R & A" on the 8th piece of paper and then put the paper in the frames.  At the start of each week I get out my dry erase marker and write out the menu for the week.  This helps Robert ask me what we're having for dinner less, but the best part is that it helps him know what I want us to have for dinner each night so he can make dinner.  Major score if you ask me!  Robert even voluntarily hung it up in our dining room.  I have a keep, I tell ya!
