This is another yummy cookie recipe from my Mrs Field's Cookie Book. They jazzed up the old chocolate chip cookies with some raisins, which made an amazing addition! These were gobbled up in no time at the office!

I had no idea what Rundown was when I came across recipe for Curry Crab Rundown. Apparently it's a Caribbean dish featuring seafood simmered in a spicy coconut sauce. Hey, there's nothing I don't love about the sound of that! I used Imitation crabmeat instead since my hubby loves it and served it over some Coconut Rice. All the flavors were amazing together and we definitely loved it!
My hubby LOVES spaghetti but it's just so boring making the same thing over and over again so when I saw this recipe for Spaghetti Pie, I knew I had to give it a try. It was so much fun to make not to mention incredibly delicious! The noodles created a nice crust and I love the addition of cottage cheese along with the Mozzarella. It was like spaghetti and pizza all in one! GENIUS!
I've been saving this recipe for Porkchops in Cherry Sauce for a while now and finally make it tonight. The combination was just amazing! The tart cherries and sweet marmalad created the most flavorful sauce for the pork. I served them over some mashed potatoes and it was a weeknight feast at its best!
Paula Deen hasn't failed me yet and neither did her Double-Orange-Glazed Porkchops that I made tonight. I added a sprinkle of Chipotle powder to the sweet orange glaze and it was the perfect combination! On the side, I made my very first mashed potatoes from a box. I jazzed it up by adding shredded Cheddar, garlic and LOTS of black pepper and it actually tasted really good! The texture was really creamy and went perfectly with the porkchops. As a working bee, I'll take any help from the store that I can get!
I tried Shaun T's Rockin Body workouts and I'm officially hooked! The workouts feel like dance parties and even more fun than Zumba! The music is just awesome with some of my all-time favorite Michael Jackson and Disco beats thrown in the mix. I've only tried the Dance Party and Party Express but I can tell that I'll like anything Shaun T's on cuz he's just so fun and motivating! I definitely worked up a sweat without even realizing it since I'm having so much fun! The moves are easy to learn and he repeats them throughout the workout but not in a boring way. If you like to dance, you should definitely try Shaun T's Rockin Body!
I finally found No-Boil Lasagna Noodles and decided to make The Neely's Mama's Lasagna. Unfortunately it was getting late and we were getting VERY hungry so I didn't let the pan cool enough before cutting us a piece. Not so pretty to look at but trust me, it tasted fantastic! An ooey gooey cheesy mess but oh SO yummy!
