💚 Microwave Zucchini Chips 💚

So I wanted to make some zucchini chips but I don't have a dehydrator. Then I remembered I bought a microwave potato chip maker from a 'well known kitchenware'company. The instructions say don't use any other veggies besides potatoes, sweet potatoes, yuca?? and apples but hey I'm a REBEL. 😝

I got a zucchini squash and sliced very thin. Placed on paper towels to dry as much as possible.

Place on chip maker and brush with olive oil. You can sprinkle any spices on top but do not overlap. The recipe said use spices sparingly since the slices will shrink and wowzers she was right- my 1st batch was salty!!!

Place tray in microwave and start with 5 minutes. After the 5 mins, cook in 30 second intervals until the chips start to brown and crisp. Nom Nom Nom 😎

Be still....

That Dorito Casserole Thing

So when I ask what I should make for dinner, I sometimes get "That Dorito Casserole thing." That's fine by me 'cause it is super easy to make. 😃 I love the fact that the recipe calls for a rotisserie chicken. Although you could cook chicken and it would be just as good. I took a picture of the ingredients and left out the most important thing of all... CHEESE (an offense that is punishable in my house HA) I don't like chunks of tomatoes and peppers from the RoTel so I chop it in a mini chopper before adding to other ingredients. Weird I know :) My former boss is one of the best cooks I know. She got me this awesome mini chopper. It is one of my favorite gadgets!! Combine everything but the chips in a bowl. Spray a casserole dish and crush 1/2 bag of Doritos with a...wait for it...potato masher. It works great. Top the Dorito layer with the chicken mixture. Add the rest of the Doritos (give or take a few if you need a snack) and crush. Cover and bake @350 degrees for 30 mins.

Ingredients 1 Rotisserie Chicken (2 cups) 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup sour cream 1 can of cream of chicken soup 1/2 cup of milk 1 can of RoTel 1 bag of Doritos 1/2 pack of taco seasoning packet Instructions Grease casserole dish. Crush 1/2 a bag of dorito's and place them on the bottom of your greased casserole dish. Combine ingredients above minus lettuce in bowl and then top your dorito layer with the above combo. Add the rest of your crushed doritos and bake covered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Enjoy 😄

Budget Schmudget

It's that time of year when Christmas is forgotten but reality hits with the aftermath of bills. This year we decided to do stocking stuffers only so I totally kicked hiney on how much I spent. Whoop 😝

I love this sweet girls face. Total deniability hehe. Last year, my boss told me about this awesome budgeting website called mint.com. It is completely safe and is run by Intuit. He told me that you can download all your accounts and set up budgets for tons of categories. I signed up and the rest is history. This site is beyond awesome sauce. You get emails when you get close to your budgeted amount on each category. You can also get the app on your phone which I love ❤️!!! This is the app icon

You can add every account you have. I have PSP, 401k and ESOP at work as well as life insurance set up. It also takes your mortgage loan and compares it to the value of your house listed on Zillow. So you add accounts and set budgets and it basically keeps you in line.

And hey what's a couple of threatening emails to help you stay within your budget??? I kid I kid 😉 Actually the bill reminder emails are great for forgetful gals like myself. www.mint.com 😃👍💳💰
