Semi-Homemade Apple Blueberry Cobbler

 

Life with a new baby doesn’t leave me much time for creating new things, like dessert for instance. So, I was happy that I could just throw this together last minute.

What you need:

• 2 cans apple pie filling
• 1 pint fresh or frozen blueberries
• granola
• just add water instant pancake mix

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add cans of pie filling and blueberries to 9x13 dish.  Mix pancake mix according to directions for lowest serving size.  Drop pancake mix by spoonfuls into pie filling.  Top with granola.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until pancake mix has cooked through.  Serve warm with ice cream.

Cheesy Taco Soup

This recipe is for taco soup, which is great in cold weather. We don't really have cold weather where I live, but it's still yummy.
Ingredients: 2 cans chicken broth (more if you want it more soupy instead of hearty), 1 can corn or hominy, 1 can diced tomatos, 1 can diced green chiles, 1 can tomato sauce, 1 can olives, 1 packet cheesy taco seasonings, 1 can chicken or chopped leftover chicken (hamburger could also be used), 1 can kidney, black, or pinto beans--your choice.

Add all ingredients to crockpot and cook on low 6 to 8 hours or on high 3 to 4 hours. Serve with chips or tortillas. Top with cheese, sour cream, avacado--be creative!

You can also heat this in a stock pot on the stove. Add all ingredients (brown hamburger first, if using) and bring to a boil. Turn to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
