Easy pumpkin muffins

1 can of pumpkin purée
2/3 cup milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cloves

Mix all ingredients and bake at 350 for approximately 12- 15 mins or until tops are springy to the touch

Monterey chicken

Prepare chicken breasts or tenderloins ( your preferred method.....you know I am a oven bag at low temp kinda gal) and place in casserole dish
Smother with BBQ sauce of your choice....I recommend sweet baby rays or famous Dave's)
Top with a can of rotel.....half a can for the faint of heart ;)
Sprinkle cheese and bacon crumbles. Bake At 350 until cheese melts.
Serve with anything because this chicken is so good!!

Ham and Navy Beans

This is a great dish for leftover ham.  Especially a glazed spiral cut ham.  Place desired amount and/or pieces of ham in the crockpot along with one pkg of white navy beans. (that have been soaked as directed)  Add 6 cups of water, 2 tsp of onion powder and salt and pepper to taste.  Cook on high in crock pot for about 5 hours or low for 8 hours (until beans are soft)  I recommend serving with cornbread on a cold day!  Delish!!
