Easy pumpkin muffins

1 box of cake mix ( almost anything will work but I suggest spice or carrot)
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!!

Easy Cheesy Shells

Cook macaroni shells and drain.  Place noodles in sauce pan with 4 T butter.  Stir until butter melts.  Add 1 can of cheddar cheese soup, 1/2 large can evaporated milk, 1 T season salt and 2 cups of cheese.  Stir until creamy and mixed well with noodles.  This is very similar to velveeta shells and cheese only better! You can add more evaporated milk as needed...especially when reheating.  This can stay warm and delicious for quite some time but fresh out of the pan is evil!!
