Cooking Show

I got the itch to cook/bake today!  It was rainy and what's a better indoor activity than making yummy food?!  Abbey came over and we played one of our favorite games where we pretend to be our favorite peeps from the Food Network and had our very own cooking show!!  I'm telling you what entertainment talking while cooking is not as easy as it looks!  Rachel Ray drives me insane, but she sure is good at yapping away while she is whipping up her various dishes!  Abbey's fave is Mrs. Paula Dean, I really like her too!  She is like the perfect southern G-Ma! 

Our Dishes:  Black Bean Corn Creation
I had this at a party once and then kind of made it my own!
It is delish!  One of my favs for sure!!  Super healthy snack, really fills you up, has an awesome burst of flavor in your mouth, goes great with tortilla chips or just straight from a spoon :) I really can't stop eating it once I start!

Ingredients:
1 can of drained/rinsed Black Beans
1 small can of sweet corn - drained
1 medium tomato or 2 small romas
1/4 of red onion -chopped
1 ripe avocado - diced
Handfull of Diced cilantro
sprinkle with mexican cheese  - shredded
1T. vinegar
salt
pepper

Mix and enjoy!!




I think Abbey likey!!


Pumpkin-Choco Chip Balls
Fall is my fav time of year!!  This is also one of my fav recipes.  It is very yummy, very easy, and not too fattening!!  Three of my favorite things, what's not to like?! 

Ingredients:
1 can of pumpkin pie filling
1 box of spice cake mix
1 bag of semi-sweet choco morsels
Mix all ingredients together until thoroughly blended
Preheat oven to 350 and Bake about Tablespoon size balls for 12 minutes
Hope you enjoy this fall treat!
