just peachy….and yummy….if I do say!

I just made a super easy dessert!  It is darn good right out of the oven(very hot though!) and I cant wait to have it later tonite with some ice cream! Peach Cobbler Dump Cake 2 can of peaches in heavy syrup 1 yellow cake mix 1/2 c butter cinnamon Dump the peaches with syrup into a 8x8 pan.  Cover them with the yellow cake mix, pressing down slightly.  Cut the butter into small pieces and place all over the top of the cake mix.  Sprinkle with cinnamon to your liking.  Bake in preheated oven at 375 for 45 minutes. OMG.  So easy and man is it good! I could eat the whole thing right now…maybe I will and not tell anyone else about it! As far as dinner went tonite - not so good.

So if you or someone you  know suffers as we

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, 2012 I thought I would let you all in on the recipe I made for the party last weekend.  Oh my, was it good and it was pretty darn easy too!  It makes plenty too, even though it says it only makes 4 servings.I got the recipe from  Laurenslatest.com Black Bean Dip Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 small sweet onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1-15 oz. can black beans, drained & rinsed 1/2 cup salsa 1 cup granted cheddar cheese 1/4 cup sour cream salt lots of pepper 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/4 cup chopped cilantro *** I also think a small can of corn added to this would be delish!  I did not do it though when I first made this recipe.  Next time!*** Directions: Preheat large skillet over medium heat. Melt butter. Sauté onions and garlic together for 3 minutes or until softened and slightly browned. Stir in black beans, salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder and cook another 5 minutes or so over medium low heat. Stir in sa
