Savvy with Abbie

These past few weeks I've been so focused on purchasing Christmas gifts and building that blog as well as the 100,000 Views Giveaway that I've been accidentally putting my recipes on the back burner. I'm still adjusting to this new schedule of working five hours per day, helping Jace with homework, cooking every night and trying to get used to a new routine. I like this routine one better than my last. Anyway, last night we had this Keto Lasagna Bake. Yes, I did eat a piece of toast with it but the lasagna didn't have any noodles so that was my "no carbs" part ;) Originally I found a recipe with Zoodles and I am not in any way shape or form interested in trying those. I bought them pre-spiraled once. I never ate them. So we decided to choose a recipe with zero noodles but tasted just like lasagna. We made ours in a cast-iron skillet (which I love by the way!). The original recipe can be found here:  https://www.heyketomama.com/easy-keto-lasagna-bake/ We

**Update: Congratulations to the winner - Ashley Sammons! **Update: I am extending out this contest through December 6th, 2019. Winner will be drawn and announced on December 7th, 2019. I have been slacking hardcore with this blog but I promised once I hit 100,000 followers, I will be running a giveaway. When I started this blog in 2014, I had no idea that it would be a huge hit. My blog initially was about my life, my "love" life, or lack of love life, poems, the single life, and I really created it as a way to vent. Little did I know that 4 years later, I would create my first Recipe blog post ( HERE ) and have 64,599 views on one post! That's really when my blog took off. Of course, I still throw in a review, a personal blog, or a freebie post now and then but it's mainly been recipes the past year. I do want to say Thank you! Thank you for caring so much about my life (although I don't find my life THAT interesting), thank you for reading my recipes

It has been awhile since I have  made a blog post about food. There are a few reasons for that. I am either cooking normal food (haha) and nothing outrageously worth writing a blog over, I have been working more which equals less blogging time, and, starting now, I am really wanting to start eating healthier. We all say that though, right? Sometimes we just have to eat the carbs. We made this recipe last night, it was a little messy but pretty delicious. It doesn't help that I accidentally bought HOT Enchilada Sauce instead of Mild so my mouth was burning almost the entire time. Jace said this was the best food I ever made but then only ate a quarter of his burrito because it was too hot. Kevin is the only one who loves the heat. So if you don't like heat, I suggest buying the mild enchilada sauce ;) The original recipe can be found through DELISH here . We definitely made some changes and our recipe is below. If you try this recipe, let me know in the comments below! I wou

Oh.My.Gosh. I swear the recipes keep getting better and better. These were SO good. Words cannot describe. We had them for dinner tonight with the Ranch drizzle on top. The original recipe was from Delish and can be found HERE . We made this recipe our own and changed a few things. Our recipe is below. Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups shredded chicken 3 Taco Bell Hot Sauce packets 4 tsp Ranch Seasoning Mix (plus some when you cook the chicken. I put our chicken in the crockpot with ranch seasoning mix and beef broth for 2.5 hours before making this so I could shred it) 5 tablespoons melted butter 1 tube biscuit dough Mozzarella cheese Basil (seasoning) Ranch dressing (for drizzling at the end) Directions: Preheat oven to 375 and spray a baking sheet. In a large bowl combine the chicken, hot sauce, ranch seasoning mix, and melted butter. Flatten each biscuit, place chicken mixture in the middle followed by mozzarella cheese. We also used some cheddar cheese. Pinch and seal and

Have you ever heard of Mississippi Mud Potatoes? I hadn't until Kevin sent me THIS RECIPE last week. All you really need to know is 3 ingredients - potatoes, cheese, and bacon. AKA all of the best food and carbs. Those are the most important ingredients. This recipe was super easy to make. The original recipe called for green onions. It also was made 8 servings. We made ours for three people and no green onions. Super good! And filled us up. Ingredients: 4 cups potatoes, diced finely 16oz cheddar cheese, shredded 1 cup mayonnaise 1 package bacon, cooked and torn into pieces Directions: In a large bowl, mix potatoes, cheese, and bacon. Stir in mayonnaise (don't worry, you won't taste it!). Bake at 325 for 45 minutes. Top with additional cheese if desired.

I have to say that I have never been a huge fan of Penne Pasta. But if you pair it with cheese and sausage, I'm all in! This Four Cheese Pasta Bake was so heavenly! The original recipe can be found HERE . Our new version is below. Enjoy! Ingredients: 1 pound Penne Pasta 3/4 pound Smoked Sausage Crushed Red Pepper Onion Powder Vegetable Oil 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce 1/2 of a small bag of four-cheese blend Directions: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cook pasta according to package directions and drain. While cooking pasta, cut sausage into 1/2 inch slices. If you have a large pan or skillet, you can use that for the sausage and sauce. Pour olive oil in pan and add the sausage. We had random Crushed Red Pepper packets and I poured two on the sausage. You can also used Crushed Red Pepper seasoning. I also added a few tablespoons of Onion Powder but feel free to use as much as you want. Cook the sausage until it's done. Add the Marinara sauce and bring to a simme
