Quick Summer Meals Contest – Versatile Chicken Wraps

Wraps are one of my favorite sandwiches.  So when Terry of Cottage Grove, MN submitted this Versatile Chicken Wrap recipe to the Quick Summer Meals Contest  I was doing the happy dance.  Luckily for me (and you) this is a written blog and not a video blog.  I do my happy dance to embarrass my kids.  Does that tell you anything about what it looks like? 

The thing I love about wraps is the variety of meats, cheeses and vegetables you can put inside.  Everyone can have pretty much a wrap that they will love and eat.  Plus, tortilla wraps themselves come in a variety of flavors.  I mostly like the plain ole’ white or whole wheat ones best so that the flavor of the tortillia doesn’t overpower the yumminess inside.

Quick Summer Meals Contest – Crockpot Italian Beef

Thank you Shannon from Prairie du Chien, WI for this Quick Summer Meal Recipe.  I had never made a beef roast this way before and you can bet I will make it this way again.   Italian flavors are a favorite in our house and putting roast beef on garlic bread is a genius move.  Bravo for thinking of it Shannon!!!

Desserts for the Deserving – Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip and Pretzel Cookies

 

Desserts for the Deserving.

I like to bake and I like to share my goods with others.  It’s kind of a therapy for me.  Not so much the baking part but the look on the recipients face when they eat something I’ve made or a quick thank you email or text about how much it was appreciated.  I don’t do it for the pats on the back.  I do it because I know little things like a plate of cookies or bars can turn a bad day into a good day.   It can be dessert for dinner or breakfast the next day.  It can be a reminder that someone was thinking of you.  So when I saw this group on Facebook, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. 

Desserts for the Deserving was established in 2011 with the sole purpose of bringing people joy. It is a nonprofit movement where bloggers, bakers, crafters, and all forms of creative people offer up time and resources to bring strangers joy.

The thing is – you don’t have to be a part of this group or any group to give someone joy.  You can do it on your own.  Do you know someone
