Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so excited this week is Thanksgiving! Lots of fun things are going on with family and friends and even better...only 2.5 days of work! I can't wait to eat the delicious meal my family prepares every year. I am tasked with bringing the corn casserole this year which is perfect because it is one of my FAVORITE dishes at Thanksgiving.

I didn't want to make a ton of food this week since we will be gone Wednesday - Saturday for dinner so I found some pretty basic recipes that would be good for leftovers.
On Sunday morning, I made these ham and egg cups. They were awesome!!!

No recipe is really needed and this is how I made them. Spray your muffin tin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Take a slice of ham and cup the ham into each space. Next, take a circular cut out of bread (I used a shot glass and cut 2 circles out of 1 slice) and place onto the ham. Next, crack an egg over each slice of bread and bake at 400 for 10 minutes or until the egg is done to your liking. I like a runny egg so I did not cook mine as long. Once they are done, scoop them out with a fork and enjoy! I have never had anything like these and will DEFINITELY make them in the near future. Other variations could be putting some hashbrowns into the cups rather than bread, or even maybe some green chilies if you want a spicy flare.

On Sunday evening, I made baked ravioli. These was extremely easy and turned out great. I didn't have any parm cheese but it still worked. I also used beef ravioli because we all know what Bryan would say if it was just cheese! The recipe is so straight forward that you can really adjust this however you want.

Last night I made oven baked chicken chimichangas. They were tasty but nothing like a mexican restaurant I am afraid to say. There is no reason I wouldn't make them again but would like to try several other recipes before I repeat this one.

Both the raviloi and chimichangas were courtesy of Tasty Kitchen.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! If you try something new and delicious this year, please share - I would love to hear! :)
