As singer[edit]

Lee assumes a unique persona for each release, such as a mermaid, Barbie doll, tribal queen, soldier, Korean folk dancer, belly dancer, or princess of the sea. She has garnered many nicknames over the years, including Techno Queen of Korea, Queen of Performance Art, Ms. Charisma, Little Giant, and Queen of Change.[19][20]

31 Tasty Tater Tot Casserole Recipes That Are So Easy, You'll Want to Make Them All
It's National Tater Tot Day this Sunday, February 2 (and I heard something about a football game as well). In celebration, I'm going to go ahead and declare Tater Tots one of the greatest inventions of the 20th Century. These little barrels of fried potato fun have been celebrated in school cafeterias and on American dinner tables since the s. Crispy on the outside with soft potato on the inside — all without the help of a deep fryer at home. Not only have they been keeping kids happy (adults, too), but they're also an example of making use of food scraps to reduce food waste. They were originally designed to use up the bits of potato left over from cutting french fries. I think you might agree that leftovers have never tasted SO good.
In the past few years, tots have gotten more prominent on bar menus — either on their own or in a magical mixture. There's a bar in San Francisco that serves bacon-wrapped tot poutine, and politicians are even turning to tots to woo voters. Are you hungry yet? If you are, stick around for inventive ways to turn your tots into a glorious meal that will have the family begging for seconds.
Classic Tater Tot Casserole
Classic Tater Tot Casserole by One Sweet Appetite
As the name suggests, you can find most of the ingredients of a classic casserole in this recipe: meat, cheese, and cream of mushroom soup. That's it. The meat this recipe calls for is ground beef which you brown before mixing in the soup and cheese. Put the mixture in a casserole dish and top it with tots and it's ready to bake. If you want to save time and dirty fewer dishes, brown the meat in a castiron skillet and let it double as the baking dish.
Tater Tot Casserole
Tater Tot Casserole by Simply Stacie
This recipe sees the classic recipe ingredients and raises it an onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and mixed vegetables. While the classic wins for its ease and simplicity, this one wins for the balance that the vegetables lend it.
Bacon and Eggs Tater Tot Casserole
Bacon and Eggs Tater Tot Casserole by Southern Bite
This recipe should be called "Breakfast FTW" because it will win over everyone in the family with just one bite. The method is similar to a savory bread pudding, but instead of bread, you use tots accompanied by cheese, green onions, and, of course, bacon.
Cheesy Meatball Tater Tot Casserole
Cheesy Meatball Tater Tot Casserole by Roti n Rice
If you're not into the texture of the classic recipe, this recipe takes the ground beef and forms it into a meatball, and instead of using the traditional cream of mushroom soup, this blogger makes a béchamel (or white sauce) so if you have an aversion to mushrooms, this might be the recipe that suits you.
Texas Tater Tot Casserole
Texas Tater Tot Casserole by Stetted
There's one thing a Texas Tater Tot Casserole has that the others don't: brisket. Of course, no one would expect you to make a brisket just so you can make this casserole, rather it's a way to incorporate leftovers into a spectacular meal. It's one more way to help reduce food waste deliciously.
Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole
Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole by Tastes of Lizzy T
The ingredients for this one are similar to the classic Tater Tot casserole recipe, but the blogger wanted to create a real cheeseburger experience. Instead of soup to season the ground beef, the beef is mixed with ketchup and mustard. It's then layered in a baking dish with onion, cheese, and tots and then baked. When it's golden brown on top, it's ready for pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes for serving.
Chicken Ranch Tater Tot Casserole
Chicken Ranch Tater Tot Casserole by My Kitchen Craze
While Tater Tots are the star of this casserole, rotisserie chicken and cream of chicken soup are the supporting ingredients that call you back for seconds. Prep time is minimal and it doesn't require a lot of effort for an easy dinner the whole family will enjoy.
Tater Tot Chili Dog Casserole

Tater Tot Chili Dog Casserole by The Salty Marshmallow
What makes this recipe so great is that it's something kids love to eat and it's so easy they can make it themselves (with supervision, of course). All the ingredients are in the title (except for cheese) and if the kids are cooking they'll only need Mom to step in to cut up the hot dogs and work the oven.
Loaded Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
Loaded Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole by Yellow Bliss Road
This recipe had me at "loaded" because that's just a way to wrap sour cream, cheddar cheese, and potatoes into one word. But this one's not just spuds and dairy — it also mixes in bacon and sausage. It's definitely a special occasion casserole, but it might be a contender for 'family favorite' at your next holiday gathering.
Kicked-Up Tater Tot Hotdish
Kicked-Up Tater Tot Hotdish by The Pioneer Woman
The Pioneer Woman says "hotdish" is Minnesotan for "casserole." This recipe is a bit more involved, so it may graduate from weeknight dinner to weekend feast. Sliced top sirloin is complemented by onions and peppers, spiced by poblano and jalapeño peppers, a potpourri of vegetables, a medley of sauces, plenty of sour cream and cheese, and tots. It's Pioneer Woman-approved, so you know it's worth the work.
Mexican Tater Tot Casserole
Mexican Tater Tot Casserole by Dear Crissy
You can add this one to your spicy dinner recipe collection. It's kind of like a taco in Tater Tot casserole form. The beef mixture calls for taco seasoning along with enchilada sauce but the spice is tempered by black beans and corn. All of that is topped with tots and cheese before being baked.
Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole
Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole by Cooks Well With Others
Sometimes comfort food means being able to prep something in five minutes, and that's all that's required for this recipe. There's not much to it — cooked chicken, tots, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, sour cream, and cheese.
Tater Tot and Bratwurst Casserole

Tater Tot and Bratwurst Casserole by I Wash You Dry
This recipe was designed for potlucks — it's a dish so wild you just have to share it. It starts with a layer of sauerkraut followed by a layer of sliced brats, then tots and cheese. So easy and so unique that it's a must-make dish.

Last Minute Halloween Party Ideas
This post contains affiliate links.
I threw a little Halloween Party yesterday. We have been in and out of town the past few weeks and our weekends have been slammed with activities so I didn't really start planning what we were going to do at the Halloween Party until Sunday night (the night before the party) which is really last minute for me.
Here is a list of super quick and easy crafts and activities that are perfect if you are trying to put together a last minute Halloween party. These were awesome for me! I also included some of my favorite party foods that are pretty simple. I'd love to hear some of your ideas too!
We didn't do all of these crafts and activities at my party, since you really only need a few, but I'm putting all of these in one spot anyway for next time.
Paper Monsters
You can find my complete tutorial for this Easy Monster Craft activity here on my blog. It is pretty basic. My favorite sort of activities for toddlers involve collages.
Mini Ghost Windsocks
I shared this activity in our Halloween newsletter last week. You can use paper cylinders, paper plates, or even a white paper cup to make these. Then just hang white streamers from them and add a handle to hold on to. We used a craft stick. My son loves running around the house with his!
Pumpkin People
For this activity I gave the kids white glue, pumpkins, sequins, foam shapes, and googly eyes. The activity was very open-ended and they had a blast!
Ghost Bottle Bowling Game
I love this bowling game by No Time for Flahcards! I had this game ready to play but we didn't end up playing.
Paper Plate Monster Craft
You can find the tutorial for these Colorful Paper Plate Monster crafts here on my blog. These are great since they all turn out so differently and kids love getting to use spray bottles.
Button Ribbon Pumpkin Craft
It doesn't get easier than this craft. Just buy the foam pumpkins or cut some out yourself, lay out supplies and glue, and let kids create! Instead of using foam pumpkins you could do these with REAL pumpkins instead. Both are fun! Full instructions for the Button Ribbon Pumpkin craft are here.
Monster Mash Freeze Dance
This activity is SO EASY. Just download the Monster Mash music and have kids the kids dance around. When the music stops they have to freeze in their best monster pose. Keep playing till the kids are all tired out!
Spooky Ghost Science
I wish we'd had time at my party to do this ghost science activity from Bitz N Giggles. I'm still going to do it with my own kids this week. I usually let the older kids try and do it themselves and the younger kids just watch.
Ghost Hunt
Cut out some ghosts from white cardstock and hide them around your house. Have the kids go and find them! Here's a ghost template I've used. You can put numbers on each ghost so that you make sure you find them all.
Marshmallow Halloween Designs
All you need is some sort of picture and a bunch of marshmallows for this one. Go to our Silly Marshmallow Designs post for more instructions and ideas.
Here are some easy peasy snacks and treats that I like to make for Halloween parties or lunches!
Pumpkin Rice Crispy Treats
I got this pumpkin crispy treat idea from Home Stories A to Z and just used regular rice crispies for ours.
String Cheese Ghosts
I have seen these all over pinterest in a variety of places. I am still trying to track down the original blog I found them from and when I do I'll share the link. Sharpie ghost faces on cheese and you are done! These were a hit!
Mummy Hot Dogs
These mummy hot dogs from Frugal Coupon Living are always a favorite when we have a Halloween party. Mine didn't really look like mummies, but the kids loved them anyway.
Sugar Cookie Bars
These weren't actually easy but since my husband made them for me, I'm adding them to my list of favorites. We used this sugar cookie bar recipe from Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms. It is yummy! They usually taste better the second day once they've had time to set, so these are good to make the night before if you are able. We added candy corn on top to make them festive.
Spider and Mummy Cupcakes
These just require some frosting, candy googly eyes, and the cupcakes.
Banana Ghosts and Clementine Pumpkins
These simple snacks from Princess Pinky Girl are GENIUS, healthy, and so easy!

Tell us a little bit about your business
I am primarily a food blogger with a side of travel! I focus on super easy recipes that anyone can make. I love to hack a recipe and take out the hard steps and make them easier (I.e. using cake mix or pre-made cookie dough). My philosophy on recipes is that they shouldn't have any ingredients you can't pronounce, shouldn't have too many steps or complicated instructions and everything is better with sprinkles!
How long have you been using Pinterest and why you started advertising on Pinterest?
I started on Pinterest in (when you still needed an invite to get on the platform). I was planning my son's Bar Mitzvah and we were doing a camping theme. Rustic weddings and parties were really trending and that board exploded!! So all of a sudden I had 1 million followers and at that very moment, Pinterest changed my life.
When did you start using Pinterest for your business and how did you learn about it?
After I started dedicating time to building my Pinterest profile, my following grew to more than million followers. I was getting contacted by national and international companies to partner with them. It was then I decided to build a business around my social following and started a blog. At that time, I had no idea even what a blog was, but I knew I could figure it out. Now my blog gets an average of 1 million pageviews a month and keeps on growing!
Why did you join the Business Community?
Pinterest is my number one referrer to my website. It is essential for any business, be it brick and mortar or online! The analytics are key to understanding how Pinterest can help improve my business. If I can't measure it, I cannot manage it. Therefore, I live by my numbers. It will help me gauge what is working on Pinterest and what is not and how to understand my audience.
We’re curious, do you have a favorite Pinterest feature and if so, what is it and why?
Of course, analytics is where I spend the majority of my time. I pour over the numbers and am constantly analyzing them.
As a user though, my favorite feature is the basic component of Pinterest, its search engine. I am a very visual person and the Pinterest search engine is so helpful helping me find the exact match to what I am looking for.
What’s your favorite thing so far about the Business Community and what would you suggest to make it better?
I adore the community and people helping people. I love being collaborative and helping others, as well as learning from others!! This is a huge space we are in and there is room for all of us to be successful. The more we can help each other, the better we will all do!
My only suggestion is to promote this new community area more! I just happened upon it and was instantly obsessed. I would love to see more like-minded Pinners engaged and active!
What do you like doing in your free time?
Hanging out with my hubby of almost 25 years, my 3 boys, and my 2 dogs! We love to travel and we are always planning our next adventure!
What’s your favorite board on Pinterest?
My favorite board is my WantNeedLove board! It encompasses everything that I love and it is the board that started it all for me on Pinterest!
Anything else you’d like to share with the community?
Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to share and helping me create a career based on something I am totally obsessed with. Pinterest has literally changed my life!
If you are interested, please check out my website and pin, pin, pin away. Please tag me and leave a photo or comment so I can see what you make - it warms my heart to see people enjoying my recipes!
