Homemade Nutella | Beyond [the Plate] As I typed the title of this post, it struck me that it could just as well be called “The Season (for) Forgiving” and would be equally apt, considering the usual stresses/regrets/insecurities/excesses that accompany this time of year. But that’s a negative way of looking at things, and who needs Negativity in the week leading up to Christmas?

For the past three years, I’ve stumbled upon an activity that’s turned into some sort of a tradition – making Christmas gifts. I suppose it’s nothing to be surprised about considering the many Christmas cards I used to make for my classmates back in school. Although tedious, it kept this teenager gainfully occupied for the holidays, and gave me a legitimate reason to stake out stationery stores, swooping up pens, markers and craft paper in any and every color. As much as I love a good and productive shopping trip, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as investing a bit of oneself in a gift for the special people in our lives. One more Moore: When it's too hot to bake, we no-bake. Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies that is. I haven't made these in ages and forgot how good they are. Here's the recipe so you can make them, too! Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Cookies1/2 C Butter2 C Sugar1/2 C Milk4 Tbsp Cocoa1/2 C Peanut Butter3- 3 1/2 C Quick cooking Oats2 tsp.

Vanilla Add the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, and boil for 1 minute. We took a Sunday drive (a habit, it would seem as of late) to the Angeles National Forest and needed a quick treat and these were perfect. Cinnamon French Toast Bake. Pepperoni Cheese Stick Roll Ups. These Pepperoni Cheese Stick Roll Ups are great for kids and crowd pleasers. I know it feels a bit schizophrenic around here bouncing back and forth from healthy to naughty dishes. But there’s just so much food and so little time. Don’t I sound like Ben from the Bachelor if he were living in a mansion with girls made out of food? Okay…maybe that was a stretch. I don’t know how you couldn’t feel a “connection” with these Pepperoni String Cheese Rollups. They’re almost like these Pizza Rolls or these Stuffed Pizza Rolls, but definitely the easiest of all of them.

I made these for my kids in under five minutes. But they aren’t just for kids…I’m thinking Super Bowl grub for sure. And yes, I’m completely ignoring the fact that TGWAE now has over 20,000 facebook fans. And now I have to do another giveaway…because you all are so nice. Not today. Look at that cheesy goodness! Pepperoni Cheese Stick Roll Ups Ingredients Garlic Butter Glaze: Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crescent Pepperoni Roll-Ups. After all the holiday cooking last week, I needed some simple recipes for dinner this week. I saw these pepperoni rolls on Pinterest and decided to make them for pizza night. This is one of those "why didn't I think of that" recipes!

I can't believe I've never thought to do this before. I like to use turkey pepperoni on pizza. My favorite brand is Bridgford Turkey Pepperoni - it tastes just like regular pepperoni, but it isn't greasy! Crescent Pepperoni Roll-Ups 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls 40 slices turkey pepperoni 4 pieces of mozzarella string cheese, cut in half garlic powder pizza sauce Preheat oven to 375. Unroll crescent rolls and separate into 8 triangles. Easy Philly Cheesesteaks. These Philly Cheesesteaks are amazing. Period. A special “thank you” to my husband for thinking of adding cream cheese. It adds a whole new dimension that I can’t live without anymore. These also make GREAT French Dip subs.. just simmer up some Au Jus and dip the subs in.

I can’t even begin to tell you how good it is! Oh the deliciousness… Ingredients 2 c. beef broth 1 pkg onion soup mix 1 lb. Instructions Bring beef broth and onion soup mix to a boil. Copyright Favorite Family Recipes 2012 Here is a picture of the sandwich before all the different cheeses are added. Plain Chicken: Sloppy Joe Biscuit Cups. Thursday, March 8, 2012 Sloppy Joe Biscuit Cups Chicken Legs is a big fan of sloppy joe's. I like the flavor of sloppy joe's, but I hate how messy they are.

I always end up eating them as an open faced sandwich. I decided to solve this problem by putting the sloppy joe mixture in a biscuit cup for dinner last week. Sloppy Joe Biscuit Cups(Printable Recipe) Add this recipe to ZipList! 1 lb ground round 1/2 cup ketchup 4 tsp sugar 4 tsp mustard 4 tsp vinegar 4 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 Tbsp dried minced onion flakes 1 can (10-count) regular refrigerated biscuits (not Grand's) 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Recipe Ideas. Pretzel Dogs. As kids, my mom did a great job of putting healthy meals on the table every single night and we ate as a family at the table just about every single night as well. It’s something that I highly value now and will continue to do when Kyle and I have kids of our own. For a period of time during my childhood, however, my dad was an over-the-road truck driver. There were lots of quiet weekends in our house during the times he was driving and to boost all of our spirits, once or twice a year, my mom declared a “pig out night.” We’d stock the house with food we’d never usually eat – chips and dip, mozzarella sticks, pizza fondue (homemade), pigs in blankets, and ingredients for ice cream sundaes.

It was the pigs in blankets that were the highlight for me so you could imagine my excitement when I came across this grown-up version of pigs in blankets. Pretzel Dogs source: Fake Ginger, pretzel recipe from Alton Brown Printer-Friendly Version For boiling: 10 cups water 2/3 cup baking soda. Mini Garlic Monkey Breads. I love this time of the year . . . when everyone is posting their top recipes for the previous year. It gives us a chance to see the recipes we might have missed and it allows us to see the very favorites! I love to see the blog owner's favorite recipes, because out of all the recipes we/they made out of an entire year, to have one be the top, it must be very very yummy! These garlic monkey breads were Real Mom Kitchen's favorite bread recipe from 2011. They turned out really good and they were so easy to make.

I was worried that the garlic flavor was going to be overpowering, but it wasn't at all. In fact, next time, I might even add a tiny bit more garlic. I served these alongside this amazing Tomato Basil Parmesan soup and loved it, but I think they would be so good with spaghetti or lasagna too. Mini Garlic Monkey Breads 2 (7.5 oz) cans buttermilk biscuits 6 Tbl. butter, melted 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 Tbl. dried parsley flakes 1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese plus 2 Tbl. to sprinkle on top.
