Pepperoni Pizza Puffs First Patriots game of the season was last night, and Dan was giddy with excitement. Me? Not so much. As dreamy as Tom Brady is, my favorite part of watching football is the eating. I saw this recipe for pizza puffs on FoodGawker and knew right away that I was going to have to make them. These puffs are seriously delightful, guys. Ingredients: - 3/4 cup flour - 3/4 cup milk - 1 tsp baking powder - 1 cup shredded cheese (I used Parmesan and Colby Jack) - 1 large egg - 1/2 cup green onions, chopped - 1/3 cup pepperoni, chopped/diced - Salt/pepper to taste - Italian seasoning Steps: (1) Preheat oven to 400, and grease a mini-muffin pan.> (2) In a large bowl, mix everything but the Italian seasoning.** You should get a batter that’s slightly less thick than pancake batter. (3) Scoop batter into the cups of the mini-muffin pan, about 2/3 full. For other great recipe ideas, click here.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge Yes, really. If that doesn't stop you dead in your tracks, then I don't think you're human. This is serious stuff.

Grilled Cheese Crescent Bites Like most kids (and many adults), my children love grilled cheese sandwiches. There's something about the ooey, cheesy goodness that just brings comfort and happiness to your kitchen, especially on a dreary day. While my kids like eating the grilled cheese sandwiches I make, I'm not really comfortable letting them stand in front of a hot frying pan to make their own. We decided to come up with a more kid-friendly version they could help make using another one of their favorite ingredients ~ crescent rolls! Check out our awesome bite-sized version... They're easy, yummy and perfect for kids and adults! Here's what you need: Don't you love two ingredient recipes? Here's what to do: 1. You'll use a half slice of cheese in each roll. 2. 3. 5.

Mini Ham & Cheese Quinoa Cups Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups are poppable, gluten-free, and packed with protein. The perfect breakfast or snack! I had this whole spiel ready about how real men do, in fact, eat quiche, as demonstrated by Ben who housed nearly a dozen Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups that resemble wee baby quiche for dinner, but then I remembered that quiche have crust and Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups do not, so in reality they’re more like mini frittatas and well, all was tragically lost. Ok, let me explain. First of all, Mini Ham and Cheese Quinoa Cups might be my new favorite thing on the planet. I may or may not have squealed with delight when they came out of the oven. They’re basically mini frittatas containing eggs, egg whites, cooked quinoa, shredded zucchini, cheddar cheese, and diced ham, but I couldn’t name them Mini Ham and Cheese Frittatas because Ben won’t knowingly eat frittatas. Are you still reading? Plus, they’re so versatile. Plus they take no time at all to make. Mix. Description
Parmesan Hash Brown Cups I made these hash brown cups to serve at the bridal shower brunch I co-hosted a couple of weeks ago. They accompanied quiche (made by my friend Becky), Mango Fruit Salad Salsa with Sugar and Spice Tortilla Chips, and Make-Ahead Sticky Buns. I love hash browns with a crispy exterior and moist tender interior. By cooking these hash browns in muffin tins, a large part of each individual serving forms a crispy, brown crust around the cup shape of each muffin portion. Use mini muffin pans for bite-size morsels. Step 1. You also need shredded potatoes. Step 2. Step 3. view on Amazon: my nesting mixing bowl set Step 4. Step 5. view on Amazon: 6-cup regular size muffin tins - I prefer 2 of these pans over one pan with 12 cups for more flexibility in a crowded oven & for making smaller batches.mini muffin tins - bite sized for appetizer platters and a healthy substitute for tater tots. Step 6. Step 7. Step 8. Crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. For breakfast, brunch or dinner.
Grilled Cheese Rolls Please bear with me as my site undergoes some construction, I promise it will be very pretty soon! You may have noticed that I made the big switch from Blogger to WordPress so I am still learning the lay of the land over here. The new site will be very user friendly and I am so excited to share it with you soon! It is a little morbid to think about, but if you had to decide right now, what would be your very last meal on Earth? As Blair and I drove to the Shake Shack a few weekends ago, I claimed mine would definitely be a cheeseburger and milkshake. Of course, grilled cheese is not wonderful in my book unless accompanied by tomato soup. Grilled Cheese Rolls Ingredients: 4 slices wheat or white bread, crusts removed 4 slices American or cheddar cheese What you’ll do: After removing the crusts from the bread, take a rolling pin and slightly flatten the slices of bread.
