Mocha Tartlets, Mmmm
I love chocolate! I always tell my kids, if they want candy, chocolate is a better choice then any of the “sugary” candies out there. I love coffee, espresso in mochas to be exact. I love cooking with Pillsbury refrigerated dough products, they are verastile and easy to use. So here we are! A concoction of 3 things I love. Enjoy! Mocha Tartlets 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 1 cup milk chocolate chips 1/4 cup butter 2 tsp Fine Ground Espresso (I used Illy) MELT (30 seconds in microwave, stir, heat 20 more seconds) Roll out Pillsbury dough of choice (I used crescent rolls) Cut out circles with…

A Yummy, Healthy, Fruit Smoothie
Ever since I got my Ninja I have been promising the boys a fruit smoothie. The week before I had picked up some frozen strawberries and blueberries. I went to work. I wish we had bananas though, I love bananas in smoothies. It was yummy, the boys ate it right up. I especially liked the whipped cream. We ate them with spoons then drank up the last of it. 2 cups Strawberries 1 cups Blueberries 2 cups Ice 1/2 cup Milk 1 cup Strawberry Yogurt (7 oz) 2 tbsp Honey Lemon juice from 1 Meyer Lemon Whipped Cream *My husband added sugar to his so it may need to be a…
Another Hit from Allrecipes.com
My husband has been asking for a pasta casserole for a long time and so this past Friday, I decided to cook up a yummy casserole for my Dearest. I went straight to Allrecipes.com as usual, love that site. Used Ingredient Search for: Spinach, Pasta, Cheese I decided on Cheryl’s Spinach Cheesy Pasta, which has 4 and half stars from 238, make that 239 people! We rate it a 5! All the boys cleaned their plate and Daddy was heating up bite-fuls all night!
A Nostalgic Lunch
What to do for lunch? That question is the question I battle with almost daily. I never want to get boring or bland with the lunches I make for my little guys. I partake in Muffin Tin Mondays sometimes, which is fun. You arrange all kinds of yummy food in muffin tins, kids love it. While trying to figure out what to make yesterday all I knew is I wanted it to be warm and comforting. I also did not want it to be too filling since it was only lunch time and we have 2 snacks times during the day. I thought chicken noodle soup sounded yummy, open the…
Quick, Low-Cost, Yummy Dinner
Yesterday marked day 3 of being at home. We ran out of a lot of things in our kitchen. I wanted to throw something warm and comforting together. I also spent most of the afternoon reorganizing so when dinner time came let’s just say I didn’t have a lot of time or energy. I went to the pantry and found 2 cans of cooked chicken breast (a nice item to have, quick and versatile), I also had carrots that I needed to use, chicken stock was the 3rd thing I found. I then went to allrecipes.com and did an ingredient search… The results came back and they had some excellent…
A Delicious Gift from God
What’s not to love about avocados? They might be the most delicious super-food in the world. Healthy snacks that my kids like are sometimes hard to come up with. One thing that has proved to be a favorite is avocados. Avocados, like many fruits and vegetables, amaze me. That you can walk up to a tree, pick a fruit, cut it open and enjoy it fascinates me. Avocados are creamy, light, and delicious. The possibilities are almost endless. Some ways we like to use them: Guacamole – mashed with garlic salt, chili powder, splash of lemon and salt Sliced on sandwiches and burgers Diced and served with eggs, sliced tomatoes and toast Served with…
Homemade Almond Joy from Joy the Baker
I love Joy the Baker, she has inspired in so many ways. She comes up with such yummy, interesting recipes. A couple of weeks ago she made Homemade Almond Joy candy bars. Simple recipe, super delicious. Although they are super rich, must have coffee or milk with one. Her’s turned out looking perfect, mine did not. They were still yummy. Even though mine aren’t that great looking, they did taste delicious. Also, with the leftover chocolate I coated some almonds, huge hit with my boys! On a side note: I almost didn’t post this because I don’t like the way mine looked… but then I was thinking that that is…
