Sunday fun day!

GO BEARS :)

Italian meatloaf

I like to make mini loaves instead of 1 big loaf. This should make 4 nice size portions for you!

 1 1/4-1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
 1 large egg
 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs
 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
 1/4 cup tomato sauce
 1/2 parsley(chopped)
 1/2 tsp pepper
 1/2 tsp garlic salt


 Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in bowl,mix until well blended. Split meat mixture into 4. Form 4 mini meatloaves on baking sheet. Cook 35 minutes or until cooked through. Enjoy :)

Christmas morning breakfast

This makes alot,so it is enough for evereyone!!

 8 slices of white bread(no crusts)
 8 eggs
 4 cups of milk
 1 pound bacon
 1 pound shredded cheddar cheese
 Salt and pepper(to taste)


 Beat together eggs,milk,salt and pepper. Place bread in bottom of 9x13 pan. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Pre heat oven to 350. While preheating,cook bacon in a frying pan until crisp. Spread cheddar cheese over egg mixture. Crumble bacon over egg mixture and cook for 1 hour or until firm. Enjoy:)

Cookies

I am not a baker,but I found this recipe for Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies and it looked easy,so I tried making them. Well,they are super yummy and super easy!!


  1 cup creamy peanut butter
  3/4 cup sugar
  1 large egg
  1/2 tsp baking soda
  1/4 salt
  1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  Parchment paper

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together peanut butter,sugar,egg,baking soda and salt until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Spray tablespoon with cooking spray if you have it to help the dough not stick to the spoon. Drop dough an inch apart onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake 12-14 minutes or until puffed up and browned(be careful not to burn them,I did on my first batch. Burnt peanut butter does not taste good!). Let cool and enjoy :)

Broccoli casserole

Ok,this is my favorite time of year for a bunch of reasons. One of those reasons is making broccoli casserole for the holiday dinners coming up! I make this the night before so there is one less thing to do the day of. I also make a double batch because I am a pig :)

 1 small white onion(diced)
 4 stalks of celery(diced)
 1 tsp butter
 1 10.5 oz can of reduced sodium cream of chicken soup
 1 10.5 oz can of fat free cream of celery soup
 2 cups of instant white rice
 1 14 oz bag of frozen broccoli(florets or pieces)
 2 15 oz jars of cheez whiz
 1/4 tsp salt
 1/2 tsp pepper


 Add butter,celery,onion,salt and pepper to frying pan and saute until celery is almost fork tender. While that is cooking,get a large microwavable container. Add soup and cheez whiz. Stir well until combined. Add onion and celery mixture to soup mixture. Stir well. Stir in rice and broccoli .
 Cook in microwave for 15 minute intervals,stirring each time until broccoli is tender. It should not take more than 2-3 times. Enjoy :)

Sweet potato fries

I love me some sweet potatoes!!! This recipe is easy and for everyone. My twins love them.

 2 medium sweet potatoes(peeled and cut into "steak fries",usually 8 per potato)
 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
 1/2 tsp pepper
 1/4 tsp paprika
 Sea salt(3-4 cranks)

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. Put all ingredients into bowl and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated. Spread onto a baking sheet. Cook 30-35 minutes,or until cooked through(depends on the thickness of fries).
 *If you like them extra crispy,throw them under the broiler for the last 5 minutes. Enjoy :)
