Everything but the Pie Crust and Eggs should be pre-cooked.

Lets say in these we are doing bacon, sausage,spinach, mushrooms, green onions and mild chedder cheese (I did these for MOP's)


Ingrediants
12 to 18 Eggs
2 boxes of Pre-Made Pie Crust
Handfull of Spinach
1/4 Cup of Chopped Mushrooms
1/3 Cup of Green Onions
1/2 Cup of Cheese
1 cup of Ground Sausage (I used Jimmy Dean)
8 Strips of bacon fried to a crisp and crushed (highlight of my morning)

Chop everything fine these are little cups!!!

Pre-Heat Oven to 375oF
On a lightly floured surface,eat oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured board, roll out pre-made pie crust (use your rolling pin to flatten them out all the way).
CLEAN TIP: Using a damp paper towel wipe down your counter, the lay clear plastic wrap as smooth as possible before sprinkling flour or rolling out dough. Makes Clean up a BREEZE!!!
 Using a 3" cookie cutter cut out circles ( I made about 42) and have circles left over to make "Stick Pie"

In a lightly sprayed non-stick muffin pan, place circles. You want the sides to go up a little these are little cups...

Saute your veggies and cook your meats until well done.. 

Now assemble you a buffet style bar LOL and here comes the fun.. 

Pick and choose what goes in each one.. A teaspoon of everything or a table spoon of one..
 
Then put just enough egg in there to set up (around a 1/2 tbs to 1 tbs, do not try to measure it. Just eye ball).

Then put some cheese on top and place in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes...
Let Cool for about 5 minutes and Enjoy!!!

Homemade Tortilla Chips

Homemade Tortilla Chips!

1pkg of Corn Tortilla
Spritzer with with Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Fryer with Oil

There are two ways to cook these. Which one you choose is totally based on what you like. I love the fatty chips (Fried) however my daughter, son and husband prefer baked chips.. :-D

Lets do Baked first!

*Pre-Heat your oven to 400 degree's

*Take a stack of corn tortilla's and cut them into any shapes (my little girl likes hello kitty :-D)

*Lay a single layer of cut tortilla on a flat sheet pan, spritz with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt
*Place in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minuets. Make sure to keep an eye on them they go from    perfection to burnt in a matter of seconds!
* Allow to cool for about 2 minuets before putting in a bowl!

Now to FRY!
*Pre-Heat Frier to 350 degrees
*Take a stack of  tortilla's and cut into any shapes (I do wide stripes, that way I can use them in tortilla soup)
*Place a few cut tortilla's in the oil, it takes about 2 to 3 mins.
*Remove from oil and place on to a paper towel and sprinkle the chips with sea salt before they cool to much!


ENJOY!!!

What's for Dinner (Monday, September 30, 2013)

As we approach the start of the Fall/Holiday Season, I wonder what's for dinner. How does your family swap from Summer Fun to Fall Foliage?  The signs in my home are we are outside more, cars are being washed on a daily basis and of course I start baking more and more.. Since is the first day of October I think I am going to rename is Baketober! Baketober will consist of a new baked good daily. :-D This will be expanding not only my baking world but also give you a look inside my world of picky eater family!

If you have a suggestion on something you want to see me "Try and Reinvent" please feel free to comment!!!

Going Gluten Free! Making the Choice!

If we make this choice it will be hard! The question we have to ask ourselves is with the end product be worth it???

In the Works - Muffins

So why sitting and holding my monkey, I got the craving for muffins. Romulus is a very generalized healthy food picky eater.. LOL.. I know crazy right! He loves healthy food and chocolate, but not really anything fating. We made muffins the other morning and he devoured the Strawberry and blue berry muffins, but didn't touch the double chocolate chip muffins. So that got the wheels turning on some yummy yummy muffins (Didn't help that on #thechew today Daphne Oz made some amazing Muffins). So the recipe "In the works" is Muffins


My process is to fine a basic recipe and Mandieize it!!!

The Mandieized Basic's:
1 egg
1/4 cup oil  - Use Applesauce
1/2 cup milk - Use Almond Milk instead, It's healthier and Rominator prefers it!
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar - Use the Molasses
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup fresh blueberries or any berries
1 cup of Nuts (almonds, walnuts or pecans)



Please note this recipe is in the works, has either been tried and need adjustments or etc. This is BAKE AT YOUR OWN RISK.. As soon as it is tested and finalized it will posted for it's own card!!!

It's been a While

So I have not posted in a really long time, but I'm hoping to change that! As I add Recipes! If you have any request please feel free to email or message me.
