Meat & Cheese Rolls

The other day my daughter was having a hard time. Just imagine a temper tantrum about nothing!  I invited her to sit with me and look at Pintrest pins.  This peaked her interest!  I asked her if she could help me find something yummy to eat or a craft to make!  Instantly she found this pin for crescent rolls with meat & cheese in it.   Here's where the pin sends you!  We made these for lunch today!  We didn't use the sauce or as much meat.  I used Swiss cheese & chopped it into tiny pieces. A few of them I used garlic white cheddar cheese.  When we ran to Walmart this morning, we were in a hurry to grab a few things and get back home.  While I looked at cheese my daughter asked me if I could buy some cheese like the last "spicy" one she tried at the Tillamook Cheese Factory.  I told her it was the White Cheddar Garlic cheese.  I found some in a package of slices, no blocks or shredded.  She asked me to make her some with this cheese in it! She loved it!  My picky eater didn't complain about the meat or cheese!

Here's what I used! Get the lunch meat in the deli.  The pre packaged stuff looked kind of green in my opinion!

 

This is what it looks like when it's all cooked up!

A close up of what it looks like inside!  YUM-O!!  I forgot to get an onion so I didn't make the AU Jus dip!  Definitely will make when I do this again!

Three of my children and I gobbled up all that I made!  I think my picky eater husband will like these!  The garlic cheese ones really enhanced the flavor of the roast beef meat used!  Too bad my oldest wasn't here to have any!  He's at scout camp till Saturday!  Thank you for adding this recipe to Pintrest!!

What have you experimented in the kitchen with lately?

Moo cow

I swear all I hear all day long is mommy I'm hungry! Mom I need something to eat. These kids need to stop eating so much.  It's not out of boredom.  They are plenty entertained.  The youngest is going thru a growth spurt and his sister is trying to catch back up with him and it's just not working! We go thru so much milk, peanut butter and ranch dressing I almost think we need to take stock in these to start getting our moneys worth or buy a cow. MOOOO!

At the baseball game this kid ate three hot dogs! He's always stuffing his face with food! He keeps asking me is it school days yet? Nope not yet...

Have a happy, fun and safe Fourth of July.

How are you celebrating the 4th of July?

Oranges Juiced

This morning my buddy woke up with a cough. It's sounding kinda croupy.  I gave him some toast and yogurt for breakfast. Gave him some cough medicine. Then handed him an orange to peel & eat. He just played with it. What a boy!  I told him lets make orange juice!

He squeezed the juice out of it. Then....

He squeezed the heck out of it! (Yes, his wording!)

Now he's drinking it!

We don't have a juicer, but this lime squeezer (He calls it the squeezer) does the job the rest the way.  Use whatever you have on hand to make some fresh orange juice!

And don't forget to squeeze the heck out of it!!  I guess you just had to have been there for it to be funny.

Have an awesome weekend!

What are you doing this weekend?

Pretzel Bites

Have you ever looked at a recipe and wondered should I really do that part of it?  Well I made these pretzel bites to go with dinner this past weekend.  The recipe had you boil the dough in water mixed with baking soda for 30 seconds or so.  I thought that was very interesting.  Having never made pretzels before I thought I would give it a try!  Okay the only pretzels I have made are the ones from the bag found in the chip isle, melt chocolate, dip, sprinkle sprinkles on, you get the idea or the ones found down the frozen section, until I found this recipe.

This recipe I found online thru Pintrest.  Click here for the link to the recipe! Follow the recipe exactly how it says.  Yes even boil the dough in the baking soda water!  When baking them make sure you keep an eye on them in the oven so they don't over bake.  I think this weekend I will make these again and the cheese sauce from the recipe too.

Here's my Pintrest link to where I pinned from a friend!  These are my pictures showing how my pretzel bites turned out.  I made the pieces from the dough bigger than the recipe says to. Hope you try them soon! My kids loved them! YUM!

Have you made pretzels before? Made anything successful from Pintrest lately you would like to share?
