Sunday Funday // simple appetizer

Currently I am posted up with my hubby watching Red Zone all day. A lazy Sunday of coffee, pancakes, bacon, and TV. 

I made an easy appetizer today that consists of:

Croissant rolls

Bacon

Jalapeños

& Cream cheese

Simply take your uncooked croissants and add a mini piece of cooked bacon, two slices of jalapeños and a tiny spoonful of cream cheese. Wrap your croissants up and bake as directed on the package. 

Easy and delicious! Happy Sunday!

Sunday Funday // football food

I've come to the conclusion I only cook during football season and it's only on Sunday's. We seem to be so busy during the week that Sunday is the only time we slow down and hang out with family and friends. I made pepperoni pizza bites. It's really simple and you can tweak it to any way you'd like. Use pizza crust as the base (I used pillsbury), and whatever toppings you'd like. I chose:

Pizza sauce

Baby spinach

Grated mozzarella cheese

Pepperoni

Apply all your toppings:

Roll the dough into a log and place on a cookie sheet. 

Bake in the oven at 350 for 20 mins

After it has cooled you can cut it into pieces. 

A recipe // The not so sloppy, sloppy joes

                                   

Sloppy Joes were definitely a staple in my house while growing up. I swear we had them at least once a week. They are so easy to make for dinner during the work week while trying to juggle homework, laundry, dishes, bath time, story time....Ect Ect Ect. 

Well this is MY take on the famous Sloppy Joe---

You will need

1 lb ground meat

1/4 cup of black beans(drained)

1/2 cup chunky salsa

1/2 cup of frozen corn

Hamburger buns

A hungry belly

                     

Cook the meat as you normally would until brown. About 5 mins. On high. 

Drain all that nasty fat juice. 

On that note I found an awesome way to dump grease out of your pan is to take a piece of foil, put it in a bowl, and dump the grease in there from the pan. When the grease hardens, just ball up your foil and throw it away. Life saver y'all!!!

Reduce heat to medium. Stir in corn, beans, and slowly add salsa. Cook until mixture is heated through. The end. That's it. Easy peasy. 

I make it a lot and T.J. Hasn't thrown up yet :)So that's always a good sign.
