Good Sunday morning!! (or afternoon as the case may be!)
Here's what I had for breakfast this morning. Super easy and very satisfying and yummy!!!
Waffle Scramble
*1 whole grain low fat waffle
*1/4 C egg beaters
*1 slice american cheese (i used the weight watchers brand sliced cheese-if you use regular american sliced cheese add 1 extra point to your points total-if you care about that sort of thing)
*1C chopped spinach
*1/4C chopped fresh mushrooms
Cook waffle in toaster. While it's toasting heat the spinach and mushrooms in a skillet until warmed through and the spinach has started to wilt. Add egg beaters and scramble.
Top hot waffle with egg mixture and top with slice of cheese.
Enjoy!!!

Shrimp Salad with Wheat Thins
Today for lunch I wanted something light and easy. We are all running in different directions and for 2 seconds I wanted to be able to sit down and enjoy lunch with the hubs and the kids. Of course they had cheese, ham and crackers for lunch and that didn't sound good to me so I whipped this up. Enjoy! I would recommend letting it sit for a while before eating, we ate ours right away and it wasn't as good as I'm sure it would have been had it sat in the fridge for an hour. I just couldn't wait that long! :)
Shrimp Salad with Wheat Thins
1 1/2 C salad shrimp, thawed
1/2C mayo
2tbsp garden veggie cream cheese
2 green onions thinly sliced
2 eggs, cooked and chopped
1tsp dill seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
parsley to taste
1tbsp dried celery flakes
(pretty much whatever seasonings you like)
mix ingredients and chill for an hour. serve with wheat thins.
this makes a yummy lunch or snack! would also be good on bread as a sandwich. You could chop up the shrimp for a finer consistency, but I left them whole.

Waffles
Now here's something that would be perfect ANYTIME!!!!
I treated myself to a waffle maker about a month ago.
And not a week has gone by that we haven't used it. Today was no different. Normally I've been using a biscuit mix to make them, but today tried a from scratch recipe. They were good, but I think next time i'll add some cinnamon or some other flavor's to it. I found the original recipe on ALLRECIPES.COM
Best Waffles
2 1/2 C all purpose flour
1/2 C cornstarch
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 eggs, seperated
2 1/2 C milk
2 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp veg. oil
2 tbsp sugar
Preheat waffle iron.
In a large bowl mix together dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl mix together egg yolks, milk, vanilla, and veg. oil. Blend into flour mixture to form batter.
In a medium bowl, whip egg whites with sugar until soft peaks form. Fold into the batter.
Spray waffle iron with Pam or lightly brush with oil. Ladle batter in and cook until golden brown.
These were really good!! Perfect for just about anytime you have the craving!! You know you are on to something when the kiddies prefer these to mac n cheese for lunch!!

Just for kids
My kiddos got some great cookbooks for Christmas and my oldest was looking through one of them the other day. He found this recipe that he wanted to try. So I figured why not. It's good that he wants to cook and try new things and he was able to do most of it himself. So we are happy with that too!
Hot Dog Pizzas
5 hot dogs, cooked
1/2 whole wheat bagel per person (or a whole bagel if you are a grown-up)
ketchup
shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven broiler to low. Toast bagels.
Slice hot dogs into bite size pieces
Once bagels are toasted, put ketchup on them. Place as much cheese as you like on top of the ketchup and top with hot dog slices.
The is the oldest. He really got into making these!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place bagels back in oven for about 5-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
These really were good. They look kind of weird and in the beginning they sounded really weird, but honestly, these were good. Perfect for an after school snack.

Super Bowl (GO STEELERS) Snacks
I'm so excited for the Super Bowl this Sunday!!!
Even though we live in AZ we are die hard Steelers fans. We've received a lot of grief about that. But that's ok. It's all a part of the fun!!!
So here's a recipe that would be super yummy to munch on during the game. My mom used to make these little appetizers all the time while I was growing up. They aren't fancy, yet they pack a HUGE punch of flavor. I really love them and anytime we had company I would always ask her to make them. Oh and did I mention that they are really easy??
Cheesy Sausage Balls
3 cups bisquick mix
1 pound sausage (I like mild but I bet the spicey would be super in this!)
4 C shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 C milk
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and shape the mixture into balls. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool and eat. These are good by themselves or you could have a dipping sauce of your choice. My mom always had these without sauce.
sorry, not my picture, found it online.

Upside-down Pizza Pulls
Happy Friday!!
It's football night at our house. BYU vs. UTAH St. It's a big night. So we decided instead of our regular pizza we'd try something new. I found this recipe on the kraftfoods.com website. It looked really easy and super yummy. Here's what I did:
Upside-downPizza Pulls
1 refrigerated pizza dough
1/2 pound sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/2 large onion, chopped
2 large tomatoes, chopped
shredded cheddar cheese
shredded mozzarella cheese
1C (give or take) italian dressing
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray a 9X13 pan with cooking spray.
Place veggies and cheese in bowl and coat evenly with dressing. Add more or less depending on how you like it. Place mixture on bottom of baking dish. Cover with the cheese, again as little or as much as you like (we like a lot so ours is extra cheesy).
At this point I added a little more dressing to the top of the cheese.
Open dough and spread out on counter. Cut into squares. Place squares on top of cheese until covered. Place in oven for 30 minutes. Once cooked, cool 10 minutes and invert onto platter or pan of choice.
I had leftover dough so I took the squares and added some sausage to each one and scrunched them into balls. I cooked them at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. I like to call them little sausage poppers. These are great anytime.
Hope you enjoy!!!

PB & J Biscuit Puffs
Happy Saturday night! I hope you've had a grand day. Our family was extremely lazy today! But I guess everyone deserves one of those every now and then!
Tonight we had breakfast for dinner. I tried a new recipe instead of the same ole pancakes. You can find it here. Thanks to Stephanie for a GREAT idea. I tweaked ours a little because the bananas we had weren't quite ripe.
2 C flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 C peanut butter
1/2 C shortening
3/4 C milk
jam of choice (I used grape)
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add shortening and peanut butter and mix until mixture is crumbly looking. Add milk (may need to add more depending on how dry it is). Put mixture on a lightly floured board and knead a few times. Cut into 12 pieces and place in a muffin pan. Feel free to use liners (I did-one less pan to wash). Top with small amount of jam. Bake for about 15 minutes. Don't let them get too brown. I served these with loaded scrambled eggs and hash browns. It was a yummy dinner and something different.
I hope you enjoy them!!

Mmmmmm Nachos
I love nachos.....yummy! My favorite thing to order whenever we go to Taco Bell is the nachos. So why not have some homemade ones. I'm feeling the need to feed the craving..
I think I made enough for an army even though me and the husband were the only ones eating them.
Put oven on broiler-if it has a low/hi setting use the low setting.
Place ships on sheet pan and top with cheese. Broil for about 5 minutes.
When they come out of the oven if you have super pickey eaters then let them top their own, or you can do like I did and just throw all the toppings on it right out of the oven.
This makes a great lunch or if you just make a little a perfect after school snack. Since we are currently watching our BYU Cougars beat UCLA I thought it would be perfect.
