Garlic Cheese Bombs

One day I'll get back to taking good pictures on my camera but for now you all have to suffer through iPhone pictures. With a 3 year old and 6 month old, my time is too precious to find the perfect lighting and getting a good shot. When dinner is ready I have about 2 minutes to eat before Emma wants out of the high chair so I've got to eat dinner fast or not at all.
These little rolls are delicious! Lots of flavor and can be paired with any meal. And it's filled with CHEESE.. Need I say more?!


What you need:
A can of pre made biscuits 
A block of cheddar cheese- cut into1/2" squares 
4 Tbs butter- melted
1 tsp garlic powder or more to taste
1/2 cup parmasean cheese
2 tsp dried oregano 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the biscuits in halves and stretch out just a little.
Add a cheese cube in the middle and roll the dough around it making sure the edges are sealed.
Add garlic to the melted butter and roll the dough in it covering completely.
In another bowl combine cheese and oregano and roll in that.
Add to pan and bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

*I've made these using biscuits as a whole. Just double everything, make the cheese cubes larger and only cook a couple minutes more!

Healthy Chicken & Veggies

This is one of those recipes that I would highly recommend to anyone. So easy, cheap and HEALTHY! And it only took about 5 minutes prep and 20 minutes in the oven. Major win!! Most of my recipes obviously not on the healthy side so this is a big deal for me and my family! I ate two servings and wasn't even full. Plus I keep craving it so it will probably become a regular at my house!



What you need:

2-3 raw chicken breast chopped
Veggies 
(Peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, onion, pretty much whatever you want)
1 TBS Italian dressing seasoning
1 tsp Paprika
2 TBS Olive oil
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Add chopped chicken to a baking dish, add chopped veggies, add olive oil, Italian dressing seasoning, paprika, and salt and pepper. Mix it all around together and cook for 20 minutes. 
That's it! I served mine with brown rice. It's soooo good. And if your left overs are a little dry, I just 
added a teeny bit of soy sauce!

Spray Bottle Paint

I should've posted this at the beginning of the summer.. But since I'm so good at procrastinating I'll post it on the first day of fall. This is such a fun, easy and cheap activity for your toddler. Go to Walmart, grab some 99 cent spray bottles, washable paint and some canvas. Put the paint in the spray bottle and add some water and shake it around. Then let your kid go to town sparying the canvas!!
