EASY Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches!

Pin this recipe for easy access later: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/420101471469485076/

Ingredients:

  • English Muffins
  • Eggs – 10 + a splash of milk & a pinch of salt
  • Breakfast Meat – I used Canadian Bacon… I was in a circles kind of mood… LOL
  • Cheese Slices – I used Sargento Ultra Thin Slices, so I could add 2 different kinds of cheese
  • Pam

What You’ll Need:

  • Short Cake Cutter
  • 9×13 Cookie Sheet
  • Blender

Step 1: Pre-Heat your oven to 375 degrees. Now, blend up your eggs. I used my Ninja blender to quick mix the 10 eggs with a little bit of milk… about a 1/4 cup and add a pinch of salt. Using a blender also helps get them FLUFFY, instead of dense.

Step 2:  Then spray your cookie sheet with PAM and pour out onto your cookie sheet. Put in the oven for about 20 minutes… give or take a few… until eggs are firm.

Step 3: While eggs are cooking I cooked my breakfast meat a bit, I also put the Canadian bacon on a cookie sheet and into the oven it went!

Step 4:  NOW it is time to assemble! Cut your English Muffins in half length wise. I used a pastry cutter to cut my eggs and cheese into neat circles! Assemble & TA-DA! YUMMY & EASY breakfast sandwiches.

Step 5:  Freeze in bags. Microwave 1-2 minutes (until heated thru) on a papertowel.  They taste EVEN BETTER after they were frozen and heated up for breakfast!

Individual Pineapple Upside Down Cakes

Individual Pineapple Upside Down Cakes

Ingredients:

  • cooking spray
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1½ cups brown sugar
  • 24 maraschino cherries
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (reserve juice)
  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (and oil and eggs called for on the package)
  • 1⅓ cups pineapple juice (you just need as much pineapple juice as water called for on the cake mix package – see note)
  • confectioners’ sugar for dusting
Notes:
Just replace the water called for in your cake mix with pineapple juice. You should be able to reserve the juice from the crushed pineapple and have enough pineapple juice to use here. If you are a little shy on the amount of juice, just use water to fill the rest of the liquid called for in the recipe.
*Some people like the look of pineapple tidbits better for this recipe. I tried both and the crushed pineapple has a lot more flavor and looked prettier.

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray 24 muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • Line a work surface with parchment or waxed paper.
  • Spoon 1 teaspoon melted butter into the bottom of each sprayed muffin cup.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon brown sugar in each muffin cup.
  • Press a maraschino cherry into the center of the brown sugar in each muffin cup.
  • Spoon a heaping tablespoon of crushed pineapple over the cherry and compact it with the back of a spoon into an even layer.
  • Mix cake mix according to the package directions, replacing the water with pineapple juice. This may vary according to which cake mix you use. In large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Turn mixer speed to medium and mix for 2 minutes.
  • Pour pineapple cake batter into the muffin cups, filling them almost to the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool at least 5 minutes before inverting muffin cups onto the waxed paper to release. Serve with pineapple and cherry sides up. Sprinkle cupcakes lightly with confectioners’ sugar if desired.

Green & Gold Stuffed Pepper Soup (Crock Pot Recipe)

green & gold stuffed pepper soup

Green & Gold Stuffed Pepper Soup (Crock Pot Recipe)

Do you like Stuffed Pepper Soup? Want to try a healthier option? Here is what I came up with today after needing to use up some Yellow Squash Zucchini & Green Peppers from our garden. Lovingly named by my son, “Green & Gold Stuffed Pepper Soup.” The name may or may not have something to do with the fact we are from Wisconsin. GO PACKERS!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Medium Sized Yellow Squash Zucchini
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • 8 Green Bell Peppers
  • Two Cans of diced Tomatoes (14.5 ounce) – I used organic, salt free)
  • 1 can of tomato paste (12 ounce)
  • Eight Cans of Water (Use tomato Paste Can) IF you want that “beef” taste you could add some beef stock
  • 2 tsp. Chili Powder (More if you like)
  • (Optional) 1 tsp. salt

Directions:

  • Wash Green Peppers, core and chop into pieces
  • Wash Zucchini, cut off both ends, then chop into pieces (I DO NOT PEEL. I use EVERYTHING except for the ends.)
  • Peel & dice onion
  • Add all chopped veggies above to crock pot
  • Add both cans of diced tomatoes, can of tomato paste, and eight cans of water to crock pot
  • Add 2 tsp. of Chili Powder to crock pot
  • Mix it up
  • Cook on high for 8 to 10 hours (depending on if you want crunchier veggies)

That is it, Simple as that. It ended up tasting delicious! My husband who DOES NOT LIKE soup even enjoyed it. If you would like your soup a little thicker, leave out a few cans of water. It tastes just as good if not better then regular stuffed green pepper soup with ground beef and rice, just a healthier version.

  • Healthy
  • Low Carb
  • DELICIOUS! Give it a try…

Supplies Needed:

  • Food processor
  • Cheese cloth
  • Parchment Paper

cauliflower pizza

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups florets only of cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (I used Kraft bottle)
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 450 Degrees Fahrenheit
  • Wash and Air Dry Cauliflower Florets (ONLY USE Florets) in a strainer. Mine took about 40 minutes.

cauliflower first picture

  • Place the flourets in the food processor and turn it on for about 1 minute or until all the florets look like bread crumbs. Mine took about 1 and a half minutes. (Should look like Panko Crumbs)

cauliflower second photo

  • Place the cauliflower on the cheese cloth and squeeze the water out!  This is very important. You don’t want your cauliflower crust to be wet or it won’t be crispy like a pizza crust.

  • After squeezing, transfer into a working bowl and mix the salt, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese together. Then drop the egg into the mixture.
  • MIX WELL!!
  • Use parchment paper. Form your pizza crust to a circular shape or square shape, which ever you prefer.

cauliflower pizza 9

  • Put the crust in the oven for 10 minutes or until it has a bit of a golden brown appearance. Remove from oven and  start building your toppings! Put your pizza back into the oven for another 10 minutes or until the cheese melts. I like mine a little crispy, so I baked my pizza for 13 minutes.

TIPS:

You can fail at this recipe if you don’t squeeze your cauliflower!

IF you prefer, You can use 2 egg whites instead of one whole egg!

  • Easter Bunny Peeps
  • Round mini pretzels
  • Cream-filled snack cakes (like Twinkies, or Little Debbie Cloud Cakes)
  • White frosting or decorator icing
  • M&M’s candies

Directions:

  • Use frosting to adhere the bunny peep, mini pretzel “steering wheel” and halved marshmallow “tires” in place.
