We really like this recipe. Although my almost 3yr old has decided all veggies are bad so she wouldn't eat them but she ate everything else.  This was a very quick and easy recipe to make. The original recipe said to cook it for 35 mins but my Perogies were in the deep freeze so it took almost 50 mins. So just keep an eye on it. This recipe will definitely be used again.

Sloppy joe cups

It has been a while since I have blogged but it has also been a while since I have cooked anything new.

Tonight was a new take on a old recipe. A while ago I made Sloppy Joe squares this is almost the same just a different thing done with the crusts.

Ingredients


1lb Ground beef
1 tbsp dried onion
1 tsp garlic
1 orange pepper chopped
1 tsp prepared yellow mustard
3/4 cup Ketchup
3 tsp brown sugar
water to thin out if needed
Pillsbury biscuits and/or crescent rolls

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Then take the biscuits out of the container and roll each one flat. Then press into a lightly greased muffin tin and up the sides to make a cup.  Place the pan into the heated oven for 2 min then press them down with a spoon to form a cup. Do this every 2 mins until golden brown. 

Remove them from the oven and the pan and let cool.

Brown the ground beef. Add other ingredients and then simmer for 10-15. and serve


This was a really nice way to do this.  Great for portion control. I also took the crescent rolls and cut them into smaller circles to use in a mini muffin pan which was great for my almost 3yr old. But they do cook much faster. My daughter loved that they were just her size. My 8 month old son liked them filled with yogurt.  These would also be great for a bbq or party.

Baby Teething cookies

Ingredients
2 tbs butter
1/2 C. Sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp water
1 1/2 C. Baby cereal


Cream butter sugar and egg. Add baking powder, salt, vanilla and water. Gradually mix in cereal. Roll out to about 1/2 inch and cut into shapes and Bake at 300 for 20-30 mins


This recipe has a fair bit of sugar but has alot less junk than most. I plan to make a different recipe of Teething cookies without sugar. I just couldnt find the recipe today. I will blog it as well. 



I used a mixture of 2 different kinds of cereal i used 1 cup mixed grains and 1/2 cup raspberry rice cereal. These taste really good and mash up really nice.

Sloppy Joe squares

Sloppy Joe squares

 1lb Ground beef
1 tbsp dried onion
1 tsp garlic
1 orange pepper chopped
1 tsp prepared yellow mustard
3/4 cup Ketchup
3 tsp brown sugar
water to thin out if needed
Pillsbury crescent rolls

1. Heat oven to 350°F. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in all other ingredients except the crescent rolls. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.


  • 2. Unroll 1 can of the dough; place in ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Press in bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of dish. Spread beef mixture over dough; sprinkle with cheese. Unroll second can of dough; place over cheese. Sprinkle with sesame seed.
  • 3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until mixture is bubbly and dough is golden brown. Cut into squares to serve.
    I really liked this recipe. It was very fool proof. Next time I make it I plan to try to make my own crescent roll crust since Pillsbury is expensive and full of lots of crap. But it was easy to make and I wish there was twice as much of it. I could have ate it all by myself.

Chicken Pot Pie cupcakes

Chicken pot pie Cupcakes

  • 2 cups Cooked chicken breasts diced
  • Can of cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup Frozen mixed veggies
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dried thyme
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic salt
  • Can of pillsbury biscuits

directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, frozen veggies, cheese, herbs and spices.
  3. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin and place the Pillsbury biscuits into each cup, pressing into the bottom and up the sides.
  4. Evenly spoon the pot pie mixture into each biscuit cup. Slide into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Check at the 12 minute mark.


These were really yummy but made a really big mess in my muffin tin. I am looking forward to eating it for lunch. After telling my mom about the mess she suggested doing it in a tin foiled cake pan and making the biscuits into a crust. I think this would be just as yummy but way less mess. You could also make it with out all of the spices for kids. 

Very quick and easy.

"Stovetop" meatloaf muffins

1 jar (125ml) pureed sweet potatoes
1 jar (125ml)pureed green beans and apple blend
1 egg
1 box of stovetop stuffing
1 lb of ground beef

Mix together and place into muffin tin. Bake at 350 for 30 mins

Really moist and yummy. The spices of the stovetop add lots of flavor and the baby food add lots of hidden veggies for my little carnivore.
