Yes, I will get to it….I am just SERIOUSLY proud of myself here. I have this A*MAZING friend, named Lexie who does A*MAZING blog headers and buttons, and she is SO sweet to do them for me. But I have always felt SO stupid for not being able to do them myself! So the other day, I sat down, and just kept trying til I did it! I am MEGA-proud of myself! Now to remember how to do it next time…
Anyway, so now I have a new header and button. How cool is that?
**************************************************
Now, onto the important stuff….
Heidi does this Iron chef challenge every month, and every month, I get my “grill” on and try new recipes. This month there are *NINE* entries! OYE! BUT, they are all kid-friendly, made-by-kids recipes.
(I don’t use “grill” other than the one you cook on…I don’t know why I said that….sorry….I won’t let it happen again….)
We tried our first one Saturday for lunch.
Recipe #1: Mini Pizza Cups from Lillian
Ingredients:
• 1 tube (11.3 ounces) refrigerated dinner rolls
• 1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/3 cup finely chopped green pepper
• 2 ounces sliced turkey pepperoni, chopped
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Gather the ingredients:
Rename Potato Washer, Pepperoni Stealer for obvious reasons. 
Chop the pepper because I wasn’t about to hand over a sharp instrument to ANY of my children no matter how much they begged.
Have Child #1 flatten out the biscuits and put them in the muffin tin that have been sprayed with Pam.
Then have them spoon in the sauce…
Assure your oldest that the pictures are NOT going on the internet or the BLOG….
Laugh hysterically as he let’s his guard down and starts goofin’ off for the camera. BAHAHAHAHAHA
{ahem}
Remind the chefs they are to put the pepperonis ON the food…not eat it….again.
Pop ‘em in the oven for a billion degrees for about 3 days and VIOLA!
OK, now, let’s get real with this recipe:
It was good. My kids HATED the peppers and onions. And they lost interest after only doing 12. But in our family, and with friends over, we had to do 40 of those bad boys…so I ended up finishing the last 38. I only have ONE muffin tin, so this is how I cheated….pretty ingenius if I do say so myself:
I flattened out each biscuit with one of my glasses so it made a little cup in itself.
How sweet is that?
And then I added all the ingredients minus the peppers and onions and baked them. Got them done in half the time.
Rating:
Definitely kid friendly! NOT easy if you have a LOT to make.
Stay tuned for upcoming recipes! And THANKS HEIDI!
Dadgum it, I thought I left a comment. I mean, I typed OUT a comment, but I guess it didn’t save. Oh, snap. Anyway, LOVE the header and button, and the pizzas look yummy; I like your solution in place of muffin cups (and I use those pan liners, too). Bug Hunter wants me to make “pizza rolls”, like cinnamon rolls but using sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. I’ll let you know how it turns out; it may be more “kid friendly” than this recipe!
they did 12? LOL well, that didn’t work out too well did it? I think Santa needs to bring you some muffin tins girl. When is 12 ever enough in your house? LOL looks yummy though and a kid friendly food to eat anyway. I cannot vote for this dish though… for obvious reasons.
hehehe
Excuse me ma’am, but you did a KNOCK OUT JOB of your header!!!! You are awesome at that!! And the pizza food looking thingy looks good too, but your header rocks!! PS I missed you too.
