Mini Omelets

Pin It Now!

This morning we thought it might be nice to make up some mini omelets that we discovered on Pinterest. These seemed very easy, and since I have had a great deal of total failure with omelets in the past, these were definitely worth a try! Below is a picture of the final product as shown in the pin as well as a link to the pin itself.

So as usual we started by gathering our ingredients (We just made our omelets bacon and cheese for the kids) : 5 eggs, 3 Tbsp half and half, 1/2 cup bacon bits, and 1/2 cup shredded cheese(we used sharp cheddar) , and non-stick cooking spray.

 

After we had all of our supplies we added the eggs and half and half to a mixing bowl and mixed it using a fork, after that we added the mix to the cupcake pan.

After we had added the mix to the cupcake pan, we added our filling! We sprinkled a little bacon and cheese into every cup. After everything was in the pan we backed on 350 for about 12-15 minutes.

Finally we got to remove them from the oven and see how they worked out! Yay they are a success!! The mini omelets worked out exactly as described! Not only were these very tasty, but the kids loved them as well. I can see many occasions were these would be a real time saver, these can be picked up and eaten on the go. You can choose to add any ingredients that fit your taste buds, we just used the supplies we had on hand at the time! Feel free to comment with any questions! Thanks for reading!

Baked Cheese Balls

Pin It Now!

So we were going to try the marshmallow caramel popcorn next, but as most of us know, it is way too hot for something that sweet at the current moment. So instead we tried the baked cheese balls we found. The picture from the pin is posted above.

Okay, so we started this by gathering the three simple ingredients the post called for : String cheese, milk, and bread crumbs. I placed the breadcrumbs in a gallon sized Ziplock bag and shook them for about two minutes after coating with milk. Finally I placed them on a greased cookie sheet and baked on 425 for the recommended 10 minutes.

Finally for the reveal!!

Yeah the turned out about exactly as I had assumed, but since we all know what they say about assuming, we gave it the old college try! As you can most likely tell from the picture above though, they did not work! Not only was the milk not nearly enough coating for the breadcrumbs to stick to the cheese, but they completely melted in the process as I assumed they would! So as for now, the baked cheese balls are an epic fail! Check back later for our version of a working baked cheese ball!

Kit Kat Cake 2.0

Pin It Now!

OK!! The cake turned out AMAZING!! It was a HUGE hit with the family! We made a few changes as you can see. 1) Ours is rectangle instead of round which I thought made it super easy to apply the kit kat bars. 2) we used white kit kat bars instead of chocolate because we wanted ours to resemble a picket fence. 3) we used all green mint m&m's which I wasn't too sure about at first but with the chocolate cake it worked out awesome! We used one box of devils food cake in a 13x9 pan and cut it in half, then we trimmed the edges to size and stacked them on top of each other. If you use the white kit kats use white frosting behind them or it will look like a very dirty picket fence, and that's just not all that appealing.( to me at least) The flowers I made out of the card stock punch outs you can buy huge packs of them in different colors for scrapbooking. And the stems were just two straws cut in half. This was super easy to make and very good to eat!If you have a flower/garden lover (like my mom) I suggest trying this cake out, it was awesome! Feel free to comment with any questions!

Check back later this evening to find out! We will be making a few minor modifications, but it should get the idea across just the same.

Cupcake Mold Pizzas

Pin It Now!

My post for today is going to be about one of the first thing I tried from Pinterest, the cupcake mold pizzas. When I saw these for the first time I knew they would be a huge hit with our children, but I was very skeptical as to whether they would actually work out or not. First we gathered all of our ingredients: The cupcake mold, Pillsbury Pizza Dough, Shredded Cheese, Hormel Pepperoni Minis, Pizza Sauce ( We just used Ragu Marinara ), and then the cupcake tin.

Next we sprayed the pan very lightly with non-stick cooking spay and added the pizza dough. The link connected to the pin used a muffin pan, and did not describe how to place the dough very well. We just used as much dough as it took to cover the bottom of each cupcake hole, that seemed to work out fine.

Next we applied the sauce, cheese and pepperoni. We have made these two times now, and you definitely have to put more sauce than might seem necessary. We only put about a tablespoon of sauce the first time around, and they turned out very dry. The second time we nearly doubled that and that seemed to work better. The cheese and pepperoni are pretty self explanatory.

Finally we baked them on 425 for about 10-15 minutes and BOOM!!! They turned out great! Overall I think the pizzas took about 20-25 minutes from start to finish, and they turned out great! Our kids loved these, and it makes great deep dish mini pizzas that kids and adults alike will all enjoy!
