11/16/2012 Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Rolls

Have crescent rolls?
Have peanut butter?
Have chocolate chips?

Then make these!

It had been a long day and I wanted to have something sweet for dessert but also something that was easy. I'd seen the Pin once and it popped in my head when I was trying to figure out what to make.

Noah practiced spreading the peanut butter with his little knife.

He was very careful about where he put the chocolate chips

Then we not so patiently waited for them to bake and then cool

Yum!!!

11-15-2012- REMAKE- Crescent Pizzas

I got a bit behind :-( Things seemed to get very busy all of a sudden.

Along with doing new pins, I'm remaking some of our favorites. This is a remake of the Grand's Pizzas since I didn't get any pictures the first time.

Noah had so much fun helping squish the dough

Putting on the sauce

Adding a little cheese (it was so cute watching him decide how much was enough, too much or too little)

And yes, that's bits of string cheese on top. All we had was "mexican blend" cheese so I cut some up for baking.

And it didn't melt well....

But it still tasted yummy! If When we make them again, I'll be sure to have shredded mozzarella on hand.

Vanilla Steamer from Starbucks

^^look! I'm caught up! This happened TODAY!

Not much to this Pin other than showing off my little man. We went to drop off my car to get it fixed (yay, spending a ton of money!). I told Noah we could go to Starbucks and get a drink for our walk home. Thankfully one of the service guys drove us so I didn't have to trek my butt a mile and a half home.

There was a Pin I saw once that said you can order kids. It's basically milk with vanilla I think. Not too hot either! He felt so grown up and loved showing it off. It was adorable and I know I'll be getting them for him again.

11/05/2012- Mini Tacos

This recipe was mainly promoted to be a football party appetizer or something like that, a general party food. But, me being me decided it was a good Noah food. He's got small hands, so give him small foods.

Noah LOVED helping make these. He helped put all the won ton wrappers in and fill it with taco meat. He tried putting the cheese on top but it was either too much or too little.

See The Pin
In the end they were pretty good. The meat was spicier than normal because I used red pepper flakes this time. Also, the edges of the won ton were very pointy and hurt when they poked the top of your mouth. Next time I do them, there will be corn in the mix along with more cheese and maybe some salsa or tomatoes. It was good, but a bit boring.

10/27/2012- Chili and Hot Dogopus

10/27/2012- Chili, Hot Dogopus

What goes together better than chili, hot dogs and spaghetti? Trick question, I didn't put them together and I don't see how on earth that'd taste good. I had cooked up 3lbs of ground beef and separated it out into one pound bags. I needed to figure out what to do with my cooked beef, and chili was a good option. It was cold, chili's warm and the perfect fall food/soup. So, off to Pinterest I went. I didn't have a packet of chili mix, so that was out. There needed to be a simple recipe for me to use. Thankfully, I found it.

This chili was delicious. Typically, I'm a chili snob. I prefer the packet version with my two cans of whatever it is I add and call it good. This, beat it out of the park by far. It was simple it was tasty and it wasn't spicy. We also made up some yummy corn bread to put in/on it as well.

Noah also got a special treat, we made (what I call) a hot dogopus. What's that you ask? It's a hot dog with spaghetti legs!!!

See the Pin
It's really simple, cut up your hot dog, break apart your spaghetti and stick it in then boil. Easy peasy. Noah had fun making the legs, watching the water and helping me drain (don't worry, I am uber protective of him and watch every move). I think he had a bit of a hard time realizing that it's ok for two such different foods to combine. After eating the first one, however, he didn't care and ate them all up!

10-02-2012- Crescent Pizza, Dyed Pasta

Noah has started to enjoy pizza (which I'm not fond of) and I figured now would be as good a time as any to get some healthier options in him as far as pizza goes. So, we did a cool pin I saw with Grands Rolls, pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Aaron and Noah made it while Mason slept on me on the sofa, so I didn't see it until the end. Noah was SO proud of himself! And they were really delicious. All 8 were gone by the next night.

That night while Aaron and Noah played upstairs and I had time to make dinner, I made dyed noodles. Noah's been on a kick lately that green is his favorite color. You should hear how adamant he is about that. So, I colored his noodles green! He was so surprised and loved it. Aaron said dinner looked like Christmas since I had red sauce on it.
