Pizza Sticks
Pizza Reimagined and Kid Approved! Hi Everyone! Do your kids love pizza as much as my little guy does? We all know it can be a struggle (sometimes war) to get our children to eat at times. Well, fear no more, Pizza Sticks are here! I was at the store one day looking for a fun and simple snack to throw together for Logan and his friends after school and I decided to try creating pizza sticks. What a huge hit! I bought some basic biscuit dough, a few ingredients, and the rest was history. The recipes will be provided below for you guys to try. I love these pizza sticks because…

Chili Cheese Dog Stuffed Biscuits
April, a month filled with baseball and lots of biscuit dough! Baseball season has officially started in the Dillman household. If you are like me, and also have kids starting baseball, you know that making fancy suppers on ball nights is next to impossible. Because of this, I am focusing the entire month of April on biscuit dough recipes starting with these Chili Cheese Dog Stuffed Biscuits. I need meals I know my family will eat and are a quick clean up so we can pack up and head to the ballfield! Can I be real for a minute or two? I know this is a way off topic and has nothing to do with…

Italian Salad
Italian Salad Once in a blue moon, when I decide to torture myself, by cutting carbs out of my diet for a week or two this salad is a life saver. It gives me all the flavors I enjoy in a big meaty hoagie without all the carbs. I know the cheese and salami are fattening but I somehow justify it to myself since I am not layering it all in a carb infested hoagie roll. Also, the fact that this Italian Salad is seasoned to perfection so there really is no need for a fatty dressing is another one of my justifications. Of course, if you feel the need…

Ham Salad Sliders with Spicy Mustard Sauce
Ham Salad Sliders with Spicy Mustard Sauce I served these ham salad sliders at our super bowl party along with some other recipes that came by special request including my Buckin’ Bronco Nachos. I always like serving my recipes to a small crowd to get their reaction before posting them to my website. And I am proud to say that these sliders got rave reviews! While I was preparing the Sliders, I heard a few grumbles coming from the living room about the pickled eggs. I thought I would be nice and make a few without pickled eggs. Well, no surprise to me, the only ones left over were the ones…

Taco Dip & a confession
// Taco Dip I have a confession to make.. I am more concerned about what we will be eating at the super bowl then who wins. And since I am being totally honest I also have to admit that I do not even know which teams are playing in it. Somehow sitting in front of the T.V. watching men throw a ball around isn’t my idea of fun. I would much rather spend my time in the kitchen cooking something delicious for everyone to enjoy. So that’s what I do, cook. When it is time to eat, we call the men, who usually come running out to the kitchen like a…

Yes, peanut butter! My mom has always made her chili this way, and now, that’s how I do it too. The peanut butter just helps to thicken the chili . It also leaves this little hint of flavor that your guests can’t quit figure out, but makes them say, yum! ) Toppings-…

Deep Fried Pizza Tortellinis
* Warning: these are very addicting. Ingredients: 1 – bag cheese tortellini’s 1 – Cup breadcrumbs ( I used plain) 2 – eggs 1 -Cup Mozzarella cheese 10-15 pepperonis ( diced into small pieces OR you could buy a pack of the mini pepperonis) Directions: * I use a deep frying pan to fry these. Make sure your oil is hot enough before you put your tortellini’s in or they will get soggy. I have never used a deep fryer for these but it could be done that way, as well. Thaw tortellini in the fridge overnight. In a small bowl add eggs and beat. In a second bowl add…

Bacon Cheeseburger Quesadilla’s
Bacon cheeseburgers have always been one of my favorites; it’s a classic. I mean seriously, who doesn’t enjoy a big juicy bacon cheeseburger with grease dripping down to your elbows? I wanted to find a way to put all these flavors into one mouthwatering appetizer, and that is exactly what I did! Another reason why I love these bacon cheeseburger quesadillas, is that after cooked, they can be stored in the freezer. Simply cook the quessadillas by following my recipe below. Once they have cooled, place in a freezer bag and store in the freezer. Next time the kiddos or husband gets hungry just pull a few out, place…
