Menu Monday

Last week was kind of slow for dinner. I can't seem to remember why either, which is just sad. I'm pretty sure everything else I made was just a repeat of something already posted. Nothing exciting. Sorry!


One night last week I made homemade pizza rolls. They were delish! I found them on Pinterest but it took me several clicks to find the recipe. So here is a quick guide:

Ingredients:
Crescent rolls
4 Cheese sticks (cut in half)
Pepperoni

Topping:
2 Tablespoons Butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1 Tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated

Pizza sauce (optional)
Ranch Dressing (optional)

First, rolls out crescent rolls. Place pepperonis down first with 1/2 cheese stick on top

Roll it up!

Turn in corner (or you can do this before you roll)

Bake at 350* for 15 minutes

I baked corn along with them so they took more like 20

Once they are done, brush the butter mixture on top. I put them back in the oven just for a few more minutes so it could soak in.

Carefully remove from oven and enjoy with pizza sauce or ranch!

Note: My cheese didn't melt very well, so I put it under the broiler for about 2 minutes and that helped. I think because I used the low fat cheese--that's all I had.

Homemade Beef and Cheese Burritos

One thing that really drew me to this recipe was that you can freeze these separately. So let's say I'm home by myself and J is back to work, I have lunch! Although I'm pretty sure I'll be eating a bunch of deli turkey and chicken after H is born. I miss it!

A good friend of mine is having her baby as we speak and I made some of these for her and her husband as well. Super easy and delicious!

Menu Monday-You don't want to miss this!

Linking up with Rachel today for Menu Monday!

I've been so proud of myself for cooking new items and for cooking quite a bit lately. Tuesday's are difficult because J has class and doesn't get home until 11. So I usually eat leftovers or Subway. Friday nights J works. I usually eat the opposite of what I didn't eat on Tuesday or something else (ie. Amy's burritos or Amy's Mac & Cheese). It works out pretty well.

Since I forgot to post Menu Monday last week, here are some dishes we've had over the past two weeks.

Spicy Pasta Sausage

I saw a lot of girls on Twitter making this so I had to try it out. Not only was it super easy but it was delicious too! We are big turkey sausage fans in this house so we were excited to try it. J even took leftovers to work the next day!

Pad Thai

I didn't take a picture so you get this one!-link below

I used a combo of this recipe and Rachel Ray's recipe. I really liked Rachel's sauce and thought it was easier to make. It turned out delicious!

Coconut Chicken Curry

Again, not my picture-link above

Over winter break I had Indian food for the first time and fell in love! I wanted to try to make it at home and found this easy recipe. It was awesome for being homemade and for me never making Indian food before. I actually didn't put it in the crock put and it still turned out really well. I'm excited to make it again!

Turkey Meatball Subs

I don't have a picture for these and the one online doesn't do them justice. I've made these Rachel Ray meatballs before and they're our favorite by far! The recipe makes a ton so I always freeze them for a later time.

Pizza Subs

Normally when we make meatball subs we use wheat hot dog buns but J decided to get these honkin buns last week. I didn't want to waste them, so I decided we were going to do pizza subs one night. This was not a Pinterest recipe but so easy to make.

Ingredients:

Turkey Pepperoni

Banana Peppers

Green Olives

Cheese

Pizza Sauce 

Any other toppings that you desire!

J was in charge of making these. He put all the pepperoni, peppers, olives, and sauce into a skillet and warmed it all up. While he was cooking those items together, he toasted the buns lightly. He put the mixture on the buns and sprinkled with cheese then stuck them under the broiler until the cheese was melted.

They were delicious!! 

*Note: When I saw that J brought these huge buns home, I made sure to dig out the insides so there wasn't as much heavy bread there. I can't handle all of that white bread!

**Note: All of these meals gave us left overs, which was wonderful since there is only two of us!
