Friday Finals - Kroger Mega Event & Tom Thumb
It
has been announced that we are officially out of the drought here in North
Texas. This is really good news for us, since our lake is now only 5 feet under
normal levels. At the end of summer we were 16 feet and falling. If we did not
get rain this winter, we were going to be restricted to only drinking and
bathing water. I was trying to explain this to my daughter, she said we could
just drink milk. I love the way a child’s mind works. She is 10 and I want her
to have an understanding of the world and how each thing is connected. So I had
to tell her without water the cows won’t have anything to drink or eat either.
Then I saw her little light bulb go off right above her head.

Whatever Wednesday - Homemade Pizza Rolls
When I asked
my stepson what he wanted to eat for his birthday party, he told me pizza. I am
not the type that wants to do just boring pizza. So I started thinking. Then I
remembered Double Daves, a pizza place here in Texas. They serve their own version
of pizza rolls. These are the best thing I have ever had. After a little bit of
research I found a recipe as a guide for homemade pizza rolls, since this recipe was basic and used more
processed ingredients than I wanted to use, I made own version of homemade pizza rolls. I made my own pizza dough from scratch using my bread machine. Overall these are pretty easy to
make, but a little time consuming.
This takes a
little timing if you are doing this for a party. To make sure the pizza roll dough is
ready in time and the rolls will be ready when the guests arrive. This recipe makes
enough to put two batches on a pizza stone.
Homemade Pizza Rolls
First make a
2 pound batch of pizza dough using a bread machines recipe, or the largest
amount of dough you can make. Add two cloves of minced garlic and a teaspoon of
Italian seasoning to add a little flavor to the dough for the rolls. You can adjust to what
you like.
Preheat the
oven to 400. Cut the dough in half. Then sprinkle some flour on your surface to
roll out half of your dough for the pizza rolls.
Start working one half of the the dough into a round shape. This may take a while. Try stretching it in your
hands if using a rolling pin proves difficult.
Make about a
12-14in circle. Just like pizza.
With a pizza
cutter or sharp knife cut into eight pieces for eight pizza rolls.
Starting at
the large end of the dough, place 4-6 slices of pepperoni at the end and put a
piece of mozzarella on top. It can be sliced, block or shredded. Since, these are homemade you can fill these pizza rolls with whatever you want. I am traditional and love pepperoni.
Fold the sides over onto itself and stretch the back over the cheese and pepperoni and roll.
Stretch the dough as you roll to the point to form a tight seal, so the cheese won’t leak
out. It is ok if it does. Do the same for the other half of the dough.
You can spray
the homemade pizza rolls with your MISTO spray bottle filled with olive oil and place them on
a cookie sheet or pizza stone and cook in the oven on 400 for 15-20 min. The oil will
provide a nice brown coating on the outside of the rolls.
Serve these homemade pizza rolls with warmed pasta sauce or ranch dressing for dipping. Very yummy.
~ ~ ~
I was able to
time it where I pulled out the last batch of homemade pizza rolls right before the first guest arrived and kept them in the oven on warm until everyone arrived. Then we ate hot homemade pizza rolls. I am going to make another batch using whole wheat flour and keep
them in the freezer. When the kids want a quick snack or I don’t feel like
cooking lunch, we can just pop them in the microwave and serve. Let me know if you make these. I know you will be hooked.

Friday Finals - Kroger, Tom Thumb, CVS and Sprouts
I have been super busy this week. I am planning my stepson’s
birthday party. We are hosting a Wii party this year at our house. I can’t wait
to share the pictures of all the things I have made to make this a great
birthday for him. There was not a lot of stuff out there for Wii party ideas,
so I had to come up with a few of my own. I will take lots of pictures and
share on Wednesday.
I am also a team coach for my daughters DI team. DI is a
great organization where the kids put on a skit based on criteria provided and
also have an instant challenge. It teaches leadership and developing new skills. Any and all schools can participate, even
homeschooled children. You just need to get a team together. We are in our
build phase for our set and I have been having girls over at my house painting,
sawing, drilling. Whatever it takes to get the job done. Needless to say I am exhausted.
With these two events going on this week, my life has been a
little chaotic to say the least. I did manage to get some shopping in. My
grocery bill is a little over budget, but some of these items are for the
party. As you may also see, it is mainly snacks. We had run out of just about everything
except crackers. So I made sure we stocked up. We will see how long this holds
us over.

Tips for Tuesday - Quick and Easy Breakfast
Most of us
are looking for a quick and easy way to start the day. Let’s face it if the
morning starts off bad, the rest of the day goes with it. Breakfast can be one
of those moments where you can save a little bit of time and money. Cereal
coupons are not always easy to find or always a good buy. Most of the time
cereal is packed full of sugar and carbohydrates and not the most nutritious
way to send the kids off to school. They will be on a sugar high and it will be
difficult for them to focus during the morning. They will be hyper at first and
then hit that crash after about an hour or more.
How can you reduce your morning
stress, save money,
and provide good nutritious food for
your kids in the morning?
One thing you
can do is prepare a nutritious breakfast for the kids ahead of time. On the
weekend try cooking a double batch of what you are eating on the weekends. Then
you can take the leftovers and have those during the week. This provides the
kids with options for breakfast.
Instead of
making one pound of breakfast sausage, make two. One for eating on the weekend
and put the leftovers in a container to heat up during the week. If you like bacon, make the entire package of bacon. Drain and let cool, then freeze it. Take it out as needed and pop it into the microwave for 30-60 seconds. This is also great for instant bacon bits. Bacon freezes great and comes out crispy in the microwave. This will save
time and provide a great protein for the morning.
There aren’t
many people I know who like dirty dishes or like to cook a big breakfast on
school mornings. A quick idea for making scrambled eggs is to spray a coffee
cup with cooking spray. Then crack the egg and scramble it up in the cup and
cook for 1 minute in the microwave. As soon as you get it out. Cut it up some
more. This is quick and easy. You could also mix it with some of the sausage, a
little cheese, put it in a tortilla and have a quick breakfast taco.
Make a double
batch of muffins on the weekends and place the leftovers in the freezer. As
soon as they come out of the oven put them on a cooling rack. Once they are
cooled place them in a freezer bag and then in the freezer. To thaw and eat, take
two out and place in the microwave for 1 min. They usually come out perfect. I
use whole grain wheat and a fruit to make this a heartier muffin. I normally
make them from scratch for pennies a piece.
Pancakes are
so easy to freeze and to have ready for the kids on school mornings . To add
more protein to your pancakes add a half cup or whole cup Greek yogurt to your
batter and decrease your liquid. Another bit of nutrition, add some frozen
berries or pureed fruit to the mix. If you do both you are providing a protein
and a fruit along with the carbs to make the pancake a complete meal. This will
keep your kids full longer and avoid the carb crash later. I also use a
multigrain pancake mix. Make a double batch. Once the pancakes are done, place
them on a cooling rack to cool. Then place them in the freezer. I find they don’t
stick together nearly as much after they are frozen. Then you can pop them in
the toaster or microwave to thaw. Instead of syrup to top them off with some
powdered sugar. It gives them the sweet taste, but they will not eat as much
sugar.
If you start doing these things for your morning routine, you will find that you will not only save time, but you may also find you save money too. I have a pantry full of cereal that has not been eaten in while. The kids love the muffins and pancakes and little do they know it is good for them too! Do you any great time saving tips for the morning?

more saving than half this week.
I
feel my pantry is pretty stocked right now. In February it will be a year since
I have started extreme couponing and my pantry is stocked more now than it ever
has been. I like that I have food to cook at any time. I can also make just
about any meal or snack, since I already have most of the ingredients for
anything I may want to cook. Even if the kids suggest something I usually have
the ingredients to make whatever they want. This has allowed me to stay at home
and still cook nutritious meals and snacks for the kids.

Product Review - MISTO olive oil sprayer
I found this
great little gadget when I was shopping for Christmas gifts this year. It is
the MISTO
Olive Oil Sprayer. This serves two purposes for me. One I can put whatever oil
I want to inside and two it is a GREEN product. I love the fact I can purchase
oil on sale and I can put this into the can and use it for all my cooking.
Also, I am not filling up some land fill with emptied spray oil bottles. I use
mine more than I used the spray can oil and I am using far less oil on my food. I
am not only saving money, but calories too!
This is so
easy to use. You fill the MISTO
container about half way full of oil. The extra space is needed to provide air
pressure for the fine mist spray. Then you just pump the top about 10 times or
so and spray oil on the surface you want to use. This is great for spraying
muffin pans, cake pans, frying pans or whatever else you don’t want to stick.
You can even mix up a salad dressing and spray on your salad. I use mine all
the time.
MISTO
is around $10 for the bottle. After four uses it pays for itself. Since normal
aerosol spray oil cans cost over $3 a piece. I used mine for a while before I wrote
an article on this fabulous product, since I wanted to make sure it would last.
I have used it and refilled it once. Once you see how little oil is in the
product you purchased before, you will so thankful for how much money you will save.
