Random Recipes of fun

So this week we have done some random cooking. Chantel and I have really enjoyed grabbing a cookbook and picking out something to cook. Here are the pictures.

Honey Garlic Meatballs (with noodles). We took our normal meatballs and made a honey garlic sauce that we found in the Company's Coming Beef Cookbook. Should have halved the sauce recipe or doubled the meatball one.

Blueberry Cheesecake. Benjamin and Chantel love Cheesecake. They found a random cookbook at the library and found the simple cheesecake recipe in it. They fought over who got to lick out the pan.

Cranberry oatmeal. Chantel was cold and I was craving something more substantial for snack tonight then chips. This made enough oatmeal to feed our entire family twice... Jenna loved the pink colour but no one else would eat it except Chantel and I. I found the recipe at http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/blueroom/cranberryoatmeal.htm

Have a great week.

If you want any of the recipes give me a shout. 

Pancake Santas

We were looking through one of Dad's cooking magazines and found a recipe for Santa Pancakes. In the end we actually didn't follow the recipe at all.

But here is what we did.

We used our favourite pancake recipe. Purchased some extremely healthy cool whip in a can, grabbed some strawberries, a banana and some chocolate chips. The picture above shows the results.

Try it some time. They taste great.

Pizza Wraps

Due to popular demand I am going to start posting some of the recipes I am trying and the food storage I am attempting.

So without further ado here is the first one.

Chantel and I were flipping through Company's Coming Rush Hour Recipes and found on page 31 Pizza Wraps.
here are the ingredients listed in the book:

can of pizza sauce  7 1/2 oz
large flour tortillas  4
chopped cooked ham 1/2 cup
slivered pepperoni   about 16 slices or 1/2 cup
medium red pepper slivered  1
small red onion (sliced)  1
sliced ripe olives   1/4cup
pineapple tidbits well drained 1/3 cup
grated medium cheddar cheese 1/3 cup
grated mozzeralla cheese       1/4 cup
finely grated parmesan cheese 1/4 cup

Divide and spread pizza sauce on 1 side of each tortilla.

Layer next 9 ingredients, in order given, down centre of each tortilla to within 2 inches of bottom edge. Fold bottom edge over filling. Roll up from 1 side to enclose filling leaving top open. Arrange tortillas, seam down, on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 375 F oven for about 15 minutes until lightly browned and crisp. Makes 4 wraps.

We used the ingredients we had and found them really suprisingly filling.

should have taken a picture. Oh well next time.
