Smilely Pizzas! Healthy and fun!

Don't forget to have fun with dinner!! These are whole-wheat sandwich thins, with our favorite toppings!! Easy, healthy, and fun!!

Easy Breakfast Frittata


I made this for my husband one morning with some things I had laying around in the fridge!! Easy to do with some leftovers!! 

Cooked tatertots
eggs
milk
cheese
chives
cooked onions, peppers, mushrooms
salt & pepper
 any cooked meat, or chopped lunch meat would be a great add to this! 

Pre heat oven to 400
Layer the bottom of your hot (med-high heat) frying pan with tater tots, then pour egg milk mix over top.
Then add the cooked peppers/onion/mushroom mix. 
Let that cook for about 5 mins, top with cheese and chopped chives and seasoning. 
After you're sure the bottom is cooked and theres only a small layer of uncooked egg on top, transfer frittata to pizza pan with foil, and finish in the oven for 5-7mins. 

You know its all done when a toothpick comes out cleanly, or you can cut through and there's no runny eggs.

Enjoy!! Enough to feed 2!

Top with your favorites, and don't feel guilty about giving it to your kids!! And they think its a real treat!!

Fusilli with Mozzarella and Gravy:)

Fusilli with Mozzarella and Gravy

  • 1/2 box of Fusilli (curly) pasta
  • reg. olive oil + (extra virgin to add at the end)
  • butter 
  • 1/2 white onion 
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1c red and 1c yellow cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red and 1 yellow bell peppers
  • 1pkg marinated mozzarella balls
  • 2 lemons
  • salt and pepper

Cook the pasta. In the pan, heat reg. olive oil, then add onions and peppers and butter. Let those cook until they are soft. Add Garlic and let it for a few minutes. Garlic burns very easily so watch it! Then add 1 lemons juice.Then add the flour, and let it cook for a few minutes. 

Once everything is cooked together add the tomatoes and cheese with the liquid from the container. I soaked mine together and chopped the cheese ahead of time.. but I'm sure it would be fine if you didn't. Cook all together for a few minutes, add the cooked pasta, and other lemons juice, extra virgin oil and salt and pepper. 

The mozzarella will melt some, and the tomatoes will be slightly soft. Serve with bread! Soo yummy!!
