Trying new recipes ....

I love to try out new recipes when we have company - Some are afraid to do this in case the recipe is a flop, but I always take the chance and welcome the feedback!

Here are a few I have tried recently and most I will definitely make again:

Grilled Cheese Roll-ups

You simply cut the crust off the bread and roll thin with a rolling pin.  Lay one slice of cheese (or grated cheese) on the bread and roll tightly.  Brush melted butter on the edge to secure it shut.  Brush melted butter all over the bread and fry, rolling to brown all sides:

This was a success!   It is so easy for the 'littles' to pick up!

This is a Breakfast Pizza - I made up the recipe as I had no time to research ideas and it turned out delish!:

8 eggs

2/3 c milk

1/4 c green peppers

1/4 c red peppers

1/4 cup diced pepperoni

1/2 c mozzarella cheese, grated

1/2 cheddar cheese, grated

S&P

Prepared thin pizza crust

Mix eggs, milk and peppers and scramble over med heat.  On prepared dough sprinkle mozzarella cheese.  Top with scrambled eggs, then cheddar cheese and pepperoni.  Bake for 20 min @ 400°

I'll be making this again - I LOVE thin crust, but might use a thicker crust next time!

Waffle Cups:

This was a gift from a friend....

I made some "cups" for ice cream sundaes....

I am not sure if I like this - I also made regular waffles for my grandsons and they were a hit.  With this waffle cup maker I think I need more practice!!

These are my favorite ice cream bowls - they keep it nice and cold!!

Pickles - 2nd time around

Save the pickle juice. when the pickles are all gone....

This tray also comes in Royal Check:

Slice up1-2 cucumbers and place into clean jar.   Heat the leftover juice to boiling....

...and pour it over the cucumbers

Seal tight, cool and refrigerate.  Let sit for 3-4 day and enjoy!!

Pickled Carrots

These are so good on salads, on a charcuterie board or just to snack on!

*************

Taco Salad

I simply fried up ground beef and used a taco seasoning packet.  The base is a typical green salad with tomatoes, celery, cucumber, peppers, topped with shredded cheese, taco meat, salsa and more cheese - don't forget the chili corn chips! YUM!

I saw this online - no greasy mess!

I didn't make this but it's OH SO GOOD:
