EASY PEASY BBQ!!!

Ok! I have to start out this post by letting everyone know, I have NOT THE SLIGHTEST clue how to Bar-B-Que!!!   I have watched and flipped a few burgers to help my dad, but I seriously am so proud of myself this weekend. It was my dad's Birthday and I took over the grill, so that he could relax!  A co-worker had brought in left over kabobs last week, and I was way jealous!  I figured, it couldn't be that hard!  and I was so right!

I set off to the store! I picked up some chicken breasts, shrimp, onions, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and pineapple! (feel free to add any fruit or veggies you and your family love!)
Note: I decided to do the chicken and shrimp on different skeweres, since the chicken takes a little longer to cook.
I marinated the chicken and shrimp in a red pepper sauce!  It was a hit! and even better; I found it at Big Lots for only $2.00!
While the meat is marinating, also soak the skewer sticks in water (this keeps them from burning).
Then cut all your produce in to chunks
Thread the skewers and throw them on the grill and turn skewers occasionally.
The Chicken ones take about 10-15 minutes as the shrimp only took about 7-10!
I did not do this, but a friend told me for next time to line the grill with aluminum foil, to keep track of any pieces that fall off!   I only lost one onion in the grill! haha not bad!

Happy BBQing and Happy SUMMER!!!  whooo hoo it has finally arrived!

My Amazing MasterPiece!

Spinach Lunch wraps!

A friend at work had the best creation for a yummy healthy lunch, I’m so glad she shared this with me! All it consists of is spinach tortillas, deli meat, cheese, cream cheese (I use vegetable garden or chives) and spinach leaves.  Basically pile on as much of the toppings as you want onto the tortilla and roll!  It is insanely delicious and very healthy!  Another plus is one wrap fills me right up!

Healthy Pizza Rolls!

So becoming a new house wife, I figured it is about that time I learn how to cook. I have came across so many online recipes that I would love to try. Here is my first online recipe that I tried! (I decided to start VERY simple:)). These rolls are great for a small dinner, snack, parties etc! ...And I even plugged it into my calorie tracker and turns out these are only 150 calories each!.


To make these rolls, here are the 3 simple ingredients:
Cresent rolls
Pepperoni slices
String Cheese


Simply unroll the dough, Place three pepperonis on the large side and half a string cheese, then just roll it. I wrapped one end over since it was extra dough! Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.


Eat and enjoy! (they also go great with marinara or ranch dip)
