I would love to hear from you and find out how you are enjoying these recipes. I always try them first before putting them on so your family doesn't have to be the guinuea pigs. I also enjoy cooking stuff that is easy never fear, even the beginner can do it. One thing that I love doing is freezer meals, they save so much time. You just take an afternoon and make a few dinners and then freeze, Tada you have dinner for your busy nights. Here is another tip, if it's something your family loves make double and freeze for a busy night. Alot of recipes can be adapted for freezing.

Pesto Pizza

My twins are anti red sauce right now. Pizza and spaghetti they cringe at. So my friend Wynette gave me this yummy recipe.

Pesto Pizza
1 Homemade pizza crust
Pesto Sauce
chopped zucchini, red onion, spinach leaves, mushrooms (you can add or sub from this list of course)
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Feta Cheese

Prepare your pizza crust, roll onto pan. add about 4 Tbsp of pesto sauce. smooth over pizza crust until covered. Spread a small layer of mozzarella cheese over it. Then top with veggies. Now you can load up on your mozzarella cheese (this way it hides some of the veggies from the kids). Bake according to your pizza crust recipe. After you pull it out of the oven sprinkle Feta Cheese over it.

I wish I had taken a picture of it. It was to die for, both looks and taste. Best thing was my girls loved it.

Chocolate Chip Graham Bars

I've been posting alot of new recipes lately. The reason is I am working on cleaning out piles of recipes I have clipped out of magazines over the years. I am trying at least one new dinner and one treat recipe a week, if I like them I keep it and if not in the garbage it goes. I have had a few that I am just not fond of.

Chocolate Chip Graham Bars
3/4 cup softened butter (no subtitutes)
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 c crushed golden grahams cereal
3/4 c plus 2 tbsp quick-cooking oats, divided
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup salted chopped peanuts, divided
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided

In large bowl cream butter and sugars. add eggs, one at a time, beat well. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, cereal, 3/4 cup oats, baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in 3/4 cup peanuts and 2/3 cup chocolate chips.

Spread into a greased 13 x 9 pan. Sprinkle remaining peanuts, oats and chips (I added a few more chips and loved it) Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
