Poor Man's Pizza

Ingredients:

• 20 Pieces Pepperoni (Approximately of course)

• 1/2 Cup Pizza Quick Snack Sauce

• 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

• 1/4 Cup of Shredded Cheddar

• 1 Can Jumbo Refrigerated Biscuits (Usually 6 Biscuits)

Preparation!

1. In a greased cast-iron skillet, lay the biscuits in a single layer in the bottom of the pan. (Leave a little space for the biscuits to expand during cooking. They will form a solid crust as it bakes.)

2. Spread pizza sauce over the top of the biscuits. 
Add your cheeses next. I usually cover it with mozzarella with a dash of cheddar on top.  

3. Place your pepperoni however you like on top of the cheese. Trust me, it will taste the same no matter what pattern you make out of it. 

4. Bake in the oven at 400 F for around 20 minutes or until the cheese has started to bubble. Really depends on how done ya like it! 

5. Serve it up, or eat it alone on the couch while watching the perilous journey of Dr. McDreamy on Grey's Anatomy. Your choice.

The Nature of Girls

The Nature of Girls

Ever notice the eternal need for some females to be the best at everything? Some girls always have to be right, always have to win the fight, always have to be the prettiest, the loudest, etc.... Before I had children, I always thought this was something that was taught...or an insane mental disposition. I thought this way, because I never thought I was one of THOSE creatures. How wrong I was. Having a house full of girls has shown me I passed on a lot more of these traits than I would care to admit. Sometimes they're obvious, but sometimes they show themselves in different ways.

For Example:

1. Bragging: comes naturally.

2. Hair: is in fact the first appendage in the line of fire of a physical confrontation. 

3. Tears: can be used to garner influence and power(or to make Mommy do things she doesn't want to do).

4. Clothes: are forever possessions of the first warm body that they come in contact with.

5. Drooling: is always done"on purpose", because they just like their hair that way.

6. Bugs: "I'm not scared of it, I just feel like running right now."

7. Vigilance: When it takes 20 minutes to explain the sequence of events that lead up to what we didn’t do today, your lack of interest is not an option.

8. Loudness: is equal to correctness. 

Quick N' Cheesy Calzones!

  This recipe makes 8 calzones. You can adjust the recipe to make as many as you like. Two of these are usually plenty for me! This is a fast fix for dinner an as easy as it gets. This has made it into our regular dinner rotation. Enjoy!

-2 canned refrigerated pizza crusts
    (Found with canned biscuits in store)

- 1/4 cup real bacon bits (optional)

- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
    (Optional, but I recommend if you use bacon bits)      
                       
-16 slices of pepperoni

- 1/8 cup of Parmesan

-  Emeril's™ BAM! Original Essence

- Ragu original Pizza Quick Snack Sauce, (Make sure it's Pizza Quick, not the original Pizza sauce!)
               
1. Open each crust and flatten, still keeping it in the rectangle shape. Cut into 4 even regtangle peices.

2. Spread Pizza Quick (or preferred pizza sauce) in the middle of each crust leaving 1 inch of outer edges uncovered.
3. Add cheddar, and mozzarella on top of sauce, then bacon bits, and lastly pepperoni.

4. Fold short side in then the long sides of the crust encasing your ingredients inside the calzone. Flip over.

5. Sprinkle tops with  Emeril's™ BAM! Original Essence seasoning and Parmesan.

6. Bake for 20 min or until tops are golden brown at 400°F.

   (Make sure it's Pizza Quick, not the original Pizza sauce!)

*Quick tips: If you are on a budget like we are there is always the Walmart Great Value brand for all ingredients. Although, we usually spend the extra pennies on Ragu Pizza Quick Sauce and Emeril's seasoning.
