Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream


If you like peanut butter in small doses this recipe IS NOT for you. Imagine taking some peanut butter, just adding enough milk to be able to stir it, throw in some Reese's and freeze.  That is pretty much what happened here. I LOVE peanut butter so this was amazing to me!! This recipe is from www.recipegirl.com.

Sweet Successes Guest Cook Jamie...Stuffed Zucchini

While I was home in Maryland I made my sister Jamie make this recipe in case it didn't come out and I could blame her! But it came out great.  I found this recipe while I was pinning my life away on Pinterest. It came from the blog Kayotic Kitchen. The only change we made was that we added a few more tablespoons of sour cream once we had the veggies all mixed together.  It was a little runny so if you added some softened cream cheese in place of a tablespoon or two of sour cream it might thicken it up. Also you might want to precook or grill the zucchini before adding the stuffing and baking.

Strawberry Cookie Tarts

I was blog stalking a month or so ago and found this recipe at Me and My Pink Mixer. I made these cookie tarts while I was home in Maryland and everyone LOVED them.  I think my grandfather loved them the most.  He is diabetic and I think he ate at least 6 along with some ice cream cake.  He was fine, no worries! You just need some cookie dough, sugar, cool whip and cream cheese.  Check out the recipe at Me and My Pink Mixer.

Muffin Tin Pizzas and a Quick Vent

This is a cooking/crafts/sewing etc blog but I am going to take this opportunity to vent for a second.  The job market in my current location is horrible for military spouses.  I called the base and they had one job opening that was located at a base 45 minutes away...ummm no thanks! I have looked online, in newspapers, made phone calls and nada.  I am open to most jobs however I know I would not find joy in working at Lowes, McDonalds, Loves Travel Stop or a cell phone company. And I do not want to substitute teach.  The school year is over but I don't like being the random teacher in the classroom that students think they can take advantage of (though they soon realize that is not an option).  So I have come to the realization that for now I am a housewife.  I guess I better get going on more cooking and craft projects!

I made dinner for the first time in a week or so last night because I was home in Maryland.  When I asked Fly Boy what he wanted he said, "Buffalo chicken pizza!" Of course that is what he wanted but that is not what I wanted! So I decided to make "Muffin Tin Mini Pizzas".  They came out really well.  I made three different kinds so it was a nice variety.

Ingredients:

1 pizza dough (either store bought or homemade)

sauce

toppings

cheese

Cut the pizza dough into 12 small squares and place them into a greased muffin tin. Try to stretch the dough up the sides of the tin a little bit.  Pre bake the dough for 5-7 minutes at about 400 degrees.  Take the pan out of the oven and add your toppings. I layered mine: meat/veggies, sauce then cheese.  Bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

I made buffalo chicken pizzas, broccoli and chicken and salsa and chicken.
