Hey hey y'all! It's been a while! I was busy busy with the move back up north! I got another easy recipe for ya!!

Want a tasty grab and go breakfast? Got picky eaters that love meat? I do lol.
Robert would love these randomly from the bakery in Florida. Normally I would use puff pastry, but I couldn't find it at the store.
2 cans of biscuits
2 packs of the pre cooked brats
Peel your biscuits into two or three layers, and flatten them out the long way.
Wrap a brat in the biscuit, and mold it shut. Be sure it seals!
Pop into the oven @350 for about 12-15 minutes. Turning halfway through.
You'll have a few extra biscuits, just plop em down and cook those too!
Grab, go, enjoy! Or freeze, microwave, grab and go another day!

Gooood Mornin!!! Its almost Friyay! Ive been having some technical difficulties with social media lately, but I wanted to hop on and share with you the kids new favorite drink. Tiktok compares it to a pink drink from starbucks, but Robert insists this is better than theirs lol. These three ingredients, mix and fill your cup with ice, and frozen mixed berries is optional. I found all ingredients at Walmart. The recipes I've seen call for almond milk, or coconut milk, but I seen vanilla oat milk and got excited for that lol.
I hope you enjoy this! And if you try it let me know what ya think!
I've been having a crafters block lately. What's something I should do?

It's been raining forever it seems 🥺. I haven't been able to get out to the yard, so I've been tootling in my craft room.
4/20 is coming...😎

Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a happy Monday! Sorry I haven't been showing many crafts lately! With work picking up, long hours, there's not much time to craft. But one thing I still do is cook everyday!
Tonight we are having cheese tortellini with red sauce! I got so excited to see the tortellini noodles in the freezer, woohoo quick dinner oh yea!
I got the water boiling, the sauce going, and go to the oven to preheat it for garlic bread....checked both freezers, no garlic bread. I didn't realize we were out 😬🤦🏼‍♀️ DOH! Ever had that happen? Well I have a delicious easy way of making your own at home!
Got bread?
Any kind ot doesn't matter. My favorite to use is ciabatta bread, but who ever has that laying around? 😂 So off to the bread drawer to see what I have on deck. Hot dog buns! Perfect! They'll pass for bread sticks and nobody will ever know! Ha!
Preheat oven to 375°
Here's the topping. It is really good. Depending on how many pieces you make will determine how much you will need to mix together. Bear with me here bc I normally don't measure, so I'm guesstimating for y'all. 😁
About 1/3 cup of butter, softened, NOT melted. If it's too melty, you won't get the paste consistency we are going for. I use sq**rt DUKES MAYO, and I added in about 2 big sq**rts.
(If you're not using real mayo, I feel bad for you son, I'm not sure what would happen using that other stuff-miracle whip 🤢)
Less mayo than butter, but enough to mix and be smooth and creamy(probably 2-3 tablespoons). Then I took my tube of garlic paste(found at Aldi) and put a hefty teaspoon of that, and a good shake of garlic powder(measure with your heart), and about a tablespoon of italian seasonings. (You can use minced garlic, chopped garlic cloves, garlic powder or salt, whatever you have on hand. I do not discriminate against garlic! 😋)
Mix that all together mashing with a fork. I normally smell it to see if there's enough flavors going on. If so, next step!
Next take a spatula and shmear that paste-y goodness across them buns. Don't be stingy, lay it on somewhat thick.
Put them on a sprayed pan, shmeared side up. Once you notice the bottoms getting a little brown and crunchy, time to flip! Cook paste side down until it looks toasted and done to your liking. I had to keep checking on mine. These do take about 15 minutes to cook, so don't be impatient! But always keep an eye on them, bc I don't remember the exact time.
Once a little crunchy and toasted, this is the best!
I hope you guys try this sometime! Even if you just want homemade garlic bread, plan this recipe one night on ciabatta bread ;)❤️

Baked ziti!
Think sloppy lasagna! You don't have to make perfect layers to have yummy lasagna!

Preheat oven to 350°.
Cook a box of ziti, set aside.
Mix and mash 1lb hamburger and 1lb mild or hot sausage together. Season with italian seasoning and garlic powder, a little pepper, then brown with half an onion. Drain if needed then return to the pan.
Mix in a 24oz jar of sketti sauce, and a 8oz can of tomato sauce. Stir well.
Mix one cup(maybe a little more) to your box of cooled ziti, mix it in. It won't look like a lot it's just to sauce up the noodles a bit.
Pour half of your noodle mixture into your baking dish.
Top that with ricotta cheese(I only used about half a 15oz container) spread it all over, then 1 cup mozzarella, and 1 cup of sauce(maybe a little more)
Pour the rest of the noodle mixture on top, the rest of the sauce, and top with parmesan cheese and mozzarella. I also sprinkled more italian seasoning on top.
Mixture should be still somewhat warm, so this part won't take long. Pop it into your preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes. Watch until cheese is melted to your liking, and pasta is bubbly.
I did mix in zucchini to half bc I love zucchini in red sauce. You can add veggies or have them on the side.
This dinner is even better as leftovers! ❤️ Enjoy my friends! Have a wonderful day!

Happy Sunday everyone!!!

Are you ever walking through a store and see a cute sign, or home decor and fall in love then look at the price and go...😬 no thanks?

Id love to make them for you!! They may not be exact, but they'll definitely be custom and made with love!

Next time you're out, take a pic of something you've been eyeing but that price just won't come down. Send it to me and let's make a deal!! I love recreating things! And I love a challenge. :)

I'm working on a sign for the living room now...when it's complete I'll post it in the comments. :)

Here is a shadow box I recently made for an order.

Ok you guys asked, and shall receive. Im going to start posting my easy cheap recipes here for you all to enjoy!

Today we will start with my version of applebees wonton tacos. Tonight I didnt add chicken, but i did add into the recipe how you can 👍👊

Preheat oven to 375 or 400 pending how hot your oven is.
Turn muffin pan upside down, spray with non stick spray.
To make taco shaped wontons, take the wonton wrappers and place between muffin cups. Pop in oven for 4-5 minutes. Be careful, they go from looking meh to OMG THEYRE BURNT 🤣
For the filling, take a bag of the Asian salad mix from Walmart
DO NOT use the whole bag of mix to the toppings/dressing, you want it to be juicy. If youre adding cooked diced chicken, I suggest it cold, dice it small, and mix with the dressing that comes with the salad mix to coat it FIRST, THEN add in about 3/4s of the lettuce mix. Stir well.
Spoon into done shells and viola my version of those delicious wonton tacos from Applebee's they only give you FOUR of 😒 for a fraction of the price
