Open wide

This past week we started giving Mason baby food. So far he's had peas, squash, bananas and apples. Squash is his favorite so far. He's slowly getting the hang of it and makes less mess each time.  He only has one "meal" a day for now. He has his 6 month check up tomorrow so I'll update more after that.





Veggie Pizza

I've had this recipe in my recipe box for a long time. I've had veggie pizza before, but I've never actually made it until now. 

2 tubes crescent rolls
16 oz light cream cheese
1 package ranch dressing powder
1 cup mayonnaise
veggies
mozzarella cheese



Unroll crescent dough and preheat oven according to package directions. Place in a cookie sheet. Press perforations to make solid. Bake according to package directions.  


Mix cream cheese, ranch, and mayo. 


Spread on cooled crescent rolls.


Chop veggies.


Spread veggies and cheese evenly over top.  Slice into squares before serving.


We all loved it! But, we are horrible at eating left overs so half of it didn't even get eaten. Like some previous recipes, next time I will only make a half size so it's not wasted.

Crockpot Chicken & Stuffing

I found this recipe on Pinterest.  Decided to give it a try because what's not to like. Chicken-good, stuffing- really good!

4 thawed chicken breasts
6oz. package of Stove Top stuffing mix
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup water


Place chicken in crock pot.




 Cover with dry stuffing. 




Mix sour cream, cream of chicken and water in small bowl. 




Pour over chicken and stuffing. 




Cook on low for 4 hours. Fluff and serve. 




 It was pretty good. I honestly didn't care for the stuffing since it was pretty soggy. Mike took one bite and fell in love!

Cheese Chicken Quesadillas

I'm not sure where I found this recipe. I've only made it once before about 4 years ago, but it's good enough that I decided to make it again.

Cheese Chicken Quesadillas

1 can condensed cream of chicken or mushroom soup
1 1/2 cup chopped cooked chicken
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 flour tortilla shells


In small bowl combine soup, chicken, 1/2 cheese. Top half of each tortilla with 1/4 cup soup mix spreading evenly to within 1/2 inch of edge. Moisten edges with water. Fold over pressing edges to seal. Arrange on cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with remaining cheese (I do this before cooking)


Very quick and inexpensive meal.
