Pepperoni Pizza Bites

After school or after work snacks are sometimes very hard to decide on what to make, right?

I often find my son with a bag of chips or a bag of  Top Ramen as his snack and even though we have a ton of fruit and other delicious looking treats in the house they all seam to reach for the convenience foods.

Well I found a treat that is delicious, easy to make, and one that I always have all the ingredients for on hand.

I follow several blog and get emails of their daily posts and one of my favorites is The Slow Roasted Italian.

They always have the tastiest looking recipes sitting in my inbox!  The other day I found this recipe for Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Puffs and knew I had to try them out.

Apple Crisp

I grew up in a family of definite bakers from my grandmother on my Mom's side to my Mom and Aunt. Thankfully this treasure of being able to bake was also passed down to my brother and me.

I love Fall and all it encompasses, the colors, the smells, the flavors all warm my heart this time of year.

I especially love apples.  I love to make Homemade Apple Sauce, Apple Pie, and my Oatmeal Caramel Apple Pie Bars, but I think my favorite is Apple Crisp.

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I'm always trying to come up with new and inventive ways to make muffins. Plus I always need new ways to use up the bananas other than banana bread.

I could easily eat muffins for breakfast every day.  How about you?  Do you like muffins?

They're kinda like naked cupcakes, lol.

Soft Buttery Dinner Rolls

I love bread!  There, I'm out of the closet!  Actually I really think I'm a carboholic, shhhhh.

I even love making homemade bread.  The whole process is amazing and the way the house smells while is rising and baking, oh my!

I have lots of bread recipes pinned to my Pinterest boards, don't you?

I even have a recipe for Parker House Rolls that I've made for a few years now that came from Alex Guarnaschelli from Food Network and they are amazing.

But these, sigh, these rolls that I slightly adapted from Cooking Classy have been calling my name since I pinned them a while back.

Root Beer Float Cupcakes

My hubby loves root beer and root beer floats so for his birthday this year I decided to try something new and make root beer float cupcakes.

It was one of those recipes that I can't believe actually worked out and the cupcakes really did taste like root beer floats!

I bought some of those flavored oils from the candy making / baking section of JoAnns or Michael's and one of the flavors was root beer.

Chicken Enchilada Soup

I love soup!

I actually eat it all year long, but I especially love soup in the Fall and Winter.

It has turned cold here in California in the last few weeks, well at least cold in the morning and evenings.  The days are still crazy.

But it's definitely soup weather to me!

My daughter and I have been craving some sort of Chicken Tortilla or Chicken Enchilada Soup so this is the one I came up with the other day.

Italian Sub Sandwich

You've probably heard me talk about the lunch situation around here and the fact that I have a hubby that works from home, a daughter getting ready for boot camp in 4 weeks, and a son who is on independent study and they are all home for lunch every day.

I try to come up with different things to make so we don't get bored from the same old sandwiches or burger joints. 

We love Quiznos and their toasty sandwiches but they have moved from the area so I came up with an alternative to make at home.
