A Plug for Frozen Pizza

Posted in Food and Drink
"Restaurant Taste in Minutes!" boasts the box.

We tend to agree!  This is the best frozen pizza we've found.  Freschetta "PizzAmore" Take-Out Pizza with BAKE AND SERVE TRAY is really worth the $6.  It's much cheaper than ordering from a chain and the bake and serve tray cooks the crust evenly.  It's pre-sliced, too.  Very Yummy!

Another Redneck Recipe: Full O' Baloney

Posted in Food and Drink
I double this recipe; the below is for two people:

1 1/2 cups cubed raw potatoes
1 1/2 cups cubed bologna (1/2 lb.)
2 tbsp. minced green pepper
1 can cream of celery soup
cheddar cheese slices (also works with American)

Heat oven  to 350 degrees.  Mix all ingredients except cheese in a 1 1/2 qt. baking dish.  Bake covered 1 hr. 15 min.  Remove cover; top with cheese.   Broil until bubbly and browned.

These are my husband's favorite leftovers to take to work for lunch.  His co-workers love to make fun of this one!

Blind Bottled Water Taste Test

Posted in Food and Drink
We heard that both of my brothers detested Aquafina bottled water and would refuse to drink it.  So over the weekend we had a "Water Taste Test."  In the competition was Publix Spring, Nestle, Aquafina, Dasani, and Filtered Tap.  Much to our amusement (and their surprise) BOTH brothers ranked the cup with AQUAFINA as their number one favorite!  Amost everyone ranked the filtered tap water at the bottom of the list.  It was a fun excercise, but bad news for us as now I plan to buy more bottled water and drink less from our fridge filter.   :o)

A New Year with CFA

Posted in Food and Drink
Word got out that I wanted Chick-fil-A coupon calendars for Christmas.  Well, I have 13 of them!  That's 13 free CFA chicken sandwiches for the month of January.  That's just over three CFA sandwiches per week.   Thirteen cheers for Chick-fil-A!!

Wonder if I'll still be a fan when this year (or month!) is over . . . .

:o)

Easy Holiday Dessert Recipe

Posted in Food and Drink
"Marbled Chocolate Treats" by Kraft

Prep:  15 minutes!
Total time (with refrigerating): 1 hour, 15 min.

8 1/2 Honey Maid Honey Grahams broken in half (17 squares)

6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

3 oz. white chocolate chips

______________________________

Line 9x13 pan with foil, extending over sides to make handles for lifting from pan.  Arrange grahams on bottom of pan to completely cover the bottom of pan.

Microwave semi-sweet chocolate and peanut butter in bowl on high for 1 1/2 minutes or until completely melted when stirred.  Stir well and spread over grahams to cover completely.

Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in a separate bowl.  Drop spoonfuls of white chocolate over the chocolate-covered grahams.  Immediately cut through with a knife for a tiger-stripe effect.

Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm.  Remove dessert from pan.  Peel off foil.  Cut into bars.  Store tightly covered in fridge.

(I keep a stash in the freezer and eat them from there!)

A Junk Food Junkie Eating Dairy and Egg Free

Posted in Food and Drink
I have to avoid all traces of dairy and egg while I am nursing as my babies have bad reactions when I consume even trace amounts of milk or egg products. A lifelong junk food eater, I have hunted and found several dairy and egg-free, tasty "fast foods" that help me survive the months without my very favorite foods (which seem to all contain either cheese or egg).

______________________________________________________________________________________________

How a Junk Food Junkie Can Survive Eating Dairy and Egg Free:

But always read labels as companies sometimes change the ingredients! 


Lil Buddies soy ice cream sandwiches (found at Kroger)
So(y) Delicious ice cream (found at Kroger)
Vanilla and Chocolate Soy milk
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal
Fruit Loops cereal
Some Publix Greenwise cereals and EnviroKids organic cereals
Mrs. Freshley's Oatmeal Creme Pies
Moon Pies
Junior Mints
After Eight dinner mints
Sam's Choice or Great Value semi-sweet chocolate chips
Thomas cinnamon raisin or blueberry bagels
Honey or Cinnamon Graham crackers
Ore Ida frozen onion rings
Some store brands of frozen fries, tater tots
Tyson breaded frozen chicken patties, chicken strips, fajitas, and some nuggets but not all are safe.
Great value hot dog and hamburger buns
Gwaltney Chicken hot dogs
Publix bakery potato rolls
Publix bakery creme filled twists
Pillsbury artificial Cream Cheese frosting, vanilla and funfetti
Some boxed cake, cookie, and brownie mixes (scan store-brand and Duncan Hines)
Skittles, dum-dums, smarties, nerds candies
Some animal crackers
Some store brand "butter" cookies, striped chocolate cookies and marshmallow chocolate cookies
Some Pop-Tarts (frosted strawberry, brown sugar, cinnamon roll, apple streudel)
Act II popcorn (even some that say "butter" flavored are dairy-free)
Frozen White Castle hamburgers
Mrs. Smith's frozen Deep Dish and Dutch Apple pies
Pepperidge Farms Apple Turnovers

Fleishmann's Unsalted is the best dairy-free margarine for baking
Ener G Egg Replacer (found on Amazon)
Kraft, Sonny's, Famous Dave's, Sticky Fingers BBQ sauces
Chick-fil-A chargrilled chicken (but NOTHING else there except the fries are safe)
Hamburgers from some fast food places if you take off the bun

Oscar Mayer Honey Ham, Honey Turkey
Jennie O. deli turkey from the Walmart Deli (we like Mesquite the best)
Sara Lee deli turkey

Be warned:  Even "non-dairy" whipped topping has dairy!



I also recently found this article online for eating dairy-free:  www.kjsl.com/~beanmom/nomilk.html

And www.amandasown.com has expensive but fun molds of chocolates that are dairy and nut free.

About Me

My faith teaches me that the calling of Christian homemaker, wife, or mother is just as holy as one to "full-time ministry." I am a mom of six children ages eight and under (plus baby number seven on the way) seeking and sharing helpful tidbits learned during this season of life. May we glorify and enjoy Him each day! :o), Moms4Psalms
