Hissy Fit Dip

I got invited to a last minute casual get together with my group of friends and needed to come up with something easy.  The last time we all get together I brought a veggie tray and one of my friend's hubby was not happy.  "You always bring something bad for us.  I can always count on you bringing something fat-full. Do NOT bring something healthy again."  It made me laugh and realize I always bring appetizers and they are always something to indulge in.  I enjoy making something new each time and it's always gone when I do.  So this is what I found to bring and everyone loved it.

Hissy Fit Dip
1 lb sausage, browned and crumbled

8 oz cream cheese, softened
16 oz sour cream
8 oz veletta, cubed
1 tsp worchestershire sauce
1 tsp onion salt
1 tsp oregano
1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Mix all together except 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.  Spoon into a 9x9 baking dish and cover with remaining cheese.  Bake uncovered for 1 hour at 350 degrees.  Serve with tortilla chips.

Enjoy the "fat-fullness".

Grilled Veggies

They had a promotion at work to get you eating more fruits and veggies.  You signed up for a small/medium or large bag each week for 6 weeks of fresh fruits and veggies.  We got all kinds of beautiful produce and stuff I had never bought before.  We tried all kinds of new fruits and veggie and it was really good to try new things.  My kids were not too sure about it all but we did OK.

Grilled Veggies

1 Zuchinni
1 Squash
1 pkg mushrooms
1/2 sliced onion
1 red pepper
1 bottle of Italian dressing

Slice veggies and put them in a metal dish that can be placed on your grill.  Shake the dressing well and pour as much of the dressing onto the veggies so they are soaked.  Cover with foil and grill for 10 minutes or until veggies are translucent. 

I had an issue with my grill and threw them in the oven for 15-20 minutes and they were just as good. 

Enjoy!

Pistachio Pudding

My favorite thing to have at Easter is Pistachio Pudding.  My kids don't really like it and my hubby never did.  So when I would make it for myself, I would either eat it all myself or have to throw it out.  I always feel bad heading to my family Easter from out of town and can't bring something.  But this requires no cooking and I could throw it together once I arrived and I wouldn't eat all of it myself.  Its a win-win in my book.


Pistachio Pudding

1can crushed pineapple
1 cup mini marshmellows
1 tub cool whip
1 box pistachio pudding

Mix all the ingredients together and chill 2 hours before serving.  Make sure you mix very well because pineapple tends to sit in the bottom of the bowl. 

Enjoy!

Meatball Sub Sandwiches in Crock Pot

My son LOVES meatball footballs subs from Subway.  They were the featured sub in March and he ate them at least 4 times.  I knew I had to find a way to make some for him.  This was super easy and then I used the left overs to make good old fashioned Spaghetti and Meatballs the next night.  It was a great way to make 2 meals out of one night of cooking.

Meatball Sub Sandwiches

1 bag frozen home style meatballs
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
Package of Sub rolls
Shredded Mozzarella cheese

Place bag of meatballs in crock pot and pour spaghetti over top of meatballs.  Mix to coat.  Set on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.  Fill sub with meatball goodness and sprinkle with as much cheese as you need.  Enjoy!!
