Creamy Cheesy Veggie Puffs & a giveaway!

October 30, 2012 by Tiffany

My youngest daughter and I made these for lunch one day. They’re quick to make and a scrumptious way to eat veggies.

They’re out of this world. No really, they are. See the martian below.

Isn’t it cute? And surprisingly tasty for an extraterrestrial.

I will be making these again sometime. The cheese along with the biscuit dough reminded me of a warm version of veggie pizza. Only puff shaped.

The short cut ingredient in this recipe is Birds Eye Steamfresh veggies. They cook in their own bag in the microwave. No chopping or extra dish washing required. This makes it perfect for cooking with kids.

Eat more fruits and veggies challenge (and Ebates Savvy Living Live Chat)

April 12, 2012 by Tiffany

I find it hard to eat the RDA of fruits and veggies. It requires a real effort for me to even come close to the amounts recommended. And once I stop thinking about it, I fall back into bad patterns.

Getting the kids to eat fresh fruits and veggies is even harder.

Lately, I’ve been trying to do better and most days, I manage to meet the goal. Here are a few things that have been working for me: [Read more...]

Ranch Veggie Salad

January 5, 2012 by Tiffany

My mom served this at Christmas time. It was so good, I made it again the next week.

It’s also super simple. Chop veggies. Stir in Marzetti’s ranch dip. The end.

This salad holds up in the fridge really well for several days. Even the tomatoes stay perky instead of doing that limp, soggy thing that cut tomatoes can do.

Here’s the recipe, but feel free to vary it for what you like and have available. [Read more...]

Chicken Pot Pie

November 12, 2008 by Tiffany

Comfort food at its best!

Gather up:

cooked chicken
can of chicken broth
can of cream of chicken soup (or celery soup)
bag of frozen stew vegetables
pre-made pie crust (one day I’ll give the recipe for my homemade crust, but I was too lazy to do it this time)

Pour the frozen vegetables over the top of the chicken that you’ve placed in the bottom of the casserole dish. No need to thaw the veggies. You can also use canned mixed veggies, but I prefer the frozen kind. I’m a sucker for those little pearl onions.

Mix the broth and cream of chicken soup. Add pepper. I like a generous sprinkle of pepper. Pour this mixture over the top of the veggies and chicken.

Unfold the crust and spread it out over the casserole dish. I know a round crust doesn’t fit a rectangle dish, but it’s ok. I just trimmed up the edges and placed them in the corners, so as not to leave them naked. I always have an urge to express myself on pie crust. You have to vent it, right? Get out your knife and draw a design in the dough (I chose leafless trees) or you can be boring and just cut in a few slits.
