Just had to share...

these cute "MINI" pepperoni pizza toppings that I found at Wal-mart! I love "mini" food and so when I saw these I had to grab 'em and make some homemade pizza!

Served a green salad and added a few more "mini" pepperonis to the
salad and it was a yummy meal!!

Blueberry Cream Pie

This is the same recipe as the Strawberry Cream Pie listed a few posts below! Halle has been bugging me about buying blueberries every time we go to the store...so when we were in Sam's today they had a huge container so we picked one up and made a cheese cake with them! It was yummy! The glazed I used is one that John's mom taught me using a package of Kool-Aid! It listed in the "labels" column under "sauces". It's really simple and can be used for alot of different berries and pies!

White Castle-like Sliders

These were a HUGE hit! So simple to make! I don't think I'll make hamburgers the old way after makin' these! The girls loved that they were just their size and the boys loved they were like two-bite size! John really enjoyed them and gave me the thumbs up!! The recipe and pictures come from the Big Red Kitchen! Go visit her blog to see more step by step pictures. She has tons of great recipes!!

½ c. dried onion flakes
2 lbs. ground round ~ use at least an 80/20 so the juices can rehydrate the onions
½ t. season salt {I also added a little steak seasoning}
6 slices cheddar cheese
24 small party rolls {I used King's Hawaiian usually found by the deli}
24 dill pickle slices
Evenly spread onion on the bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish. Gently press hamburger evenly and gently over onions. Sprinkle with season salt. Bake in a 400º oven for 25 minutes ~ the beef will shrink. Using a paper towel, blot excess grease from top of patties, top with cheddar cheese {I used pepper jack on John's} and return to oven for 2 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes then cut into 24 patties. Cut rolls and top with patty and a pickle slice. Serve immediately! I served these with a side of ketchup for dipping and fries! Aren't these the cutest thing you've ever seen!

Paprika Chicken w/ Sour Cream Gravy

This comes from the Campbell Soup website. And as always I'll double this recipe to have leftovers.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup butter
1 can Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
2 green onions, sliced (about 1/4 cup)
1 container (8 ounces) sour cream
Directions:
Stir the flour, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and red pepper on a plate. Coat the chicken with the paprika mixture. Heat the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 10 minutes or until it's well browned on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Stir the soup and green onions in the skillet and heat to a boil. Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the sour cream.
We had green beans, jello, and rolls. It was a good Sunday meal.

Strawberry Cream Pie

This recipe and picture come from Jonna at "Get Off Your Butt & Bake". It was so easy and yummy. My family just gobbled it all up!!

Graham cracker crust: ~ {you could also use a pre-made crust}.
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (1 pkg crushed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
5 Tablespoons melted margarine or butter
Mix above ingredients together. Using the back of a large spoon, press crumb mixture firmly on bottom and up sides of a 9 inch pie plate. Bake crust at 350 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes, or until light golden brown. Cool then fill.
Cream Mixture:
1 small pkg Cream Cheese (3 1/2 oz.)
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1 cup Cool Whip (I buy a small cool whip, you will use the rest for the top of pie) ~ {I doubled the recipe so I had a really full pie}
Beat cream cheese with hand mixer, until smooth. Blend in Powdered sugar until smooth. Blend in the cool Whip. Fill Cooled Pie shell with Cream Mixture on bottom and almost to the top of crumb shell. Refrigerate while preparing berry mixture.
For the strawberry topping I just used cleaned and sliced strawberries and added it to the pre-made danish dessert mix, usually found over in the produce by the strawberries, but you can also use the Danish Dessert mix in the box ~ just prepare as directed on the back of the box.
