Chocolate Ice Cream Sauce

I have been MIA for a week or so because I had misplaced my camera. I have found it and I have been busy in the kitchen all day. Here is my first small post on a lovely chocolate ice cream sauce I threw together for my kiddos to munch on. It takes just about 5 minutes to make and its amazingly good.

First melt 1/2 stick of butter in a small saucepan on medium heat, make sure not to burn the butter.

Then add roughly 1/3 cup of chocolate chips, stir with a whisk until melted careful not to burn the chocolate chips.

 Remove the pan from the burner and add 1/4 of milk and 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

Also add 1 cup of powdered sugar to this mixture and stir until all lumps are gone.

 Let cool for about 1 - 2 minutes and then pour over vanilla ice cream or whichever flavor you choose.

~Enjoy!~

Quick Bacon Sammy

I was looking for a quick lunch today that I could make while I was chopping up ingredients to put in the slow cooker for dinner tonight. Here is what I came up with and it's super easy!

2 slices of bacon, turkey or regular
2 slices of tomato
1 tsp mayo
1 bagel, I used everything flavor
Sprinkle of salt on the tomato slices, if desired and to taste

I used my toaster oven for all the cooking involved in this sandwich. 

First I took the baking pan in my toaster oven and put a sheet of foil on it for easy clean up. I then put the 2 slices of bacon on it and baked them for 10 mins in the toaster oven. When they were all crispy I took them out to drain on a paper towel. I then put the bagel in the toaster oven and toasted it on medium dark. While it was toasting I sliced up the tomato and sprinkled a small amount of salt on the slices. When the bagel was finished toasting I spread on the mayo and layered the tomato, then the bacon, then another slice of tomato. Simple and amazing. Not really diet friendly but very time friendly. Enjoy~!

Baked Zucchini Bites

Every wonder what you can make as a quick healthy side dish that your kids will love? I made just the perfect recipe tonight. My garden has been putting out some good sized zucchini for about a week and I am trying to incorporate it more into my daily menu. This recipe is quick and delicious!

First here is what you need: shredded Romano cheese about 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup depending on taste,  2 medium zucchinis, garlic salt, canola oil spray or olive oil spray and fresh ground black peppercorn.

Cut the zucchini into wedges about 3 inches in in length and 2 inches in width. Spray a baking pan with the oil and arrange zucchini on the pan. Spray the tops of the zucchini with the oil then sprinkle on the pepper, garlic salt and Romano cheese to your liking.

Bake at 400F for 15 mins.

Then ENJOY! My 4 and 5 year old's loved this as a side dish for dinner tonight.
