Easy Stuffing Meatloaf

I'm all about easy, can you guys tell?

 

This meatloaf is one of our "go to" meals. I scored HUGE bags of stuffing (double the stove top box) for $.50 a bag around Thanksgiving so we're still using it up ;)

 

Easy Stuffing Meatloaf

1 lb lean ground meat (turkey, beef, chicken, whatever you have is fine. We usually do turkey)

1 box stuffing (or 6 oz of another stuffing mix)

1 egg

1 cup water

I added 1 T Worcestershire sauce and Ketchup on top 

 

Mix all ingredients together, shape in a loaf pan and bake a 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes. Done. Its delicious :)

 



Super Fast Pizza Dough and Breadsticks

This dough has NO rise time.  It was so quick, easy, thick and delicious.  We made it for Sunday dinner this week and had the boys over.  I made 3 batches and we had at least one whole batch left over after making bread sticks with some left over dough!

 

 

Super Fast Pizza Dough (slighlty adapted from allrecipes)

3 cups Flour

2 1/2 tsp Active dry yeast (or 1 pkg)

2 T Vegetable or olive oil

1 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp Garlic powder

1 T Sugar

1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine Flour, yeast, salt, sugar, italian seasoning, and garlic powder in kitchenaid mixer with dough hook.  Mix in oil and warm water until dough is formed.  Spread out on pizza pan or cookie sheet.  Top as desired.  Bake for 20-25 minutes. (It was always at least 25 minutes for us).

 

Garlic Parmesan breadsticks

Leftover pizza dough (half a batch made 6 large breadsticks)

olive oil

1 tsp grated parmesan cheese

1/4 tsp italian seasoning

garlic salt

 

Roll dough into 12 thin strips (like playdough snakes!) Twist the strips in pairs. Place on foil lined cookie sheet. Mix olive oil, parm, and italian seasoning.  Spread onto bread sticks.  Sprinkle with Garlic salt. Bake while pizzas are baking, at 375 degrees F, about 10-15 minutes.

Easy Applesauce Pancakes

I made these this morning and they were pretty good and filling!

I doubled the recipe and it made about 30 3-4 inch pancakes that I froze for quick and easy breakfasts for Michael.

 

Easy Applesauce Pancakes (slighlty adapted from FarmGirlGourmet)

1 1/4 c all-purpose flour

1 c whole wheat flour

1 tbsp wheat germ (I didn't have any so I left it out)

1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 1/8 c applesauce (unsweetened)

3 egg whites, lightly beaten until frothy

1 1/2 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk

bananas, chocolate chips, peanut butter etc

 

Mix dry ingredients in kitchenaid bowl. Add wet ingredients and mix well. I used a 1/2 cup measure about half full for each pancake. Add bananas or chocolate chips as mix ins.  We like them with a mix in or with peanut butter, syrup, or applesauce.

Welcome!

I wanted to create this blog so we have a place to share the recipes we love! I am always looking for good recipes to try and have a few tried and true of my own that I'd like to have in an organized space! Feel free to post any kind of recipes, breakfast to dessert, and anything in between.  In order to try and keep them together we can put "labels" on them while creating the post "Dinner" "Lunch" "Breakfast" "snacks" and "dessert." You can also do other words that pertain to your recipe: Chicken, beef, savory, healthy etc. We'll be able to search on the sidebar through our labels so having as many descriptor words as possible will be helpful! I'm excited to get this started, maybe I'll even post a recipe tonight! Can't wait to see what you guys share!
