Pull-Apart Pizza Bites

I found this great recipe on Pinterest for pull apart cheese bites.  You use pizza dough and wrap it around a piece of string cheese.  I don't usually have refrigerated pizza dough, so I used the recipe out of the book How to Cook Everything. My kids eat all the string cheese so I cut a block of mozzarella into little cubes.  I went one step further and wrapped a couple of pieces of pepperoni in with it too. Then you brush some egg wash over it.  Bake at 450 for about 25 minutes or until it looks like this picture.  Then in some melted butter I added some parmesan, Italian Seasoning and Garlic Salt.  When they are done cooking you brush the butter mixture over the top.  You can dip them in some marinara (pasta) sauce premade.  Or I resorted to using a can of tomato sauce, some garlic salt, and Italian Seasoning again.



We all came down with a nasty bug.  So we are trying to rest and get our fluids.  First it was the Oldest and me on Sunday. Then yesterday afterschool the Middle came down with the fever.  Then early this morning the Youngest had it.  Hubby has a sore throat.  Hopefully, he doesn't get any worse than that.  Yesterday he came home from work with a cut  at his hairline.  He didn't tell me exactly how it happened, but he's had something similar happen and knows I hate it when he doesn't call me first and warn me something happened.  

On Sunday, we also lost a dear family friend who has been battling brain cancer for a very long time. We won't be able to go to his funeral which is kind of sad.  With the three little kids and most of us sick, it would be a nightmare.  So we are kind of trudging through this week.  I'm just trying to make sure that the house doesn't fall into utter disaster.  It's gets there mind-bogglingly fast when Mom is out for the count.

Repair Job

We are feeling quite a bit better around here.  A few sniffles left, and hubby caught the sore throat, but the rest of us are well. We are having a lot of weather again.  Today, I shoveled about 6 inches of snow with big drifts in a lot of areas.  Right now it is raining.  On top of snow, that is just nasty.  Most likely it will freeze and become a big, icy mess.  We are expecting avalanches tonight along hubby's route to work.  So it is going to be interesting in the morning to see what happens.  He leaves super early. Before the plows are usually out.  Maybe the highway department will be proactive.  I don't know. Tuesday I had a Dr. appointment late in the afternoon an hour away from home.  I had my dad drive me.  So while I was waiting I did some repair work on one of my gloves that was falling apart.  It is a knit glove with leather stitched on to the palm and fingers.  This was a pain to work on. Some of the ...

Doing Some Cooking

The weather here has still been off and on snowing and blowing.  Last Friday, they closed down hubby's route to work due to an avalanche.  He had to make up the work on Saturday.  So it has been a long and crazy week for him. The Oldest had a four day weekend because of President's Day.  So it feels like it should be Friday for me today. I usually cook a lot of different things, but lately I'm documenting it more for this blog.  Here goes: We had some blueberries that were starting to go bad.  So I made some Blueberry Cheesecake.  Usually, I prefer the no-bake kind, but this recipe was so easy and tasted really good, that I might just do it this way from now on. Cooking the blueberries to make sauce. I don't have a cheesecake pan, so I used pie plates. We recently bought an air fryer so I have been trying out recipes for it. Here we have the makings of chicken tenders.  Chicken coated with flour.  M...
