Easy Pizza burgers

So yes it has been awhile but here is a tasty recipe.

Well I was going to make regular pizza but after seeing what was left of the pepperoni (thanks kids). So I was thinking of something else to use it for and I realized we still had a big box of premade hamburger patties left from a mother's day BBQ we had. 

So my easy pizza burgers were born.These are so stinking easy and so very good. All you need is premade hamburger patties, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce and buns.

Cook your burgers and season with salt,pepper and whatever else you would like. I used onion powder and garlic powder. Once cooked fully top with mozzarella and pepperoni. To melt the cheese and cook the pepperoni a bit I put the pan in a 425° oven for like 5 minutes.

Before oven

After

Then I toasted the buns slightly and topped them with the pizza sauce.

Add as much sauce as you like my husband likes a really wet burger so he got lot of sauce. Then you add your burger with cheese and pepperoni add you are ready to nom.

You can obviously go with whatever side you want we picked fries. And that is it super easy no traditional recipe needed.

Well I really hope you all enjoyed this easy dinner idea. I've really missed this blog I will definitely be posting more soon.

Bye bye for now,

Banana Muffins

I don't have many of my grandmas recipes but the few I do have I cherish. Before my gran pasted my sister stayed with her and in that time they came up with this super yummy banana muffin recipe. And it is my honor to share it with all you fine folks.

With 3 kids one of which is in school muffins are a great quick breakfast that I can make the day before. I always double my muffins so we have enough for a couple mornings.

Gather all of your ingredients and tools you will need. 

Mash up bananas and add melted butter,sugar and eggs

Ok so I forgot the eggs since I was wrangling my 3 year old of the kitchen but i added them in along with the flour, baking power,soda and salt

The batter all ready to go in to the nice warm oven preheating at 350

After 25 minutes they are all done and looking super yummy. The kiddos couldn't wait for them to cool.

Rebecca's peach dump cake

So it has been awhile since we posted but life and family happen but we are back with this tasty treat.

When we first moved out I didn't have a lot of kitchen experience.... ok ok ok I had no kitchen experience. So I had a lot of wonderful people helping me with easy recipes that I could follow and that would taste wonderful. 

Our friend Rebecca gave me this one and it is so good and so super easy. Now you can make the cake and then pour it over the peaches but this is how I did it and how the recipe says to do it.

You need a 9x13 cake pan, 2 can of peaches, a yellow cake mix, butter and cinnamon  

Dump both cans of peaches in pan

Pour the cake mix over the top and pat it down

Dot the top with the butter

Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake.

Remove form oven top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and enjoy warm.

Like I said you can mix up the cake like it says on the box then pour it over the peaches and bake. That will give you a less dry/cobbler cake and more of a peach cake. Ether way is absolutely delicious. You can also use whatever fruit you like.

Recipe

2 (16 ounce) cans peaches in heavy syrup
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Empty peaches into the bottom of one 9x13 inch pan. Cover with the dry cake mix and press down firmly. Cut butter into small pieces and place on top of cake mix. Sprinkle top with cinnamon.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 45 minutes.

Homemade White castle

Here in California we can only get White castle in the freezer alse. So after searching the internet and tring a couple different ones this is what I came up with.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried onion flakes*
2 pounds ground chuck- 80/20 ground beef
1/2 t. seasoned salt*
6 slices cheddar cheese or american cheese slices
12- small party rolls**

*you can use onion soup mix instead
**you can use Hawaiian sweet rolls 

Directions:
Evenly spread the onions on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Gently press the ground beef on top of the onion flakes. Press evenly making one giant patty.
Sprinkle with seasoned salt. At this point you can use a drinking straw and poke holes throughout the meat. That is what they do with the original white castle sliders.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Using a paper towel, pat the excess grease from the top of the patty.
Top with cheddar cheese, return to oven for 2 more minutes.  Remove from oven, let set 5 minutes then cut into patties.
Slice open and separate each party roll. Place bottom of rolls on a large platter. Using a spatula lift pattie with onion layer onto each bun bottom.
 Top each slider with a pickle slice then the bun lid. Serve immediately. Makes 12- 15 sliders depending on how big you cut them.

Lays do us a flavor review

Well folks it is that time again to vote for your favorite new flavor of chip.

And us here on stick it in your face hole are up for the challenge of trying them all for you fine people out there. So we picked up all 4 flavors to taste and see which one we liked best.

Let's start this review with the one we liked the least, and that would be Mango Salsa. Now if it was labeled as just a mango chip it would be amazing but a mango salsa I think not. You can really really taste the mango and that is pretty much it. Like my husband said in his mustard review we aren't big fans of mango so if you are then you might like this chip. Now I am sure we would like this chip if it had more of a salsa taste or if we used it with salsa, but we shouldn't have to dip it to get the flavor it is claiming to have.

Now next in line is Cheddar Bacon Mac and cheese. Don't get me wrong these are good there not great but they are damn good. Its just they are nothing new in our opinion they taste just like you would think, they have a smokey bacon flavor and they are covered in cheese. But they are just kind of basic but still good.

Next up is the Cappuccino flavor. I know what you are thinking "Omg no way so gross!" But I am hear to tell you these bad boys are good if you ask me but if you ask my husband then no no there not. Now I know this sounds weird but they taste how Starbucks smells all coffee like and kind of cinnamon with a hint of sugar, kind of like churros but with a slight salty undertone. I can see myself and maybe some of you out there crumbling some over a bowl of vanilla ice cream and chowing down.

  

Last but certainly not least the Wasabi Ginger. Ah these are just so very very good I couldn't stop eating these while we were testing all the chips. My husband and I can both agree these are by far the best out of the whole bunch. You get this bite from the ginger and then this slight heat from the wasabi that isn't over whelming, unless you eat the whole bag in one setting which in all honestly it totally doable. Don't get me wrong you would feel like crap for eating a whole bag of chips, but omg are they worth it. These are the ones we are voting for a 100%.

So are you guys going to try any of the new flavors? If so which one are you looking forward to trying? If you have tried any of the new flavors then tells us in the comments which one you tried and how you liked it.

But that's all for now I hope you all enjoyed this post and we will talk to you soon.

Foodspin Chicken salad

I love chicken salad my husband not so much he will eat it sometimes but he is not a big fan. I also am very guilty of using either leftover chicken or... gasp canned chicken!

So when my husband came across this article on deadspin.com he showed it to me and I just knew we had to try it.There aren't exact measurements so I just eyeballed most of it and we live in an apartment so grilling wasn't going to work but I did pull out my George Foreman grill and it worked wonderfully.

I started with my boneless skinless chicken thighs and I put them in a ziplock bag then I added the seasonings.

Bag,oil, salt, paprika (smoked or sweet) and cumin. Equal parts of all 3 and enough oil to coat.

Once the grill was heated and the chicken was good and seasoned I placed the chicken on the grill.

It didn't take very long since the GF grill cooks both sides at once. When they were fully cooked we put the chicken in a bowl while we got the rest of the ingredients ready.

 To lighten it up a bit I used low fat mayo and light sour cream. My husband couldn't fine chives so he got dried and I didn't have parsley so I use oregano also dried. We cut everything up and tossed them into the bowl.

We mixed it all together and tasted it and wowza it was so damn good. I am never going back to my old way of chicken salad making.

 I really liked it but my husband thought it needed a little something so we added a dill pickle and a dash or two of chili powder.

 And you know what that was pretty damn good too.

I had some on a toasted everything bagel the next day and after sitting all night the chili powder and pickle were a bit overwhelming, but the bagel kind of evened it out a little.

So over all I 100% love this chicken salad and will making this again. 

1-2 lbs boneless,skinless chicken thighs

A pinch of salt, paprika (smoked or sweet) and cumin

oil

mayo 

sour cream

celery 1 stalk for every pound of chicken

scallions

chives

parsley

While grill is heating season chicken. Cook chicken for about 5 to 10 minutes then let cool. As its cooling chop up your veggies then once the chicken is cooled enough to handle chop that up too. Toss everything into a blow and add mayo and scour cream mix up and then pop a lid or foil over the top and let is set for 30 minutes or overnight. Serve on bread ,in a lettuce wrap or dig in with crackers its up to you.

I hope you all enjoy this post. What is your favorite chicken salad recipe? Let us know in the comments below.
