Veggie Muffins

I posted a picture today on IG (whitney_collins1) of my new attempt to get Berkley to eat more veggies. 

Veggie Bites

• 1 bag frozen broccoli & cauliflower, steamed & chopped
• 1/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 2/3 cup shredded cheddar
• 2 eggs

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix chopped veggies, bread crumbs, cheese & eggs together until moist and able to form.

Using either a small cookie scoop and place mixture into a mini muffin pan. Cook for approx 10-15min.

Friendsgiving Recipe

Today I tried a trial run of sausage and cheese phyllo cups. My cousin has made them every year for Christmas and I normally eat my wait in them!  

Let's just say that I am disappointed that I will not need to make these again because they were fantastic. Here's the recipe

Preheat oven to 350

1 pack of ground sausage
16 oz cream cheese 
Parmesan cheese
diced jalapeno 
mini phyllo cups

1.  Brown sausage and jalapenos 
2.  Add cream cheese, stir until incorporated
3. sprinkle is desired amount of parm. I would say I used 1/2 cup
4. Scoop mixture into cups
5. Bake for 3-4 minutes



As you can see I am not much of a recipe or correct measurements kind of cooker....use your best judgement. This recipe will also be for kids so I didn't add much jalapeno to it, just enough to give it some flavor.

Hey Good Lookin...What Ya Got Cookin?

Happy 1st day of Fall!! I was beyond excited to start my fall cooking this week, until I checked the weather. 80 degrees all week...really?!?! Oh well, God knows what he's doing so I can't fuss!  Here's our weekly menu for this week

I love this weekly meal template! I can't remember where I found it but there are a couple over at Tip Junkie. Is anyone else have such a difficult meal planning with this crazy weather? It's September, I want to use my slow cooker....It's 80 degrees, Ben wants to grill!
