Easy Brownie Cookies with Choco and PB chips

Okay, so if you love brownies and cookies, then this is the cookie for you. 

They turned out so YUMMY. They tasted just like a brownie but with a cookie consistency. My husband absolutely loved them. He basically ate them all. 

I put chocolate chips and reeses peanut butter chips in them. mm

Ingredients:

box of brownie mix

1/2 cup of flour (i used a tiny bit more than that)

6 tablespoons of Canola Oil

2 eggs

2 tbsp of water

1/4 bag of semi sweet choco chips (depending on how many you want in)

1/4 bag of Peanut Butter Chips (i wish i used more of these, they are my current obsession)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl mix together all of the ingredients. 

Then you will place them on a lightly greased cookie sheet. I personally used the I can't Believe its not butter spray, and it worked great. 

It may be a little gooey. 

Then use a spoon and drop the cookie dough on the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. 

Only bake for 9-10 minutes, just until the cookies have just lost their gloss. You don't want to overcook these. 

I like to just place them randomly... i put some a little too close... oops... good thing I wasn't too worried about the presentation!

Wait about 1 minute for them to cool, then enjoy! 

CROCKPOT Spanish Italian Chicken with Rice

I made a delicious chicken, which the recipe was supposed to taste like Cafe Rio's Chicken, which I've never had before (because the pork is too yummy), and I made it a little differently. So I couldn't tell you if it tasted like it or not, but I can tell you that it was great! It was different, but still good enough to eat. We ate it over rice, then as leftovers we had it as salad and also burritos. So many uses!

Ingredients:

2lbs of Chicken Breast (I used the tenderloins and not as much chicken because we have a miniature crockpot)
3/4 bottle of Italian Salad Dressing
1-2 tsp of Minced Garlic
1 packet of Ranch Dressing (dry)
1/2 cup of water
about 1Tbsp chili powder





Place all of the ingredients into the slow cooker on high for 5-6 hrs, or if you keep it on low, have it on about 8 hrs.

This is what it looked like all together. 

After it has cooked for said time, then just shred the chicken. I used two forks to do so. (I also let it cook just a tad bit longer so that the juices are well into the chicken) 

Then serve and enjoy!! 

(don't mind the blurriness, it still was delicious!) 

Easy Springtime White Chocolate Pretzel Bites

who doesn't love an easy, quick springtime treat? Pretty sure my husband and I ate all of these within a couple of hours. oooppsss...

Here is what you need: 

Pretzels- Choose any type you like, the square type are fun, but all I had were the original shape.

Hugs or Kisses

M&M's or Sixlets

Preheat oven to 275 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, pretzels and unwrapped chocolate. (Feel free to eat some as you unwrap, that's half the fun :)

.

Once preheated, place the cookie sheet in the oven for about 3 or 4 minutes.

Gently place M & M's/Sixlets on the soft chocolate and Voila! cute little nests. You can see I left my chocolate in the oven for a tad too long so it was good and melted... this is where the parchment paper came in handy... less clean up! But once it cools the chocolate actually fills the crevices better so my mistake turned out ok i think ;)  

Love the spring colors. :)

Low Sugar, Cool Whip-Pudding Frosting

We love all things sweet and flavorful, so like everyone else we are always looking for ways to cut a few calories, but we aren't willing to give up flavor. We love searching out and modifying our favorite recipes so we can still enjoy the things we love without feeling guilty.

While 'pinteresting', I found a pin that claimed you could mix pudding and cool whip, so I thought I would give it a spin! I modified it a little bit to cut a few more calories, and it turned out amazeballs. Here is what you need:

1 Packet Sugar Free Instant Pudding (I used French Vanilla Great value Walmart Brand) 

1 small Tub (8oz) low fat whipped topping

Milk- 1 cup

Whisk 1 cup milk and pudding together until thick consistency- this should be pretty quick. You will then fold in the cool whip. All done! easy Peasy. I then grabbed a ziplock bag, filled with the frosting about half way, closed the bag, and cut out the corner. I then swirled onto my cupcakes, starting from the outside and making my way toward the inside.. Top with a little bit of sprinkles, and viola! Easiest, Tastiest, low-cal recipe ever.

Once I was done frosting my 24 cupcakes, I had about 1/4 the tub of cool whip left over. So for breakfast yesterday I made German pancakes and we had fruit and the Cool Whip-Pudding to top it off with! Absolutely delicious. ENJOY!

St. Patricks Day Eggs! (healthy)

For St. Patty's day, we decided to treat our husbands to some Green Eggs and Ham (minus the Ham)...
This recipe is so simple and easy, it was just fun to add a little color to them!



What the recipe consisted of: (serves about 4)
-10 egg whites
-1 to 2 Tbsp of Milk
-Shredded cheese
-a couple drops of green food coloring
-salt and pepper to taste

1. beat egg whites and milk in seperate bowl and add 4-5 drops of food coloring like so:

After the eggs are well beaten, spray a little butter into the pan (we used "I can't believe its not butter" 0 calories) on a lower heat, and stir with a wooden spoon to make sure they don't burn and stick to the bottom. 

They look a little freaky, yes

Our Green Mush!

While they are cooking you may add Salt and pepper and some cheese to mix around. 

Then top it off with some cheese to melt on top, and enjoy!! 

YUM!

We like to enjoy our eggs on toast
