Happy Easter

Tender & Juicy Crock Pot Roast

1 "chuck" roast
1/2 cup water
1 pkg. onion-mushroom soup mix (dry)

Pour water into your crock pot, then add the roast.
Sprinkle dry soup mix over roast and cover and cook
on high for 1 hour and on low for at least 7 hours. 

This roast comes out so tender and juicy, and leftovers are great for sandwiches. 

Nilla Pudding Bites

1 box prepared vanilla or banana pudding
Vanilla wafers
sliced bananas

Place some vanilla wafers with flat side up on a plate.  Top with a spoonful of pudding, add a sliced banana, then top with another vanilla wafer, flat side down. 
Make as many as you can eat, they're bite size and great for everyone to enjoy!

**You could also substitute the pudding for strawberry and add strawberry slices. 
**Make Nutella bites by adding some Nutella instead of pudding and then a banana or strawberry and top with another wafer. 

Nutella Quesadillas

1 fajita size flour tortilla
Nutella
mini marshmallows

Spread Nutella on one side of a flour tortilla, then top with a few mini
marshmallows.  Fold tortilla over and heat in a skillet on both sides until
lightly browned and the filling is starting to melt.  Remove from skillet
and put on a plate.  Slice in half and sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with a sliced banana and strawberry.  Enjoy!

Easy & Healthy Egg in a Mug

1/2 cup egg beaters
1 teaspoon chopped veggies such as bell peppers & onions
1 teaspoon bacon bits (optional)
1 teaspoon diced ham (optional)
2 teaspoons shredded cheese (fat free if you like)
salsa

1/2 cup egg beaters = 2 large eggs

In a mug, add chopped veggies and microwave about 1 minute, or until tender, (if there's any moisture, take a paper towel and try to wipe out as much of it as you can.)  Then add 1/2 cup egg beaters, your meat (optional) and stir.  Microwave 1 minute, take a fork and mix up the egg and veggies.  Then add shredded cheese and some salsa.  Mix together and enjoy. 

This is a very "no fuss", healthy and good recipe for a quick breakfast or snack during the day.  (I got this recipe idea from watching Hungry Girl on Food Network, she has a lot of mug recipes)

Birthday Cake Bark

I came across this recipe on swap-bot.com and I plan to make it for my son's 10th birthday party this month, or maybe I might just make it today, lol


6 oz. dark chocolate
12 oz. white chocolate
3 teaspoons white cake mix
sprinkles

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave, then pour out on the baking sheet and spread with a knife. Then place in the freezer for a few minutes. Next, melt the white chocolate in the microwave, then mix in the 3 teaspoons of cake mix. Spread the white chocolate on top of the dark chocolate layer, then add your sprinkles on top and freeze for a few minutes, then break into pieces. Yummy!!

Summer Strawberry & Turkey Salad

fresh baby spinach
chopped lettuce
sliced almonds
turkey deli slices (I tear mine into small pieces)
sliced strawberries
shredded cheese
bacon bits
dressing of your choice
croutons (optional)

You can also use pre-cooked chicken chunks, I used turkey deli meat because that's what I had on hand.

Layer all ingredients in a large salad bowl or plate.  Top with your favorite dressing and eat with crackers.
