Quick and Easy Christmas Dinner Salad

12 Days of Christmas ~ Day 7

Growing up this was a salad that our family had at Christmas just about every year.  It is quick and easy and you can make it in advance.  I actually suggest you make it at least one day in advance as the dressing marinates and makes it so much yummier.  

Ingredients You Will Need

Broccoli

Cauliflower

Radishes

Green Onions

2 Cans Whole Mushrooms

Italian Dressing

I make a big family sized bowl of salad and mix up all your yummy veggies and then I use about 3/4 of a bottle of dressing.  You can add more or less depending on what you like.  Let it sit for at least one day.

Project Popsicle

This Summer we have a big list of fun things to do and one of them is to make homemade popsicles each week.  This is something fun for the kids, they love coming up with the different flavors we will make each week and of course helping me make them.  

Don't worry this was a totally supervised project, no finger cutting involved

For our yummy Strawberry Yogurt Popsicle we cut up some fresh strawberries and mixed it up with some yogurt and a little milk.  Sorry not sure on exact measurements as I am an eyeball kind of girl. After blending everything up it was time to do the dirty work and fill up the popsicle holders.  My kids fight over this Job. 

Once that was done I asked my kids the unthinkable.  I asked them to be Patient and wait for them to freeze.  But it was definitely worth the wait as they were pretty darn yummy.

The kids think this week we should do chocolate so I will have to come up with a yummy idea.

Fun Halloween Food

With Halloween quickly coming closer so are the Halloween parties.  The perfect addition to any good Halloween party is some incredible and creepy Foods.  

Here are a few of my favorite picks. 

Is this not the coolest spider cake from Cookies and Cups. She gives a detailed tutorial so that you can create these oreo spiders too.

I found these on Pinterest but there was no back link to who created them.  Although they were so darn cute and looked so yummy that I had to share.

Yummy Pita Pizza

Today I thought I would share with you one of my favorite ways to eat pizza.  I am not a big fan of the thick crust with all the grease when it comes to pizza so instead I use a pita.  

I started by cutting up some mushrooms, onions, peppers, cheese and tomato's.  My kids are not a big fan of onions, because they are small each child gets what they want on their own. 

I spread pizza sauce and added this basil/garlic sauce to the top of the pita.

I am a big fan of chicken so I cooked up some chicken breasts and added a little BBQ and teriyaki sauce to it for a little extra flavor.

Once that was done I topped the pitta up with all those yummy ingredients and stuck it in the oven at 375' for about 10 - 15 minutes.  It is such a yummy dinner and it is fun to have the kids join in and help with their own toppings. 

Hope you enjoy
