Mommy is in Timeout

We’re huge NFL fans. Let me clarify, Detroit Lions fans.

There’s a reason the kids nap time is scheduled from 1-3:30 on Sunday.

Typically, Charlie makes us one of his amazing soups for watching Football, and then we cuddle under a blanket on the couch. However, sometimes we do make other items, one of them being wings.

Wings are easy to make at home and they’re really cheap. The amount of wings that I show you in the video cost $3.50. I know. What a bargain!

You’ll also see that I grabbed a toddler sous chef again. This time though I made sure they stayed away from the raw chicken so we didn’t have to pause for possible salmonella poisoning.

Ingredients used in the video:

1 Cup Trader Joe’s Island Soyaki (if you don’t have this, just use an equal mixture of soy & teriyaki sauce)
1/2 Cup Frank’s Red Hot
1 tbsp Brown Sugar
1 tsp Minced Garlic
1 tsp Honey
Sesame Seeds
Seasoning Salt
Wings (I used 16 in the video)

This Sunday’s recipe is also for the VlogTalk linkup, which opens Monday night at 10:30pm EST. Be sure to check out the prompts for this week and join us!

This appetizer is so easy but really tasty. It’s a definite crowd pleaser!

Pizza Dip

What You’ll Need:

1 Jar of marinara sauce or pizza sauce (any brand – I prefer Trader Joe’s pizza sauce or Prego)
1 package of shredded mozzarella (or italian blend) cheese
1 package of cream cheese (room temperature)
1 scallion, diced
1 loaf of french bread
Shredded parmesan cheese
Any pizza toppings

Diced into small pieces – pepperoni, tomato, green pepper, etc.Preheat the oven to 350. In a pie dish (or any oven safe casserole dish) spread the cream cheese around the bottom. Then add a layer of marinara/pizza sauce. Try and have the cream cheese & sauce layers the same thickness. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese. Add any of the diced toppings you chose. Bake for about 15-25 minutes until cheese is completely melted & browned to your desire. Slice the french bread. Serve as a dip for the bread. Enjoy!
