NO PRETZELS!

I know my last post told everyone to look out for the pretzel recipe and for pictures of them! Well it isn't going to happen. I made the pretzels, but they looked absolutely awful! This was my first time working with yeast, so that's my excuse. They tasted pretty much like pretzels taste, except they were a little off textured. And, as I mentioned, they looked awful!

The start of pretzels!

I was having a hard time kneading the dough for pretzels so I asked Rob to help me out. Here he is kneading it!

I hope to cook the pretzels tonight, so look for them tomorrow!

My Very First Omelet! Ever!

I have been wanting to make omelets for some time now. I've been putting it off forever and last night I had very little time to prepare dinner, so I said "I'm making omelets.

I have to say, I was a little scared that they wouldn't turn out very good. But, I proved to myself that I could do it. I also had hash browns and strawberries on the side.

My omelet was filled with sauteed spinach and mushrooms and lots of cheese!

Robert's was filled with chopped ham and lots of cheese.

This was a wonderful and easy quick meal. Omelets will be made often at our house now!

Homemade Pizza!

I had some leftover chicken (see last post), so I decidedt o make a pizza with the leftovers. It turned out pretty good and made a nice luch for DH and I.
Pizza Crust: From Bettycrocker.com
(I doubled the recipe)
1 1/2 cups Bisquick
1/3 cup HOT water
~Mix together around 20 strokes. Lay on 20 greased pizza pan and smooth over the entire pan.

I added jarred spaghetti sauce (it was all I had) to the crust, then I put mushrooms, chicken, olives and cheese on top!
I baked on 450 for about 20 minutes or until the crust is light brown.

Crock pot Whole Chicken

This chicken was extremely easy and very good.
First, I cleaned the chicken and placed it in the crockpot
I had a packet of Zesty herb mix, so I mixed that up and injected it into the chicken. Then, I sprinkled some McCormick chicken seasoning on top. I put sliced onions over the top and added a couple bay leaves. I also added a little bit of apple juice into the bottom of the pot for just some moisture. I cooked it all day on low.
This chicken was delish! It fell off the bone and was full of flavor.
Sorry I forgot to take an after picture, so you only get to see what it looked like before!
