Chicken Italian Sandwich


I love a good sandwich. You know it's good when I have to post about it as I'm eating it! (See also: Chicken Salad Sandwich) Ohh it's good! SO amazing. Anyway... here's the recipe, or just the idea of it. I got the original recipe from What Meegan Makes and changed it up a bit to fit what I had on hand. Hers is probably better so go check it out here.

Ingredients:
(Can be adjusted to whatever you like/ what you have on hand!)

Cooking Oil
Bell Peppers (Mine were sliced and frozen, from the Market on the Move a few weeks ago)
Onions (Also chopped and frozen)
Chicken (Mine was already cooked and shredded, leftover from lemon chicken the other night. Did you know you could shred chicken in the kitchen aid?!? It's so easy!)
Montreal Chicken Seasoning
Bread (I was sad I only had cheap bread, but it was still delicious!)
Italian Dressing
Cheese (I used Mozzarella, sliced)
Tomato Slices

Directions:
Pour a small amount of cooking oil in a frying pan and saute your peppers and onions.

Meanwhile toast your bread, and spread some Italian dressing on it. Afterwards, put your sauteed vegetables onto your bread.

Heat chicken in the frying pan, season as much as you like. When heated/cooked thoroughly put it onto your bread as well.

Add cheese and tomato slices and enjoy! I finished eating mine mid-post and I really wish I had made two!

Ritz Peanut Butter Sandwiches


I don't like to pay extra for something I can easily make. Just like those crackers and peanut butter sandwiches you can buy. I do them myself. These ones I added just a little bit of semi-sweet chocolate to the inside and they were delicious! You'll have to try it!

Tried and Liked:Cresent Rolls and French Dip Sandwiches

I made something really delicious tonight, and it was pretty easy! The rolls my mom started making this thanksgiving, and they have been a family favorite ever since (as in everyone tries to get mom to make them as often as possible!) The rolls are great, and then turning them into french dip sandwiches made them even better. Next time I have to remember the cheese. My au jus didn't turn out too great this time, but I know how to make it better next time, and I can't wait!

Breakfast Cake

Most people call this a coffee cake with a struesel topping, but that name confused my children since we don’t drink coffee. So I started calling it Breakfast Cake.

Ingredients:

3 Cups flour

1 ½ Cups sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 beaten eggs

1 ¾ Cups milk

½ Cup cooking oil

Topping:

2 Cups chopped nuts

½ Cup packed brown sugar

2 Tablespoons flour

3 Tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions:

Stir together 3 Cups of flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Combine eggs, milk and oil in separate bowl, then add to flour mixture and mix well.

Pour into a greased 9” x 13” pan.

Combine nuts, brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons of flour, butter and cinnamon. Sprinkle over cake batter.

Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes clean when poked in the center.
