Baked Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Ingredients:

  • 12 sticks mozzarella cheese sticks
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 10 tbsp Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 10 tbsp panko crumbs
  • 4 tsp parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp dried parsley
  • non stick cooking spray
  • Marinara Sauce

Recipe:

  1. Cut all cheese sticks in half to make 24 pieces and place cheese in freezer.
  2. Pull out three bowls…in one bowl beat 2 large eggs, in the other bowl the flour (I add a little pepper and garlic powder in my flour mix) and in the third bowl combine Italian breadcrumbs, Panko crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and dried parsley.
  3. Place each frozen cheese stick first in flour bowl, then in egg bowl, then in bread crumbs bowl. Repeat this process with all the cheese sticks. Once the cheese sticks are coated, place on a baking sheet with wax paper.
  4. Place mozzarella sticks in freezer for about 20 minutes, or until frozen.
  5. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non stick cooking spray. Place frozen mozarella sticks on tray. Spray tops of mozarella sticks with cooking spray. Bake for about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip mozzarella sticks and bake for an additional 4 to 5 minutes.
  6. Serve in your favorite marinara sauce (or make your own..it’s super easy)

Southwest Quinoa Chicken and Corn Chili….AMAZING!!!

southwest quinoa

Last night I came up with a recipe for what I am going to call a Southwest Quinoa Chicken and Corn Chili…and it was AMAZING!!! My husband and kids just ate it up like it was dessert! The funny thing is that the whole time it was cooking my husband kept saying “I am scared” (because he has never had quinoa before) but is seriously turned out great!!!

Southwest Quinoa Chicken and Corn Chili

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup of quinoa, rinsed
  • (3) cans Diced/Crushed/Italian tomatoes (I used 1 can diced and 1 can Italian tomatoes, 1 can crushed…you can do any combination you would like)
  • (1) can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • (2) cans of black beans, rinsed, drained (we are not a bean family…so I only used 1 can…but it easily could have used 1 more can)
  • (1) 15 oz can of corn, drained (we love corn…so we used 2 cans here)
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • (2) cans or 3 cups chicken stock
  • 2 large chicken breasts (bones thighs work too) frozen or thawed (cook longer if frozen)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp cumin (I left this out last night…but think it would enhance the flavor)
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper (don’t worry this won’t make it spicy…just adds flavor)
  • 2 tsp chili powder

quinio chicken chili ingredients

 

Directions

  1. This is the best part…so easy…just throw everything into the  crock pot  and cook for 7-8 hours on low or 5-7 hours on high. If you used frozen chicken add about an hour…mainly cook until the chicken is cooked all the way through)
  2. Run a fork through the crock pot and feel for the chicken…if it is not broken up already…just break it apart (or you can remove it from the slow cooker….shred it with two forks and return it) I found that my chicken cooked so tender that I just had to run a fork through and it broke apart with no effort!
  3. Serve in individual bowls…topped with cheese, sour cream, avocados…whatever you like!!! (My hubby added a jalapeno at this point)

Bring that Leather back to life…DIY Leather Cleaner!!!

So we have these red leather theater chairs in our “family room” and well as luck would have it right after we got these cool chairs we got 2 very adorable kittens. Needless to say those kittens have put some little shallow scratches on the leather…and my kids have done their duty of making them a bit dirty themselves.

I really haven’t ever seen coupons for leather cleaner or conditioner and that stuff and be kind of spendy…so I looked up different recipes and ingredients for “Do IT Yourself” recipes….viola…I have clean…scratch free leather chairs again!!!

Leather Cleaner

1 cup olive oil

2 cups white vinegar

10 drops of essential oils (I used orange!)

                                  ***I am now headed to my cars to clean my car seats…so excited!!!
