Domesticated

I'm so domesticated :)  LOL

This afternoon I became a cooking/cleaning/baking fool!!!

I made chicken cheese quesadillas for lunch

then baked some chocolate chip peanut butter cookies (from a mix) and made an appetizer for tomorrow's pot luck at lunch.  I modified a pampered chef recipe for what I call chicken popovers:)

Ingredients:

Seemless Crescent Rolls

1/4 C. minced yellow onion

2/3 can healthy request cream of celery soup

2 tsp light mayo

1 and 1/4 C. shredded cheddar cheese

2 C. shredded chicken breast (I used a rotisserie chicken...cheater) :)

How?  Using the sheet of seemless crescent rolls I cut one sheet into 24 squares.  I pressed the squares into a mini muffin pan.  Combine onion, chicken, 1 C. cheese, mayo, and soup in a small bowl.  scoop mixture into each mini muffin cup.  Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top.  Bake at 370 for 15 minutes.  Voila!  These little guys are so yummy!

After the Ravens Game...WOO HOO RAVENS!  I hit the road for 2 miles of really feel good - awesome running (8 minutes running, 2 minutes walking)!  It felt really good.  Especially after a somewhat sedentary week!  WOO HOO!  I ROCK! - LOL

When I got home I was hungry so I had some oatmeal

Dearest hubby picked up a new kind of oatmeal.  At least it is quick cook.  I think I like rolled oats better but these will do for now.

I got to thinking about the pot luck tomorrow and got concerned there wouldn't be enough sweet stuff (and the boys ate the peanut butter cookies I made to bring...whoops).  I decided to make some dessert hummus (choc. chip cookie dough dip)  Mmmmmmm, this stuff rocks.  This pic looking into my bullet cup is cool (I think)

I have slightly modified this recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie and Green Lite Bites.  Here is what I did:

1 can chick peas (rinsed)
2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp vanilla
1/3 C. Vanilla almond milk
1/8 tsp. salt
3 tbsp mini choc. chips

I add everything except the choc chips to the bullet blender cup and blend, I have to shake and blend and shake and blend.  Sometimes I have to add more almond milk.  Then I stir in the choc. chips and serve with some whole grain graham crackers.

Mmmmmm...can't wait to enjoy this stuff tomorrow. 

Right now I'm chillin by the fire.  It was pretty chilly today so the fireplace got a test run.  I LOVE OUR FIREPLACE!

   

 Now I have to prep for tomorrow...I don't think I mentioned it here yet but Halloween at TESSCO is crazy!  Each team has a theme and it is a huge competition.  We've had some crazy Halloweens.  My team has been "High School cliques", a circus, Holidays, this year we are aliens.  I'll post pictures tomorrow.  I HEART HALLOWEEN!

I need to wake up extra early to get ready...time to go
