For our anniversary, we decided to get some new pots and pans! Romantic right?! I think so! :) Since I've been staying home I decided to start trying to learn how to cook healthier and smarter for our family...it's also cheaper. We decided to get the Rachael Ray stuff and for Christmas I got The Pioneer Woman's cookbook and I love it! It's so simple to see what should happen next and the pictures help me (I'm a visual learner!) . What are some of your favorite websites or recipes to use?? Feel free to share! Happy Wednesday!
Here are a couple of my new favorite recipes...and they are super easy! (These recipes are for 2-3 people, so if you need more, just double the recipe.)
- Pepperoni Loaf
- 1 refrigerated pizza crust
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella
- 4 oz pepperoni
- 1 egg white (or I used melted butter)
- 1 t. garlic salt
- 1 t. pepper
- 4 t. Italian seasoning
- Spaghetti sauce for dipping
- Spread pizza crust to a large rectangle on a sprayed cookie sheet.
- Brush with egg white (or melted butter)
- Sprinkle spices evenly, then cheese, then a single layer of pepperoni
- Roll loaf up lengthwise
- Pinch ends and place seam side down
- Brush egg white on top (or with melted butter)
- Bake 20 minutes at 400 until bread it done
- Serve with warmed spaghetti sauce for dipping
- This is another favorite around here...Salsa Sirloin Salad
- 3/4 to 1 lb. beef top sirloin steak, fat trimmed
- chili powder
- garlic salt
- 1/2 bag mixed salad greens
- 1/2 can chili beans (drained)
- 1/2 can corn, (drained)
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- Sprinkle both sides of steak with chili powder and garlic salt
- Cook steak in non-stick skillet on medium heat 5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness
- Carve steak into thin strips
- Combine salad greens, beans, corn, and salad dressing
- Divide evenly between 2 plates and add steak strips and diced tomatoes on top of salad

Hey - don't feel bad about buying something you need/want for special occasions. We got a Dyson vacuum for Christmas! :-)
That pepperoni loaf sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing.
