Hi family! Well I know this is kind of last minute. I didn't realize some kids were already out of school! Where has the year gone? It seemed like yesterday I seen parent's skipping (ok walking) to the bus stop. Anyway this is an inexpensive gift you and your child or children can make. A lot of the items you probably have laying around your house. The rest of it can be purchased at Dollar Tree. Check out this step by step video on our YouTube channel: We 3 Mason Jar Mamas Most of the items come in packages of 5-10 items so you can make more then one jar which is awesome because most kids have more then one Teacher.

Hi Family! As I was cooking dinner tonight i figured heck why not share this recipe. It is a one pan dinner and it has one of the perfect ingredients. BACON! Now who puts bacon on chicken? I do. And it was delicious! Pretty simple to put together also and I loved the fact I only had to clean up one pan. If you dislike dishes as much as I do you will totally understand. So here we go...........(You can alter this recipe as you see fit. If you don't like onions don't put them in. You only have 2 sweet potatoes make it work..lol) Preheat your oven to 400 degrees 3 large chopped sweet potatoes 1 medium chopped onion 10 pcs chicken (I used legs and thighs) 6 oz bacon (Here is where you can add more :) 1/2 cup Sweet Baby Rays Hawaiian BBQ sauce (If you only have original it's ok) Shake of Smokehouse Maple seasoning Layer your chopped potatoes in a 9 x 13 or an 11 x 14 pan, add your chopped onion on top.Then add your chicken pieces, sprinkle that with your Smokehouse Maple seasoning. Cover that with your BBQ sauce. Then add your bacon. Cover with foil..Place in your preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue cooking another 15 minutes. This gives your bacon a chance to crisp up... And dinner is served! For video instructions visit: Mason Jar Mamas YouTube Mama April Here! My son decided to wake up earlier then usual this morning and I found myself wanting breakfast, but not wanting to cook it - mostly because I would have had to was my frying pan and THEN cook, so to avoid all that I decided to make my 3 minute french toast mug. It really is simple all you need are the following ingredients and a large microwave safe mug:
2 Large Eggs 2 Tbs Milk 1 Cap Vanilla Extract Sprinkle Of Cinnamon 2 Slices of Bread (your choice) Mix Eggs, Milk, Vanilla, and cinnamon together in a mug Cut or tear bread into bite size pieces Drop bread into mug and use fork to make sure bread is coated in egg mixture Microwave on high for 3:00 minutes Top with your favorite french toast toppings (I like butter and syrup!) Enjoy! For a step by step video visit our youtube site: 3 Minute French Toast Hi Family! Today we are making breakfast burrito's. I actually promised my Grandson months ago I would make him some so he can just heat and eat on his way to work. Well I finally got to it (truth be told the chickens have been on a laying spree and I had an over abundance of eggs so had to do something with them) so anyway... So a few years back someone who worked for a famous food chain known for pancakes..hint...hint..told me the secret for the fluffiest scrambled eggs ever. So what is this secret additive? I have been told in the past try baking soda, use an immersion blender, water instead of milk, condensed milk, etc, etc, well I have tried all those however never got the consistency or flavor I was looking for. But when I tried what this cook told me it was pure magic! I was dancing around my kitchen singing the praises..(Ok a little drama added in there. But they did turn out good.. The secret? Pancake mix. And you don't even need that much of it. I use complete mix that you just add water too. If I'm making eggs just for my Husband and I, I only use about 2-3 Tbsp if I'm making a batch like I needed for the burrito's I used a 1/4 cup and they came out wonderfully! With some extra food items breakfast burritos were being rolled.. Here is the list of ingredients I used.. 15 eggs 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup complete pancake mix Mix until no lumps appear in your mix and eggs are blended. Spray your pan with non-stick spray. Cook on medium heat making sure to keep turning and mixing in the pan. And then turn down as your eggs start cooking as you don't want to cook them to fast or too high of heat. When your eggs are done put them in a bowl until they cool down enough to work with them. I then had a package of 12 tortillas (Purchased from Dollar Tree Yes! Dollar Tree!) 10 sausage links 1/2 to 1 cup frozen spinach (depends if you like it) note: I did thaw the spinach 1/4 cup blended cheese (I used Mexican blend) Open your package of tortillas fill with a few Tbsp of cooked eggs, add a sausage link (I added them frozen) grab a pinch of cheese, and a few Tbsp spinach. Roll up and start again. I put 2 each in a freezer bag. Now when I get up I pop one in the microwave for about a minute & a half and I am ready to go. Cost was around 6.00. Can't beat that for breakfast for the next 6-12 days depending on whether you eat 1-2...Enjoy!
