Recipe: Pepperoni Cheese Bake

I got this recipe from a magazine that I can no longer find, but just keep in mind it is not my recipe! if you know the magazine, please tell me so I can put it in here.

It is a Pepperoni Cheese Bake and I was shocked by how good it was. My 2 1/2 year old son actually ate his whole slice and asked for more. Considering he doesn't like pepperoni or egg, this is amazing.

Pepperoni Cheese Bake

2 c mozzarella cheese (i suggest 2%)
1/2 c chopped pepperoni (i suggest turkey pepperoni)
5 eggs
3/4 c milk (i suggest skim)
1/4 tsp dried basil

- preheat oven to 400 degrees
- grease a 9 inch pie plate pan and layer in 1/2 the cheese, the chopped pepperoni, then the other half of the cheese.
- mix well the egg, milk, and basil in a bowl then pour over the cheese mixture in the pan
- cook for 20-25 minutes (a knife in the center should come out clean)

my experience- i used EVOO cooking spray to grease the pan and used regular pepperoni this time. i think those two things caused it to be a little greasy. next time, i am using the turkey pepperoni (which is far less greasy) and my baking spray (which has flour in it and i think will work better for this).

definitely try this though!!

reality tv

i love reality tv. there. i have admitted it.

i'm watching Top Chef right now when I really need to go take a shower and get into bed. oh, and find my cell phone. we have a two hour delay for school in the morning and i am hoping it changes to a cancellation. i had such a nice day at home with declan today and would love to do it again.

by the way, what do 2 year olds have nightmares about? there is nothing worse than watching your baby wake up from a nightmare and just look so confused, scared, and hurt.

Game Show

Napolean Dynamite

oh how i hate to admit it, but i love this movie. i feel a little dumber after i watch it but it is worth it for the crazy quotes and the dance he does at the end.

*sigh*

crystal light wild strawberry energy

i cannot believe this wasn't my first post of things i love. this is one of those little packets that you add to a bottle of water. i fill my water bottle or hospital mug (each is 32oz) with 16oz of water, add the packet, and mix then add ice and it works just as well. the energy comes from caffeine and vitamin B.

i SWEAR it makes me feel great on the days i drink it. much better than coffee or soda. the taste is a little sweet straight out of a bottle which is why i mix in ice. i add more ice at lunch time and it last the whole work day for me (7:30 ish to 5 ish). i have had several teachers ask about it and comment that i always have it and look happy when i do.

yes yes, they are not as healthy as plain water, nothing is. but they are better than soda and only 5 calories. i use only one packet a day and drink a lot more in a day than i would just water. yes, there is apartame in it. yes, there are tons of bad things for you in the world. i like this stuff, and this is, afterall, just my opinion.
