We Call Them Won Ton Stars

Super Snack-a-roonies:

  From Less Cake More Frosting

Sausage Stars

They look kinda fancy, they taste like cheezy heaven



  • 2c. cooked sausage (I like the plain kind, but you could do them spicy, if you're kinda spicy like that)
  • 1 1/2 c. cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 c. monterey jack cheese
  • 1 c. prepared ranch dressing (i use a light version, and can't taste any difference. i don't love the completely fat free in this recipe though)
  • sliced olives to taste (i just throw in a tiny can of the ones already cut into tiny pieces, drained)
  • 1/2 c. finely chopped red bell pepper
  • Stir all that goodness into a bowl



Next you'll need a package of Won Ton wrappers. Easy to find. Usually in the refrigerated section of the produce department. They have to be refrigerated.

  • Take your Won Ton wrapper and press it down into a muffin tin. As shown above.
  • The recipe says to spray the pan with a non-stick spray, but I've never had them stick
  • They won't cover the whole thing, but make sure they have a definite 'bottom'

Pre-heat your oven to 350

  • cook the formed Won Ton wrappers for 5 minutes
  • then fill with a couple tablespoons of filling. Enough. But don't over fill.
  • cook again for about another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is all melt-ee

TA DA!!!!!!!!




(recipe note: the filling WILL save for a few days in the fridge, so if you don't use it all, you can use the leftovers the next day.  These are pretty much fantastic straight out of the oven. So just keep making them as demand requires. Anticipate LOTS of demand!)

Jennifer's Shower - Breakfast Casserole | The Family Kitchen

Breakfast Casserole | The Family Kitchen

Breakfast Casserole
1 pound all natural sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 potatoes, peeled and shredded
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons cream cheese, in small pieces
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 eggs, well beaten
salt and pepper to taste.
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a skillet, cook sausage for about 4 minutes. Just as some of the sausage begins to brown, add in onion. Cook together, stirring frequently, until sausage is cooked through, and the onion is tender. Set aside to cool.
2. Press shredded potatoes into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a medium size glass baking dish. Pour over melted butter. Spread the sausage and onions on top of the potatoes, followed by the cream cheese, cheddar, and eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for one hour, or until eggs are fully cooked.

A Simple Guide to Homemade Chicken Stock

A Simple Guide to Homemade Chicken Stock: "I gain about a gallon of stock when I make it in my stock pot with two chicken carcasses. I pour the stock into two half-gallon glass canning jars. This gives me enough to make soup twice for my family later that week. Stock can stay in the fridge for about four days, or you can freeze it for a couple of months.
When I see a jar of homemade chicken stock in the fridge, I know I’m just minutes away from a cheap and nutritious meal for my family."
