Not So Sloppy Kid Friendly Sloppy Joes

Not So Sloppy Kid Friendly Sloppy Joes

I love Sloppy Joes but I hate the big mess they make. Guess what I have a trick for this, and the kids eat it up!!!.
Mccormick Sloppy Joe Mix 

INGREDIENTS
1 Packet Mccormick Sloppy Joe Mix  
1lb Groud Beef
Hamburger Buns
1/2 cup Shredded Cheese
1/2 of a 12oz Can Tomato Sauce
1/2 Cup Ketchup 
1 of a 6oz Can Tomato Paste  
1/4 Bag Lipton Onion Soup mix
Lipton Onion Soup mix


INSTRUCTIONS
Cook your ground beef and drain oil, add Half the bag of McCormick seasoning while it cooks and your 1/4 Bag of Lipton Soup mix (this way the meat soaks in the flavor). 

Once cooked ad the other ingredients except the cheese. It will be extremely thick. Toast your buns lightly so the Meat Mix won't make the bread soggy and fall apart. Then top with cheese to hold everything under the bun together. 

My kids hated Sloppy Joes with this recipe they ask for seconds every time it's thicker than most Sloppy Joes recipes so not near as messy. I always cut them in half and use the smaller buns for the little ones.

Biosilk isn't just for hair

Unusual uses Biosilk hair serum that will make that money well spent -

Hey lady's we all have that $20 bottle of biosilk hair serum. I can guess most of us have lotion and eye make up remover too, right?

Eye make up remover- no joke, it works awesome and provides a great softener for eye lashes. All u need is a dab on a cotton ball and wipe your eye makeup off (keep your eyes closed) I use water proof smudge proof eye liner and mascara, it works better then that $5 bottle of eye makeup remover. When I am finished I take another cotton ball wet with warm water to clean off the excess oil.

Tattoo brightener & enhancer - most of us have been to those sex parties that try to sell you their brand of silk oil for tattoos and lube for upwards of $50. Don't waste your money on those products (No I don't recommend using bio silk as lube) it does however work wonders on tattoos that have already healed. Just a small dab is all that's needed for a bright vibrant look.

Skin softening lotion- All you need is a dime size dab for each leg or area. Results are Vibrant and soft skin. Not to mention the smell, its a great smell that is mild.

Bikini lines- I use a very very small amount between shaves it helps soften the hair so I don't get that itchy grow back faze- mind you I shave daily but usually use bio silk 2-12 hours later 
(Do not use right after shaving unless you want to feel the burn)

Dry cracked heels are easily fixed with a very small amount of oil.


There you go that $20 is now well spent, and since you don't use very much it lasts longer than lotion or eye makeup remover. You just Saved $10-$40 on the extra products.  

REMEMBER THESE ARE MY PERSONAL RECOMMENDED USES FOR BIOSILK HAIR SERUM. BIOSILK COMPANY DOES NOT RECOMMEND THESE-  I HAVEN'T HAD ANY REACTIONS AND HAVE DONE THESE THINGS FOR YEARS BUT WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT IF YOU DO HAVE ANY SORT OF PROBLEM STOP USING IT AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BLAME ME OR BIOSILK THIS BLOG IS MADE FOR SUGGESTIONS AND TIPS NO ONE FORCED YOU TO TRY THEM.

Bacon Chicken Salad With Caramelized Apples

This is my Absolute Favorite Salad



INGREDIENTS


2 cups Green and Red Apples Diced 
1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar

Freshly cooked Bacon Diced 
Cooked Cubed Chicken (Tyson makes a frozen precooked package for fast prep)
Poppy-Seed Dressing 
Romaine Lettuce (I mix in Spinach leaves)












INSTRUCTION

Cook the Chicken and Bacon Pieces and set aside. Caramelize the Apples in a small frying pan with the brown sugar, only a few minutes it should be tan colored and still crunch.

 If you don't know how to caramelize things- Google has some great tutorials. 

Mix together your Lettuce, apples, and meats lightly top with Poppy-seed dressing

-Other toppings of your choice could include craisins, almonds, sun nuts, etc... 









French Vanilla French Toast

Mouth Watering French Vanilla French Toast (NO DAIRY)

I personally cannot tolerate Milk well, so what do I do with French Toast? That's easy, I substitute with the best thing known to man.- CoffeMate- French Vanilla Non Dairy Liquid Creamer

INGREDIENTS

5-8 Eggs (Single serving 1-2)
1/4 cup (Single serving size 3 tbsp) CoffeMate- French Vanilla Non Dairy Liquid Creamer
Dash of Nutmeg and Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla Extract









INSTRUCTIONS

Mix eggs, French Vanilla creamer well add Nutmeg and Cinnamon.
Dip Bread into batter and fry until golden brown.

Best French Toast you will ever have!! Be creative if you like coconut flavor add that creamer instead. I've tried almost all flavors. They are delicious.

I prefer coconut syrup instead of maple, which is a perfect match for french vanilla french toast.

Ramen is oh so, Ramen!


I've got some delicious ways to make that 20 cent package so much more enjoyable.

Ramen fried- this is a Hawaii favorite and you can make it so many ways.

First - Simple Ramen Fried

1 bag ramen
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Aloha Shoyu (or any soy sauce)


Boil the ramen per directions on package leave out the seasoning (you will use it later) once complete drain and place in frying pan with oil (mix oil well with noodles). Add seasoning packet, soy sauce, salt & pepper to taste.
Cook for about 10 minutes stirring regularly or until darker brown color and not sticky. .

That simple


Second- Ramen Fried with Meat (spam is my favorite)
Everything above add cooked diced chicken, pork, ground beef/turkey, sausage, or spam before seasoning.


Third- No Meat Vegetarian Style
Add diced Tofu instead Of Meats (scrambled egg if you eat dairy) and Stir fry vegis (Chopped carrots, broccoli, sugar snapped peas, water chestnuts.) 


Fourth- All Out Vegi Meat Combo Ramen Fried
Add meat- chicken, beef, sausage (ground or diced) whatever you want 2 or 3 choices (remember they have to be cooked first) add cooked scrambled egg. Stir fry vegis are best -Chopped carrots, broccoli, sugar snapped peas, water chestnuts. Whatever your stir fry mind can handle. Add more soy sauce & seasonings for flavor with this one.


Masters note- cook meats with 1/4 a bag of Lipton's onion soup mix.

Depending on your preparation choice price can range from under $5- $15 if you add all the extras.
