Spicy Inside Out Cheese Burger

Spicy inside out cheese burger, you are one of my favorite things. And so easy to make. Sometimes I just get inspired to actually cook something that might be filling. Not possibly good for me, but yummy either way. So I grabbed from the fridge some ground beef and a block of jalapeno cheddar cheese (Cracker Barrel). I also located the last of the fresh salsa that I made earlier in the day (tomatoes, green pepper, and onion) and some bread.

Mixed some garlic powder, fresh ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper in the meat, then made two patties and placed some diced cheddar in the middle.

Pressed those patties together and used my one egg frying pan. You remember the little gem that I used for making my breakfast egg wrap? Yup, that is the perfect size for making burgers.

Easy Buffalo Chicken Wrap

My name is Roni and I have a Franks RedHot addiction.

Phew. Okay, glad we got that out of the way to start. That being said, it should be no surprise to anyone that I have about a thousand ways that I make buffalo chicken in some form or not – tacos, wraps (yes, they are basically the same thing), pizza, dip, with fries, etc. So when I had a craving for buffalo chicken and only wraps on hand, I decided to take it upon myself to make a quick sandwich.

With a dash of olive oil for the pan, that’s all you really need for this. I promise. This time I won’t magically add more things as we go along. I know I tend to do that.

Chopped up the chicken, cooked it through, opened the Franks RedHot (might have taken a big sniff of it and went to heaven, then came back for a few drops before I doused the pan and added a small amount of cheese).

Cooked that down until it got all gooey and wonderful, then spooned it onto two tortillas that had been warmed in the microwave.

 

Have I ever told you that I was a sandwich princess in college? Worked in a fabulously ill-fitting purple (yes, I said purple) polo shirt. Became pro at making wraps. It’s an art really, I almost went to the food Olympics, but backed down at the last minute to take care of world peace. You know, something like that.

The reason I’m telling you this isn’t because I wrapped these perfectly (actually, I did a pretty horrible job, gotta get back into training), but because the point of making a wrap isn’t to just roll it like a taco, you have to close the ends. So make sure you roll in one side, the two outer ends (left and right), and then roll it to close it up. That way you can put it on the George Foreman (BINGO!).

Snack-Sized Cookie Mixes?

My mind was blown at the supermarket the other day. I was wandering the baking aisle looking for inspiration when I stumbled upon the best thing ever. As a single gal, I rarely have a need for two dozen cookies. So when I saw this on the shelf, I was ecstatic. No more baking for an army when I’m took lazy to not use boxed!

And would be perfect for making cookie bars!

Quick Eggs

I had about four minutes to get out of the house this morning. I thought, oh hey, I can totally make myself breakfast,. And then I realized I wouldn’t be able to inhale a bowl of Cheerios or make myself waffles in time to get out of the door. (No, I don’t eat frozen waffles. I have a waffle maker!!) So I checked the fridge real quick and thanked the gods (you know, like Paula Deen and Giada de Laurentiis) that I had some eggs in the fridge and some tortillas (almost always on hand). Brilliance struck! I kinda was hoping for lightning for something, but i’m not that cool. Quick eggs!

Then pulled out my handy mini egg frying pan. It’s probably one of the best cooking items I’ve ever purchased. I poked the yolk so it would cook faster.

Microwaved the tortilla during this time for 10 seconds to loosen it up, then placed some cheese and fresh tomatoes on the tortilla. The waiting (not long) for the egg began.

Rolled up that baby and tossed some hot sauce on it. I was ready to eat that thing up!

See, it’s perfect for on the go, too! Don’t worry, I wasn’t eating and driving, just took the picture in the car before I gobbled it up.
