Nachos for One

I have created a new and Yummy! snack. I have made this for myself every night for the past week. It may not be "diet" food. But, it's certainly not "junk" food!

Nachos for One
You'll need:
Tortilla chips (I prefer Tostitos Scoops.)
1 and a 1/2 slices of Pepper Jack Cheese
Your favorite salsa (I prefer Pace picante sauce medium. BTW, we own this company. Not! I wish!)

Directions:
Spread scoops on a microwave plate. Keep them close together. Lay sliced cheese on top of chips. Put in microwave for 32-40 seconds. Sprinkle salsa over chips and melted cheese. And, voila! A culinary masterpiece of a snack!

You could make this snack healthier by using multigrain/baked chips and low-fat cheese. Also, this is an easy recipe that older kids can even do.

If you decide to try this snack idea, I hope you enjoy it! I did get this idea from a side that I saw at our new Mama Goldberg's Deli. However, it was Doritos with melted pepper jack cheese. So, at least my way, you get some veggies!

Mice Cream

I found this recipe in Taste of Home Halloween Party Favorites cookbook. I thought it was really cute and simple. Allyson and I made them tonight together. It took about five minutes. The recipe serves 6, but you can just make one, if you want to.

Mice Cream

1 pint vanilla ice cream

1 pkg (6-count) single serve graham cracker crusts

12 chocolate-covered mint cookies (I used Oreos that I broke in half.)

3 chocolate twigs, halved or 6 pieces (3 inches each) black shoestring licorice (We left the tails off!)

18 brown M&Ms (Other colors look cute, too!)

2 tsp chocolate sprinkles

Place one round scoop of ice cream into each crust. Tuck two cookies for ears and twigs or licorice for tail into ice cream. Press M&Ms in place for eyes and nose. Place sprinkles around nose for whiskers. Serves 6.

My little mouse really enjoyed this simple and tasty treat!
