Waffle Iron Grilled Cheese

 

Grilled Cheese is one of my favorite things to eat. My favorite part is the crust, where it gets super crunchy, but there's still a little bit of melted cheese hanging on. I read about putting your grilled cheese in the waffle iron, and it is a BRILLIANT idea. I will never make grilled cheese the same way!

Ingredients:

• Two slices of bread
• Butter
• Cheese

Directions:

1. Turn on waffle iron
2. While it's heating, butter two sides of the bread and put cheese inside
3. Put grilled cheese on the iron and close as normal

Here, I enjoyed it with Spaghetti-O's (super adult dish!)

Tip: Make Spaghetti Os' extra creamy by adding cheese to pot when heating up

Enjoy!

Chocolate Covered Ritz Cracker and Peanut Butter Sandwiches

 

I ate this at the end of my Whole30 challenge. Literally every ingredient is NOT Whole30 approved. I thought I would be sick, but it was SO delicious! The salt from the crackers and the sweet from the chocolate, plus the smooth part of the peanut butter, was an amazing combination. Typing this is making me hungry...! The best part is you can make one, or tons!

Ingredients:

• Ritz crackers
• Peanut butter
• Melting chocolate 

Directions:

1. Arrange sandwiches with 2 crackers and about a tsp. of peanut butter
2. Put parchment paper on baking sheet
3. Melt chocolate and dip cracker sandwich into chocolate
4. Take out and put on paper, then put in fridge until hardened

Frozen Almond Butter and Banana Nest

I've been eating so much almond butter, and I wondered what it tasted like frozen. I was also in need of a frozen, desserty (but Whole30 approved) treat.

Ingredients:

• Almond butter
• Banana

Directions:

1. Line a cupcake/muffin tin with cupcake liners
2. Scoop about 2 tbsp. of almond butter into each cup
3. Push in a large chunk of banana
4. Put in the freezer until frozen

This was REALLY good. Each cup/nest was a huge amount of almond butter, so I only ate one at a time.

Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats

It was a friend's birthday, and I asked his girlfriend (my best friend since 6th grade) what his favorite dessert was. She said he loved anything with peanut butter, and I needed to make something quickly, so I settled on peanut butter Rice Krispies treats. I wanted to make it a little more fancy, so I decided to make my own homemade peanut butter frosting.

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp. butter
• 1 10oz package Marshmallows
• 1/2 c. peanut butter
• 6 c. Rice Krispies cereal

Directions:

1. In a microwave safe bowl, heat butter and marshmallows on high for 3 minutes, stirring every minute and until smooth
2. Add peanut butter, and stir until combined
3. Coat brownie pan with cooking spray
4. Spray hands with cooking spray or with butter, and press mixture evenly into pan
   
5. Wait until cool
6. Cut with a buttered knife to make smooth cuts
