Maple Flavoured Bacon Wrapped Buffalo Chicken Crunch Wrap

Ingredients:

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 C water

Shredded old cheddar cheese (amount depends on your preference)

1 TBSP chopped chives

1 bottle of Presidents Choice Smokey Bacon Hot Sauce

2 packages of bacon

4 burrito wraps (we used ancient grains)

Olive oil

Maple Syrup

Salt

Pepper

Directions:

Place the chicken breasts in the croc pot with 1 C of water, salt, pepper and 1/2 C of hot sauce. Cook on low for 3-4 hours

Remove chicken from the croc pot and let stand for 5 minutes, then shred

Preheat oven to 400 F

In a large bowl, combine chicken, cheddar cheese, chives and hot sauce. Amount of cheese and hot sauce depends on your own preference. Mix together

Place 3 or 4 pieces of bacon besides each other vertically, and 3 pieces horizontally over the vertical pieces. On top of the bacon, add burrito wrap

Put chicken mixture on the wrap and fold edges in

Starting with the horizontal bacon, wrap the bacon around the wrap and place on a baking sheet (we put 2 pieces of tin foil down on the sheet)

Once on baking sheet, rub olive oil over each wrap and bake in oven for 20 minutes

After 20 minutes, remove wraps from sheet and switch the tin foil to eliminate grease

Place back in oven for 10 minutes

Remove wraps and apply maple syrup over the wraps and bake for another 5 minutes

Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes, cut in half and enjoy!

Meatball Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Bread

Ingredients:

1 package of dinner rolls (the ones used above were from Fox’s Bakery in Barrie)

1 lb ground beef

2 TBSP butter, melted

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 TBSP chopped parsley

1 C shredded pizza mozzarella cheese

1/2 C shredded parmesan

1 TBSP Italian seasoning

1 TSP salt

1 TSP pepper

1 TBSP oil

1 Jar of 4 cheese spaghetti sauce

Directions:

Preparing the buns:

Preheat the oven to 350 F

Cut a hole into each dinner roll large enough for meatballs to fit in each roll *

In a small bowl, add minced garlic and parsley to the melted butter and mix together. Brush this butter mixture on to each roll and inside the rolls

Toast the buns in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown

* We took the cut pieces out and put them in the pan as normal garlic bread. They can be used when making the meatballs or you can stuff the bread down and sit the meatball on top of it if you don't want to not use the bread :)

The Meatballs:

Combine ground beef, parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix together until contents are evenly distributed among the meat. Roll into meatballs big enough to fit into the bread. You can add breadcrumbs to the mixture if they aren't sticking together

Heat olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Brown the meatballs and add the jar of 4 cheese spaghetti sauce.

Add shredded cheese to the bottom of each bread hole. Next, add the meatball and sauce to each bread hole.

Top each bread hole with cheese and place back into the oven until cheese is melted

Let cool, cut and enjoy! :)

Zesty Italian Pasta Salad

Ingredients:

Your choice of pasta (I like using Tri-Colour Rotini)

Your choice of veggies

1 bottle of zesty italian salad dressing

Optional: shredded cheese and parmesan cheese

For vegetables, I usually go with 1 red, 1 yellow and 1 orange pepper, onion, broccoli, grape tomatoes, cucumber- use as much as you would think you would want. I usually use the whole box of pasta so I put a lot of veggies in- it makes a lot and it's good for if you want to use it during the week for lunches/dinner, etc

Directions:

Wash and cut your vegetables and add to a large bowl

Boil the pasta until tender and rinse with cold water; add to veggies bowl and toss

In a separate bowl, add 1 bottle of zesty italian salad dressing and 6 tbsp of salad seasoning mix; whisk together; add to veggies/salad bowl

Toss all ingredients together

If desired, add grated cheese and parmesan

Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve
