Nutella-Peanut Butter Cookies


I have a Nutella addiction.  Its true.  If Nutella can be added to a recipe, i've probably tried it. 

My daughter and I were wanting a snack after church and she came with the idea of adding Nutella to our peanut butter cookie recipe.  Um.....OK!  (Yes, my daughter is coming up with her own recipes at 4!).  This is the same peanut butter cookie recipe found here, only I added a bit less sugar and exchanged the Hersey Kiss for Nutella.


Nutella Peanut Butter Cookies

(And you should really share some...even though they taste great, it is not healthy to consume them all yourself).

Muffin Pan Quiche

Sometimes you just can't worry about the fat content/ calories in a recipe.  You just have to rely on your taste buds. As a warning, your butt and thighs will not like you for consuming this food.  Just sayin....


Muffin Pan Quiche
1 pkg store bought pie crusts (comes with two)
6 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup chopped broccoli florets
1 cup cooked sausage
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 garlic clove minced
1 tsp ground mustard
salt/pepper

~Spray muffin tin with cooking spray
~Cut pies crusts with a four inch biscuit cutter (I actually have no idea if they even make biscuit cutters that big, I just used the top of a four inch cup)
~Gently place each piece of pie crust in each muffin cup
~Evenly distribute the broccoli, sausage and cheese in each muffin cup
~In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, salt and pepper (just use your judgment with the salt and pepper...I added quite a bit of salt and it tasted great)
~Pour egg mixture evenly over the top of the other ingredients
~Saute the onions and garlic in a bit of butter and then evenly distribute over the tops of the muffin cups.

Bake in 400 degree oven for 22 min. Enjoy!
