Phyllo and Rice Week

sugar cookies made with the boys

i know i speak a lot about using what i already have. it is true though as i often buy things in bulk, or i will think i have time to try out some decadent recipe...and then it does not happen.
this is how phyllo and puff pastry ended up in my freezer. so i built a few meals around that...not gluten free so i had a lot of leftovers this week...but the boys all seemed to enjoy the phyllo surprises.
plus - made lots of cookies with the boys this week...my 3.5yr old proudly rolled dough and cut out shapes and letters.

phyllo phyllo and more phyllo

for all of the different takes i used
2 sheets of phyllo
...lazy me i just sprayed them with cooking spray
and in a 350 oven for 10-15min

version 1
spaghetti sauce
2tbsp parmesan
.25c sliced marble cheddar

version 2
baby food jar as pictured
.25c sliced marble cheddar

version 3
premade buffalo chicken tenders
.25c french onion dip
some just-expired fun-cheez (2 small packets)

all were eaten - the baby food one was a hit with the 3.5yr old - go figure - looked disgusting in the jar - not sure why my husband bought it...and now it is used up.

hmmm have no idea where the golden after photos are...on the to find list.
