Goat Cheese and Tomato Omelet

I'm working through the ChaLEAN Extreme program again and besides the Insanity Nutrition Guide, this guide is by FAR my favorite. I feel like Chalene is speaking to women here with meal prep being quick, simply, tasty, and not something that will make us blow up!

Here's a favorite of mine for breakfast:

Mummy Cocktail Weenies

Okay so before I start this, let me just being by saying that I am no  Martha Stewart. If you come into my house you will most likely find chaos -- or it's really clean (but stuff is most likely shoved in a closet somewhere). I do not parade around in an apron and pearls - I.Am.Busy.

So when I stumble upon something that is super cute, and that helps me LOOK like my life is together in the kitchen - I take it! I originally got this idea last year from sugarandspice-celeste.blogspot.com  Check it out for other great ideas!

I made these adorable little cocktail weenies last year for our neighborhood's little "candy gathering" and they were gone when we left! (so I'd call that a success!)  I'll be making them again this year - they are so easy!

What You Need:

Cocktail Weenies
Pillsbury Crescents
Mustard

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Unroll each crescent "triangle" and cut into thin strips
3. Place a cocktail weenie at one end of your strip and roll it down to the other end of the strip, "mummifying" the weenie
4. Place on a greased baking sheet
5. Continue until all of your ingredients are gone
6. Bake your weenies until golden brown (about 10 - 15 minutes)
7. Take out and let cool
8. Create glowing eyes with dabs of mustard

THAT'S IT! YOU'RE DONE! It's so super simple and they taste reeeeally good.

Enjoy your weenies!!
