More Cookies Please! #SweetStackers To the Rescue!

I received a Sweet Stackers food storage system to review. I received no additional compensation. Opinions are my own.
Sweet Stackers
The holidays are coming and it will soon be cookie baking season again! If you are like me, then you bake cookies for your family, some more cookies and sweets for gifts, maybe some wind up at work…you get the idea.
Delicate cookies and baked items can be hard to store. I usually wind up either having trays in single layers or just stacking cookies on top of each other at weird angles. That’s fine for family nibbles but for storing or transporting cookies as gifts, give these reasonably priced plastic layers a try!

Sweet Stackers are a stackable food storage system that allows you to layer your food or bakery items on trays, which fit in a plastic food container that you probably already own!
These trays come with adjustable plastic risers that let you comfortably space baked goods. The trays rest on top of the risers so nothing touches it. Very nice!
Sweet Stackers are made out of polypropylene which is BPA free. Polypropylene is commonly used in food packaging and containers. You can use it in the refrigerator or freezer too. The trays and riser pieces are hand washable and can also be put in the upper rack of your dishwasher.

Sweet Stackers fit a variety of plastic food storage containers, but most importantly they fit the major brands like Rubbermaid®, Tupperware® and Sterilite®.
This system works great for other foods like deviled eggs, canapes and mini muffins.

I am also lucky enough to have Sweet Stackers as one of my sponsors for #FallTasteParty2013!

Pizza Bones #SundaySupper

♪ ♫ Them bones,them bones…♫ ♪ them tasty bones!
pizza bones and sauce

This week the Sunday Supper Group is scaring up some Halloween menu ideas for your party from cocktails to sweet treats and everything in between. I’m a big fan of Halloween. I love seeing the costumes and dressing up myself on occasion! Trick or treat usually meant coming home with tons of candy to sort through before letting my daughter eat a thing. What torture! I used to keep a treat or two in my pocket to let her have between houses to appease her. 😉

I made Pizza Bones for our virtual Halloween Party! These are very simple to make and cook in about 15 to 20 minutes. Thank you, Kathia from
Basic N Delicious for hosting our party!

Pizza Bones

Ingredients

  • 1 package pizza dough or homemade dough
  • 1 package mozzarella string cheese sticks, I used the “light” ones
  • 1/2 lb luncheon meat, I used turkey pastrami and pepperoni
  • 1 jar of your favorite pizza sauce

Roll pizza dough into a large rectangle and cut into 4 strips. Cut cheese sticks in half and space them a few inches apart on the dough strip.

Wrap the cheese with your choice of meat if desired. Cut between the bones leaving enough room to pinch dough shut around filling.

Bake at 450 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until dough is done and cheese is melted.

  • Kyvan Foods sent me sample jars of their Honey Apple Salsa and Honey Apple Butter. I served their Honey Apple Salsa on toast with brie and the Honey Apple Butter was spooned onto graham crackers. So good!
