I make sheet pan nachos all the time (in fact, it’s the only nachos I ever make) and it’s honestly an excuse for me to get rid of the stuff in my fridge. Vegetables are sauteed with loads of garlic and chilli before being layered with the corn chips and cheese, left-over bolognaise sauce gets a second chance quite often and when I have almost nothing in the house, frozen corn and cheese make an excellent version....

Ingredients Needed Olives. I used pitted green olives. I would definitely recommend using pitted olives to reduce prep time but you can use any type of olive you like. Flour. Eggs. Bread crumbs.

To serve: I made a quick dipping sauce from mayonnaise and Calabrian chilies but you can serve these with roasted garlic aioli or sour cream and onion dip too....

Like if you don’t, YOU CAN’T SIT WITH US. I kid. I randomly bought poppy seeds in the bulk bins because I was fantasizing about bagels after the dreamy one I laid mouth on this weekend.

Updated June 15, 2020 I eat oatmeal with Caleb every morning for breakfast. It’s our thing. We invite Josh to our oatmeal party, but he rarely attends:) He would rather eat cold cereal or toast.

Muscavado, Demerara, etc. Golden syrup. Golden syrup is another addition to my cookie recipe that adds to the chewiness of these cookies.

Healthy, kid-friendly snack cookie perfection!...
