pizza factory breadstick knock-off

i love pizza factory's breadsticks. every time i go there - no matter what i am ordering - i will order a breadstick. so, when i found this site i knew i had to try these. believe it or not, they are very simple and the mr. told me he likes these better than pizza factory's. it's still up for debate in my mind - although i do think they are delicious, just not quite sure if they are pizza factory delicious. try them and let me know what you think.

rhodes rolls (2 per breadstick)
3 TBS melted butter
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dilweed
1/4 tsp parmesan cheese (i use 1/2 tsp - but i really like parmesan cheese)
bamboo skewers



there is a little prep involved with these, so they can't really be done last minute. but just because they need prep, doesn't mean they aren't simple.

let as many rhodes rolls rise as needed (remember, two per breadstick, so if you want 3 breadsticks, you need 6 rhodes rolls).



once they have risen, knead two of them together and roll into a thin rope and wrap them around the skewers.



let them rise again - double in size.



(you can put them on a flat surface, i.e. cookie sheet, but i don't like mine to have a flat bottom, so i hang mine off of a cake pan, so the bread stick is nice and plump on all sides).

once they have doubled in size, preheat oven to 375 and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. while they are cooking, mix the butter, garlic salt, garlic powder, dillweed, and parmesan cheese together in a small bowl. once they are finished baking, take them out and immediately brush each breadstick with glaze on all sides. serve warm.



mmm mmm good.

chicken fajitas

i can't take credit for making this meal up, but i also don't use a recipe. this is my version of fajitas, although, i am sure there were plenty of people that came up with this long before i did. but, here are my easy fajitas.

chicken, cut into pieces
peppers (i love all the different kinds - red, yellow, and orange)
fajita seasoning
tortillas
cheese
any other toppings you wish to add

i don't even have measurements, because like i said i don't use a recipe. all i do is cut up some chicken and cook it over medium heat in a skillet, until cooked through.



cut up all different colors of peppers and cook those on medium heat until tender.



once both the peppers and chicken are cooked, add them together and pour fajita seasoning on top and mix it all together. i only use half the packet of fajita seasoning, but you can use as much or as little as you would like.



once the chicken and peppers are coated in the seasoning, put the mixture on a tortilla (i like the fresh ones that you have to cook on the skillet).





add cheese and any other toppings (sour cream, guacamole, salsa, etc.), wrap it up and eat it. i love how colorful the peppers make it. it makes me happy.



easy and tasty. enjoy.
