Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Let’s see….
What could possibly make chocolate cover peanut butter any better?
Oh I know!!! Wrap it in a peanut butter cookie!

These are pretty easy except, it is very difficult, nearly impossible to unwrap a mini Reeses and not pop it directly into your mouth. It’s a natural reflex. Good luck.

French-Fried Onion Baked Chicken

This recipe is awesome! So yummy and easy.

For a lower calorie version, omit butter and lightly sprinkle with vegetable oil or spray with pure vegetable oil cooking spray.

Substitute broiler chicken for whatever kind of chicken you would like. I usually cut up chicken breast into chicken fingers, for dipping purposes.

French-Fried Onion Baked Chicken

1 egg
2 Tablespoons milk
1 can (2.8 oz) French-fried onions, lightly crushed
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup unseasoned dried bread crumbs
1 teaspoon paprika
dash pepper
Optional seasonings – crushed red pepper, garlic powder
1 broiler fryer chicken (3 to 4 lbs) cut up
¼ cup butter

In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and milk. In another shallow bowl combine onions, Parmesan, dried bread crumbs, and all other seasonings.

Dip chicken in egg mixture and then roll in onion mixture.

Place on a greased cookie sheet. Drizzle with butter. Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes or until juices run clear. Flip chicken pieces halfway through baking time.

Cinnamon Cookies

I don’t like molasses. It’s weird, it smells funny. It’s something Ma used on Little House on the Prairie. So I had my doubts about this cookie. I didn’t even eat any of the cookie dough, which was definitely a first.

But a just a few minutes in the oven and my house started to fill with warm cinnamon-y buttery goodness smell. Then they came out of the oven and my mouth was suddenly filled with burning hot cinnamon-y buttery goodness.

Me and molasses, we’re okay now.

Cinnamon Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tablespoons molasses
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/8 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Cream together butter and sugar.
Mix in egg and molasses, blending well.
Mix flour, baking soda and cinnamon; add to creamed mixture, mixing well.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

Homemade (FromaCakeMix) Cake

This recipe is easy and simple like a cake mix, mostly because it is a cake mix. But it has a dense texture so it tastes like you made it from scratch!

If you’re making a chocolate cake use cocoa powder instead of flour for step one.

Finish with a light dusting of confectioners sugar.




Homemade (FromaCakeMix) Cake

4 eggs
1 (3 ounce) package instant (any flavor) pudding mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 (18.25 ounce) package (any flavor) cake mix
1 cup water


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.
2. Beat eggs until thick. Add pudding mix, cake mix, water, and oil; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 5 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 50 minutes.
3. Let cool for approximately 1 hour. Carefully invert cake onto serving platter. Finish with a light dusting of confectioners sugar.

Chocolate Dipped Everything!!!

The shortening creates a smooth consistency perfect for dipping and drizzling. Try white or dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

1 cup of milk chocolate chips

1 teaspoon shortening

strawberries

In a saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips and shortening, stirring constantly until smooth. Rinse strawberries and dry completely. Dip into chocolate. Place on waxed paper to harden.
