Chicken Salad

This was a really good recipe, I just used the canned chicken and it was delicious. We just put it on wheat bread like sandwiches.

Almond Blondies

Today is a monumental day. I was actually in the kitchen cooking!!! This is the first thing I have cooked in 2 months! I have been super sick with morning sickness and haven't been able to cook. I am starting to feel a little better and decided to make dessert for family night tonight. I saw this recipe in a magazine and had to try it.

2 cups packed brown sugar

2/3 cup butter, cut up

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 1/2 cups chopped almonds

Preheat oven 350. Grease 9x13 pan. In medium sauce pan heat brown sugar and butter until butter melts. Cool slightly. Add eggs. Then add vanilla, flour, baking powder and baking soda.

Spread in pan and sprinkle with almonds. Bake 25-30 minutes.

Mexican Tortilla Wraps

This is one of my favorite finger foods to take when I need to take food to a party or something. They are really easy to make and super tasty.




Ingredients:
2 cups of shredded cheese (I used a Mexican mix).
1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese, softened
4 oz of chopped black olives
4 oz of chopped green chilies
Salsa to taste (sorry, don't have an exact amount)
1/2 a bunch green onions, sliced

You mix everything together, and then spread it onto flour tortillas. Roll up the tortillas, refrigerate, and slice.

Tomato and Basil Pasta

This one is for Amy with her abundance of tomatoes and basil. Mom and I made this the other day and it turned out pretty good. I think you could grill a piece of chicken to cut up in it and it would be tasty too. We put more Parmesan cheese on top because we are both believers that there is never too much Parmesan!

Babyback Ribs

I have never made ribs, but decided to make some for Lincoln's birthday this year. Tonight we had the 2nd 1/2 of the ribs I froze and I decided you all should try this recipe. I couldn't get Lucy to stop eating. She kept asking me why I wasn't filling myself up and I told her that I did. She wants me to go buy more tomorrow so we can have them again. :) We used Stubbs BBQ sauce and it was yummy!

Campfire Cones

You just grab anything that you love and put it in a cone.
We used

• milk chocolate chips
• peanut butter chips
• golden grams
• waffle cones

Put everything in the cone and wrap it in tin foil. Put it on the fire and let it all melt together. They are super good, easy, and surprisingly not messy at all. We will be making these again :)
