<a href="http://thesadleirs.blogspot.com/2011/10/eeek-spiders-are-coming.html">Remember when Heather introduced us to these little beauties?</a> <br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
5 1/4 cups coco krispies<br />
10 ounce bag of miniature marshmallows, reserve 20 of so for the eyes<br />
3 Tbsp. butter<br />
pretzel sticks<br />
candy eyes<br />
<br />
First make the rice krispies like usual. Melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat until smooth. Take off the heat and add the coco krispies. Pat into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Let cool a few minutes then take a circle cookie cutter and cut out the spider bodies. Take a knife and poke a hole where you'd like the legs to go and then insert the pretzels into the spaces. Flatten some marshmallows for the eyes and add candy eyes on top.<br />
<br />
So adorable and perfect for Halloween! Thanks again Heather! <br />

<br />
Ingredients for Cookies:<br />
<br />
1/2 cup butter, room temperature<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 tsp. vanilla<br />
2 1/2 cups flour<br />
1/2 tsp. salt<br />
1/4 tsp. baking soda<br />
<br />
Ingredients for Frosting:<br />
8 oz. cream cheese, softened<br />
2 Tbsp. butter, softened<br />
1/2 cup white chocolate chips<br />
1 Tbsp. milk<br />
4 Tbsp. strawberry puree<br />
3 to 4 cups powdered sugar<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
To make the cookies, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla. Whisk together flour, salt and baking soda in a separate bowl. Add in wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Spread into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. The cookies should be lightly golden and a toothpick should come out clean.<br />
<br />
For the frosting, use an electric mixer to mix together the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. In a small bowl mix the chocolate chips and milk. Melt in the microwave for 30 second intervals until smooth and melted through. Make sure you mix after each interval. Add the chocolate mixture to the cream cheese mixture. Start adding in the powdered sugar until you like the consistency. Mix in the strawberry puree.<br />
<br />
<br />
These are so yummy! I love sugar cookies!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 cups water</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
3 Tbsp (heaping) yeast<br />
1 Tbsp sugar<br />
2 cubes (1 cup) butter<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
2/3 cup powdered milk<br />
1 Tbsp salt<br />
12 cups flour<br />
6 eggs<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
Directions:<br />
Put 2 cups of water on to boil. Mix together 1 cup warm water, 3 Tbsp. yeast and 1 Tbsp. sugar and set aside. Melt the butter and mix in 1 cup of sugar, powdered milk and salt. Add in the 2 cups of boiling water. Mix in 4 cups of flour, then the six eggs and the yeast mixture. Add the remaining flour until you get a nice dough consistency (about 8 cups).<br />
<br />
Knead the dough until nice and soft. Let rise until double, about one hour. Punch down and then form rolls. Place on a greased pan and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 more hour). Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.<br />
<br />
Makes about 60 rolls.<br />
<br />
<br />
*If you don't want to bake all 60 rolls right away, it works great to divide the dough into quarters and freeze each portion in a gallon freezer bag. Then when you want to bake it, let the bag of dough thaw on the counter until it reaches room temperature and is puffy. Then you can form the rolls from there.<br />

I've been a really busy grandma! If you need a wonderful side dish, you should try this Mushroom Rice. My grandchildren absolutely loved it and the adults did too!<br /><br />Ingredients:<br />2 Tbsp. butter<br />1/2 cup onion, chopped<br />1 cup sliced mushrooms<br />3 cups beef broth<br />1/2 cup apple juice<br />1 Tbsp. white vinegar<br />3/4 tsp. kosher salt<br />1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper<br />2 cups long grain rice, uncooked<br /><br />Directions:<br /><br />Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms. Continue cooking until onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender. Remove from heat. Combine remaining ingredients in the pan. Transfer mixture into 9x13 dish. Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir before serving.<br /><br />This side dish is delicious and can be found in <a href="www.ourbestbites.com">"Our Best Bites"</a> cookbook.The Cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575373581178670374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194864669236030574.post-19150852207793341412010-10-24T16:17:00.000-07:002011-11-14T11:54:21.335-08:00Black Bottom Cupcakes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQnmQXyuosPOWSqJbYJA90QMncM7YSl0OukI8RYVe5g99VpChqPzXZBTS8xzgR8g8RDSglPyqu1wPteMtB-HULmUcf9Cwbw-ED55SsYjVBGxrOFfdTGZ46Udt_1OTm959QThBUfJwhmpk/s1600/DSC_0012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQnmQXyuosPOWSqJbYJA90QMncM7YSl0OukI8RYVe5g99VpChqPzXZBTS8xzgR8g8RDSglPyqu1wPteMtB-HULmUcf9Cwbw-ED55SsYjVBGxrOFfdTGZ46Udt_1OTm959QThBUfJwhmpk/s320/DSC_0012.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531755958696598306" /></a><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 30.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">Ingredients: </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">8 ounces package of cream cheese, softened</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1 egg </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1/3 cup sugar </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1⁄2 tsp. salt </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1 package of chocolate chips </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1 1⁄2 cups flour </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1 cup sugar </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1 tsp. baking soda </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1⁄4 cup cocoa </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1⁄2 tsp. salt </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1 cup water </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1/3 cup oil </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1 Tbsp. vinegar </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">1 tsp. vanilla</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 30px; ">Directions:</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trajan Pro'; color: #241e20">Mix cream cheese, egg, 1/3 cup of sugar, salt and chocolate chips together and set aside.

If necessary, trim the tortillas to fit a 9-inch spring form pan, using the bottom of the pan as a guide. Set aside. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, jalapeno, Ortega chiles, garlic, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened. Add the beans and water to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes until the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the corn and green onions and remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Fit a trimmed tortilla in the bottom of the spring form pan; layer with one quarter of the beans and sprinkle with cheese. Repeat three more times. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until hot and the cheese is melted. Take the pie out of the mold. Sprinkle with green onions. Slice into wedges and serve immediately.<br /><br />I made two pies, but only had one spring form pan... I just trimmed the tortillas down to fit into another cake pan. So even if you don't have a spring form pan you can still make this fabulous recipe.<br /><br />I found this recipe over at <a href="http://annemarie-tastebuds.blogspot.com/2009/07/tortilla-and-black-bean-pie.html">Tastebuds</a>, but added the can of Ortega chiles to the recipe.<span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span>The Cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575373581178670374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194864669236030574.post-81315127014196583522010-05-23T18:36:00.000-07:002010-05-23T18:50:50.008-07:00Pavlova<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfkmWJ3M9hy3rfGsWDMcLajKmf6z0eBg4DHFRwifz7paUqF7_8Nf2bzDifc1K_ItFDLqFit9woQiGCYPXl7Tn8fGR-Rw7FqZVrQtLyi3B3KTJ7ek8qt5hIMcmzGGjIYpUP_drWBrIoymE/s1600/P1010506.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfkmWJ3M9hy3rfGsWDMcLajKmf6z0eBg4DHFRwifz7paUqF7_8Nf2bzDifc1K_ItFDLqFit9woQiGCYPXl7Tn8fGR-Rw7FqZVrQtLyi3B3KTJ7ek8qt5hIMcmzGGjIYpUP_drWBrIoymE/s320/P1010506.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474645474674071618" border="0" /></a>*READ ENTIRE RECIPE BEFORE STARTING*<br /></div><br />Ingredients:<br />4 egg whites<br />1 cup sugar<br />2 tsp. cornstarch<br />½ tsp. vanilla<br />1 tsp. white vinegar<br />Whipped cream<br />Fruit of choice - Examples: strawberries, kiwi, bananas, canned passion fruit…<br /><br />Directions:<br /><br />Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Beat egg whites until stiff soft peaks form. Continue beating; gradually add sugar, vinegar and vanilla, until you get a thick consistency. Test to see if the sugar is fully dissolved by rubbing a little of the meringue between you thumb and index finger. The meringue should feel smooth, not gritty. Beat until smooth. Lightly fold in cornstarch with spatula. Cover a large baking pan with parchment paper. You can also use foil, buttered lightly or use non-stick cooking spray.<br /><br />Pile the meringue mixture into a circular shape or make mini ones. Smooth edges and make sure they are slightly higher than the center. You want a slight well in the center to place the whipped cream and fruit.<br /><br />Turn oven down to 225 to 250 degrees and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool.<br /><br />Cut up fruit into bite size pieces. Spread whipped cream in the center and top with fruit. If using bananas, put them on first and then add the whipped cream followed by the rest of the fruit. This helps keep the bananas from turning brown.<br /><br />Drizzle with passion fruit syrup if available.<br /><br /><br />*Sometimes I have found this in British stores in cans or you could use fresh passion fruit juice, but it does get a little pricey.The Cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575373581178670374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7194864669236030574.post-47735872232128425132010-04-09T11:41:00.000-07:002010-04-09T12:09:24.480-07:00Raspberry Biscuits (NEW!!!)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73ua2nE50ojr5bzuwMsf5Oc5gjkPbdqZaGozkEkGWGcBYQW7qe3-7AKRmB9Q7Ty0czgUGdnlG5Si7Oq9GK8To7pyZLg386c-BijmT7jVyhPcKDVuDtUfx8c53DwaPq2U0-ArBdZhgEHc/s1600/P1010307.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73ua2nE50ojr5bzuwMsf5Oc5gjkPbdqZaGozkEkGWGcBYQW7qe3-7AKRmB9Q7Ty0czgUGdnlG5Si7Oq9GK8To7pyZLg386c-BijmT7jVyhPcKDVuDtUfx8c53DwaPq2U0-ArBdZhgEHc/s320/P1010307.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458210583768019762" border="0" /></a><br />Ingredients:<br /> 2 cups Bisquick<br /> 2 Tbsp.

<br />2 eggs, at room temperature
<br />3 1/2 cups flour
<br />1/2 tsp. baking soda
<br />1/2 tsp. salt
<br />6 - 1.4 ounce bars of chocolate covered toffee (Skor candy bars), crushed
<br />
<br />Glaze Ingredients:
<br />1/4 cup butter
<br />1/2 cup packed brown sugar
<br />2 to 3 Tbsp. milk
<br />1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
<br />1/3 cup milk chocolate chips
<br />1/3 cup white chocolate chips
<br />
<br />Directions:
<br />
<br />Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Combine together the dry ingredients and set aside. Beat the first four cookie ingredients together on medium speed until light and fluffy. On low speed, mix in the dry ingredients. Reserve 1/3 of candy bar pieces for topping the cookies and pour the rest of the candy bar pieces into the dough. Shape dough into one-inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, one inch apart.<span style="font-size:100%;"> Bake for 10 or 11 minutes. <span style=""> </span>This is a drier cookie so do not over bake them.<span style=""> </span>Immediately remove to a cooling rack.
<br />
<br />For the glaze:
<br />In a saucepan heat the butter, brown sugar and milk over med-low heat; stirring frequently until the mixture just comes to a boil and sugar is dissolved. Stir in the powdered sugar. Beat with a wire whisk to remove lumps. Immediately dip the tops of cookies in the glaze (cookies do not need to be completely cooled, just firm and set). Be careful the glaze is very hot. Place back on the rack and let stand about 10 minutes until the glaze is set. (If glaze starts to thicken or set in the pan just reheat it over med-low heat and stir with a whisk.)
<br />
<br />Place milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in separate bowls and heat 15 to 30 seconds in microwave to melt, stir frequently. Place melted chocolate in plastic bags and snip a little bit off of the corner (or use a spoon) and drizzle over cookies. Top with remaining candy pieces.</span>

Cook Turkey in the oven and when almost done pour about 2 cups of so of the dripping out into the dressing mixture.<br /><br /> Beat eggs and add to the dressing mixture. Mix well and then add some of the liquid from the sauce pan with the cooked neck, into the dressing. The dressing should not be dry, but it should not be liquidy either. Add sage, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper to taste. Taste to see if you need more sage.<br /><br />Put dressing into two 9 x 13 inch pans and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour or until done. You will probably need to cover the top with foil towards the end so that the dressing does not burn.The Cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575373581178670374noreply@blogger.com0
