MOVING!

Since the summer is over and I am getting busier with less time to cook (sad).

I will just be posting recipes to my personal blog from time to time.

Birthday Oreo Cake Bites


STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW AND RUN TO THE STORE ASAP.

These are the most amazing things in the world and YOU MUST TRY THEM.

The finale of the Bachelorette was last night and I wanted to make Scott a little treat for putting up with me watching the show every Monday night this summer. 

I stumbled upon this recipe and thought it looked easy enough.

Not only is it easy, it is the most delicious thing you will ever put in your mouth. 

I love cake bites. For the past two years Scott has gotten me 2 dozen of them from my fav bakery in Provo. 

These just might be a new (cheaper) replacement.

AND ALL YOU NEED ARE THREE INGREDIENTS 

Sorry for all of the shouting but as my husband said last night, "you need to tell the whole entire world about these"

Ok enough blabber.


One pack of birthday Oreos, one pack of Candiquik vanilla chocolate, and one 8oz package of cream cheese.

Oh and I added sprinkles

Now if you have a food processor this will be easy. Put the Oreos in and crush them.

But since I have a limited kitchen this summer, I did it by hand.

I split the Oreos into three ziplock bags.


And Scott and I smashed them to pieces


Pour the crushed Oreos into a bowl


Break up the cream cheese and add to the bowl.

This is much easier when the cream cheese is room temp.


Then miix it all together.


Then divide into 18 little balls.



Store those babies in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Right before time is up, melt your chocolate.

Candiquik is the best because it comes with a tray for the microwave


One and a half to two minutes later...


Take your bites out of the freezer and dip them in the chocolate.

Then add sprinkles if you want!


Put them in the freezer for another 10 minutes.

Then, take them out and dig in!



Enjoy!!




Crispy Cheddar Chicken


I cannot believe we leave Arizona in less than two weeks! I feel like we just got here!

The next couple of meals will be me desperately trying to get rid of everything we have accumulated in our kitchen over the summer. 

Here is what you need:


3 chciken breasts, 3/4 cups of milk, 1 cup sour cream, 2 sleeves of ritz crackers, 2 cups of shredded cheese,  1 can of cream of chicken soup, 2 tablespoons of butter, salt and pepper. 

Preheat oven to 400

Cut each breast into three pieces.


Then put your milk, cheese, and crushed up ritz into three separate bowls


Then dip the chicken in milk


Then the cheese


(Press the cheese into the chicken so it sticks)

Then roll around in your crumbs and place in a baking dish.


Then repeat for all the chicken!


Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 35-45 minutes.

About 5 minutes before the chicken is ready put your cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and butter in a saucepan and stir until it is combined and hot!

When your chicken is ready, take it out, and pour sauce on top!





Enjoy!

Any Pie Filling Cobbler


I loooove cobbler. And this recipe is soooo delicious and sooo easy.

I may have had it for breakfast this morning...

Here is what you need.


1/2 cup of butter, 1 cup sugar. 3/4 cup flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 cup milk, and any 21 oz can of pie filling. I got peach. Duh.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Put your butter in your pie dish and pop it in the oven to melt.

While that's in there, mix your sugar, flour, baking powder and salt.


Once it is all mixed together, add your milk and whisk until it is consistent.


Your butter should be all nice and melty so take it out of the oven.


Then take your batter and pour it on top of the butter. Do not stir!


Then open your filling up and spoon it on top of your batter. Once again don't stir!

I started in the middle and worked my way out.




If (and by if I mean when) I make this recipe again I would use more filling!

Then put it in the oven for 45-60 minutes.

Mine was ready after 45.

Take it out when the top is browned and the filling is bubbling.


Serve it hot!



And with ice cream!


Enjoy!

Blueberry French Toast Casserole


We had the missionaries over for dinner last night and they requested breakfast food.

Which is not my thing. 

This is pretty much the only breakfasty thing I can make.

My mom got this recipe from a friend and people usually like it. 

So naturally, I didn't really have another choice. 

Here is what you will need:


2 dozen rolls, 8oz package of cream cheese, 6 tablespoons of butter, 8 eggs, 1/2 cups of frozen or fresh blueberries, cinnamon, and 3/4 cups of maple syrup.

I grew up with my mom using challah bread instead of the rolls. But I cant find that anywhere, let alone anyone who knows what that is, so I use King's Hawaiian Rolls.

Preheat the oven to 350.

Take a dozen of your rolls and cut them in to fourths. And then cover the bottom of a baking dish with them



Then chop up for cream cheese and layer it over your bread.




Then take your blueberries and put those on top!


Then cut up the remaining bread and sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon on top!


Then in a bowl mix together the eggs, milk, butter, and syrup.



And then using a spatula gently press down on the bread so the mixture soaks through.

Cover with foil and refrigerate it overnight.

Bake uncovered for 45 minutes




Enjoy!
