Put oreo cookies as next layer don't press then in to hard but make sure they will stay.
Mix brownie mix and lay that on top of the other two layers. Bake on temp of brownie mix for 35 min. Brownies may still seem soft in middle but will harden as they cool off.

Grilled Potatoes

Submitted by Jessica Kannes.

Ok, so this really can be done two different ways with an array of different spices/herbs to complement the potatoes.

Ingredients/Supplies:

Potatoes-I use Idaho(However many you need to feed your family)
Olive Oil
Butter
Foil

Flavors:
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Onions
Bacon
Rosemary
Dill
Any spice/herb you like

Directions:

"Foil Potatoes"

Wash or peel your potatoes. Cut up as many potatoes as you like into chunks. I throw them into a bowl with a little bit of olive oil and my spices/herbs. Toss them to coat. Take two sheets of foil and lay them down on top of eachother. Pour the potatoes in the center. Add a few dabs of butter if you like. Top with two more peices of foil. (Only one for each if you have heavy duty foil) Fold into a packet and throw onto the grill. Grill for 15 minutes, flip them and grill for 15 more minutes.

Grilled "baked" Potatoes

Wash your potatoes. Cut them in half. Add salt, pepper and any of your spices/herbs to each cut side. Place a dab of butter on one half and place them together. Wrap in foil and throw on the grill. Bake for 45-60 minutes. (Depending on the size of your potatoes)


*My favorite flavor combination is salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary. So yummy!!

Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers

Stuffed Jalapeno Poppers - Krissy Lynn


12 large jalapeno peppers
1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
6 thick slices bacon

Slice peppers from stem to tip on 1 side. Carefully squeeze ends of pepper (like a change purse) and scoop out seeds and veins with a small spoon. Stuff each pepper with shredded cheese. Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap each pepper with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

Preheat grill. Grill peppers 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until bacon is cooked, but not crisp.

Remove from grill and serve while hot.

Easy Salsa

This was submitted by Jessica Kannes. I would rather make this than buy salsa! It costs less than $5 to make and it makes about double the size of a regular salsa jar you would buy in the store.


Fresh, Easy, Salsa!

10 Plum Tomatoes, seeds removed and chopped (as big or small as you like)
2-4 Cloves of garlic, minced
1 Small onion, chopped (I chop mine pretty fine)
1-2 Jalapenos, finely chopped
2-3 tablespoons minced cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
salt and pepper to your liking

Put your chopped onion and garlic in a strainer, pour 2 cups boiling water over them and let drain thoroughly. Discard the water. Let them cool.

Place your tomatoes in a medium bowl. Add the onions and garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix well. Refridgerate for 2-4 hours to blend flavors.

Enjoy with tortilla chips or on your tacos!

Kid Friendly Chicken Spaghetti

This recipe was submitted by April Fitzsimon.

Kid Friendly Chicken Spaghetti

3-4 skinless chicken breast boiled and chopped
2 cans cream of mushroom or cream of chicken your choice
1 bag frozen mixed veggies I use steam in bag and cook 1/2 the time it says to to help make it faster
4 cups rotini pasta cooked
Shredded cheese

Take the chicken and sauté it in a little butter and I add a little garlic. Add the veggies and soup. Mix all together heat for about 10min stirring occasionally. Then mix the chicken mix into the noodles and spread it into a 9 x 13 pan cover with cheese and put in oven on 350 cook 20 min.

Sometimes I will chop up some broccoli and maybe a little bell pepper and add as well for more veggies.

Molten Chocolate Cakes

Recipe submitted by Jessica Kannes

Molten Chocolate Cakes

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter or unsalted margarine*
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, or bars, cut into bite-size chunks
5 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
4 teaspoons flour (or matzo meal, ground in a blender to a fine powder)
8 extra-large paper muffin cups (or use regular paper muffin cups, which will make 12 cakes)

Directions
  1. Melt butter and chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water; remove from heat. Beat eggs, sugar and salt with a hand mixer in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Beat egg mixture into chocolate until smooth. Beat in flour or matzo meal until just combined. (Batter can be made a day ahead; return to room temperature an hour or so before baking.)
  2. Before serving dinner, adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a standard-size muffin tin (1/2 cup capacity) with 8 extra-large muffin papers (papers should extend above cups to facilitate removal). Spray muffin papers with vegetable cooking spray. Divide batter among muffin cups.
  3. Bake until batter puffs but center is not set, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully lift cakes from tin and set on a work surface. Pull papers away from cakes and transfer cakes to dessert plates.               

*I found that if you scoop it into the muffin tin and refridgerate it for a little while they come out a little better. Just a tip!! Absolutely LOVE this recipe!!
