Easy and Yummy Cookies

I made these the other day for the first time in a while and since I have the recipe memorized, I thought I'd put it on here. :)

1 box yellow cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
chocolate chips (as many as you want)

Mix all ingredients and bake at 350 for 7-9 minutes. Do not over bake!

These are yummy and fast! If I ever see cake mixes go on sale for a great deal (sometimes like 69 cents!) I stock up so I have them on hand for making a quick batch of cookies.

ok are you ready?

FRIED ICE CREAM! :) minus the fried haha.

(this is not my original recipe, stolen from Cami Clay.)

Vanilla Ice cream.
cinnamon & sugar mix.
frosted flakes.

get a handful of vanilla ice cream (if you're cold blooded like me, have someone else do this part)
smash it into a ball.
roll it in the cinnamon & sugar.
Crush up the frosted flakes. Roll the ball of cinnamon covered ice cream into the frosted flakes until covered.

put back into freezer until hardened. ENJOY!!!! :)

Chicken Pot Pie

(from Jill - from Michelle)

1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
3 cups cooked, cubed chicken [I boiled the chicken, then cut them up... and so did Jill]
2 cups (1 can) chicken broth
1 chicken boullion cube
2/3 cup milk
10 oz. frozen veggies (or a mix of frozen veggies and fresh carrots and celery as well....boil the vegetables a bit before adding them in, so they soft)
2 refrigerated Pillsbury pie crusts

1. Melt butter, add onion, flour and slowly add broth, boullion, milk, and cook until thick.
2. Add spices, chicken, and veggies to the mixture, and pour into pie plate lined with one crust.
3. Place the second crust on top, pinch together the edges, slit the top to vent and wrap the edges in foil (if you want to) to keep them from browning too much. [I didn't use the foil - and it turned out perfectly golden brown and crispy.]
4. Bake at 400 until golden brown - about 45-60 minutes.


Someday I will get myself a pie pan. Never had one... might just need one! :O)

I'm sorry there are not pictures right now... my batteries are charging. The pot pie pics might be uploaded with the Europe pics! haha.

Potato Wedges

My appetizer:

Potato Wedges
Preheat oven to 400

Get as many potatoes as you need or are hungry for.

Cut into fourths long ways.

Spread out on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

Season with salt & pepper.

Bake for 30-40 min. or until they are cooked to your liking.

Enjoy with lots of ketchup.

Cheesecake

Well, Mindy and Traci can tell you if they loved this cheese cake or not. Personally, it is my favorite ever (maybe cause it's what I grew up with). I seriously like it better than any other cheesecake I've tasted (other than Cheesecake Factory, I suppose). Plus, it is the easiest thing in the world to make.

1 graham cracker crust
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 8 oz. brick cream cheese
1/3 cup lemon juice

mix last three ingredients and pour into crust

let chill over night and all day till it's time for dessert

Enjoy plain or with whatever toppings you want.
