My friend gave me this "recipe" and we gave it a try last night. So good!
It's quite simple.
Take chicken, any kind, and spread with mayo, then dip in rice krispies. Bake as you usually do and enjoy.
I cut large boneless skinless breasts into serving size pieces. I mixed some seasoning salt into my mayo, spread it on the chicken, then pressed it into a bowl of cereal. I baked it at 375 for about 20 minutes. Turned out great.
Next time, I will try some different spices. YUM!
Let me know if you try any good combos.

2 cups frozen raspberries (I used mixed berries)
1 cup thawed Cool Whip whipped topping
Add boiling water to gelatin mix in large bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add berries; stir until gelatin starts to thicken. Stir 1/2 cup gelatin mixture into cool whip with whisk until well blended; spoon into 4 dessert dishes. Cover with remaining gelatin mixture. Refridgerate 15. min or until set.
We made this recipe last night and it took me maybe five minutes to make. It was so easy and the boys loved it (as did Mike)!

Easy Pasta Salad
Easy Pasta Salad
Ingredients:
Pasta (spiral, elbow, whatever you want)
Olives
Broccoli
Cucumber
Cheese
Onion (I used red but you can use whatever)
Tomatoes
Ranch Dressing
Italian Dressing
Parmesan Cheese
Chicken
Pepperoni
Cook the pasta according to directions on the box. Rinse and drain the noodles and transfer to a big bowl. Cut up whatever you want in your pasta. I put some or all of the above ingredients. The pasta in the picture has chicken but if we have pepperoni we use that. The last thing I do is add the Italian and Ranch dressing and then the Parmesan Cheese. Mix it all together and enjoy!

Pumpkin Spice Muffins
I was recently invited by the Mia Maids to attend a "mommy spa" service they were giving. They had little stations set up for hair, nails, and chair massages. It was very cute and appreciated by us mommas! Anyway, they served these EASY muffins and sparkling juice to us as well.
Here's the recipe:
1 15 oz can pumpkin
1 box Spice Cake mix


That's it. Just add those two ingredients together and you'll have a muffin. Put it into muffin tins and bake at the temp the cake mix recommends. And the bonus? Someone there said these were only around 50 calories per muffin. Now the problem is only having one...
I sweetened some of mine up a little and added cream cheese frosting while they were still warm. They were great either way.
Quick and easy FHE treat or afterschool snack! Enjoy!

Panko Bread Crumbs

Anyone else been living under a rock? I just discovered Panko Bread Crumbs this week. These are not your average bread crumbs--MUCH better. They aren't seasoned, but add your own and voila! I made fish and chips with these bread crumbs last night and they were perfect! I battered our cod, then rolled it in panko and a little cajun seasoning. Yummy!
Anyway, give these bread crumbs a try if you haven't already. Totally worth it - and they're inexpensive and not hard to find.

Cheesy Potato Soup
Cheesy Potato Soup
5 cups diced potatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
3 cups water
3 chicken bullion cubes
Boil 15 minutes
White Sauce:
3/4 cups butter
3/4 cups flour
4 cups milk
8-12 oz Velvetta Cheese
Add the white sauce to the potatoes and other veggies after they are cooked. Cut the cheese into small pieces and then stir into the potato/white sauce mixture. Cook over medium heat until cheese is fully melted.
*Mike really likes things salted so you can add salt if the bullion isn't enough salt for you. You could also put in a clove of garlic is you want but we don't usually do that.

7-Layer Cookies
I'm not sure if I've posted this already but I don't think I have. This is Mike's favorite cookie recipe. I don't usually use measurements on this recipe. Just put as much of each ingredient as you want. For the chips we usually use about a half a bag of both chocolate and butterscotch chips. The coconut I just use enough to cover the top. Add more or less as you like it. This recipe came from my friend Heather Boden.
7 Layer cookies
1 stick butter
Graham crackers (I use about a package and a half, more or less)
walnuts or other nuts (I don't usually have nuts so I don't do this and it takes fine)
chocolate chips
butterscotch chips
coconut
sweetened condensed milk (it calls for a whole can but it will sometimes be too soggy so we use 1/2 -3/4 a can)
Melt butter and crush graham crackers. Mix together then press onto bottom of 9x13 inch pan. Next you just layer all the ingredients. Start with the chocolate chips and end with the sweetened condensed milk. Cook in over at 350 degrees until lightly brown.
