Tasty Treat Thursday w.6!

Guess What!? Its that time again...
Time to link up with Mallorie and I, and post your favorite recipe!

You see, my step-mom is crazy in love with the chocolate candies, Rolos (not to be confused with Rolaids - cough- grandaddy! haha He couldnt figure out why we made cookies with "Rolaids" in them hahahahah!) ... anyways. Like I was saying, she loooves these chocolates to say the least. So, being the good daughter that I am, I looked up recipes to make her for her birthday on the trusty Pinterest.com for anything with Rolo's... up came some delicious looking images to which I easily followed the link...

here is what we went with...

                                                                                              Source: sixsistersstuff.blogspot.com via Allie on Pinterest

Pinterest sent me to Six Sisters Stuff to learn how to bake these cookies and not only were they sooo tasty but they are also beautiful.  Needless to say, we all (including the stepmom) loved them!!! :)

The recipe couldn't be any easier

you need:

1 box of Devils food cake mix

2 eggs

1/3 cup of oil

1 bag of Rolo's

(optional: Powered sugar)

mix well

then use just enough of the batter to cover the Rolo (so it can melt when baked)

 bake at 350 for 7-8 minutes on a greased cookie sheet

sprinkle with powdered sugar if your heart desires... (ours made exactly 3 dozen!)

Tasty Treat Thursday w.5

We are back!! Due to my birthday last week, I am sorry we missed you!

Guess what time it is!?
Time to link up with Mallorie and I, and post your favorite recipe!

This is probably the EASIEST dinner you will ever make! No lie!

Easy Italian Chicken with Green Beans and Potatoes
My rommate in college taught me how to make this about 8 years ago and I love it! Its so good and so simple... oh and you can make it and only dirty one dish! That sounds like the perfect dinner to me! Here we go...

Ingredients:
Chicken breasts or tenders (I use frozen)
Green Beans (I use canned with no salt)
Sliced Potatoes (I used canned again and I promise they are yummy)
Italian dressing seasoning packet (found on the salad dressing isle- usually on a top shelf)
Cooking spray
Tin foil

Directions: 
(I usually put all of this in one pyrex dish to cook-as explained below- but I split it up tonight because I was making more than usual-as the pictures show.  It all comes out the same except for tonight I had one more dish to clean. Just didn't want you to be confused if the images and directions don't perfectly match up)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Spray dish with cooking spray
Put chicken in middle of dish
put beans on one side of chicken
put potatoes on other side of chicken
sprinkle italian seasoning packet evenly over all of the dish
cover dish with foil
bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes (or until chicken is fully cooked-- **this cooking time is for frozen breasts- vary time for fresh**)
&
WAH-LAH! A delicious, super easy dinner is ready to enjoy!

I usually serve with canned biscuits... mmm! :)

In celebration of Fall being just around the corner I started my morning with a Pumpkin Spiced Frap at Starbucks and oh did it make me crave a little cooler weather...

speaking of cooler weather how about a little crock pot meal thats perfect for fall {or anytime really!}

Crock-Pot Chicken and Dumplings Pot-Pie

Ingredients: 

4 chicken breasts (I used boneless skinless, frozen)

2 cans of condensed cream of chicken soup (I used low-fat)

1 can of corn

fresh carrots

1/2 sweet onion

2 Tablespoons of butter

2 10oz cans of refrigerated biscuit dough 

Directions:

Put in crockpot: chix, cans of soup, sliced carrots, deiced onion, and fill with enough water (or chick/veggie stock) to cover all. (Add seasonings if you wish) Cook on high for about 6 hours.  About 30 minutes before done cooking take a fork and break apart the parts of chicken into bite size pieces,  add can of corn. Cut biscuit dough into strips and place covering top (its okay if they sink or touch each other).  In about 15 minutes push dough under to absorb some liquid/flavor.  Serve hot! 

-This recipe was sooo easy and really you can add seasonings if you wish (I added some random ones) and you could do with or without veggies, adding the ones you like and omitting ones you dont- or you could forgo them all together. You choose :) 

This recipe made about 8 servings so we froze 1/2 of it for a later date and all that we will have to do is warm it up! :)

K LOVED this and so did I! We will def. be doing this again! 

ENJOY!

Tasty Treat Thursday w.3

Guess What!? It's that time again...
Time to link up with Mallorie and I, and post your favorite recipe!

Chicken Pasta in White Wine Garlic Sauce
first of all, I have to admit that this is brought to you by the HUBS!! 
He totally treated me on Monday night with this awesome meal... not to mention cleaning the house, unloading the dishwasher, reloading the dishwasher, cleaning our sweet youngin', getting her all ready for bed, and entertaining her until my "show" (ahem, you know... my guilty please- Bachelor Pad) was over!! He rocks my world but thats no new news! 

I'm normally not huge on pasta but this dish was seriously scrumptious (or I wouldn't share it with ya'll-duh ha)
We served with Garlic Cheese bread (and skipped the salad)... double YUM! 

K told me he found this on "google" so there's my source ;) 

Drooling yet??

This week I am posting one of my Freezer Meals that I posted about a couple of weeks ago.  I cooked it for the first time last night and we LOVED it!!! Let me tell you- this dish was delicious... (Maybe even my new favorite go-to meal)! 

Cilantro/Lime Chicken (with black beans and corn)

 (the following makes two freezer meals- aka 2 ziplocks)

6 chicken breasts (or 12 chicken tenders)

3 Tbs olive oil
2 limes, juiced
2 cups cilantro
1 large bag of frozen corn (or two smaller bags)
4 minced garlic cloves
1 finely chopped red onion
2 cans of black beans, rinsed
2 tsp cumin or chipotle powder
salt/pepper to taste
 

split between two bags, seal, mix, lay flat, freeze

Directions for bags: 

cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours, serve with hot tortillas or tostitos. Dress with sour cream, guacamole, and/or cheese

*about 3o minutes before it was done I squeezed in 1/2 a lime and then threw the lime in too*

*I topped the chicken with mexican blend cheese and squeezed some lime over it then put a dollop of sour cream on top! (I love lime- can you tell?)
