1/4 c. creamy peanut butter
3 T cocoa

Strawberry Jam Tarts

For the Pastry:
 5 c. flour
2 t. salt
1 t. baking powder
3 T brown sugar
1 lb crisco (if you have a 3 lb can just use 1/3 of the can)
1 egg
2 T white vinegar
1 c. COLD water

Your favorite jam----I use my moms homemade strawberry jam on these and it's delicious

For the Cream Topping
1 (8 oz) block soft cream cheese
1/4 c. soft butter
3/4 c. powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla

Pastry directions:
Measure the flour, salt, baking powder, and brown sugar, and mix together. Add the crisco and cut it into the mixture until it looks like crumbs. Add the well beaten egg and the vinegar, and then slowly add the cold water into it while mixing with your hands. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. (Each part makes 2 full pie crusts.) Wrap the extra dough in plastic wrap. (It will last for 2 weeks in the fridge, or you can just freeze the dough balls and use them again whenever, they last for a LONG time.) Roll out the dough that you are going to use and cut into flower shapes (or whichever type of cookie cutter you want) and place the dough pieces into cupcake tins. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Cool.

While the tarts are baking whip all of the cream frosting ingredients together (minus the jam.)

Once the tarts are partially cooled spoon a generous amount of jelly onto the warm tart, and then add a dollop of the cream frosting on top This recipe makes a LOT of tarts, I normally split the recipe in 1/2 or in 1/4's instead of freezing the dough (for lack of freezer space.) (However I do still use the same amount of cream frosting on the recipe...) Enjoy!

Candy Bar Smoothie

Ok, so this is one of those recipes that comes in handy after Halloween, when theres SO Much extra chocolate you dont know what to do with it :) (or.. you just want to borrow your kids candy).

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 c. chocolate ice cream
2 (2-3 ounces EACH) candy bars (of whatever kind you have) broken into pieces
2 c. ice cubes
In a blender combine the ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve immediately. But being the "food having to be visually attractive" person that I am... I always squirt some whipped cream and put shredded chocolate on top :) If you're like us.. you'll have to double the recipe too :) adpt. from mrfood.com

Deep Dish Pizza...Casserole?

1 lb ground beef
1 (15 oz) can chunky Italian style tomato sauce
mozzarella cheese
1/4 c. parmesan cheese (grated)
Pepperoni
Pizza dough recipe (here) or (10 oz) store bought refrigerated pizza dough

(Its best to have your pizza dough done first, I like to make it a day or two before and leave it in the refrigerator... they're just better that way) Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Cook the ground beef in a skillet until the meat crumbles. Drain. Add the tomato sauce into the ground beef and cook until heated through. Find a 13 x 9 pan and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Unroll your dough into the 13 x 9 pan and press into the bottom, as well as halfway up the sides of the pan. (If you dont press it up the sides when it cooks it will spill its contents over the side of the dough.. and we dont want that). RIGHT on top of the pizza dough put half of the cheese (yes on the bottom) and then pour your meat/sauce mixture on top and spread evenly. Bake LIKE THIS uncovered for about 12 minutes. Place the last half of the cheese on top of the pizza and add your pepperoni to the top of the cheese. Then sprinkle with the parmesan cheese. Bake for about 5 more minutes, or until the cheese melts and the crust is browned. Adapted from mrfood.com

Roasted Pecans

2 T butter
1/2 c. honey
sugar in the raw
pecans

On the stove bring the butter, and honey to a rolling boil (stirring frequently so it doesnt burn.) on a cookie sheet (preferable one with a rim on it) place your pecans (I normally use about a whole bag for this... enough to fill up the cookie sheet with minimal space between nuts.) on the cookie sheet and cook at 225 Degrees for about 10-15 minutes. (Check at 10 minutes, you want them to have that "I've been  baked taste." When the pecans are done in the oven pour the whole batch of nuts INTO the pot on the stove with the warm butter and honey (make sure you turn the heat off) and stir until fully coated. On your cookie sheet sprinkle some raw sugar. Spread the nuts/honey/butter mixture back onto the cookie sheet and coat with more raw sugar. You want there to be enough nuts to honey ratio that they are coated but not TOO coated with the honey. Sugar to taste.

Dip each roll or pocket into melted butter, and then directly roll in the bread crumbs. Place in a baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes in the oven, or until the chicken is browned and the juices are clear.

Peanut Butter Bars

First off... these are SO good. I used to make these when I had roommates... and then had to refrain, because I would put them in the fridge to cool off and come  back 20 minutes later to find out that my roommates had eaten them ALL without leaving me any haha. They tend to disappear quickly!!

1 (8 oz) cream cheese
1 egg yolk

combine all of the ingredients in the blender. blend on medium stopping to stir several times with a long spoon.

Girl Scout Samoa Cookies

Cookies:
1 c. butter softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1/2 t vanilla
2 c. flour
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt

Topping:
3 oz sweetened shredded coconut
12 oz bag of caramels
3 T milk
1/4 t salt
12 oz bag semisweet chocolate

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar together and then add the egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Pour the dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well with mixer. (I split this part into 2 or 3 batches--->) Roll the dough into between wax paper until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies using 1 1/2 inch cookie cutter (or just the top from one of your spice bottles). Use the end of a straw to punch holes in the center of cookies. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until bottoms are light brown.

Make topping by spreading coconut evenly on a baking sheet. Toast the coconut at 300 degrees for 5 minutes and then stir it. Put it in for 5 minutes again and then stir. Repeat 2 more times until the coconut has been in for roughly a total of 20 minutes until it is light brown. Let it cool.

Unwrap caramels and add them to a bowl with the milk and salt. Microwave high 3-4 minutes until smooth, stirring each minute. Stir in toasted coconut. Use a spatula to spread caramel coconut on each of the baked cookies.
When the topping sets up, then melt the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Dip the bottom side of each cookie into the chocolate and place it on wax paper with chocolate coated side down. Add remaining chocolate into a bag with the corner snipped off, or a pastry bag if you have one. Drizzle the chocolate over top of the cookies. Let cookies set. Enjoy :)

Snicker Salad

6 apples
6-7 snickers bars
1 jar whipped topping

Cut the apples up into small pieces and place in a bowl. (While I'm cutting them up I normally throw some of the whipped topping into the bowl as well and mix it, it keeps the apples from turning brown.) Cut the snickers into small pieces and place in the bowl. Mix in the whipped topping and refrigerate.

Fruit Dip

Plain Yogurt
Whipped Topping
Instant Vanilla Pudding Powder

Equal Amounts of Plain Yogurt and Whipped Topping mixed well together. Then mix in vanilla pudding powder to taste. Refrigerate and serve with fruit (Or just dip your finger into it like me :) )

Another good rendition of this recipe is to use Strawberry or Raspberry yogurt mixed with the whipped topping. No pudding powder needed for this one.

Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies

I don't know about you... but I used to be a girl scout so long ago. I have to admit... my favorite thing about it was the cookies. So, I've found a way to make a girl scout cookie thin mint (oh yes) recipe :) And I'm so excited about it that I had to put it on here. Yum Yum Yum.

1 egg
3 T water
Non stick cooking spray

Coating:
3 (12 oz) bags of semi sweet chocolate chips
3/4 t. peppermint extract
6 T shortening

Combine the cookie ingredients in a large bowl, adding the water a little bit at a time. When mixed and dough forms cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a portion of the dough to just under 1/16 of an inch thick (you know how thick they are :) )To cut, use the top of a spice shaker, or another top with a 1 1/2 inch diameter cutout. Put the cookie dough rounds on a lightly coated with cooking spray cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the wafers from the oven and cool completely.
Combine the chocolate chips with the peppermint extract and shortening and heat in the microwave, stir gently in 30 second intervals until smooth. Use a fork to dip each wafer in the chocolate, tap the fork on the edge of the bowl so extra chocolate drips off, then place the cookies side by side on a wax paper lined sheet. Refrigerate until firm. Makes roughly 100 cookies

Baked Steak Burritos

Cheesy Bread Sticks

1 1/2 c. warm water
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. yeast
1/2 tsp. salt
3-4 1/2 c. flour

Parmesan Cheese

Cheddar Cheese

Garlic Salt

Italian Seasoning

In a large bowl  combine water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes until the yeast is bubbly.Add salt and stir. Add 1 1/2 c. flour and mix well. Gradually add more flour (usually between 3-4 cups) until dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and it barely sticks to your finger Spray a glass or metal bowl (retains heat better) with cooking spray and place dough in the bowl. Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Remove from bowl and place on a lightly-floured surface. (if using this for pizza popper dough.... stop here.) Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Roll into a rectangle and cut into 12 strips with a pizza cutter. Sprinkle cheddar on top of each strip and press lightly to stick. Roll out each piece of dough into a snake and then drape over your forefinger and twist the dough. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining 11 pieces of dough. Cover pan and allow dough to rise for another 30 minutes. Before placing in the oven, drizzle melted butter across the top, and then sprinkle garlic salt, grated parmesan cheese, and italian seasoning across the tops of the breadsticks. Preheat your oven to 425. When done rising, bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

These can also be sprinkled with just butter and cinnamon/sugar :) 

Pizza Poppers

 (picture courtesy of ourbestbites.com)

1 Recipe for Pizza Dough/Breadsticks (found here)
Marinara Sauce
grated parmesan cheese
1 T olive oil
garlic powder
italian seasoning
mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out your pizza dough onto a floured surface, roughly 12 x 6 inches. Using a pizza cutter (roller) slice the pizza dough into about 20 squares. Put your pizza toppings on each square, NOT WITH THE MARINARA. Take for example if I was making normal pepperoni poppers. I would put JUST the pepperoni and monterey jack cheese into the dough. Capeesh? Capeesh. When all of your dough squares have the toppings you want on them, take each corner and pinch together, you want to wrap the dough around the toppings without any holes, so the toppings are encased in its own little pizza dough ball. Spray a pie pan with non stick cooking spray. Then place each of the dough balls with the seam side down into the pie pan. Brush the tops of the balls with melted butter, and then sprinkle parmesan cheese,garlic powder, and italian seasoning on the top. Cook at 400 for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is light brown. I think I only cooked mine for 10 because our oven is hotter than normal. Then when they are done and hot you DIP them into warm marinara sauce :)
