Lazy cake cookies

Eggs & Melted Butter

Cookie Dough

These have to be the easiest cookies! They are true to their name when they say "lazy" cake cookies.  Another 20 minute dessert that everyone will love!  Chances are, you will already have all the ingredients in your pantry.  You will need:

Preheat oven to 350

2 Eggs

5 Tablespoons butter

1 white or yellow cake mix

1 bag of chocolate chips

Simple melt the butter and add your 2 eggs.  Whisk together; add cake mix and chocolate chips. Mix together like normal cookies.  (Now the recipe I was following said to put them in a 9x13 pan and bake them into like a cookie bar.  This did NOT work well for me; the batter was much gummier and much more sticky than regular cookies or cake so "spreading the dough in pan" was not as easy as it sounds.  I quickly nixed that plan)  I spooned them onto a cookie sheet and stuck them in the oven.  They need to be spread out just like regular cookies, as they don't seem to rise as much as I thought they might.  Bake them a little under 20 minutes and you will have yourself some REALLY soft and yummy cookies! Everyone will want to know your secret.  Even my husband wanted to know how I got them so "fluffy and soft".  Enjoy!

'Knock your socks off' S'more Bars

I have another GREAT, FAST, and EASY dessert for everyone! I'm a broken record when I say this BUT this is a MUST try!! The hubby needed a dessert he could take to work and I knew they would need something they could hold and not need a fork for.  This worked perfectly and he said all the guys raved about them and there wasn't a crumb left! Give 'em a try next time you have 20ish minutes!

So they are actually called Caramel S'more Bars  Here is what you need and do:

Graham Crackers

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Milk Chocolate Chips

Mini Marshmallows

1 cup brown sugar

2 sticks of butter

Chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350

Spray 2 cookie sheets with baking spray, break your crackers in have and simply lay them on your baking sheet.  They don't need to be perfect and not all need to be touching.



Mix have your bag of semi sweet chips with half your bag of milk chocolate chips.  Sprinkle the entire mixture evenly.

Add your marshmallows on top of that.  Use as many as you want.  This is also the time to add chopped nuts if you chose.  In sauce pan, you will want to pour in your brown sugar and the 2 sticks of butter.  Cook on medium heat until it starts to boil.  You will know this is done when the butter and sugar become one.  (they will stay separate for the majority of the time.  When this is done cooking, drizzle heavily over your bars.

Place in oven at 350 and bake until marshmallow's turn brown.  It will be no more than 20 min.

After they are finished, you will need to let them set and cool at least a couple hrs before you start to cut them in bars.  If you can store in the fridge for a bit, that is actually best.

Enjoy!!!

Strawberry lemon bars

Last time I tried these, it was with raspberries. This time I had some cut up strawberries and my husband had been asking for lemon bars so I decided to experiment again. They def turned out better this time!

Put your berries in a food processor and work them through until you have about 3/4 cup. Do not drain.

Follow recipe on lemon bar box EXCEPT do NOT add the water they are asking for. You will get plenty water from your fruit.
Follow all other directions as listed on box. Add the fruit when it asks for the water. Bake at same temp and for the longest time shown. Tada!

Don't forget to sprinkle the powders sugar!

"Easy as pie" chicken...

This has to be the easiest chicken to make!! And for as easy as it is, it's very tasty!!
You see in the photo that I'm using the Philadelphia cooking cream again! This stuff is so awesome! Pick any flavor that sounds good to you and just spread it on raw chicken breast pieces. No need to add any other seasoning, the cooking cream has plenty flavor. To add some crunch, I throw on some fried onion pieces, stick it on a baking rack and slide it into the oven. Back on 375 or 400 for atleast 35 min, then start to check your chicken to see if it's still pink in the middle.

I can't say enough how easy this is and it's so yummy! We were so excited about digging in, I forgot to take a picture of it when it's done.

Enjoy!
