Oreo Truffles....Yum!

I found this recipe at Bakerella and I was waiting for a reason to make them. We are going to the in-laws tonight for dinner to celebrate Father's Day and my MIL's birthday. Seemed as good a reason as any to try them. I'll let you know how they are, but really, how can you go wrong with Oreo's and Cream Cheese?

Oh Balls!

I came across this recipe at Bakerella for cupcake pops and I have been waiting for an occassion to make them. Tomorrow at work we are having a Pretty In Pink Day to celebrate Mother's Day and we are donating a portion of the days sales to Relay For Life. Everyone was asked to make something.....finally I have a reason! I don't think they came out too bad for my first try. I still have about 50 more to do so I better get back to it.

I've come up with a recipe that I just love

and I thought I would share it with you.

Here are the cast of ingredients: I'll post them all at the end. Sautee'd shallots... I'm not much of a white wine drinker, but this works instead

all the goodness coming together little shrimpies jumping in the pan...yum

hmmm...looking good...almost there

all the good stuff in the pan Here it is...just wonderful.

• olive oil
• juice of one lemon
• 3 shallots
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• couple pats of butter
• 1/2 cup white wine
• fresh chopped parsley
• 1 lb or so of shrimp
• bow tie pasta cooked to pkg directions
• feta cheese, as much or little as you like
• salt and pepper to taste.
• cook pasta according to package directions

Saute' shallots in olive oil until translucent and soft (I like mine well done, but whatever works for you.)

Add garlic, lemon juice, white wine, butter and bring to boil. Toss in shrimp and cook until pink. Add cooked pasta, parsley and feta cheese. Toss to coat.

Slap it on a plate and enjoy!

One of the girls at work started talking about Monkey Bread. I being almost 40 years old had never heard of it. After seeing the recipe I decided it was worth a try, after all it has alot of my favorite things.

1. 3 cans biscuits (10 count)
2. 1 cup sugar
3. 1 cup brown sugar
4. 1 stick butter
5. 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Take all the biscuits and cut into 1/4ths

this is what the pile looked like after the boys

got done....always enlist help...

pour white sugar and cinnamon into a large

ziploc and coat pieces of biscuit put into a butterd bundt pan melt butter and brown sugar

bring to a boil....let cool for a couple of minutes

pour over biscuits

bake at 350 for 40 minutes...

this is what it looked like when it came out

let it cool for about 15 minutes or so

then flip it over onto plate.

and water.
