iluvgeddy05 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 No Bake Cookies: 1 stick butter 1/4 c. cocoa 1/2 c. milk 2 c. sugar 1 tbsp. vanilla 1/2 c. peanut butter 3 c. oats Boil butter, cocoa, milk, sugar, vanilla and peanut butter for 1 minute. Add oats and mix well. Spoon dollops out onto wax paper.  These are SO easy to make and SO GOOD. I used to eat them as a kid and have just started making them again.

GhostGirl Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 In my continuing quest to eat more healthfully (and still have food that my 10 year old won't turn his nose up at) I made this Food Network recipe last night, and it was absolutely delicious...very different in texture because of the barley (which I happen to love) and the veggies were nice and tender but still bright. I didn't add the butter at the end. Vegetable Barley Risotto Recipe courtesy "Robert, the First," by Robert Irvine with Brian O'Reilly, Harper Collins Publishers, 2006 6 cups chicken broth 1/8 cup canola oil 1 pound bag pearl barley 1 zucchini, medium dice 1 yellow squash, medium dice 1 carrot, medium dice 1 red onion, medium dice 1 bay leaf 1 clove garlic, chopped 1/4 cup whole unsalted butter Bring chicken broth to a simmer. In a separate large saucepan on an adjacent burner, heat the oil and add barley. Lightly saute: you actually are toasting the barley. Add vegetables to the barley and saute them until translucent. Add bay leaf and garlic. Begin slowly adding broth, 1 ladle-full at a time, to the barley/vegetable pan, stirring occasionally: this will bring out the starch in the barley. As the mixture absorbs the broth, ladle more into the pot. When all of the broth has been ladled into the barley pot, slowly simmer until barley is soft and creamy. Add butter as the last step for more flavor and creaminess to risotto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlswing Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Cheesy Bacon Dip Really good on pita chips!  1 lb. bacon - crumbled 1 pkg. cream cheese - softened 12 oz. sour cream (just don't use the whole 16 oz. container) 1 1/2 tsp. worcestershire (had to go and check the bottle to spell that!) 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I think extra sharp tastes best but you have to shred it yourself) I made mine in my mini crock pot - if you have one then just melt the cheese in there first (can take almost an hour) then add the rest of the ingredients, mix well and let it go for about 2 hours until it gets nice and hot. If you're not using a crock pot then you can just mix all ingredients together and bake at 350 for one hour.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I add it to the ground beef as I am browning it so it adds more flavor to the meat. Add as much as you want... I promise, there can never be too much. ) Brown ground beef while adding chili powder to it. DO NOT DRAIN!!! Put ground beef, kidney beans, and diced tomato in large pot and put on low. Sautee onion, pepper, and garlic then add to the large pot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let this all simmer together for at least 2 1/2 hours before serving for the BEST flavor, or you can put in a crock pot on low and leave it for the party. This will serve a PAGSCON!!!  Sorry if I took TOO LONG getting this up.
