Yummy yummy

I got that feeling of something new. So I took some friends recipes and got Ashton in the kitchen. The first recipe we did was a Broccoli Salad that a lady at church makes.

1 head of Broccoli

1 head of Callaflower (sp)

1 Red Onion

4 Bacon slices cooked

Cheese (cubed)

Yellow Raisins

1 C Mayo (I used Mirical Whip)

1/4 Red Wine Vinager

1 C Sugar

Chop the broccoli, callaflower, onion and bacon and place in a bowl. Mix in cheese and raisins. Mix mayo, vinager and sugar together well. Mix the sause in and let cool for 1 hour. 

The next recipe I tried is Stawberry Cake Balls. The kids and Patrick LOVED them.

 

These are made with Strawberry cake and Cream Cheese icing dipped in White Almond bark. Ashton added the sprinkles.

1 box cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)

1 can frosting (16 oz.)1 package almond bark (white or chocolate)wax paper

1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.

2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can frosting.

3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet.

4. Chill for several hours.

5. Melt almond bark in microwave per directions on package.

6. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm.

(Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)

I also only melt a few pieces of chocolate bark at a time because it starts to cool and thicken. It’s easier to work with when it’s hot.

Tonight I'm gonna try and make Yellow Cake with Chocolate Icing. Then dip some strawberries in the leftover Almond Bark.

Now that I've looked at these treats I'm headed home to make some more.
