Ingredients: 3 C. Powdered Sugar 1 pkg graham crackers crushed 1 C. Peanut Butter 3/4 C. melted butter 1 pkg. chocolate chips Mix the first 4 ingredients and pat firmly in a 9x13 pan. Melt the choc. chips and spread them over the peanut butter. Chill and serve.

This is another dinner idea from Cherie. Chicken Tenders-frozen Cream of Chicken soup Sliced fresh mushrooms Sliced zucchini Can diced tomatoes Pepper Italian seasonings Garlic powder In a 9X13 pan put the chicken topped with soup. Slice your mushrooms & zucchini and spread on top. Open can of tomatoes and pour evenly over the top. Sprinkle with favorite seasonings. Bake at 350 for about an hour. Serve with Rice. (I served with baked red potatoes & steamed broccoli. I also didn't have any zucchini and left it out. I would like to try with the zucchini next time.) My kids gobbled this up with only a little coaxing to get them to eat the mushrooms. Except for Courtney who kept eating only the mushrooms and nothing else and asking for more mushrooms.

This sounded kinda gross to me when Cherie told me about it, but she said it was good so I had to try it. 1 lb. Kielbasa (I usually buy turkey, but today we tried the Chicken) Rice-I made about 4 cups cooked Brown Rice Fried eggs Start the rice. Cut up the Kielbasa and fry it in a pan with seasonings. I used garlic powder, onion powder, pepper. While this is cooking, cook your eggs how you like them. (sunny side up). Pile your plate like this....Rice, kielbasa, egg on top. My kids loved this and ate it all up & I liked it too.

This one I got from Cherie. It is really good and healthy. 1 lb. ground turkey burger 1 can kidney beans 1 can black beans 1 can sweet corn (not drained) 1 can water 1/2 cup quick cooking barley 1 can diced tomatoes (optional) 1 can tomato sauce salt & pepper taco seasonings Toppings: chips, sour cream, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro Brown turkey burger and add taco seasonings. While doing that drain beans and rinse and add to rest of ingredients (except barley) in a big pot. When turkey burger done add to pot. Cook until beans are tender about 20 min. Then add barley and cook another 10 min. (The water and barley aren't exact because I just threw them in & you may want the soup more juicy, but I liked mine thicker) After you put in serving bowls add sour cream and cheese and cilantro. (The cilantro is the best part of the recipe-I Loved It) Then use chips to dip instead of crumbling them. Mmmmm. A lot tastier as leftovers. Tip: I like mine a little spicier so I added sals...

I am going to make pumpkin waffles for breakfast tomorrow.
