We decided to try something a little different for Friday. Instead of another discussion question or book-related topic, we thought it'd be fun to have a recipe swap :) Vanessa and I will each post a favorite recipe or maybe something we've always wanted to try. If you decide to try one of our recipes, please let us know and tell us how it turned out! Also, please feel free to post a comment with one of YOUR favorite recipes.

Mac-N-Cheese on-the-go container at Publix $.79 (when on sale)
Add water to the line (I always add a little extra b/c I like creamy mac-n-cheese)
Put in microwave 3:30 minutes
and VOILA! Delicious Mac-N-Cheese!
Goes well with a glass of Coca-Cola or any refreshment really. Enjoy :D

ZIPLOC Omelettes!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a GREAT recipe for “mommies on the go” as well as for sleepover PARTIES!!!
· Grab a quart sized Ziploc freezer bag and have each child write their name on it.
· Crack open 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the Ziploc bag and shake
to combine them.
· Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheese, ham, onions, green
peppers, tomatoes, etc.
· Have each child prepare their own bag with their ingredients of choice and shake.
· Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
· Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You
can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot.
· Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily.
Be prepared for everyone to be amazed!!!
Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in
boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you have a nice
OMELETTE for a quick breakfast!!!

Orange Brownies:
This recipe is from a lady in Florida--who was one of the finalists in the Pillsbury Bake-Off years ago---and it's extremely good-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure orange extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
Glaze: 1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 13x9x2 inch pan
Stir together flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl, add butter, eggs, exract, and zest. Using a hand held electric mixer, beat until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 30 minutes, or until light golden in color and set. Remove from oven and pierce entire cake with a fork
For glaze, mix all ingredients together and stir until smooth. Pour glaze over cake. Cool and cut into squares.
