More and more yummies....

Before I get started in some more goodies I want to thank my very special friend, Linda Percy, for helping me with this blog by sending me some truly fantastic recipes. Thank you, my friend, for caring about me and caring enough to help me with this blog.  You have no idea how much I appreciate this!!!!Love you!!!!

Ok....just a few minutes ago Linda shared with me her recipe for Apple Dump Cake. And according to the instructions you do just that....DUMP everything in a pan and cook it! Could anything be any easier? And I understand that her better half loves this cake and believe me....that is a fantastic endorsement. Thanks Bob!!!!

So we will start with the:

                                                  APPLE DUMP CAKE

2 cans apple pie filling                                             1 box yellow cake mix
Cinnamon                                                                   2 sticks butter cut into 12 pieces
1 c chopped pecans (walnuts can be used, too)

Place pie filling in a 9 x 12 pan that has been sprayed with butter flavored Pam. Sprinkle with cinnamon and add chopped nuts. Sprinkle with dry cake mix and then dot the top with the 12 pieces of butter.  Bake at 375 for 45 minutes. 

Recipes says you can top with ice cream or Cool Whip when serving but my friend, Bob, says it's just a grand without either. And imagine how good this would be using peach, blueberry or blackberry pie filling!!!!!!

So....we have dessert and now we backtrack and do a before dinner appetizer.....Taco Dip.


                                                                TACO DIP

1 8 oz. cream cheese                                               small dollop Sour cream
1 envelope Taco seasoning                                      lettuce, tomatoes, green onion, chopped
grated Mexican cheese                                           black olives, sliced or chopped

Mix cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning and spread in bottom of dish. Top with chopped veggies, olives then add Mexican cheese to the top.  Open a big bag of corn chips, Doritos etc and dig in!!!!

Again so many thanks, Linda! These are wonderful.

So now we have the beginning and the end but we need something in the middle for a main dish!


                        ONE DISH CHICKEN, GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

 

Nothing is easier then this....a whole meal minus a salad in one dish.

Boneless, skinnless chicken breasts (however many you need for those dining)
1 lg bag frozen green beans
Small red potatoes (white potatoes will work, too) cut into quarters (more pieces if usng Idaho)
1 envelope dry Italian salad dressing
1 stick Butter

In a 9 x 12 baking dish place chicken down the center of the dish. Place frozen green beans on one side of the chicken and potatoes on the other. Place pieces of butter over the top of the chicken, beans and potatoes then sprinkle about half the envelope of dry Italian dressing mix over the top. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to an hour. I checked at 45 minutes and all were cooked.

Throw in a green salad or a fruit salad and...............................

                                    THAT'S WHAT'S FOR DINNER!!!!!!

Enjoy and check back often for more yummies, a few crafts and some good reads...a lot of this and that!
