Birthday Buddies layout

With this layout, I completed two challenges. First challenge was to use a sketch from Creative Scrappers (http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/) and the second challenge was to use 5 patterned papers on the same layout from Boys Rule (http://boysrulescrapbookkits.blogspot.com/).

Cake Mix Cookie Bars

I made these bars for our Pinewood Derby concessions and they were a big hit.  Such a big hit that I didn't even get a peice to try.  So, I had to make them again.  Such a simple recipe with amazing results!!!  You will love them.

I found the recipe on pinterest.

 

 

 

1 box yellow cake mix
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 cup chocolate chips (you could use M&Ms too)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients in large bowl.  It will be thick!  Pour batter into a greased 9x13 baking dish.  Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Home Run layout

I hope everyone is having a fanastic day.  I have decided to participate in a sketch challenge at boysrulekits.com.

Below is the sketch they provided for inspiration



Here is the layout I created using the sketch

Beefy Baked Ravioli

1 pound ground beef
1 pkg (25oz) frozen cheese ravioli
1 jar (1lb 10oz) spaghetti sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups shredded colby jack cheese

Brown ground beef, drain grease. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Spread 1/3 of sauce in bottom of 9x13 baking dish. Arrange 1/2 of the ravioli over the sauce. Sprikle with 1 cup of each cheese. Do a layer with another 1/3 of sauce, than rest of ravioli, rest of cheese, and finish with rest of sauce. Cover with foil. Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes.

This was awesome! Even Devon liked it. When I was browning the beef, I added some garlic and when we served it, we sprinkled parmesan cheese on top. We served the ravioli with garlic bread and salad. A quick and easy supper. Got the recipe from allrecipes.com

Caramel Apple Bars

1/2 c cold butter
1 pouch oatmeal cookie mix
1 egg
1 cup finely chopped peeled apple
1 jar (12.25 oz) caramel topping
1/4 c flour

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, cut butter into cookie mix. Stir in egg until mixture is crumbly. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of cookie mixture. Press remaining mixture into bottom of greased 9x13 pan. Bake 15 minutes. Sprinkle apples evenly over crust. In small bowl, mix caramel topping and flour; drizzle over apples. Sprinkle reserved cookie mixture on top. Bake 30 minutes until golden brown and somewhat firm. Cool completely.

My friend Judy brought this recipe over a couple of weeks ago to try and it was heavenly. In the last two weeks, I have made it 3 times. It is quick and easy to make. Everyone that has tried it wants the recipe, so I decided I better put it on my blog. And now that Judy is coming over again on Thursday nights, we will be trying a lot of different recipes. So, hopefully you won't have to wait 5 months for the next post!!!
