Yum!

This summer I have had a lot of fun getting together with a fabulous group of women for a cooking club.  This is not a cooking club where we make food together, rather it is one that we bring our yummy recipes that we've made, eat together, and enjoy conversation.  Super fun time!  

We meet once a month and each time we meet is centered around a theme.  We met last night and it's theme was, "Appetizers and Desserts"...there were some AMAZING treats to indulge in...here is what I made...

With the MN STATE FAIR here I thought it would be fun to make something that you can get at the fair, I made...

Salted Nut Roll Bars
So yummy and so easy to make!
Here is the recipe:
1 jar of dry roasted peanuts (16oz)
12 oz peanut butter chips
3T butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 to 3/4 bag of mini marshmallows
Over low heat melt together the chips and butter.  Stir in condensed milk and marshmallows.  Keep on low heat until marshmallows are soft but still whole.  Grease 9x13 pan and put half the jar of peanuts on the bottom of the pan.  Top with marshmallow mixture.  Then add the rest of the peanuts.  Refrigerate.

Then ENJOY!
Easy right?  Let me know if you try and make these and if you enjoy them as much as we do!

Some other fun recipes that we had last night were...
*Frozen Strawberry Dessert 
*Dill Pickle Dip (served with crackers)...if you love pickles...you must make this!
*Kahlua Coffee Brownies (Oh my word, DELICIOUS!)
*Tomato, Brie and Basil Salad
*Texas Sheet Cake
*Cranberry-Pineapply Apple Dip
 
(I will post these recipes on here SOON!)
Being a part of this club has been not only fun meeting new people and enjoying fun conversation...but I have discovered some new and fun ways to cook and bake...I always love new recipes and this has given me an outlet to taste and try new things! 

So much fun!

GoGo Squeez

I know in my previous post that I would inform you all on how to make a Tie Dye Cake...however, this is something that has to go before that....

Here is a product that my kids just LOVE, let me know if your kids like them too!
So they have these at SuperTarget (and other grocery stores) in many different flavors - appleapple, apple strawberry, apple cinnamon, apple banana, and apple peach (my kids love the apple cinnamon) and here is what I love...
I LOVE that they are 99.9% all fruit...seriously, the ingredients in the apple cinnamon are, that's right...APPLE AND CINNAMON...they are all natural and no sugar added...

The also love that my kids do not have to dirty a dish to eat these and if they choose not to finish the applesauce (which rarely happens) you can just put the cap back on!

The only downfall...they are kind of pricey...for 4 it is $2.49...and I have not seen any coupons for this item (most of you know how I love my coupons)

If you haven't tried this product for your kiddos...just try them!  If you happen to come across a coupon for these...PLEASE let me know!

If your kids have had these...what is there favorite flavor?  If you try them for the first time, let me know what you think!
