Peanut Butter Pie!!!!! MMMMMMM!

  Last summer we had some neighbors over for dinner.  They brought a delicious pie with them for dessert.  It was so good, I had to have the recipe.  She said she found it in a magazine.  Not sure which one.  This turns out to be one of my favorite pies.  What's your favorite pie?  My top 3 are apple, peach, and peanut butter.  Just thinking about them makes my mouth water!


No Bake Peanut Butter Pie

1 cup shredded cheddar

Back to My Childhood

 When I was little, my mom would make a broccoli and cheese casserole for holidays.  It was always a favorite.  I found this recipe and made a few little changes.  When I tasted it, it took me right back to my childhood.  The main difference is I didn't use Cheez Whiz and I made it into individual servings.  With there only being 2 of us at home now, the individual servings is nice.  If you put it in mini muffin pans, you could use it as an appetizer.

 

Broccoli and Rice Cups

2 cups cooked rice

1 12 oz bag of broccoli, chopped finely

1 cup shredded cheddar

1 Tb. minced garlic

2 eggs, beaten

1 Tb. minced onion

Salt and pepper to taste.

Mix well and scoop mixture into greased muffin tins.  Top with more cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 min.  You may have to run a knife around the edges of each muffin cup to loosen.

Spring Chicken

 Spring Break was this past week.  I had time to leisurely do things and enjoy getting some much needed rest.  I found this recipe and made it tonight.  To make it super easy, I cooked the chicken in the crock pot on high for 4 hours and then took 2 forks to shred it.  I just realized I left out the salt and pepper when I made it, but it was still good!  I wish I had remembered to take the picture while it was still in the dish.  I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
