These are DELICIOUS. Worth the crazy amount of ingredients them. They are baked instead of fried so they're crunchy and crispy without being too greasy. We use a rotisserie chicken and this makes them pretty fast too.We only use 1/4 of a jalapeno and I think it's the perfect amount- spicy but not overpowering. Tim wishes we'd use 1/2 as called for, but he likes his food pretty spicy.This is half of the recipe (4 servings) so double it if you need more.Ingredients: (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup ...

Nana's Ultimate Chocolate Frosting/Ganache
So Tim's birthday cake looks pretty, but it didn't turn out very well at all. I'm not going to post the recipe because it tasted like Marzipan instead of Black Forest cake. I'm pretty mad that I made it actually, I was really disappointed.
I am going to post the frosting recipe. My mom has been using this chocolate frosting for years, and it is divine. I almost never make any other chocolate frosting. This one is really fast and...

Tortellini Soup
This is a really good vegetable tortellini soup, a bit like minestrone. This is the best soup recipe I've ever found. I use 1 lb. ground beef instead of the sausage, so I can't actually vouch that it's good with sausage! I use frozen tortellini because it's cheap. I cook it separately and add it right at the end so it doesn't soak up too much of the juice. I also substitute apple juice for the wine- because I usually have it on hand....
Crunchy Peanut Butter Balls
These are really quick and really yummy! You can drizzle melted peanut butter chips or white chocolate over the top, or use holiday sprinkles. Sometimes I substitute mini marshmallows (about 4 cups) for the marshmallow creme if that's all I have. Just microwave them for a minute or so. Yum!
Ingredients:
-1 cup peanut butter (be generous)
-1 (7 oz.) jar marshmallow creme
-2 cups crisp rice cereal
-1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
-4 teaspoons shortening
Directions:
1. In a large bowl,...

Do you crockpot?
Ok, let's be honest. I don't really enjoy making dinner. Desserts, yes. Dinner? Not so much. Preferably, I spend as little time cooking dinner as possible. Therefore I love my crockpot, but I have a hard time finding recipes that sound good.Looky looky what I found... A Year of Slow Cooki...

Oreo-Crusted White Chocolate Mousse Torte
I know this is a long recipe, but don't be intimidated. The recipe is pretty long-winded, but if you read between the lines, it's actually very easy to make. This is a killer dessert that presents very nicely as well. I know there's a lot of heavy cream in this recipe... But I promise- once or twice a year, it's SO WORTH IT! And this recipe is coming from someone who doesn't even like white chocolate. Enjoy!
