We got together with some friends today to celebrate another cold, rainy June day in the midwest. I decided to cook my oldest son's favorites for our lunch.
These are two simple recipes that my kids and most of their friends love! (My friend's kids were actually asking me to give their mom the recipe, so here you go!)
Bow tie pasta with chicken and bacon
Ingredients:
Da-da-da... None other than:
Bow tie pasta (one box)
Chicken (two cooked chicken breasts, cut into small pieces)
Bacon (one pound, cooked cripsy, cut into small pieces)
I toss this together with olive oil and serve it just like that for the kids.
Then, for the adults, I add basil, chopped tomatoes and top with Parmesan cheese (feta would probably be really good, too!).
For dessert, S'mores Galore:
Oops! I forgot to take a picture until we had eaten half of them.
This is a great way to make S'mores without a fire. I love taking these to cook-outs in the summer. And everyone seems to love them!
Ingredients:
20 whole graham crackers
6 Hershey bars
16 ounce bag of mini marshmallows
6 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons milk
Arrange about 12 graham crackers in a single layer on a large bar pan. Toast in the oven for 2 minutes at 350 degrees.
Combine three cups of marshmallows, three tablespoons butter and three tablespoons milk. (Isn't that easy to remember? 3-3-3.) Microwave for one minute. Stir until smooth.
Now add... guess how many?... yup! THREE Hershey bars. Mix until melted.
Spread the chocolatey goo on top of the graham crackers.
Melt another 3 tablespoons of butter. Coarsely chop about eight more graham crackers and toss with the butter. Add the remainder of a 16-ounce bag of marshmallows. Coarsely chop three more Hershey bars. Toss it all together.
Spread mixture on top of chocolatey goo. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 350.
Yum!
Now go try it! You can thank me later.
Yummmmmm!

ooohhhhooo! I can hardly wait to try them both! Glad you found something fun to fill your day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
