Crepes

This recipe came from my best friends family. It is indeed delicious. I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Crepes

Combine in a large bowl:

2 cups of flower
1/4 teaspoon of salt
4 eggs
2 and 1/4 of milk
1/4 cup of melted butter

Beat well and refrigerate for 1 hour. Heat a 6 inch skillet over medium heat and brush with butter or oil. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan and quickly tap so batter is all over the pan. Cook 1 minute, flip and repeat. Repeat until all of the batter is cooked.

Filling

In a separate bowl combine:

2 cups of cottage cheese
3 oz of softened cream cheese
1/4 cup of sugar
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
2 tablespoons of butter

Blend ingredients together. Spread 2 tablespoons of mix in the center of crepes . Fold crepes and then lightly brown each side in a skillet. Top with fruits, caramel or chocolate sauce or whatever else you desire.

Strawberries and Cream

My husband loves strawberries and cream and he asks for it all the time. The only problem is we always seem to have strawberries and no cream. Well one night for dessert I decided to invent my own cream. I modified a pudding recipe and came up with this:

Strawberries

I like to slice my strawberries and then sweeten the in a bowl. I'll do a handful of strawberry slices and sprinkle some sweetener on top. Then another handful of strawberry slices and another sprinkling of sweetener until all the strawberry slices have been sweetened.

Cream

Scramble two eggs in a bowl. Do not cook them. Just set them aside

In a sauce pan mix together:

3/4 cup of sugar
2 Tablespoons of corn starch
3 cups of milk
1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla
1 tablespoon of butter

Bring mixture to a low boil. Then pour some of the mixture into the bowl with the eggs. Stir the eggs vigorously as you do so. This will cook the eggs, but keep them from becoming clumps in the cream. Combine all of the mixture together and serve over cut and sweetened strawberries.

"Better Than THAT" Cake

Bake a white or yellow cake. Take a wooden spoon and use the handle to poke a bunch of holes in the cake-- after it has cooled. Then pour a medium sized jar of caramel evenly over the top. Pour a can of sweetened condensed milk over the top. Spread a tub of whipped topping on like frosting. Than sprinkle coconut flakes and toffee trips on top. Best if it sits four a couple hours before serving so everything can soak in.

Yummy Peanut Buttery

Mini Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

This one came from a neighbor. She gave it to me at my bridal shower. You'll need a bag of Reeses Mini Peanut Butter Cups for the final step.

1/2 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1/2 cup of butter softened

Cream together and then blend in:

1/2 cup of peanut butter

2 tablespoons of milk

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1 egg

Stir in:

1 3/4 cups of flour

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 teaspoon of salt

Bake in a mini muffin pan or a regular muffin pan. Line the pan with muffin liners or spray well with cooking spray. Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes. Immediately after removing from oven press an unwrapped mini peanut butter cup in the middle of each cookie.

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Beat in a large mixing bowl until creamy:

1 1/4 cup of peanut butter

3/4 cup of butter

Gradually beat in:

1 cup of powdered sugar

Then with hands or a wooden spoon mix in:

1 more cup of powdered sugar

3 cups of graham cracker crumbs

Press evenly into a prepared pan. It helps if you use wax paper to press it in.

Melt:

3/4 cup of peanut butter

12 oz package of Chocolate chips

You can take 1/2 a cup of the chocolate chips-- before you melt them-- and add it to the crust. The recipe says to do it, and you would do it before you press it into the pan, but I personally prefer the crust without the chocolate chips.

Pour the melted mixture on top of the crust and then place in the fridge for at least an hour.

Grandma's Sugar Cookies

I got this recipe from my Grandma Andreason. It's great when you want a sugar cookie, but you don't want to pull out the cookie cutters and the frosting.

2/3 cup of shortening

3/4 cup of sugar

Cream together then add:

1 egg

Then sift together in a seperate bowl:

1 1/2 cups of flour

1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon of salt

Add above mixture alternately with:

4 teaspoons of milk

Then add:

1 teaspoon of vanilla

roll into balls and place on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

The Best Basic Brownie Recipe!

Melt together:

1 cup of butter

1 cup of cocoa

In a separate bowl combine:

4 eggs

2 cups of sugar

1 and 1/2 cups of flour

2 teaspoons of vanilla

Optional:

1 cup of nuts

Combine all ingredients and then pour into a well greased pan- I believe the size I use is 11X7. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
