Recipe: Foil Pack Brushetta Chicken Bake
Here’s a good recipe to try that I found on the Kraft Foods website. It is easy to make and tasty.
Foil Packed Brushetta Chicken Bake
HEAT oven to 400ºF.
COMBINE tomatoes, stuffing mix and garlic just until stuffing mix is moistened.
PLACE 1 chicken breast on center of each of 6 large sheets of heavy-duty foil sprayed with cooking spray; top with basil, stuffing mixture and cheese. Bring up foil sides; double fold top and ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place in 15×10x1-inch pan.
BAKE 30 to 35 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF). Cool 5 min. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening packets.
Enjoy!

Recipe: Snickers Bars
Here’s a good recipe to try for those with a sweet tooth. I got it from a friend of mine that lives near our cabin. They taste just as good as the snickers candy bar you buy.
Snickers Bars
Step 1
Melt in a safe, microwave bowl:
12 oz. of chocolate chips
3 Tbsp. butter
Put wax paper in a 13″ x 9″ pan and pour choclate mix in and refrigerate until set.
Step 2
Melt 1 bag caramel (50 count) and
4 Tbsp. whipping cream
Add 2 cups roasted and salted peanuts.
Pour over the chocolate in pan. Refrigerate until set.
Step 3
Repeat Step 1. Pour melted chocolate mixture over carmel mix in pan. Refrigerate for 4 hours, or more. Lift out the wax paper. Let sit for 10 minutes, or so, then cut into bars.
Enjoy!

Ponder This…
Last Sunday, as I was driving home from the cabin, I got a text message from my 19 year old daughter. It read, “Why are the eggs brown?” I burst out laughing and then called her and said, “What kind of a text message was that?”
Apparently she wanted to make some muffins and needed to add eggs, but had never seen brown eggs before. I told her they are just like the white ones, but with a different color shell. She proceeded to ask, “Yeah, but what is the difference, you’ve never bought brown eggs before.” I said, “I think they just come from a different type of hen, and who really cares, just use them. They are good”
After I hung up the phone, I thought about it some more, and decided I needed to Google this question when I got home, just to make sure I gave the right answer. I mean, who really thinks about “what color eggs are and why” that often. So if you were wondering…
here are some answers to your egg questions in a nutshell, (or should I say eggshell?)
Thanks for reading and happy cooking!

HolidayTrufffle Party…
A few weeks ago, I had a little get together at my house with a few friends from work to make some holiday truffles to give out. Last year, we did the same thing, and had fun doing it, so I figured we’d start a tradtion. The lucky recipients really enjoy them.
The truffles are easy to make, although a little messy, and delicious!
Following are a few photos I wanted to share:
