I found Pinterest and from there I found Foodgawker. Foodgawker is like Facebook for recipes! I have found so many delicious recipes on this site I can't even begin to cook them all! So, I am just going to link to many of my favorites.
I am making brownies for a Labor Day Party...these kick butt...and probably make your butt bigger but they are so worth it.
Pretzel Crust Brownies
crust
- 2 1/3 cups pretzels, crumbled
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 5 Tbsp granulated sugar
For the brownies I used a box mix. I like the Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge Brownies in the family size ( a 13x9 pan) I mixed them according to the directions while the crust was in the oven. Once the crust came out of the oven and the bits and chips were all added I poured the brownie batter over it and baked according to the directions on the box. Let them cool (it will be difficult) then cut into squares.
My husband took them into work and I got two tiny brownies brought home to me..they are delicious. So making them again for a party.
I also made these brownies (not sure you can call them brownies) for two different things and they are so rich my family actually said..don't make them again soon...

Yup...they taste like you'd imagine...delicious!
Now that you need insulin I'll post a couple of other recipes.
Three Cheese Chicken Penne Pasta Bake
1-1/2 cups multi-grain penne pasta, uncooked 1 pkg. (9 oz.) fresh spinach leaves
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tsp. dried basil leaves
1 jar (14-1/2 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained
2 oz. (1/4 of 8-oz. pkg.) Neufchatel cheese, cubed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1 package Italian dressing mix
Directions:
Heat oven to 375ºF.
Cook pasta as directed on package, omitting salt and adding spinach to the boiling water the last minute.
Cook and stir chicken and basil in large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 3 min. Stir in spaghetti sauce, garlic, and tomatoes and the dressing mix, bring to boil. Simmer on low heat 3 min. or until chicken is done. Stir in Neufchatel.
Drain pasta mixture; return to pan. Stir in chicken mixture and 1/2 cup mozzarella. Spoon into 2-qt. casserole or 8-inch square baking dish.
Bake 20 min.; top with remaining cheeses. Bake 3 min. or until mozzarella is melted.
Now I will tell you that I used more cheese that this recipe called for and I used and Italian Blend Shredded Cheese. I also added Turkey Italian Sausage that I browned and drained. This has been added into my rotation of favorite dishes.
I also had someone ask me for my Chicken Enchilada Recipe. I am sure I got part of the recipe from Campbell's soup, but here goes
Chicken Enchilada Recipe
Buy a roasted chicken from the grocery store and shred it into a large pot. Add 1 can Cream of Chicken soup, 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup Mexican cheese ( it is a shredded cheese blend by Kraft)1 cup of chunky salsa and a package of taco seasoning mix and my secret ingredient a package of ranch dressing mix, I also like to add a can of black beans and a cup of frozen corn. When it is well mixed and hot and bubbling, spoon into flour tortillas, spread a layer of salsa on the bottom of a baking pan and place the enchiladas on top. I usually pour more salsa on top and layer with more cheese. Bake at 375 degrees until bubbly and cheese is melted.
I like to serve it with taco sauce, sour cream, guacamole and some chopped tomatoes oh..and don't forget the margaritas!
So, I will try to post more recipes than I have in a long time. Hope you love these!
