Decadent Triple Layer Mud Pie

3 Squares Bakers Baking Chocolate (Semi Sweet)
1/4 Cup Canned Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 Oreo Pie Crust (6 oz)
1/2 Cup Chopped Pecans
2 Cups Cold Milk
2 Small Packages Chocolate Jello Instant Pudding
1 8oz Tub Cool Whip (Thawed)

Melt chocolate in microwave or in double boiler and then mix with condensed milk until well blended. Pour into crust and sprinkle with pecans. Pour milk into large bowl. Add pudding mix. Beat with wire wisk for 2 minutes until blended. Mixture will be thick. Spoon 1 1/2 cups pudding over pecans in crust. Add 1/2 the Cool Whip to remaining pudding. Stir until blended and spread over pudding in crust. Top with remaining Cool Whip. Refridgerate for 3 hours before serving.

I like it better without the nuts so I leave those out. It is really easy and oh so yummy!

Cake Balls

Red Velvet Cake Balls
1 box red velvet cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
1 can cream cheese frosting (16 oz.)
1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate)
Wax paper

1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can cream cheese frosting. (It may be easier to use fingers to mix together, but be warned it will get messy.)
3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50. You can get even more if you use a mini ice cream scooper, but I like to hand roll them.)
4. Chill for several hours. (You can speed this up by putting in the freezer.)
5. Melt chocolate in microwave per directions on package.
6. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)
I also only melt a few pieces of chocolate bark at a time because it starts to cool and thicken. It's easier to work with when it's hot.
I found this recipe on bakerella.blogspot.com so you can check out the step by step pictures there if you want to.

Spinach Pizza

I made up this recipe with the help of another recipe, so some things may have to be tweaked a little bit to your liking, but I think it tastes great. (This is not a low-fat pizza, but it does have spinach, so that's good.)

1/4 c. butter or margarine
1/4 c. flour
2 c. milk
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
1/4 pkg. cooked spinach
1 pkg. mozzarella cheese (however much you like on top)

Melt butter in saucepan, add flour. Slowly mix in milk (will be thin). On medium/low heat, stir constantly until it thickens. Add salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese and melt. You can either add the spinach in the sauce mixture or put it on top of the sauce on the pizza, whichever you prefer. I use mom's pizza dough recipe. So I roll out the dough, put the sauce on, spinach, and then mozzarella cheese. Cook 425 degrees for 15 min.

Pork Chops

Ok, this one is kind of funny because I was at work today and this repair guy came in to fix some cabinet locks and when he was done he came into my office and started gabbing about these great recipes he's come up with, ha ha. He wouldn't stop or leave until he wrote down this pork chop recipe for me. It sounds really good and is, aparently, quck and easy, so I thought I'd post it up quickly :)

2 pork chops seasoned lightly with Montreal Steak seasoning, browned, chopped, and set aside.
Combine 1 1/2 C milk, 1/4 C minced onion, 1 1/2 C blue cheese dressing in the pan that the chops were browned in and heat to a simmer. Add a couple dashes more of the steak seasoning.
Meanwhile, boil egg noodles (however many you want) and drain when cooked.
Combine all and enjoy!

Let me know how this one turns out if you try it.

Spencer's bread

I know everyone loves mom's bread, including myself, but Spencer's bread is really good too. It's so easy that we make a batch (3 loaves) almost weekly. Note too that the four doesn't have to be split evenly between white and wheat. You can have any combination making it more white or more wheat as long as there is 1200 g total.

600 g white bread flour
600 g wheat bread flour
1 t kosher salt
1 t dry instant yeast
1/4 C melted butter
1/3 C honey
3 C warm water

Combine all ingredients except water in a mixer and turn the mixer on. Slowly pour water in while mixer is going. Mix for approximately 20 minutes until dough is stretchy. Let dough rise for 40 minutes and punch down. Let dough rise again for 40 minutes and separate into 3 equal loaves. Place loaves into lightly greased bread pans and let rise again until double in size. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove from pans immediately and allow to cool on a cooling rack. Enjoy!
