BBQ Chicken Pizza

Have your favorite dough ready. Spread on a little bit of bbq sauce, just a thin layer. I put mozz cheese, red onion (chopped), and cooked chicken pieces. Bake at 425 for 15-20 min. Makes a delicious dinner. Scott's favorite!

Olive Garden Minestrone Soup

So my boss knows I love the Olive Garden minestrone soup. She found the copycat recipe and passed it my way. I tried it and I approve. The only thing I would change is I would definitely thoroughly rinse the beans before you add them to the soup and I would cook the noodles separately and add them as you eat (otherwise they tend to suck up all the broth and you end up with minestrone soup-laced veggies).

Christmas Peanut Butter Balls


These are wonderful and very easy. We made them at Enrichment and they were a hit!

3 Cups Rice Krispies (crushed)
1/2 cup melted butter (1 sitck)
2 cups crunchy Peanut Butter (I use Jiff extra crunchy)
1 lb of powdered sugar (3-31/2 cups)
Dipping Chocolate (I use Almond Bark and melt in microwave--Carefully)

Mix first 4 ingredients together. Roll into balls and dip in chocolate. Place on wax paper or parchment paper. Drizzle with white chocolate.

Makes 85 Peanut butter balls-recipe may be halved

BBQ chicken in the crockpot

I love the crockpot for something fast and yummy! Last night we fed the missionaries but I had to be somewhere right up until they got here. I threw in some frozen chicken tenders dumped a bunch of bullseye on them and cooked for about 3 1/2 hours on high. I made up some rice and had the chicken over rice. It was so good there wasn't any left.
