Good Eating Monday: Ultimate Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Bars

-
Greetings!  Last week of August! 
I can already feel a change in the weather--we're finally going to have a dry week! Yay! Will give me a chance to work on resolving some rain flow issues around the yard.
Today I mowed and worked on removing grass from my shady rain garden area. It's nice St.Augustine grass on that side and I moved what I dug up to a bare ground location that needs grass. (My lawn is actually a hodge-podge of southern grass types.)

Today's Good Eating recipe is one I found on Pinterest that I plan on trying this week: Ultimate Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Bars!

I'll be making it tomorrow for Tuesday Bible Study at the Lighthouse Airman Center on base and the Air Force kids love devouring ooky-gooky sweets like this!

The basic ingredients are: 1 batch chocolate chip cookie dough (made or bought), 1 pack of Double Stuff Oreo's & one box of Family Size Brownie Mix for a 10 x 13 pan.
Line a 10 x 13 pan with wax paper sprayed with oil spray. Spread in the cookie dough, layer with Oreo's, then top with Brownie Mix. Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, then remove foil and continue baking for another 15-25 minutes.
Let cool completely before cutting.



Here's the original blog link for the full recipe, including pictures and the home-made chocolate chip recipe they use:

*********
Report on the Bar after trying it:Very tasty and rich. Cookies stayed somewhat crunchy in middle once pan was cooled and I shou
ld have cut and put the squares on plate rather then serving from the pan.
 I'd make it again with a few changes:
*Try it without lining pan with wax paper
* I'd like to try using a roll of Pillsbury Chocolate Chip cookie dough crumbled, then pressed onto bottom followed by a drizzle of caramel sauce, then topped with Oreo's and brownie mix.
It seemed like it needed a moist layer in there, since the cookies stayed crisp.
Even so, the military kids gobbled the whole thing up!
Eat up, me hearties, yo-ho!

Good Eating Monday: Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing!

Now this some wicked good dressing!  I tried it for Thanksgiving this year and everyone loved it! I've been looking for just the right dressing and I may have finally found it!  It's also healthy with a tasty combo of fruit, veggies and a mix of white & whole wheat bakery breads. It will fill a  fill a 9 x 13 pan.  You can use fresh or dried herbs. I've included the measurements for both. Just remember dried seasoning is more concentrated in flavor because it is dried, so you need less of it then fresh herbs. I have fresh Parsley growing outside and this was a great use for it! I found leftover over stuffing wonderful heated up and topped with a over-easy egg for lunch!  Apple Cranberry Sausage Stuffing Ingredients:  5 1/2 cups fresh European style or sourdough bread, white, sliced and cubed 2 1/2 cups wheat bread, whole grain sliced and cubed 1 lb ground pork or turkey ( I used Jimmy Dean's Turkey Crumbles, which was 8 oz and that worked great! ) 1 1/2

Good Eating Monday: Peach Cobbler Dump Cake!

-
Image
Yes, I tried another new Pinterest recipe and this one is a winner! The primary dictionary definition of a "Dump Cake," is an easily made cobbler in which cake mix is dumped over canned fruit or pie filling.  This recipe was pinned from Del Monte, which means it's been a recipe that's been created & tested in a corporate test kitchen. That's one benefit of all those label, can & box recipes provided by manufacturers on their product packaging. You can even buy cookbooks featuring nothing, but package & label recipes of which many are vintage. The only changes I'd suggest is add one more 15 oz can of fruit. It can be more peaches, cherry fruit cocktail, regular fruit cocktail or whatever you want. (So, I've noted 4 cans of peaches in the recipe.)   It just needs a little more volume on the fruit quantity.  And stir a teaspoon or two of cinnamon into the fruit! Otherwise, this is an excellent, quick dessert you can serve hot with v

Welcome to the first week of February! It's supposed to be 31 degrees tonight, so after cleaning up the front walk beds, I went around covering various things that either are blooming, about to bloom or that have sensitive leaf buds, like my hydrangea's.  I picked all the yellow daffodils and brought them inside for a cheerful vase on my counter. For Garden Pic Wednesday this week I have an excellent photo of a pine tree flower! You didn't know pine trees flower?  Well, you'll have to stop back for a look! Today's Good Eating Recipe is a family favorite my Mother used to make often for us as kids: Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding! What Old Fashioned Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding Looks Like This is just your basic wholesome old fashioned bread pudding made with just eggs, bread, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar & raisins! No sauces to make. Just simple bread pudding. We'd eat it hot with a little evaporated milk poured over the top.

Garden Pic Wednesday: Ajuga & Lettuce Crop

T oday's Garden Pic is a nice January shot of some Common Ajuga draping over the edge of a large container out front & my bumper crop of lettuce Ajuga: It's a ground cover with a burgundy tinge to it's leaves. It reaches it's best color in shade, but can tolerate light sun. This Ajuga just gets morning sun. It throws runners like a strawberry does, spreading along the ground. It's reaching for the ground and will establish once it touches around the shady side of the stump the container sits on. It's a member of the mint family.  My Winter Crop of Lettuce: This is a french head lettuce I got ordered from Seed Savers for spring 2021. It went to seed in May 2021, then dozens popped up around Sept. I separated them, this whole 4 x 8 raised bed with them. I dined on fresh crisp lettuce all winter! I've left 2 to go to seed on one end of the raised bed, so can have lettuce all winter again!  I've joined a group a ladies in a Book Club that meets once a mo
