Chocolate Oreo Cream Cheese Bars

I had Oreo's in the cabinet.

I don't usually buy Oreo's unless I need them for a recipe.

These Oreo's were a "gift!"  They had sat there long enough that I decided I'd do something with them.

So here's my little concoction.

I'm not sure if it's a new favorite of mine or not -- but the Mr. and two Cherubs really loved it.

Chocolate Oreo Cream Cheese Bars

Cake Layer

1 cake mix; I used milk chocolate
2 eggs
1 stick of butter, melted
Oreo cookies, broken

Cream Cheese Mixture

1 package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
4 cups powdered sugar (1 pound)
1-2 tsp. vanilla, depending on taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.



Mix cake mix, 2 eggs, and butter together.  You'll have a very stiff dough.

Grease a 9X13 pan and press the dough into the pan evenly.



Using your hands, break the Oreo's and evenly sprinkle them on top of the dough.  I used 15-20 cookies; you can use as much or as little as you like . . . and.that all depend on how many Oreo's are left in the package!

Cream the cream cheese and eggs together.  Add 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time, mixing thoroughly.  Alternate with a bit of vanilla.  I used 2 tsp. of vanilla because I like my vanilla. 



Pour cream cheese mixture over Oreo/cake mixture.  Using a spatula, push the cream mixture over the entire surface.



Place in oven.  Bake for 35-45 minutes; checking after 30 minutes.  You'll want the top to be golden, but the cream cheese mixture, although thin, should set up similar to a cheesecake.  It's hard to test for doneness.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
