Puppy Chow

Not all recipes are new to us.

Some are a flash-back to the past;
something we had a long time ago.

Something that we ate for the first time, maybe even lived on it for awhile,
But now we never make anymore.

Matter of fact, some recipes that we share start a story with, "I remember . . . "

This little treat is one of those "I remember . . . " recipes.

I was in college when I first ate it with some friends.

One of those friends is now my Mr.!

How 'bout that!

Now that I'm trying to cook ourselves gluten-free, it has me looking back through recipes.
Which caused me to find this! 
Which will be my girl cherub's birthday treat at school on Tuesday!

Yeah, Me!

Puppy Chow

4 cups corn chex
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 TBSP butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar

Place corn chex in a large bowl, maybe even one that is fitted with a lid. (Makes clean up that much easier!).

Place chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a microwave safe bowl.  Melt ingredients, stopping microwave every so often to stir ingredients together  . . .as well as not to burn it!

Pour chocolate mixture over the cereal and stir well.

Dump the powdered sugar over the mixture and cover tightly with the lid (or place all ingredients in a 2 gallon ziplock bag and seal).  Shake very well!

Pour out onto wax paper and allow the treat to dry.

If there's any left by the end of the night, store in an airtight container.

This is like a family and a half serving . . .or one big boy cherub's serving!  Good thing is; it easily doubles if needed!  (And some days, it's "needed!")

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...

 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.

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
