Puppy Chow

Chex® Muddy Buddies®

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

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!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  Especial
