Good Eats!!

  Last Saturday I had a Pampered Chef show for a friend's sister-in-law in Kearney. I tried a new recipe there, and it was quite good, so I wanted to be sure to share it.
  The first recipe was actually one I'd made before, but I have a funny-ish story, at least I think so. We made it at the show, and it turned out really well. It's called a Deep Covered Baker Dump Cake (at least, that's what I call it). You make it in your Pampered Chef Deep Covered Baker (contact me today to purchase yours before it becomes a host-only product) in the microwave in about 13 minutes with only three ingredients. Yay! It's awesome.
  So, we made it at the show. And then after the show, I went to my uncle's backyard barbecue. I'm quite a picky eater, as anybody who knows me would agree, so I didn't find a lot at the barbecue I wanted to eat - it was kind of a potluck. So, I went to my car and got the leftover dump cake. My family pretty much devoured it - it was great!! So, one of my aunts and I decided to raid my uncle's cupboards looking for the ingredients to make another one. We kind of did it without asking too ... but we couldn't find a cake mix, so we finally had to ask! It was just as great!
  Maybe the story wasn't as entertaining as I found it to be ... anyway, here's the recipe:

Deep Covered Baker Dump Cobbler

1 can pie filling of your choice (apple, peach, raspberry, etc.)
1 box white or yellow cake mix 1½ sticks of butter, melted or cubed
Pampered Chef Sprinkles, optional

Open pie filling with Smooth-Edge Can Opener. Dump into bottom of Deep Covered Baker.
Open box of cake mix with Professional Shears. Sprinkle on top of pie filling.
Melt butter in 2-cup Prep Bowl in 30-second increments. Stir with the Skinny Scraper. Spread over top of cake mix.
Place lid on top of Deep Covered Baker, microwave 10 minutes; stir. Spread sprinkles over top of cobbler and microwave for an additional three minutes or until cobbler is cooked (exact time depends on microwave).
Serve from Deep Covered Baker on top of Round-Up from the Heart 2009 Trivet using Beaded Serving Spoon.

  The second recipe was one I hadn't made before the show; but it was very good. I'm going to have to make it myself sometime. And they held up well too; I think I finished them two or three days after the show.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Crunch Bars
¼ cup  dry-roasted peanuts
3 cups mini pretzel twists (about 1 2∕3 cups coarsely crushed), divided

Coarsely chop peanuts using Food Chopper; set aside. Place pretzels into large resealable plastic bag; coarsely crush using flat side of Meat Tenderizer. Set aside 1∕3 cup of the pretzels. Place remaining pretzels and cereal in Stainless (4-qt.) Mixing Bowl.
Place 6 tbsp of the butter in Classic Batter Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 60–90 seconds or until melted. Add marshmallows; microwave on HIGH 60–90 seconds.

Combine 2 tbsp of the butter and half of the corn syrup in Small Micro-Cooker®. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 60–90 seconds or until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in peanut butter morsels; mix until melted (mixture will be stiff). Spread peanut butter mixture over crust using Small Spreader.

Happy Thursday! (meant to save this for tomorrow, whoops!)

Constantly looking for one place to store all your important dates?

   How many of you have all kinds of important dates running through your head, like birthdays and anniversaries, that you know you are bound to forget? I know I do ... and have. I can remember the random birthday of a college friend's brother or a high school class mate that I haven't really talked to since high school, but I can't remember my sister-in-law's or many of my best friends' special days, and even after only three years of marriage, I'll admit I've even once spaced off my own anniversary and scheduled a Pampered Chef show (it isn't always the husbands who do this!) I've tried storing these dates in different places: I've made an altered rolodex for that purpose, but I never filled it out; I've also used - and even made my own - card book. The one I got for high school graduation, I filled in all the dates, but at this point in time, I can't tell you where the book is. The one I made myself, I don't know if I even filled i...

My attempts at photo editing sites ...

Hey there blog readers! I know, I know, I was supposed to be posting more regularly ... I'm sorry. But my garage sale is done, so that means I should have more time to post, right? The reason I am posting today is for that Nebraska Learns class I talked about at the beginning of the month. Nothing like procrastinating - today is the last day I can complete it! ;) I am actually really enjoying this first "assignment." Our assignment was to play with photo editing sites. For my scrapbooking friends out there, I'm thinking this could do wonders for your already wonderful pages! As I was working on my second picture, I had an idea. There are many pictures - like that particular one - that I'd like to include in my scrapbook, but can't make myself create a whole page for a picture of a flower ... but can you imagine putting this photo of the flower on it? I can. How much cooler would that make the page? I could talk about where I was and why I took the pictu...
