Fun in the Kitchen

I don't bake that often it's really during the holidays.

I can cook a 5 course dinner but banking is not really

my thing. If I do a pie it's always a no bake pie my

cookies however are always from scratch

along with my icing.

This year since I have my eldest son and my daughter in law

here we have split the baking up. I asked him to do the

traditional sugar cookie cutouts (he loves to decorate them)

and make my moms chewy noels. I am making (a recipe

my dad sent me last holiday) cool whip cookies and a

different type of dessert each week.

Last week I made apple dumplings and red velvet and

cinnamon cool whip cookies, this week I am making lemon

(which is a huge favorite in my house except the hubs) and

chocolate cool whip cookies and I made my eldest son's

family a no bake kit kat pie and I made a no bake mint

kit kat pie (my youngest and I love the mint kit kats).

Next week is a surprise for my family so I am not going

to post about that. Below is the recipes for the cookies and

the pies for you to enjoy.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Cool Whip Cookies

This recipe yields 18-24 cookies

What you'll need:

1 box cake mix

(whatever flavor you like)

2 eggs

1 8oz container of cool whip

powdered sugar

Create:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, mix the cool whip,

cake mix and eggs together until blended completely. Pour

some powdered sugar into a bowl. Using a teaspoon, grab a

scoop of dough, flop it into the powdered sugar and roll

around until coated. Place cookie onto a cookie sheet

(I use parchment paper on my trays). Place about 2” apart.

Bake for 13-15 minutes, they can still be doughy they will

harden up but not too hard seeing as how it's cake mix.

If you go to make these and you like lemon flavored stuff

I'm telling you those are a must try!!!

Kit Kat no bake pies

What you'll need

1 chocolate graham cracker crust

1 8oz tub of cool whip

1 8oz tub of cream cheese

6 packs of kit kats (any flavor)

Create:

Put your kit kats in a zip lock bag, crush them up. Mix the

cool whip and the cream cheese together until blended well.

Sprinkle ¾ of your kit kats into the pie mixture and

stir around well.

Scoop your pie mixture out into the crust and smooth out

evenly. Once you are done top your pie with

remaining kit kats.

Put into the fridge for at least 3 hours before

serving and enjoy!!

Buffalo Chicken Nachos

Football has started so everyone wants something to snack on BUT I even look for something different for dinner. I tried to look up buffalo chicken shit on a shingle with no recipes but I came across this one. Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak

Home Remedies for Sinus Drainage

Every time I get a sinus infection I have sinus drainage forever or at least it seems so I had looked up ways to help the drainage. Below are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph. Drink plenty of fluids Run a humidifier or vaporizer Use saline solution and or a Neti Pot (make your own mixture for the Neti Pot by dissolving 1tsp of sea salt in 1 pint of distilled water. Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.) Steam! Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right! A 2000 study found that chicken soup reduces inflammation associated with sinus congestion, runny nose and colds. Warm & Cold Compresses, lay back with the warm compress draped across your nose, cheeks and forehead for 3 minutes. Remove and replace with a cold compress for 30 second
