What's For Dinner?

[Marilyn. 340]

I think I have decided on hamburgers.. only thing is that i don't have buns so we would use bread and neither do I have cheese, lettuce or tomatoes...

oh with a side of fries...

[Marilyn. 340]

now I kind of want pasta salad to go with the burgers but I don't have anything to put in it but bell pepper...

[Marilyn. 340]

oh my gosh I would so make these if I had the marshmallow fluff and the chocolate...

S'more Cookie Bars

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/3 cups all purpose flour

3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs*

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

2 super-sized (5 oz.) dark chocolate bars (e.g. Hershey’s)

1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (not melted marshmallows)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined. Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. Two 5 oz. Hershey’s bars should fit perfectly side by side, but break the chocolate (if necessary) to get it to fit in a single layer no more than 1/4 inch thick. Spread marshmallow fluff evenly over the chocolate layer.

Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluff. This is most easily done by putting the second half of the dough in a gallon size freezer bag. Use your palms to flatten it out, and then use scissors to cut down both long sides of the bag, so it will open up book-style. Open it up carefully, and the dough will stick on one side of the bag. Then place the bag, dough side down, on the other three layers. From there peel the bag up ad spread the dough where it is uneven.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into bars

Makes 16 cookie bars.

Well, a repeat of last night's dinner - left over barbeque chicken, corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes but tonight we will have potato salad instead of pita bread - oh, a frozen juice bars for dessert.

[Marilyn. 340]

[Marilyn. 340]

Was Tuesday '80s last night so they had a car show in addition to the ballgame with $1.00 hotdogs. I had two. I also had popcorn, and a lemonade. It was fun! Now tonight...I'm back to...I have no idea.

I'm probably going to get beat over the head for this, but I'm not a big S'mores fan.

Yay! You had one for me!

I've never even had a s'more! Mainly because I'm pretty sure I'd get sick from it...... one too many roasted marshmallows on an open fire. Okay, five. lol

Well, I managed to rescue the chili and downgrade the heat from a Level 1 to a Level 3 category. To soften the blow I decided to make some french fries (homemade), pour the chili over that, then shredded cheese and sour cream. Was really quite good. I guess that's my idea of a s'more. lol

Oh my...my heart just went pitter patter. Shredded cheese and sour cream on chili on french fries? Dreammmmmmmmy *sigh* That's like S'mores x's 100.

I've never had one either! For no particular reason, looks a bit too sweet for me. Now don't get me wrong, I have been known to become addicted to chocolate at a moments notice, so i'm not one of those 'no sweets for me' people.

How about some custard pie....

[Emancipation 2]

I like one smore.. but no more.. which really makes the name silly - i don't want some more I just one want thank you

I made Cottage pie for our new Associate Pastor & wife (they just moved in so we're providing them with some meals this week to welcome them).. SO... I'm not sure what we are going to have. Hubby keeps hoping they will invite us in to eat it!!

Mmmmmm. Custard pie. OMG, I totally pigged out on custard tarts while I was over in England! Gotta get it while you can, you know. But I am so mad with myself. I'd bought some really great cheeses to bring back with me and left them in my sister's fridge.

I wanted to share the recipe I used for burgers yesterday.. they were quite good I thought...

Backyard Burgers

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 pound ground sausage

1/2 pound ground beef

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

4 hamburger buns

Lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced

onion (suggested toppings)

In a large bowl, combine first five ingredients. Form into 4 patties. Over medium heat on grill, cook burgers on each side until done (no longer pink), about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with buns and favorite toppings.

*I didn't have sausage so I just used a pound of ground beef. I also added a bit of salt and paprika.. oh and I made them a few hours earlier and put them in the fridge.. I think that helped keep them from falling apart and I just did them under the broiler because are BBQ is out of gas
