7-Layer Cookies from Heaven

You’ll need: a stick of butter, 1 package of graham crackers, 1 12oz. package of chocolate chips, 1 12oz. package of butterscotch chips, 1 14oz. can of sweetened condensed milk, coconut and chopped nuts {pecans, peanuts or walnuts…any will work.}

~ In a large plastic zippered bag, crush the package of graham crackers into tiny pieces. Personally, I like to use a roller.

~ Melt the stick of butter and pour over the crushed graham crackers in a 9 x 13in. baking dish.

~ With a spatula, mix the butter into the graham crackers so that they are all coated. Flatten the mixture and spread to cover the bottom of the dish. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes until golden brown.

~ Let the crust cool for a few moments and then sprinkle the chocolate chips over the crust.

~ Sprinkle the butterscotch chips over the chocolate chips.

~ Add enough coconut over the chips to lightly coat them.

~ Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the coconut.

~ Finish by drizzling the coconut with the sweetened condensed milk.

~ Bake for 30 minutes at 350. Once baking is complete, let the cookies thoroughly cool before attempting to cut. Enjoy!

Purple Pickled Eggs

You’ll need: 6 hard boiled eggs, 1c cider vinegar, 1 can beets with juice {approx. 1c}, 1/3c sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1tbs. minced onion, dash of bay leaves

~ Combine all ingredient EXCEPT eggs in a large bowl.

~ Add eggs carefully to bowl; the beet juice stains.

~ Cover and refrigerate for at least 36 hours prior to serving.

TIP: If you’re like me and you’re not a super big fan of beets, try putting one or two on top of a salad with some balsamic dressing. So. Yum!

Mediterranean Shrimp and Feta

You’ll need: 2lbs of shrimp, EVOO, garlic, dill, black olives, feta and marinara {I use my from-scratch marinara.}

Prep Time: 10-15 minutes

~ Coat the bottom of a baking dish with the EVOO. Add to it a dash of dill and 2-3 medium cloves of garlic.

~ Add the shrimp to the baking dish and mix around in the EVOO and dill until the shrimps are coated. While you can leave the tails on, I prefer to remove the tails before baking. The best way to remove tails from shrimp is to squeeze and pull the base of the tail from the meat.

~ Ladle enough marinara over the shrimp to thoroughly coat them.

~ Sprinkle sliced black olives and feta crumbles over the pan from end to end.

~ Bake at 425 for 20 minutes; serve over pasta and amaze your family!

The Best Alfredo in the World!*
…and it’s super easy to make, too 😉

You’ll need: 1/2 cup butter, 2 cups heavy cream, 3 large garlic cloves, 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Prep Time: 10 minutes

~ Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low to medium heat.

~ Add the cream, garlic and cheese and whisk quickly until the butter and cheese has been melted. Be careful not to get the sauce too hot because it can burn in the bottom of the saucepan.

~ Stir in parsley and serve. {The picture at the top shows the finished sauce served with chicken and linguine.}

*Normally I’m not a big fan of alfredo sauces. I think they are thick and disgusting. THIS SAUCE, on the other hand, is wonderful! It’s thin and flavorful. I’m a fan! This is the only alfredo sauce I’ll ever eat again.

“Feeling like you need to keep on top of scrapbooking, weight loss, up-cycled onesies, handprints, crock pot meals, car seat recalls, sleeping patterns, poo consistency, pro-biotic supplements, swimming lessons, electromagnetic fields in your home and television exposure, is like trying to knit on a rollercoaster…”

I absolutely adore the blog Pregnant Chicken. I’ve been there; haven’t you? I think anyone under 40 has been there or is there right now. Read “Why You’re Never Failing as a Mother” today and remind yourself that somehow you made it to adulthood without the Wiggles and baby yoga. Stop bein’ so hard on yourself, girl!
