This recipe dates back to my high school days and I’m not sure I’ve made it since about college. But I got a request for it, so here you go! There are many similar recipes out there, but I don’t think any are quite like this! Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 chocolate crumb crust (9 inches)
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
1 tub (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Blend in sugar and peanut butter. Gradually add milk. Fold in whipped topping and chocolate chips; spoon into the crust. Sprinkle with peanuts. Chill overnight.
Sometimes, like it or not, you just have to have breakfast on the go! These little gems make it seem alright. Make them the night before, then heat quickly before you head out. Love the fact that everyone could customize their favorite ingredients. Even make it veggie only, if preferred. (you just can’t call them “wake up piggies” if you do!)
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 TBS milk
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
4 slices cheese of choice (I used colby-jack)
Salt and pepper to taste
Steps
1. Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, beat eggs. Reserve 1 tablespoon for brushing on tops of rolls. Whisk in milk. Scramble eggs. Salt and pepper to taste.
2. Unroll dough onto work surface; separate into 8 triangles. Cut cheese slices in half; place 1 half on each triangle. Top each with spoonful of scrambled eggs and 1 sausage link. Loosely roll up triangles; place on un-greased cookie sheet.
3. Brush reserved beaten egg on top of each crescent.
4. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. I LOVE the fact that I didn’t have to heat up my big oven. I used this oven from Gerrit’s Appliance!
Summer time is the perfect time for a crunchy BLT, but trust me, this salad is even better!
And now…even more-so. About a year ago, I passed along my favorite salad recipe; The BLT Salad. Well, recently I’ve been REALLY getting into Avocados so I thought hey, I wonder… PLUS, today just happens to be National Avocado day!!
So if you have that recipe, just add chopped avocados. If not, here’s the new recipe! Enjoy!
Now, to make it even easier, you really need this tool. It has changed my life. haha. Its the OXO Avocado Slicer and no, they are not paying me to tell you about it, but they have them at Meijer! 🙂
Here’s the salad recipe:
1/2 pound bacon
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 TBS red wine vinegar
1/2 TBS sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
Croutons
1 pound romaine lettuce – rinsed, dried, and chopped
1 pint yellow grape tomatoes, sliced
2 Avocados peeled, pitted and cubed
Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of the drippings.
In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved bacon drippings, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and basil and let dressing stand, covered, at room temperature.
In a large bowl mix together the romaine, tomatoes, bacon and croutons. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well.
My sister makes this often for family gatherings. I’ve never made it before, but found myself craving it the other day! So I asked her for her recipe and thought I’d pass it along! I realize there are many versions of this out there, but hers is the BEST!

In a large bowl beat butter, cream cheese, lemon zest, and sugar until blended.
Add in egg, vanilla, and lemon juice.
Add in flour, baking powder, and 1/2 cup confectioners sugar. With the mixer on low, gradually beat into creamed mixture.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough and then roll in the remaining 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
