Please help me find this!

I am looking for a recipe from this old Betty Crocker cookbook. My mom had this growing up and we used it all the time! We had one recipe in particular that we loved! A few years ago, my mom wrote down the recipes she wanted out of it and then threw the book away. Now, as my sister and I look through them, we can't find the one we loved!
Do any of you have this cookbook? Would you be willing to share a recipe with me?

Wordful Wednesday. Butterfingers!!

I have been very unmotivated lately. With everything. Not writing much, not feeling like I have much to say. Dealing with sick kiddos and not feeling 100% myself. Behind on housework and laundry...none of you all really want to read this, right?
I did, however, manage to get all of my Christmas decor out, my tree up, and my lights on my house last week. Yeah for me. And I went shopping. That's always a highlight for me.
Okay, onto something more fun. Or rather something more delicious. I'm talking possibly the most delicious thing ever. Seriously. Scrumptious. Butterfingers. Have you ever made them? Everyone I know loves them. LOVES them! I have tried others, but still think this recipe is the best. My sisters and I make these all the time and they are everyone's favorite. (We have been making them for years and I honestly don't know who to credit this awesome recipe to.) They are highly requested. They are perfect for every and any occasion. Have I talked them up enough yet? Maybe this picture will help.

Great! Now I am totally craving one of these!

You want the coveted recipe? Just because I love you all so much, I will share.

1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2/3 c. peanut butter
2 eggs
2 cubes butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour
2 c. oats
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt

Spread in cookie sheet. (it will be really thick. And speaking of that, if you ever decide you want to double this recipe, make sure you have a really good, strong mixer. A few mixers have perished with this one!) Bake at 350* for approx. 15 minutes. (you don't want to overcook this yummy goodness!)
When cool, spread a layer of peanut butter on top. Then spread chocolate frosting over the top.

You will probably want to taste them immediately, and I don't resist that temptation. So...go ahead! Let me know if you try them!

Yum!

This is an awesome recipe that I love! Every time I make it to share, I have people wanting the recipe. Last time I made it for a potluck for Matt's work, he had 4 different people email him for the recipe. Anyway, it's really good!

2 ripe avacados (FYI, darker in color means more ripe)
4 tomatillos (nother FYI, pick the ones that are wrapped most tightly)
1 or 2 serrano peppers (you like it hot? Or not?)
1/3 or 1/2 orange pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
3-4 green onions
1/2 clove garlic
2 Tblsp. lime (I always do way more than that, because I love lime!)
2 Tblsp. cilantro (I always do way more than that, because I love cilantro!)
3 Tblsp. olive oil

That's it. I have a little chopper/mixer that I use to make this. After I have everything chopped up and in the bowl, I add the salt, lime, and olive oil. Then I just finish mixing it with a spoon. And I immediately have to get out the chips and taste it! Mmmmmmm...
Keep it in the fridge, and you will need to stir it up good every time you get it out to eat it.

This is one of my very favorite recipes. I love it alone with chips, or with any kind of mexican food. If you give it a try, let me know how it worked and what you think of it. Enjoy!:)

Easy Dinner

I have been making this quite often lately. It is very easy! Preparation time is usually under 20 minutes, depending on what you add to it. And it's pretty good, too. My kids even like it, so that's definitely a bonus.All you do is get the Bear Creek Creamy Potato soup mix, and make it according to the directions. (I know what you're thinking, but this one is really pretty good.) Then I just add a few things, depending on what I have. On this particular night, I added sausage and mushrooms (I chopped the mushrooms into small pieces and my kids didn't even know they were there, haha.) In the past, I have done sausage, hamburger, peas, mushrooms, cheese--really whatever you want to add. Our personal favorite is turkey sausage. It's a lot less greasy but you still get that spicy sausage taste. Then my favorite part of the meal is the yummy asiago cheese bread loaf from the Walmart bakery. Mmmmm! It is so soft and tasty. I love to dip my bread. My mom uses garlic bread and that's good, too.
And that's it. I know it's nothing fancy. It's very basic and practical. A good, somewhat healthy dinner that's very quick and easy to make. The soup literally takes about 17 minutes to make. Browning my meat is what takes the longest.
Let me know if you try it and enjoy!

Mmmmm Good!

I. love. taco. soup.

It's so good! I love that it is so easy to make. I love that you can throw it together in a crock pot and not have to worry about it until you're ready to eat. I love that for how easy it is, it still tastes delicious! And I love that there is enough left over that I can have it again for lunch tomorrow! WooHoo!
This is nothing new. In fact, I think there are tons of ways to make it. And quite honestly, I've never tasted one I didn't like. Today I just threw this together:
kidney beans
pinto beans
cooked hamburger
tomato sauce
stewed tomatoes
corn
taco seasoning
and let it cook on low all day. Then when we dished it up we added cheese, sour cream, and fritos. So easy. And delicious.
