Nutter Butter Mummies

Halloween is almost here!  Brynlee  (my 6 year old) and I wanted to make a fun food craft and these are what we came up with.  Nothing complicated- just easy, fun, and cute.  I've seen these done with oreo's as well but we liked the shape of the Nutter Butter's better.  As I mentioned before, they were very easy to make!  Brynlee dipped the cookies in the chocolate, I did the eyes, and we both took turns drizzling the chocolate.



Nutter Butter Mummies

Ingredients:

12 Nutter Butter Cookies
1 bag Guittard Vanilla Chips
mini chocolate chips
2 TBSP Shortening

Directions:

Place vanilla chips in a small microwave bowl.  Microwave on half power for a minute at a time, stirring after each until it is nice and smooth.  Using a fork, dip the cookies into the chocolate.  Pick up with the fork and tap lightly on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.  Gently slide cookie onto parchment paper or other non-stick surface.  Place two mini chocolate chips close together to make eyes.  Once you've done this with all 12 cookies scoop the remaining chocolate into a ziplock bag and snip a small corner off.  Gently squeeze over cookie from side to side to make the bandages.  Let firm up for a few hours or until the chocolate is set.  Carefully trim any excess chocolate away from the mummies.  Enjoy!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
