Sausage with Wild Rice
I don't know if this really counts as a recipe but it is one of our easy go to meals.
One smoked sausage round (shaped like a horseshoe-usually by the bacon, we get the light ones because the real ones are full of fat)
BBQ sauce
1 pkg. long grain wild rice mix
Cook rice according to box directions. Slice sausage into small 1 inch slices. Saute in skillet, turning over until each side browns a little. Add BBQ sauce to skillet (as much as you like) to flavor sausage. Heat together for a few mins. Serve over wild rice. Easy and so yummy.

3 or 4 chicken breasts, thawed and cut into strips
Fajita seasoning packet
flour tortillas
cheese

Cook chicken in skillet with a little olive oil and salt and pepper until no longer pink. Add peppers and onions. Saute for a few mins. and then add seasoning packet with about 1/4 cup water. Stir together and allow everything to heat together for a few mins. Warm up tortillas in another pan. Enjoy! Another variation we do is shrimp instead of chicken.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Passion Bars
These are the best freakin brownies I have ever had. I am making them tonight for a girl's night. They are even better the next day!
1/3 C vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 pouch Ghiradelli Triple Choc brownie mix (yes the brand matters here!)
1 C peanuts, chopped
Peanut Butter Filling:
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 C peanut butter
Stir together oil and eggs. Add brownie mix and peanuts. (I find that an easy way to chop the peanuts is to put them in a ziplock bag and smash them with a rolling pin). Stir until moistened. Press half of brownie mixture into bottom of greased 9X13 pan. Stir together condensed milk and peanut butter until smooth. Spread evenly over brownie layer in pan. Drop round spoonfuls of reserved brownie mixture over peanut butter layer.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until the top is set.

1/2 C peanut butter
Stir together oil and eggs. Add brownie mix and peanuts. (I find that an easy way to chop the peanuts is to put them in a ziplock bag and smash them with a rolling pin). Stir until moistened. Press half of brownie mixture into bottom of greased 9X13 pan. Stir together condensed milk and peanut butter until smooth. Spread evenly over brownie layer in pan. Drop round spoonfuls of reserved brownie mixture over peanut butter layer.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until the top is set.

Calzones
(makes 2)
2 C flour
1 1/2 t salt
1 t sugar
1 packet yeast
1/4 C + 1 T water
3 T olive oil
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Allow to sit until there are a few bubbles on top. Mix flour and salt and then add yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead into a soft dough (you may need to add more olive oil). Divide dough in half and roll out into oval shape. I just use spaghetti sauce and spread on half of the oval. Then add cheese and any other toppings. Fold other half over and pinch sides together. Stab with fork. Bake on cookie sheet that you have covered with foil. Bake at 450 for about 12 mins. Heat up remaining spaghetti sauce and use for dipping.
I forgot to take a picture of them as I made them tonight.. but this is what they look like! (of course these ones are a lot prettier than mine!) :)

Not lying this bread is so freaking good! Not very fab for the figure though. :)

1/2 C vegetable oil

1/2 C butter, melted
1 1/2 t vanilla
1 C buttermilk (or you can put 1 C of milk in a bowl and add 1 T vinegar. Let stand for 10 mins)
1 1/2 t almond extract
Mix all ingredients together with electric mixer. Pour into greased bread pans (2 normal size ones, or 4 little ones). Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean (I often have to bake it longer than an hour to make sure the center is done).
Glaze:
3/4 C sugar
1/2 t vanilla
1 T butter
1/4 C orange juice
1/2 t almond extract
Mix all ingredients in sauce pan. Bring to a boil and boil for 20 seconds. Pour over hot cooked bread.
This bread freezes well also. I find it easier to let the bread cool for 10 or 15 minutes and then turn the pans over and pop the loaves out onto a wire rack. Then pour the glaze on. It will make a mess on the counter top but then the glaze gets to more of the bread. It is really SO GOOD!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies
So someone else really needs to post some stuff! I'm bored so I will post another one that seems to be a crowd pleaser. :)
Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cubes butter, softened
3/4 C sugar
3/4 C brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 t vanilla
regular sized box of instant vanilla pudding mix
12 oz bag of ghiradelli chocolate chips (silver bag)
3 cups of flour
Mix everything except for the chocolate chips and flour together. Then add flour 1/2 cup at a time. It will seem so thick but you really do need all of that flour! Add bag of chocolate chips..(the brand of chocolate chips really does make a difference on this one!) Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until just barely golden brown. When you take them out, they may not look all the way done but if you let them sit for 15 mins the pudding will set and they will be perfect!

Creamy Italian Chicken
I just made this tonight for dinner and was reminded of how much I love it! I think some of you may already have this recipe or your own version or whatever, but I thought I would post it anyway.
It is so delicious and easy and even my children eat it! I usually make it with cornbread muffins, which are also delish. Plus, I LOVE the leftovers for lunch the next day.
Did I convince you to make it yet?

1 envelope italian salad dressing mix
8 oz cream cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
mushrooms (optional)
Place chicken breasts in slow cooker on low. Mix water and italian dressing mix and pour over chicken. Cook on low for at least 3 hours. Shred chicken with 2 forks. Mix soups and cream cheese together and stir in with chicken in the crock pot. Cook for an additional hour. Serve over egg noodles
2/3 C sugar
1/2 C cornmeal
1 T baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 1/4 C milk
2 eggs
1/3 C oil
