I thought maybe we can all share a favorite recipe!
Here's mine, it's easy, and is nice to serve cut up for appetizers!
Junk Bread
1/2 stick butter
1 loaf French bread
1 med. onion, chopped
1/2 bell pepper (any color), chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 c. black olives, chopped
1/2 c. green olives, chopped
1/4 c. jarred jalapenos, chopped
1 lb. pre=cooked shrimp, chopped
1/2 c. mayonnaise
8 oz. shredded mozarella
Saute onion, bell pepper, and garlic in butter until butter is absorbed and veggies are wilted. (If too wet, strain off excess moisture).
Remove from heat.
Stir in olives, jalapenos, and shrimp. Add mayonnaise and stir.
Cut French bread 1/2 lengthwise. Drizzle with olive oil. Smear on shrimp/veggie mixture. Top with cheese.
Bake at 350 until cheese melts and bread toasts, 15-20 minutes.
Mixture can be made ahead and refrigerated.

My I'm lovley in my broco attire. I had deams on elway all night. I feel like deedee with my ummmm heart pouinding ( is that what vshe says after erotic dreams)?
Will read blog when I get up
Good morning....sounds like a nice dream Dianne!! :)
Good morning to all who fly in later...I dreamt about everyone last night. I dreamt that I was somewhere and you all were calling me to come back...
Area 51: Thanks for the welcome backs and hellos Dianne and J/L. It was a wonderful vacation. I enjoyed it so much.
Mo: Gosh, i am so sorry to hear that happened to you. It must have been a terribly traumatic experience.
Mo--i think it iss time for ur boss top get involed. I shouldn't jave to deal with that from a coworker.
I really meant u not me MO
no Dianne!!
I never said anything about my heart pounding.....however I have mentioned my flaming ZORCH!!
Morning glories,
I posted an update on FB about Eva. She has had her feeding tube and PICC line removed and is alternating between a bottle and trying to learn how to breast feed. She is gaining weight everyday. As soon as she can eat a certain amount at each feeding to maintain her fluids it looks like we might be able to bring her home.
A physical therapist assessed her yesterday but it was inconclusive as she is just too young. They said more will be known about any development issues at 2 months. The main issue right now is strengthening her neck and throat muscles and they gave exercises to help accomplish this.
She will see the neurologist again on Feb 1 and will be assessed again at 2 months by the PT.
The neurologist will let us know at that appt. whether or not she will have to continue the anti seizure meds. Right now she is still getting them once a week.
So keep praying and sending good vibes. She is improving but we are still in wait and see mode. :)
She is a beautiful baby and looks quite a bit like her big brother.
Waving at everyone!
Lynn!!! So good to hear that news!! :) xo! xo! Still sending thoughts and prayers.
Afternoon Dianne, Bebbi, DeeDee and Lynn D!
My favorite recipe is...I don't know. If you're talking about a meal recipe I don't think I have one. I am a very fussy eating. I make a lot of pasta (just hamburg, tomato soup, oregano, basil and garlic powder with whatever pasta I have on hand)and frozen pizza.
However, for breakfast I like to fry up either bacon or sausage (cut small), heat up some hashbrowns until almost done then throw them in with the bacon or sausage (drain most of the fat off). Fry this for a few minutes then add beaten eggs and grated cheese. Have a nice big cold glass of milk with it. Yummy!! Now you all know why I am as big as I am.
re. area 51
Maureen I forgot to tell you that when you give your "co-worker" bitch the coffee with laxatives make sure you put an "OUT OF ORDER" sign on the nearest bathroom to her.
Happy Thong Thursday everyone!
I will have to get back on my fave recipe. I have a DDS appmt soon.
It has been snowing here and I am still nervous about driving since my fender bender. Mr Mary said he would drive me to the apptmt. I got my jeep back late Tuesday so I was on the run all day yesterday. I had a list a mile long and the roads were dry.
LynnD,thanks for the update. I am so glad little Eva can go home! I will keep praying for her full recovery. How is your daughter doing?
Bebbi,humpft, you didn't mention that your dream was not just about ME! LOL!!
Diane, I like your dream, was I in it??
Shirley, that is exactly what my son likes to eat! I personally like my ingredients separated until they hit my stomach lol!!
Hi again....everyone except Mary....
Dianne Congrats on trotting in here first today. Your mane looks lovely flowing behind you. Speaking of behind you, perhaps you could stand on the naughty mat. I've marched in a lot of parades....ijs
Bebbi Glad you enjoyed your vacation. I live about 1 mile from the beach but don't take advantage of it.
DeeDee Oh, I see you've brought along two of your most intimate friends.
LynnD I'm so happy that Eva is improving. I will continue to keep her in my prayers. Also, though I forget to say it, I hope your daughter is healing well, also.
Shirley LOL @ your recommendations to MO regarding the co-worker. The Out of Order sign is a very nice touch.
Mary I have an appointment today for a PAP smear. Oh, whoopie. :(
EBJ Your recipe sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing it and for writing the blog.
SUPER EASY APRICOT CHICKEN
Place 5-6 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast on a 12 inch square of aluminum foil.
Place 1 Tbsp apricot preserves on chicken breast.
Place 1 tsp dijon mustard on chicken breast. Mix into preserves and spread mixture across top of breast.
Sprinkle breast with paprika, salt and pepper.
Join edges of aluminum foil and fold edges together, creating a well-sealed packet (not too tight against the chicken as there needs to be room for heat to circulate).
Place packet on cookie sheet and cook at 350 for 25-30 min. (I prefer 30). You can make as many of these as you need but only one breast per packet. Very, very tasty.
Praise Jesus~ Dad is still in remission~ Happy Day!!!~
LynnD~ Mom asked about Eva...thanks for the update~ (she's so funny....asked me if Eva had this test and that test!....I said, "Mom! I'm sure she did! Don't worry, just keep praying!")

J/L~ Let us know how everything went....in~ :)~
Di~ shuddup!~
It is so ugly and cold at home~ CA was so pretty and warm and I came home to an inversion...and it's freezing~
Good evening feathered friends!
LYNN...thanks for the update. Things sound promising. Still keeping all of you in my prayers.
TINA...what was your favorite part of An Affair to Remember? Aside from all of it! I loved how kind he was to his grandma, but I totally lost it when he wiped the tears from Deborah Kerr's cheek in the last scene!! **SIGHHHHHH**
DIANNE...Who's John Elway? bwahahahaha!!
Snowing like a mo-fo here :(
I make soup. Veg, stock and herbs. Just raid the produce department and throw it all in a pot. Add some Parmigiano, and dig in.
EBJ...your recipe sounds delish!
I can't think of a favorite one I make. I like to make garlicky pasta with shrimp or chicken. And I like to make a variety of chicken dishes.
Ohh, I know...roasted veggies.
Asparagus, green beans, cauliflower, zuchini, sqaush, red potatoes, cherry tomatoes, red onion chunks, brussel sprouts and peppers. I lay them out on cookie sheets that were sprayed with olive oil Pam. (I use multiple sheets so each one has veggies of the same size on it). Then I spray the veggies with the same Pam. In a baggie I put in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, parsley and a little teensy bit of chili powder and shake it all together. Then I sprinkle it over the veggies and toss them around the pan and bake them in a HOT oven. I flip it all half way thru. The trays with the smaller veggies come out first. OHHH, soooo good!
Work was calm today. The bitch and I avoided each other. She usually parks her car in front of my window and comes in my door, but today she parked at the other end of the lot!
My boss did go to her boss this morning, but I never heard anything.
I was nervous going in, but it was ok.
Glad to hear everthing was ok at work today Maureen. Just let me know if you want the bitch "taken care of", I'll send down Tina and DeeDee. They will get the job done!
These recipes are all sounding mouth watering! When are you all coming over to cook them for me! LOL!
I'll whip the bitch's ass and Tina can render first aid....shoddy first aid....painful first aid....
Gosh! What came over me!?!?
I would give her a good talking to...and then I'd whip her ass...
HI DEE DEE!!!!
DID I MENTION DEE DEE?
HOW ARE YOU DEE DEE??
WILL YOU BE USING YOUR BRASS KNUCKLES AND FAMOUS WHIP?
BYE DEE DEE!!!!
DID I REMEMBER TO SAY HI TO DEE DEE??
TINA...I forgot to say how happy I am that your dad is still in remission.
LMBO DeeDee and Mary~
Thanks Mo~
Mo, thanks for reminding me!
Tina that was wonderful news!!
I love what you said about your Mom!
She must be a gem. When can I meet her?
I didn't share this last night, but on the way home I was driving down the 2 lane road to get to my house. I looked to the right and there was a herd of deer running down the side walk! There had to be 10 of them. There was one ginormous one about 2 deer lengths ahead! She kept inching closer to the road. I was honking my horn to try and scare her away from the road. I knew it wasn't gonna be good, so just as I stopped she darted in front of my car and ran across the street. She was literally inches from my bumper! A fricking tick could have landed on my bumper!
Between Brenda and Bambi, it was a B of a day!!!
DEE DEE...you reminded me of a story about the Bitch. Last year we all got new office chairs and new carpeting. Since the carpet was new, they made us all have those plastic mats under our chairs. One afternoon I heard a THUMP. The bitch went to sit down and her chair had rolled away and her double wide ass landed on the floor!
MARRRRRRRRY!
Mo~ lmbo....the ass fell on her ass~ LMBO!!!!! karma~
Mary~ You can't meet her......you'd scare her~ :)~
Mo, now THAT was funny! A well deserved thump!
Tina, hey I can fake nice!
Mary~ I didn't say you wouldn't be nice....i said you'd scare her~
I'm still trying to think of a recipe~
TINA...don't you have a recipe for your favorite...enchiladas? LOL!
Tina Happy dance for your dad! That's great news.

Total Time: 4 hr 30 min
Makes: 14 servings
Ingredients:
2 cups whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. sugar
1 pkg. (9 oz.) FAMOUS Chocolate Wafers

omg...Mary!!! SOPA!!!!!!!
Tina, I thought you were cursing me in initials lol!!
I love love SOPA!!! My Mother made the best ever!!! The sauce with the re-fried beans and hot tortillas!!! I wish I would have paid more attention to her cooking!
Sopa (or Spanish Rice)
1 cup rice
1 small can tomato sauce
2 chicken bullion cubes
1 clove garlic chopped
1-ish tbsp vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups water
Brown rice in oil. When you think it's browned enough, do it a little more. Once browned, add can of tomato sauce. (watch out...it'll sizzle!) Add water, bullion cubes, and garlic. Simmer covered for 15 min. Feeds four. When my older son is home, I double it.
Chicken fricassee recipe with dumplings.
Ingredients:
* 4 to 6 pounds chicken parts(I only use breasts)
* 1 large onion, peeled and sliced
* 1 cup chopped celery with leaves
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon pepper
* 2 1/3 cups water, divided
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* Dumplings, below
Preparation:
Paprika Dumplings
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon paprika
* 2 tablespoons shortening
* 1 cup milk
Place chicken parts, onion, chopped celery, salt, pepper, and 2 cups water in a Dutch oven or large kettle. Cover and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from broth; set aside until cool enough to handle. Pick meat from bones. Strain broth into a 4-cup measure; add water(I use milk) to make 4 cups. Press vegetables through sieve or through food mill into broth. Return broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Stir about 1/3 cup water into the 1/4 cup flour to make a smooth paste. Gradually stir the flour paste into the hot broth. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Return chicken to pot; heat to boiling over medium heat. Prepare dumplings. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and paprika into a mixing bowl; cut in shortening. Stir in milk just until dry ingredients are moistened. Drop dumpling batter in about 6 to 8 portions over chicken. Cook, covered, for 20 minutes. If desired, sprinkle dumplings with additional paprika and chopped parsley. Chicken fricassee serves 6.
I don't do the vegetables in my recipe
Tina, Tina, Tina, my Mother only used fideo! She toasted it first and used fresh garlic,cominos from her molcahete.
Chicken and Cream
6 thighs
3 slices onion chopped
1 pint whipping cream
1 pint water
2 chicken bullion cubes
salt and pepper
1 tbsp corn starch
1/4 cup milk
Throw (not literally) the chicken in a pot and salt and pepper it. Add onion. Once chicken is brown, simmer with cream, water, and cubes -- do not boil. Once warm, put in oven for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Remove chicken and the nasty grease on top of cream. Thicken cream with mixture of 1 tbsp corn starch and 1/4 cup milk. Serve over steamed rice.
Tina, I just noticed you put into parenthesis "Spanish rice". Fideo is. well, "fideo"(spaghetti). Spanish rice is... Spanish rice lol!!
Tina, oops I meant "sopa is "fideo" in my neck of the words lol
Shortbread Cookies
2 sticks butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
Mix well. Spread on small jelly roll sheet and pack down hard...wooden spoon works well...or spatula. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 min or until golden brown. Sprinkle with sugar and cut into squares while hot.
lmbo Mary~ I have an argument with an Argentinian all the time! Sopa is rice where I come from....but it's soup where she comes from! So when we were both in Guadalajara, she asked a teacher there what sopa was, and she looked at Ana funny and said, "Rice!" with a duh look on her face! I just smiled~
I give, you win lol!
OMG!!!! I forgot to tell you guys....my 14 cartridges for my Cricut Machine arrived! I opened them, linked them to my Gypsy, registered them online, redeemed my reward points online, and then cleaned up after my orgasm!!! :D
