Wrap me up!!

I love wraps...I think they are delish...BUT, I have learned the best trick to making them (not the healthiest, just the best)....FLAVORED CREAM CHEESE!! I made these with garden vegetable cream cheese. They were so good!

A Slice of Heaven

A friend gave me this recipe...she had gotten it off of allrecipes.com and tweaked it a little...I tweaked it a little more and waaalaaa :) DELICIOUS carrot cake.


Missy's Must Eat Carrot Cake
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 3/4 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cup flaked coconut
1 8 oz can crushed pineapple

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350
Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Make a well in the center and add sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix, stir in carrots, coconut, and pineapple. Pour into two 8 inch pans and cook for about 21 min.
Frosting:
Mix 1/4 cup softened butter, 1 8oz pkg cream cheese, and two cups powdered sugar until creamy. Spread on cooled cake and eat (but not too much, it probably has around a million and a half calories).

Carrot Cake to Come.....

So I am searching my cookbooks for the bestest carrot cake ever...I will make it Saturday and post pics....If you know of a great recipe...please email me :)

Thanks, Missy

Hubby has been telling me about this Great Harvest Bread Co. for awhile now. He finally went and bought a loaf of their cinnamon bread and made us french toast out of it.....YUMMY!! Although, I must say...it is quite expensive at almost six bucks a loaf.

Chicken Pot Pie

Missy's Chicken Pot Pie

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1/2 an onion finely chopped
one stalk celery sliced thin
1 cup sliced carrots (boil for about two min)
1 cup frozen petite peas
1 can chicken broth
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
2 tbsp butter
2 pie crusts (I cheat and use store bought ones)
salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in saucepan, add onions and celery and cook for about 5 min
Whisk together milk, flour, and chicken broth. Pour into saucepan
Cook on med heat for about 4-5 min (no need to boil it)
Lay out pie crust in pie pan and layer chicken, carrots, and peas in it.
Pour sauce mixture over the top, cover with 2nd pie crust
cook at 425 for 30 min ( I cover the edges with tin foil...you don't have to do this, my family just won't eat them if they are too crispy).
Let it sit for about 10-15 min before cutting into it.

This is one of my family's favorite recipes. We eat it about every two weeks around here :)

Tamales

Well, I am going to "try" my hand at tamales this week. Wish me luck. I will post pics....Even if the end result isn't pretty :)
