Alright, Mubba. Here's my contribution to your chocolate cult meeting.

Several Small Bags of Nacho Cheese Doritos (1 for each person)Shredded lettucetaco meatsour creamsalsashredded cheeseCrunch the doritos inside the bag and then open it. Add which ever of the other ingredients that suits your fancy. Eat with a fork (or spoon if you enjoy a challenge) straight out of the bag. These are great for big groups because they don't make much mess- you don't have to worry about balancing a plate and the what not. I hadn't ever tried these until this summer. Occasionally...

Personally, I think the new year doesn't happen until you actually consume an entire container of french onion dip and ruffles potatoe chips.And you have to get the ruffles with ridges. Because the ridges hold more of the onion dip goodness and stay crunchy. If you get the non ridgy kind then the chips get soggy between the dip and your mouth.Its easy.1 container of sour cream1 packet of lipton french onion soupmix it up. well. don't let any pockets of spice collect up, and make sure to scrape the...
Ah the Thanksgiving staple. I'm surprised you requested this, aren't you the one that refuses to allow it on the table? It was always my job to get this one going, probably because I would generally be the one to consume half the pan. Between this and mashed potatoes, I didn't eat a whole lot else on thanksgiving.For the record, the green beans really should be the french cut ones. The others work, but they don't quite bake into the sauce the same way.four normal sized cans of french cut green beans2...
Seriously, you didn't know this one by heart? Come on, I remember a time in Warroad when Aaron made these at least weekly. And then I made them for the seminary open house last year, and again they were a hit. There was a time we could whip these up in less time than it took for the toyota to drive from the library to 306 virginia street....But you do need a food processor... (Ok, remember the Christmas of the food processor? I know you all have one. Well, Emma and I don't, but that just means you...
Seriously, you know how at a restaurant the butter and the syrup sort of melt together and there is this hint of melty goodness that sits on top and you wish all of your syrup could taste like that first bite?This is that syrup.1 cube butter1/2 cup buttermilk3/4 cup sugarBoil it together, then once it boils, remove it from the heat. Add:1 tsp vanilla1 tsp baking sodaYummmmmmmmm...
I have been working on this for a few weeks now. It started with an Alton Brown episode, and then a Paula Dean Recipe, and I just started to manipulate it to be all my own! (I'm very proud of this, and frankly, its really good.)Noodles (I prefer stuff called campagnolle, it sticks to the cheese nicely. Shells work pretty well too, but its not as much fun to say as campagnolle. Come on, you know you want to say it out loud. Campagnolle!)FlourButter/MargarineOnion, cut up tinyMilk (or cream if you...
This is one I came up with for our Sunday Night Scrabble games. It is cheap and fast and conforms to most thing I always have around the house.Frozen Mixed VeggiesRamen NoodlesEggsChickenI'm poor, so I don't often actually use chicken, but if you have to feed protein to children, or to grandpa, then cut up a few chicken breasts into bite size chunks and cook them up in olive oil. Leave them and their grease in the pan while you continue to the next steps.Start with the veggies and some water in...
Make a pan of 13x9 brownies. Just before they're done, sprinkle marshmallows on top and continue baking until the marshmallows are toasty brown. Let them cool (mostly) and frost with chocolate icing.Here's the stories:I remember when we were bringing these to a ward/branch function and the pan was sitting uncovered on the padded console between the front seats in the Toyota. Dad was getting overly excited as he was driving and put his elbow into the pan of them. We got to eat them all ourselves,...
Aaron requested this recipe be put up, so here it is. It is a favorite holiday appetizer, as long as it is made right. An example of making it wrong is making it with Oscar Meyer salami instead of deli salami. We learned by experience that this does not work. So, when the grocery store is out of deli salami, find another grocery store. Ingredients:Salami or Cotto Salami circlesSmall pickles or pickle spears, the same length as the diameter of the salamiCream CheeseToothpicksSlather cream cheese...
In the interest of closing last month's little competition, I declare myself the winner.Okay, in fairness Jessica posted 12 recipes, and I only posted 11. But one of Jessica's is a repeat from earlier (Divinity).Melissa posted seven, but I disqualify two because she hasn't made them (this is me making up the rules after the fact, a process you should all be well acquainted with by now given our shared childhood experience). However, I added two points because she did post two pictures.Then, just...

Line the springform pan with plastic wrap. Fill the bottom of the pan with ice cream. Be sure you push it into the edges. Freeze again.Crush the cookies. Soften the next thing of ice cream. Take the cake out and put a layer of...
