Thread: Count Down to Valentine's Recipes!

Chocolate-Toffee Trifle

1 box chocolate cake mix or brownie mix
2 boxes (large) chocolate instant pudding mix
(milk a directed on pudding mix package)
1 tub Cool Whip
4-6 Heath Bar candy bars (or Skor)

Bake cake or brownies as directed, cool & break into chunks.
Make pudding as directed on package.
Crush Heath bars.

In a trifle bowl, repeat the following layers: cake, pudding, Cool Whip, Heath bar bits (sometimes I mix in the bits with the Cool Whip instead)
If you're *not* pregnant, you can add 1/4 c Kahlua and pour it over the cake to soak in before putting it in the trifle bowl.

This is a super-easy recipe and the ingredients can be kept on hand for "emergency" pot-luck needs! Kahlua or not, this is usually a big hit with a crowd and looks pretty, too!

Our very loved and favorite recipie is called Anniversary Chicken.
I love it cause it's so easy, and tastes so stinking yummy!

Brown as many chicken breasts as you need.
In a casserol dish, cover the chicken in barbeque sauce and ranch. It's about a 50/50 mix, and you need enough to cover the chicken.
Top is grated cheddar cheese, chives and some salt and pepper.

Cover and Bake at 350 for about 30 min.


HOW EASY IS THAT?!?!
We like to us Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce.

Healthy waffles

2 cups whole wheat flour
4 eggs
3 tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups milk
1 cup plain yogurt

Asparagus is an aphrodisiac *wiggles eyebrows suggestively* so eminently suitable for use as a side dish on Valentine's day!
I coat it in a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and a shake of sea salt, and then fry or grill until it goes a little bit sift. So yummy! I usually serve it with chicken breasts stuffed with cheese and wrapped in Parma ham, and baked in the oven for 30 mins. Yumsers!
