Home Made Oreos
Preparation
Set two racks in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 375°F.
In a food processor, or bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, salt, and sugar. While pulsing, or on low speed, add the butter, and then the egg. Continue processing or mixing until dough comes together in a mass.
Take rounded teaspoons of batter and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet approximately two inches apart. With moistened hands, slightly flatten the dough. Bake for 9 minutes, rotating once for even baking. Set baking sheets on a rack to cool.
[**Fear not if they look underbaked. They’re the kind of cookies that puff and look wet after 9 minutes (really, no more time is needed, even a minute less if your oven runs hot), then as you sit them on their tray for three minutes after baking, they all deflate and firm up, making them easy to shift to a cooling rack. They end up firmer than many chocolate chip cookies, but softer than your typical Oreo.**]
To make the cream, place butter and shortening in a mixing bowl, and at low speed, gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 2 to 3 minutes until filling is light and fluffy.
To assemble the cookies, in a pastry bag with a 1/2 inch, round tip, pipe teaspoon-size blobs of cream into the center of one cookie. Place another cookie, equal in size to the first, on top of the cream. Lightly press, to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie. Continue this process until all the cookies have been sandwiched with cream. Dunk generously in a large glass of milk.

GARLIC BREAD MEATBALL SUB
A meatball is made from an amount of ground meat rolled into a small ball, sometimes along with other ingredients, such as breadcrumbs, minced onion, spices, possibly eggs and herbs. Meatballs are usually prepared and rolled by hand, and are cooked by frying, baking, steaming, or braising in sauce.
There are many types of meatball recipes using different types of meats and spices, including vegetarian and fish alternatives, and various methods of preparation.
MEATBALL INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
1 egg, beaten
1 1/4 cups bread crumbs (Italian seasoned)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 of a small yellow onion, finely chopped
1- 28 ounce jar marinara
1- 28ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flake
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg, beaten
1 1/4 cups bread crumbs (Italian seasoned)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 of a small yellow onion, finely chopped
1- 28 ounce jar marinara
1- 28ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flake
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
SUB INGREDIENTS
12 – 4 inch french bread rolls, sliced open
2 sticks butter
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Chopped parsley for garnish
2 sticks butter
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Chopped parsley for garnish
DIRECTIONS
In your slow cooker, combine marinara, crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, red pepper flake, and garlic powder.
In a large bowl, use your hands to mix together ground chuck, egg, bread crumbs, fresh parsley, garlic, and yellow onion. Combine well.
Divide the meat mixture into 30-36 meatballs. I used a heaping tablespoon of meat mixture for each meatball.
Place the meatballs in the sauce mixture and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for about 4 hours.
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
In the microwave, melt two sticks of butter (about 1 minute will do) in a bowl. To the melted butter, add 2 teaspoons garlic powder and dried parsley.
Brush melted butter liberally over all 10-12 rolls. Bake the rolls in the oven for about 6-7 minutes, then remove from the oven and turn the broiler on.
Place about three meatballs on each sub, and spoon some of the sauce over the meatballs. Top with mozzarella cheese, and parsley, if you’d like, for garnish. Broil for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted. Cool for a minute or two and serve immediately.Keep an eye on the subs so that the bread does not burn!

STRAWBERRY POP TARTS
Pop-Tarts have a sugary filling sealed inside two layers of rectangular, thin pastry crust. Most varieties are also frosted.
Ingredients
Pie crust, refrigerated or homemade (see below)
Jam or PreservesGlaze or Egg Wash
Sparkling Sugar
Jam or PreservesGlaze or Egg Wash
Sparkling Sugar
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. (I went by the temp setting on the box, the original recipe calls for 450.)
Unroll one of the pie crusts and square the edges. Cut into rectangles. Place 1 tsp of jam in the center of a rectangle and top with another piece of crust. Crimp all four edges. Repeat until all of the pie crust is used. I also took the rounded edges that I cut off and rolled them together to form more pop-tarts. They weren’t as “pretty” as the others, but I hate to waste food.
Bake the pop-tarts for about 7 – 8 minutes or until slightly brown. Once cool, pour glaze over and decorate with sugar. If you don’t want to add extra sugar with the glaze, you can use an egg wash on the tops with some white sugar.
Take one pie crust rectangle, fill with a tsp of jam. Cover with another piece of pie crust. Crimp all four edges. Repeat until you run out of pie crust. Bake at 450F for abou7-8 minutes or until slightly brown. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, pour glaze on to Pop-tart and decorate with sparkling sugar.
To Make the Glaze:
1 cup powder sugar
milk to thin
Place powdered sugar in bowl. Pour milk slowly until it has a consistency of really thick syrup.

3 large eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrot
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (3 1/2-ounce) can flaked coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts
Preparation
1. Line 3 (9-inch) round cake pans with wax paper; lightly grease and flour wax paper. Set pans aside.
2. Stir together flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Beat eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk and vanilla at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add flour mixture, beating at low speed until blended. Fold in carrot, coconut, pinapple and walnuts.
4. Pour batter into prepared cake pans.
5. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Drizzle Buttermilk Glaze (recipe below) evenly over layers (I only used about 2/3 of the prepared glaze which I thought was perfect!); cool in pans on wire racks 15 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
6. Once the cake is cooled, slice each layer in half to give you a total of 4 layers. More layers = more frosting = me happy! Note: I put the 2 cake layers in the freezer for 45 minutes to make slicing them in half easier.
7. Make the cream cheese frosting according the recipe below. You can use a canned frosting but it won’t hold a candle to this delicious homemade icing!
8. Spread Cream Cheese Frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. I’m a BIG frosting person so I made 1 1/2 batches of the cream cheese frosting to make sure the cake was completely covered. I also sprinkled chopped walnuts in between each frosted layer to take it over the top.
