This Week's Concoctions Ending 7/23

Here are some highlights of items that I made this week other than the "Weekly Cookie"

These are banana pudding squares. It was for the kids book club that mentioned bananas. It has a crumb bottom, a layer of bananas, banana pudding and cool whip on top (not pictured).

This is from Betty Crocker. It was super easy to make and very good!

BBQ Chicken Fajitas

This is a candy bar pudding pie. It has cut up Three Musketeers, Snickers and Milk Ways on the bottom and then pudding on the top. I think it would've looked better if I had used chocolate pudding, but I only had vanilla and I didn't feel like going to the store. Maybe one day I will able to make my own pie crust successfully...

This is a flu-curing Clementine smoothie. It has 2 clementines, a banana, lemon juice, almond extract and milk. It also called for an avocado, but that sounded unappetizing. However, this smoothie was not very good. Patrick thought adding some vanilla protein powder would make it better but it made it worse.

As part of our vegetable share, we have been getting a lot of beets so I have made several different dishes. I had a half jar of pesto so....

Pesto Roasted Beets

On a side note, this week I made chili. I was out of chili powder, but I noticed that I had a jar of chipotle chili powder. I made the substitution and it was so hot (I generally don't eat a lot of hot foods). I sat there eating it with a box of Kleenex.
