This Week's Concoctions Ending 7/2

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


I have never successfully pan fried anything without scorching the food and/or the pan until this week. It was great. I was very pleased and Patrick really liked it.

Pan Fried Chicken

So every Wednesday night in the summer, I have been baking for this kids book thing so I found this recipe that I was able to use my whole milk in pudding form. However I didn't read the directions correctly so it didn't come out right. The brownie bottom came out ok and then I was supposed to poke holes in the brownies and pour the milk-pudding mix over it. But I didn't let the pudding set so it was like liquid that didn't fill the holes. So I tried to fix it by putting a container of cool whip over it but I felt like it was a gooey gross mess so....

Pudding Smothered Brownies

I made these instead. This recipe tends to be my backup because it is very easy to make (brownie mix, egg and oil). I think I made 32 in about 30 minutes. I first made these as part of my Christmas cookie selection and it has become a favorite in my house.

Brownie Cookies

We started receiving our fruit share recently and this past week, we received 3 quarts of strawberries! So I used a little over a quart on this pie.

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

Hot Chocolate Cake

My attempt of making chocolate pudding pie...

I hate, hate making pies. I am obviously awful at it. This crust is not homemade...it is a store bought roll out crust! So I just made pudding and Patrick is eating that.

Baked macaroni and cheese

This recipe is from Pinterest where you boil the pasta in milk instead of water for 20 minutes then add in cheese and bake it if you want. I have a hard time making homemade mac and cheese too plus I don't like it (I only like the Kraft box!!). I used panko bread crumbs on top. It came out kind of dry and Patrick wasn't crazy about it.
