Absolutely....
4 lbs Margarine, melted
3 c Peanut Butter (can be either smooth or chunky)
2 lbs. Powder Sugar
5 c. Graham Cracker Crumbs
30 oz. Milk Chocolate Chips, Melted

Mix the first 4 items together and press into a cookie sheet
Spread Melted Chocolate Chips over the top. Cool in the refrigerator
Before they completely set, score the bars so that they cut cleanly after they cool completely
Easy and Delicious!

Thanks BenzGirl. That's totally getting on the menu next week!

now that's a vegetarian meal I could get into... protein, dairy (in the chocolate) and graham crackers. Oh, and sugar comes from a plant, so it's a vegetable right??

greekchef,

I've just got to tell you that you're amazing. I've worked with a collegiate chapter on House Corp and we never stopped hearing complaints about the food, even when we asked the girls for suggestions. I think it's fantastic that you're actively looking for different menu options. Kudos!!

So here's a recipe that I absolutely love. (It only serves four or five but, hey, you're a chef so I'm sure you'll know how to increase it properly.)

Cranberry Chicken

1 whole chicken or chicken parts (I do the parts....skinless, of course)
1 envelope of Lipton Onion Soup mix
1 8 oz can of whole cranberries
1 regular sized bottle of Creamy French Dressing (I use Kraft)

Mix the dressing, cranberries, and soup mix together. Place chicken pieces in a 13" x 9" pan. Pour mixture over chicken. (I usually let it marinate, but it's fine not to.) Bake at 350 for 1 1/2 hours. No cover and don't baste.

That's it. Super easy. The ingredients sound gross but it's so good! The cranberry mixture should create a nice glaze on the chicken but leave enough sauce in the pan for pouring. Serve over rice with some nice green veggies. Yum! It's a nice winter meal.


Any interest in:

Tzatziki & Hummus platter with pita chips?
Waldorf Salad? (easy to make some vegetarian and some with chicken)
Noodle Kugle?

Darn it! Now I'm hungry.

You did not say if you live north or south.

If north, some easy fixings, Chili, Ham and Beans with corn bread.

Grilled Cheese and tomato soup or chicken noodle.

Tom's Gooy Buns:

Gind up hot dogs or balogna. Add mayo, sweet relish, a bit of horse radish, mustard.

Place on the bottom half of a deli bun.

Add cheez whiz on the top bottom half of the bun.

Put them together and bake in the oven for @ 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees or untill the bun is browned. The out side will be crispy and the inside will be soft and the cheese melted. Add sides as wanted, like baked beans, Mac and cheese, chip/deep.

Inside out burgers:

Make burger paddys with either swiss, bleu cheese, or sharp cheeder cheese sliced in the center and bake, fry, or grill. Again what ever sides selected.

Red Bean Salad:

2-3 types of red beans, add mayo, sweet pickle relish and mix.

Chef Salad bar and plenty of additives on the side with several dressings.

Tuna fish casaroul:

Make mac and cheese, mix in tuna fish. Layer with cheese, add crumbled crackers on top and add sliced green olives. Bake until the cheese is melted onto the mac and tuna.

Now if they like meat loaf, PM me!

The last time I had Cheese Wiz, I was probably in Grade School. I think I squirted my brother with it because I thought it was gross.

That was a big sheet pan (commercial size). When I make it at home, I divide the recipe by 4.

He did this the last time there was a recipe thread.

Man, with the writer's strike, even Earp is in repeats.
