Oreo Cookies - Homemade, of course!

I'm way behind on blogging, so do forgive me....

For Valentine's Day, I made Oreo cookies... DH was sure that it couldn't be done. I was skeptical, but determined to disprove him. I did.

I used Kate's Oreo recipe from here

They were SOOOOO good! Crunchy, Crispy. Better than store bought - and I didn't have to go to the store to get them!!!!!

Here's a picture:



I'm not a great food photographer -- mostly because my kids wanted the cookies, so it was a quick picture...

Enjoy!

Menu Plan Week of May 25, 2009



Here's my menu plan for the week.

Monday - leftovers (since we are going to a large picnic for lunch)

Tuesday - Chicken Salad on GF buns

Wednesday - Candied Chicken

Thursday - Calzones

Friday - Cinnamon Chicken

Saturday - Brown Sugar Chicken

Sunday - Salsa Chicken and Mexican Style Baked Potatoes (didn't get to it last week)

I do realize that we're eating a lot of chicken this week... It's going to be a busy week -- with a bulk pickup of 3400lbs of food on Friday, and then repackaging of it on Saturday.... just a bit busy.

Plus, a few weeks back, I was able to buy 40lbs of chicken breasts for $30 from Sams Club. Man, I love that place some days! Some day I'll find some time to thaw it out and pressure can it. (Yep, that's how chicken is part of my food storage!)

So, what are you eating this week?
