S'Mores Dessert

Ingredients:

graham cracker crumbs..about 2 cups

1 stick of butter

1 can condensed milk

1 bag chocolate morsels

1 bag of mini marshmallows

1 cup of pecans optional

Make the crust by stirring together the graham crackers crumbs and the melted butter until it is all moist. Pack into the bottom of a greased 9X13 pan. Pour a can of condensed milk over the crust. Sprinkle the chocolate on that. Sprinkle the pecans if you want on top of that. Add a few marshmallows and pack them down with a fork. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Remove and add more marshmallows to the top and cook for a few more minutes until the marshmallows are all gooey and brown. Let cool completely and cut into squares.

I don't have a picture cause, well, they were pretty much eaten before I got a chance to!

You can add pretty much anything on top of the condensed milk...butterscotch, peanut butter, white chocolate, cut up candy bars, etc....you might just want to omit the marshmallows on those!

Chinese Chicken Salad

sugar
vegetable oil



Directions:

Cut cabbage up into bite size pieces. (Don't use the colesalw mix!) Cut up green onions. In a large bowl, put cabbage, green onions, almonds, and chicken. Take the flavor pouch out of the raman noodles. Break the noodles up with your hands until they aren't one big blob anymore! Add to the bowl.

Dressing:

4 TBSP. sugar
1/2 cup oil
4 TBSP. Rice vinegar.

Drizzle all over salad. Put a lid on the salad and mix it by shaking the bowl around. Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes so the dressing can mix in. You may need to add a tad more vinegar. The sugar should dissolve completly.
