1) cook up your fav. bacon
2) bake one of those rolls of Grande bisquits
3) when the bisuits are cooled - slice them
4) spread apple butter on the slices.
5) break two slices of bacon per bisq. & top with your fav. sliced cheese.
6) put in a zip lock bag & grab & go.

This was so yummy and easy, I made it twice today. Put a tbsp or two of extra virgin coconut oil in a skillet on low heat ... add some chopped garlic and broccoli florets .. keep stirring .. then after 4-5 mins add some raw cashew pieces ... saute for another couple of mins and wa-laaa - a very satisfying snack (or side dish)

Easy snack/light dinner. Two tortillas w/ shredded or sliced cheese and jalapenos (2 or three flavors of cheese is great) or add canned chicken, sliced ham, sliced tomatoes, whatever. Spread one side of each tortilla w/margarine, or spray butter or brush w/olive oil, put the cheese in between, slap on the panini grill, and wham - 5 minutes to quesadillas!

Sounds yummy!

Do you drain the juice in the crushed pineapple? Or use the whole thing?

Hey Sher, that sounds good!

Was it served from the pan, or did she flip it out on a tray?

ETA: So just the cake mix and the butter? No following the instructions on the box?

I have never seen coconut oil. Where do you usually find it. I get sesame oil, but not sure where to look for coconut oil, want to try the broccoli recipe.

SHERBABE I LOVE YOU!

My grandma made this recipe sans the pineapple, and it was the best cherry "cobbler" I have ever had. I just couldn't remember how much butter. Thanks!

Boberg, you can get coconut oil at health food stores. I actually order mine over the net from here - Tropical Traditions. I also get their coconut cream which is a fantastic substitute for coconut milk -- no additives or aluminum, and you can adjust the amt easily, just spoon out however much you want. Stores at room temp. It is sooo delish in soups, rice, lentils, etc...

Yeah, just made that Dump Cake for last coffee break here at work... went over very well. Easy enough to keep the ingredients on hand in case you need to make a dessert in a snap, or if you have kids, its so simple, even they could make it :-)

I've been making dump cake for at least 20 years and my mom made it many years before me so its been around a very long time. My husband also likes it without the pineapple.

On the bettycrocker site that sherbabe gave the link for above, I was reading all the reviews on that Dump Cake and most say the same thing Twinkie, that they've been making it for years and the certain things they add to it.

also....if you have young girls that need a birthday cake, try the Betty Crocker Flip Flop Sandal Cake Super Easy

This is easy and good and actually low fat! You take a Devil's Food Chocolate Cake mix and mix it with a can of Pumpkin (398 mls) - but not pumpkin pie filling, pure pumpkin. I also add a tiny bit of water to make it easier to mix. I make muffins and bake according to cake mix times. Very good for choc-a-holics who don't want the extra fat.

The dump cake sounds good, I'll have to try that one.

Tried this tonight and it was quick & delicious.

Mix 2 tsp. dijon mustard w/2 tsp. olive oil and 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme

Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 8 tenders) w/salt and pepper. Brush mustard mixture on both sides.

Shred 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and pat onto both sides of chicken. (I used romano) Pat cheese onto chicken and put in line or sprayed pan.

Cook at 475 for 15 minutes or until golden brown and juices run clear. Meanwhile...

Mix 2 more tsp. olive oil, 2 tsp. dijon mustard and 1 tsp. water (I added a bit more thyme as well). Add 4 cups arugula (we decided spinach would be better) and toss. Add cherry tomatoes and a bit more shredded cheese.

Divide salad amongst 4 plates and top w/chicken breasts. (We added sunflower seeds too).

Healthy, easy and went from beginning to end in under 30 minutes!

penne pasta, a nice creamy basic white sauce, some sun dried tomatoes, some shrimp, some panchetta, and smoked gouda melted (grate the cheese) to pull it all together.

Also some without the meat, or chicken if your prefer. a side salad with garlic bread to finish it off

Maple Syrup Corn Bread

In a medium bowl mix:
1 1/4 Cup flour
1 cup corn meal
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

In a smaller bowl mix:
3/4 cup low fat milk
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 egg
3 TB. butter, melted

Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until moistened. Bake in preheated, 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

This is wonderful w/butter since it's still got a hint of maple syrup flavor, but it's BEST warm, with butter AND heated maple syrup! :-)

I stink at cooking and usually even my crock pot stuff turns out "okay" at best. But this crock pot lasagna was very easy and very good!! And I got it from the Duggar Family website!!

Now their recipe called for about twice as much, so here is what I recommend when you have a 4 quart crockpot--and it will fill it to the top.

SLOW COOKER LASAGNA
2 pounds ground chuck
2 (24oz.) jar spaghetti sauce
about 16 lasagna noodles (I didn't count, but used about half a box??)
24 oz. cottage cheese (maybe a bit more started running out on the last layer. Maybe 30 oz to be sure)
1 pack dried Italian seasoning
2/3 cups water
2 (4oz.) cans of mushrooms (I skipped this)
3 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (I'd use 4 cups next time as I was running out on the last layer)

Cook beef and Italian seasoning in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until beef crumbles; drain.
Combine spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, seasoned meat and water in bowl.
Layer thinly in bottom of lightly greased 4-quart electric crock pot: 4 uncooked noodles, sauce mixture, cottage cheese & mozzarella cheese. Repeat for each layer.
Cover & cook on high setting for 1 hour; reduce heat & cook on low setting for 4 hours. Can do ahead and store in fridge!! Yields 8 Servings (one FULL 4 quart Crock Pot!!!)

Teach, yum. What size pan? Greased? Floured?
