Sugar Tit Recipe

Now there are many different things that people think that this is. For me my mom called sugar tits the left over bits of pie crust baked with sugar, sugar tits.
We loved them! This is a variation of my own way. You can do it the traditional way and wait until you bake a pie and use the left over bits of crust or use the recipe I have concocted :)

Chicken Queso

I think that this weekend I am going to work on making a cream cheese based chicken queso dip! Sounds sooo yummy! And I also want to do something with bacon and cupcakes! Sounds pretty good. I will try to be a little healthy on the bacon and use turkey bacon.

Have a wonderful long weekend everyone!

Chocolate Chip Swirl Cookie recipe

I came up with this for a friends birthday. Need to make some more!

3 sticks of butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups self-rising flour
1 tablespoon of vanilla
2 pkgs ghirardelli chocolate chips 60% Cocoa (I chose these because the chips are larger)
1 pkg of melted unsweetened chocolate (Nestle Pre-Melted)

Cream the butter and sugar, add the eggs and mix until thick and smooth. Next mix in the vanilla. Slowly add the sugar, once combined add the chocolate chips. Slowly add the melted chocolate and lightly fold it so it doesn't fully mix and looks "swirly"
Bake at 350* for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Super buttery and flaky. After they have cooled microwaving them before eating makes it sooo delicious and less crunchy.

Quick Pulled BBQ Chicken

7-8 Chicken tenders or 4-5 Chicken breasts
5 Tablespoons soy sauce

1/2 cup favorite BBQ sauce (I use Sweet Baby Rays or Famous Daves)

Make a large foil "pocket". Place the chicken inside and pour the rest of the ingredients evenly on top. Take more foil and enclose it.

The Teriyaki Steak sandwiches

The Teriyaki Steak sandwiches were amazing! I don't have a picture they were devoured too quickly but here is the recipe. I didn't find my pineapple juice so I substituted with orange juice, worked just fine.

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (I use kikoman, shoyu is good)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon of worcestshire sauce
3/4 cup orange juice (pineapple juice is best, apple is good with chicken)
1/4 cup of agave (better for you than sugar but if you don't have it use brown sugar)
3 cloves of garlic, smashed and finely chopped
2 tablespoons of fresh ginger root, finely diced (cut off a piece, cut off the "bark" and use the yellowish white insides)

3 Celery Sticks cut to bite size
1/2 Red Onion chopped to bite size
