Broccoli Cheese Soup
1 small onion, chopped
6 tblsp. butter
6 tblsp. unsifted flour
3 c. water
5 c. fresh broccoli, cut into large bite-size pieces
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
4 c. shredded cheddar cheese
2 c. half & half
In a large pot, cook onion in butter until tender; stir in flour until smooth. Slowly add the water while whisking. Then add bouillon cubes, broccoli, and Worcestershire sauce. Don't worry, it will look like a lot of broccoli and not a lot of liquid. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and slowly add half & half. Then add cheese one handful at a time, stirring each addition until melted before adding the next handful. Return to the lowest heat setting possible until ready to serve, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let the soup boil once you've added the cheese, or it will curdle and separate. Serves approximately 8 people.

Apple Crisp
8 medium apples (I use granny smith)1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. oats
1 c. butter or margarine
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat the sides and bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with butter or margarine. Peel and core apples. Slice apples and place in coated baking dish. At this point you may want to put a few tablespoons of water (no more than 3) in the dish with the apples to keep them moist while baking. Mix the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg together. Mix in butter until totally incorporated and mixture is in very small "pea-size" crumbs - sometimes it is easiest to use your hands. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples in the baking dish. Bake 30-40 minutes until the apples are tender and topping is golden brown.

Recipe Helps
Here's a very cool website that you can type in the ingredients you have and it will give you a recipe including those ingredients. I haven't tried any of these, but I just thought I'd throw it out there for anyone who wants to know and try it. If you do, leave a comment and let me know how it went!
www.recipematcher.com
www.recipematcher.com
Did you know?
DID YOU KNOW? (Some of these are cooking related and some are not, but just bear with me! It's all good info!)
*Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little 'stringy things' off of it.
*Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
*Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!
*Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.
*Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
*To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up.
*For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.
*Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.
*Leftover snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Yummm!
*Reheat Pizza: Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza.
*Easy Deviled Eggs: Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.
*Expanding Frosting: When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.
*Reheating refrigerated bread: To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
*Newspaper weeds away: Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
*Broken Glass: Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.
*No More Mosquitoes: Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.
*Flexible vacuum: To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in nar-row openings.
*Reducing Static Cling: Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and ... ta da! .... static is gone.
*Measuring Cups: Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
*Foggy Windshield? Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!
*Reopening envelope: If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.
*Conditioner: Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.
*Goodbye Fruit Flies: To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2' with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid; mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!
*Get Rid of Ants: Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS: The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something; he took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material . I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. Well the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free ... that nice fragrance too. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box ... well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long! How about that!?!

Octopus Hotdogs
Don't be freaked out by the title, it's just a fun new way to eat a hotdog!
Cut each hot dog almost in half lengthwise, leaving ¾ inch uncut at the top. Turn hot dog sideways and do the same so that there are four "legs" to the octopus. Place in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes (or until dogs are cooked). The "legs" will curl. Place on plate head up, then you can add squirts of mustard or ketchup for eyes. Use your imagination!

Fajitas
I forget about these and don't make them very often, but they're sure good!
3 chicken breasts
2 green peppers
1 onion
1 tomato
1 packet Lawry's Fajita seasoning
Cut the chicken breasts into strips and cook in olive oil. Then remove from pan and in the same pan, cook the green peppers and onion until tender. Add the chicken back in, the seasoning packet and 1/4 c. water. Bring to boil and then turn down to low and sit for 3-5 minutes just simmering. Add the tomato slices and let it sit about 1-2 minutes. Serve a scoop of stuff in the middle of a tortilla with sour cream on the top. Roll up and enjoy! (You can use whatever seasoning you like, but we really like the Lawry's. And you can also use ground beef or steak. We just prefer chicken. You can do guacamole or salsa too. Be creative!)

Place the remaining milk in a mixing bowl; beat in pudding mixes on low speed for 2 minutes. Place pudding in the fridge for 3-4 minutes to set up a bit.
To assemble, crumble half of the cake into a 4 qt. Trifle bowl or large bowl. Layer with half of the peanut butter sauce, pudding, Cool Whip and ½ of the crumbled Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups; repeat layers ending with Cool Whip and remaining ½ of crumbled Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
