New Creation

I was in a store one day with my Mom and I saw these really yummy looking cookies...at least that's what I thought they were. So I walked closer, and to my surprise, I had a yummy food with my name. They were "Brookies."

"They're not just a brownie...They're not just a cookie...They're a brookie!"

So I decided to try and make them at home. So here they are...Brooke's Brookies! They are really yummy. And you can tell the difference between the brownie and the cookie.

Yummy Fruit Salad

1 lg box cook n' serve vanilla pudding
1 lg box strawberry Jell-o
4 c. water
1 medium container of heavy whipping cream
3 cups fruit

Bring to boil (low) pudding and water. Add jello to pudding, continue at low boil until thickens. Chill in fridge for 2-3 hours. Whip heavy whipping cream on highest setting until thick. Add to chilled jello, mix well. Add fruit.

Monster Cookies

1/2 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup + 2 TBSP brown sugar
2 cups peanut butter
3 eggs
1 tsp corn syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla
4 1/2 cups quick oats
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup m&m's
1 cup chocolate chips


Combine all ingredients. Mix well. Drop onto cookie sheet. (notice the name, monster cookies, so make them kinda big - small ones are good also.) Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

Creamy Crockpot Chicken

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 tsp. dried basil
salt/pepper to taste
1 bottle Italian dressing
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp. dried thyme

In a crockpot, combine chicken and Italian dressing. Cook on LOW until chicken is tender. Drain off most of the dressing and discard. Shred the chicken and return to crockpot. Combine remaining ingredients and mix until smooth. Pour mixture over chicken and stir to cover. Cook for 1 more hour on LOW. Serve over pasta or rice.
