I've heard raves about the Green Monster smoothie, so I decided to finally give it a try! It's actually really good and filling! As someone who just recently started eating spinach salads (and will not eat lettuce ones, yuck) and will probably tire of that quickly, this is another great way to get some fruits and veggies in me! I have no idea where this recipe came from, if it's yours and you want credit, let me know! :)<br />

They're pretty easy, but this recipe makes A LOT of dough for the truffles (I actually refrigerated some of the dough because I got tired of making truffles) and no matter what you do, this is a really messy recipe. I recommend taking off any wedding/engagement rings and wearing an apron while making these. The recipe is from my good friend Shannon.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6vs1n8v_e56lQ0TqbEY2vhTlmLE6niYiPioVe-GuhGt0gtpkcwkx9sTwa__Gqkf5dUsxZOgMWjG0p-aGh0XjJc_AIaptfXNxmJOVieak7yBa416hXkShpmbaXuBb-0thMYo2a5YdP6vQ/s1600/IMG_3514.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6vs1n8v_e56lQ0TqbEY2vhTlmLE6niYiPioVe-GuhGt0gtpkcwkx9sTwa__Gqkf5dUsxZOgMWjG0p-aGh0XjJc_AIaptfXNxmJOVieak7yBa416hXkShpmbaXuBb-0thMYo2a5YdP6vQ/s320/IMG_3514.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />
(1) 1 bag of Dark Chocolate melts (candy making chocolate, you can buy it at Party City or Michaels). I had to use semi sweet chocolate chips because the recipe had to be nut free for work and the baking chocolate was made in a factory with peanuts. It worked just fine.<br />
(2) 1 pound packages of Oreos<br />
(3) 8 oz of Cream Cheese<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
(1) Let the cream cheese sit out a little so it is soft<br />
<br />
(2) Dump all the Oreos into a ziploc bag, seal the bag and then smash the oreos into crumbs (I used a heavy coffee mug to do the smashing). Be careful because my bag ripped in a few spots, so my counter got a bit messy. I think maybe smashing less Oreos at a time would be a good idea. I stuck both packages in the bag at the same time.<br />
<br />

(3) In a large bowl mix the Cream Cheese and Oreo Crumbs with an electric mixer until no white is visible. That takes a lot of arm work and a lot of time to thoroughly blend them together. It will look like it is impossible when you start out, but stick with it. My mixer wasn't big enough to handle all of it at once, so I had to scoop some out and add it in again later. This step was annoying, messy, and took forever, but it was worth it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeLVXSD5ecpXCGfSrKfgVGJHKLjPozpAw4TgjaYYoIpSTPgh2nKQIg4qp4XdcnwzAoTBFSHEoel3FDovcqKSHwF6B06cbHQuQsRZ9CunJ7AMmVZH9oXniGZVLazVembyZA8zTXJMuyMB0/s1600/IMG_3517.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeLVXSD5ecpXCGfSrKfgVGJHKLjPozpAw4TgjaYYoIpSTPgh2nKQIg4qp4XdcnwzAoTBFSHEoel3FDovcqKSHwF6B06cbHQuQsRZ9CunJ7AMmVZH9oXniGZVLazVembyZA8zTXJMuyMB0/s320/IMG_3517.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />
(4) When you are done mixing put the dough in the fridge for about 20 minutes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirfMttcXf8DPiZpY0jaQuH1Gh73qNLDgwJBsS6CGDaU3kNZChZuGP53qk-kV4PHH4t7be1lVBPU3bnOIyDs3OP6xW5qxqMaYm6lBw3FPvvsOwwd5QkTD_D5H0WX37Pa02DK6iWFpBdWJw/s1600/IMG_3519.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirfMttcXf8DPiZpY0jaQuH1Gh73qNLDgwJBsS6CGDaU3kNZChZuGP53qk-kV4PHH4t7be1lVBPU3bnOIyDs3OP6xW5qxqMaYm6lBw3FPvvsOwwd5QkTD_D5H0WX37Pa02DK6iWFpBdWJw/s320/IMG_3519.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />
(5) Melt the chocolate melts in the microwave stopping to stir every 30 seconds until they are all melted.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr-VRFvLLYHo2c_ek_fx8vQpmJ8pHbbVPDyEikXzODxTGBI9gPKTYvF1XoPziG5WcN27exRLF6Kz7Lj38vbkYxx9zgdj72MX6FWv3-sxdPlzIhspQ14ioNtsEF9qKDCPHhxI0Mf3Mp5bk/s1600/IMG_3521.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr-VRFvLLYHo2c_ek_fx8vQpmJ8pHbbVPDyEikXzODxTGBI9gPKTYvF1XoPziG5WcN27exRLF6Kz7Lj38vbkYxx9zgdj72MX6FWv3-sxdPlzIhspQ14ioNtsEF9qKDCPHhxI0Mf3Mp5bk/s320/IMG_3521.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Once the dough is cold enough and chocolate is melted, create 1 inch round balls with the dough (I do it the same way I made balls out of play doh when I was younger, just roll it around in your hands.) Then dunk the ball into the chocolate and spoon out onto a tray that is covered with Parchment Paper (the chocolate will not stick to the paper and will just peel off). Once they are dry (I popped mine into the fridge for awhile to speed this up) peel them off and put them in a tupperware container. You should keep them in the fridge.<br />

These truffles are really rich and chocolately, but sooo good! My personal opinion is that you can't have more than 1 or maybe 2 at a time, but everyone I know that has tried these loves them! I'll be sure to let you all know if I win the bake-off this week! :)Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08292564472177993607noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603732850658497584.post-64190779689647290922010-02-02T15:09:00.000-08:002010-02-02T15:58:01.503-08:00Swiss Stuffing ChickenGot this yummy recipe from <a href="http://kellyskornerrecipes.blogspot.com/2009/03/swiss-stuffing-chicken.html">Kelly. <br /><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMcYA_mQEhG4iu4TkOi6_ii9Ez-Q2_vbM5TTzXOdujyhOFSP7G53wvBZuCZPioBho64fBD1TLvWtsjjctrmlXE6_mTxiVRb5wKCMMlCfwVpMsSs6pYiQcuD7_0H4kIMA6UWOy229ekTko/s1600-h/IMG_3002.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMcYA_mQEhG4iu4TkOi6_ii9Ez-Q2_vbM5TTzXOdujyhOFSP7G53wvBZuCZPioBho64fBD1TLvWtsjjctrmlXE6_mTxiVRb5wKCMMlCfwVpMsSs6pYiQcuD7_0H4kIMA6UWOy229ekTko/s320/IMG_3002.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433798698022119090" /></a><div><br /></div><div>2 large skinless boneless chicken breasts<br />6 oz.

I don't know if I ever mentioned it on here, but Shannon and I lived together for about 6 months before Jeff bought a house and asked me to move in. I came in one night and she was making this candy. I tried some, loved it, and asked her for the recipe! She said her sister used to make this during the holidays, and now that her sister is sadly no longer with us, she makes it to honor her. It's so good and such an easy recipe! I make a batch for my family and Jeff's family every Christmas and everyone loves it!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidY1r8naqZDe_4Us_WDtqnqKYceYmjhcsTUYklvDeAnmB64hbxIbcl5bFBUeiKyV-VKB2cohAkQCHtZCmzLnmlONPoPrV95-eFNnKmN95OLXkRx0_-nMjwAVzqpZCyGAu19tmSSMhIv9lI/s1600-h/IMG_2944.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidY1r8naqZDe_4Us_WDtqnqKYceYmjhcsTUYklvDeAnmB64hbxIbcl5bFBUeiKyV-VKB2cohAkQCHtZCmzLnmlONPoPrV95-eFNnKmN95OLXkRx0_-nMjwAVzqpZCyGAu19tmSSMhIv9lI/s320/IMG_2944.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418244946431361922" /></a><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">You need:</span></div><div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">1 8 x 8 pan 1 stick of butter </span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">3/4 cup of brown sugar </span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; ">1 cup crushed nuts.

It's so easy:<br /><br />Ingredients:<br />* Boneless chicken breast (however many you want/can fit into the crock pot)<br />* 1-2 cans of cream of chicken soup (1 if you're doing 3-4 breasts, 2 if you do more)<br />* Frozen corn<br />* Potatoes (again, depends on how many people you're serving this to, I usually use 2 larger ones for Jeff and I and it's too much!)<br /><br />Directions:<br />* Put the cream of chicken soup in the crock pot and mix with 1/2 can of water (if you use 1 can of soup) or 1 can of water (if you use 2 cans of soup).<br />* Let the chicken and soup cook on low for several hours<br />* About 2 hours before you want to have dinner, put the potatoes and corn in and cook on high<br />* I usually make rice to go along with this and spoon the crock pot dish out on top!
