2 cans rotel

1/2 gallon milk

1/2 pack green onion,cut

In large, thick pot on low fire add cheese, rotel and milk. Stir so cheese doesn't burn on bottom. When all melted and mixed add chicken or seafood and green onions. Right before serving mix all the cooked noodles in pot with sauce and serve. Yummy!

Salad, Hummus, Brownies

Lonie's Salad Dressing

3/4 c. Vege. Oil

1/4 c. Lemon jc.

6 tsp minced garlic

Salt & pepper to taste

Make a salad with whatever you want and put lots of grated parmesan cheese in the salad (not

Salad dressing). Right before serving and dressing and toss. Dressing makes enough for a big bowl.

Hummus

3 cans chick peas ( drain 2 cans and save a few chick peas to garnish with)

1/2 c. Lemon jc.

1/4 c. Olive oil

1/4 c. Tahini (drug emporium sells it, not sure where to get it in town)

2 garlic cloves

2 tsp minced garlic

2 tsp salt

Black pepper

Crushed red pepper

Paprika, optional

Put all ingredients in food processor and leave it til it's creamy.

Spread on large plate-like serving dish and put a little circle of olive oil in center with a few chick peas on top of oil. You can sprinkle paprika over hummus if you want.

You can also serve in bowl with optional oil and chick peas in center.

You can serve with whole wheat pita bread. Cut pita bread in eight triangles.

The hummus is enough for about 2 packs of pita breads.

Brownie Sheet Cake

Cook a box of chocolate cake mix (any kind) according to package, but put in a jellyroll pan.

It's like a cookie sheet but has 1-2 inch sides.

Let cake cool a few mins before pouring on icing.

Icing

In saucepan over low fire add:

1 stick margarine

4 T. Cocoa

6 T. Buttermilk ( mix 1/2 reg. milk and 1 T. White vinegar then measure from there)

1 tsp. vanilla

1 box (1lb.) powered sugar

1 cup nut, optional

Mix well with a mixer so powered sugar isn't too lumpy. Pour over cake after it cooled for about 5 mins. or so.

Layered Salad, Easy Monkey Bread, Banana Bread

I'm writing some recipes that are very good:

8 layer salad

Layer 1-3 : two different lettuce and spinach ( clean and torn in small pieces)

Layer 4: sprinkle peas (frozen peas that have been thawed on paper towels)

Layer 5: green onions (one bunch, clean and chopped

Layer 6: six boiled eggs ( grated)

Layer 7: bacon (cut in small pieces and cook)

Layer 8: dressing (2 packs of original hidden valley ranch mix mixed with 2 cups sour cream and

2 cups mayo. Spread to all edges)

This makes a nice size pan. Make sure your pan is at least 2 in. deep.

2 small tubes biscuits

3T. Margarine or butter, melted

1/2 c. Syrup

1/3 c. Packed brown sugar

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Spray bundt pan with non stick spray. Combine butter and syrup in small bowl. Combine brown

sugar, cinnamon, & nuts in another bowl. Place half of the syrup mixture in bottom of pan then sprinkle 1/2 of sugar mixture on top. Lay the biscuits in pan angled and overlapping edges ( closely together) to form a ring. Top with remaining syrup and sugar mixtures. Bake @ 375 for about 15-20 min. until until golden brown. Cool for one minute then invert on plate. Yummy!
