No oil pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

SO these little babies are not pretty. They are sometimes so ugly that my kids have decided to call them pumpkin dookies if you catch my drift but they are tasty easy and are a little bit more healthy than your every day pumpkin cookie.  

PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (DOOKIES)

1 box of carrot cake mix

1 small can of pumpkin puree

1 bag of chocolate chips (or less if you are watching your sugar intake)

Preheat oven to 350, spray a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper. Mix all the ingredients together. drop on the sheet and bake in a pre heated oven for 15-20 minutes.  

THE END

Pretty easy!!

Fancy Puff Pastry Deconstructed Chicken Pot Pie-Great for Entertaining!!

This is really a cool concept! The first time I saw this idea was at the Lion House Pantry. Unfortunately I have no idea what their recipe is but I really love how mine turns out! This is just my recipe for chicken pot pie filling and a great puff pastry square! It is great for serving at a party too! So much less complicated! 

Fancy Puff Pastry Deconstructed 

Chicken Pot Pie

Makes enough for 12 squares

2 sheets of puff pastry thawed

2lbs of chicken breast cooked and diced

1 Cup of sliced carrots

1 C peas

1 C sliced celery

2 potatoes peeled and diced

1 onion diced

1/3 C butter

1/3 C flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp thyme

2 C chicken broth

1 C milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a pan with parchment paper. Cut your puff pastry sheets into 12 squares and place on the parchment. Place the carrots celery and potato in a sauce pan and cover just barely with water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for approx 15 min or until the veggies are fork tender.Drain. Meanwhile, melt the butter in another sauce pan and onion and saute until the onion is translucent.  Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and thyme. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat. Mix milk mixture and veggies together.  Add the peas and the chicken. Allow to heat through. Place the puff pastry in the preheated oven and cook until the pastries are golden and puffed. 15-20 min approx. 

 Once the pastry squares have rested about 5 min. place one in an individual serving dish and ladle the chicken pot pie mix over the top with the desired amount of "gravy". Enjoy!! 

PS wouldn't it be cool if we cut the pastries out in fun shapes too!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats

Rice Crispy Treats are a staple goody in our home. We really love them and they are easy enough that almost all the kids are able to make them, Even Sarah our 7 year old is almost there.  If it weren't for my fear of her using the stove she would be. This is the recipe we use and how we have jazzed them up.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Treats

1 stick of butter

16 oz mini marshmallows

7 cups rice crispies

1 C Peanut butter Chips

1 C Milk Chocolate chips

Grease a 9x13 pan. Melt the butter and marshmallows together. Mix the marshmallow mix and the rice crispies together.  Add chips. Mix in being careful not to mix so much that the chips melt entirely. Press into the pan with a the back of a buttered spoon. Wait for them to cool before cutting. ENJOY!!
