STRAWBERRY DESSERT

OH MY!!!! This one is SUPER EASY to make!!!!!

Serve with whipped cream on top!
Ingredients:
2 Betty Crocker Sugar cookie mixes
16 ounces softened cream cheese
2 cups sugar
1 to 2 cups whipped cream or cool whip
2 or 3 lbs. strawberries washed and sliced
Strawberry glaze - you can buy it in jars, box mixes or make it using cornstarch
Whipped Cream for topping
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375.
Prepare the cookie mixes with the butter and egg as the directions on the bags say to. Spread in a Texas sheet cake pan (like 10x15 I think) to make the crust. Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Mix softened cream cheese and sugar with hand mixer until well blended. Then fold in the whipped cream or cool whip. When cookie crust is done and slightly cooled spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
Then mix strawberries with glaze of your choice (or even just mix strawberries with sugar and let sit overnight in fridge and they would work) and pour the mixture over the top and chill for about four hours or more.
Serve with whipped cream on top!
Enjoy!

Concentrated Laundry Smoothie aka Laundry Soap



1 bar of bath soap - Any works (Ivory for sensitive skin)
1 c. 20 Mule Team Borax
1 c. Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (NOT BAKING SODA)
4 c. water
2 quart canning jars with lids
Start out by grating your bar of soap with a hand grater or food processor. (Photo 1)
Place deep pot (like for stews) on stove with water in it. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to about 340° or medium and add soap shavings to water.
This is where you MUST stir until soap is completely dissolved. Should take about 10 minutes to fully dissolve well. If you are not sure, just keep going for the full 10 minutes. Do not stir briskly. Just enough to keep the contents mixed. Otherwise you will get a sudsy pot and that will be a disaster!
DO NOT BOIL this water, just allow it it do the work for 10 straight minutes. You should not have more bubbles than shown (Photo 2). Remove from heat.
Add Borax and Washing Soda to water. Stir well and continually for another 5 minutes or until there are no more gritty granules on the bottom of pan. Again, if you are not sure, just mix for the full 5 minutes. It really does need it.
Split the mixture between the two jars equally. You will have space left over in the jar. Add enough water to bring mixture just to the shoulders of the jar. You want to leave about 1" space for air. Seal tightly and turn jars upside down.
Leave them alone for 4 hours. You will see the liquid separate from the solid. Yes, it will be very solid, too. Do not shake, stir or touch for the 4 hours. Just watch as the magic happens.
After 4 hours, remove lid and pour contents into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. (Photo 3 & 4)
If you have a regular neck jar, not wide mouth, you can actually take the blade off your blender and attach to the jar itself. Then put jar onto blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Put label on jars so it is not accidentally thought to be edible.
Enough for approx. 100 loads of laundry
TO USE:
Top Load Machines:
Place dirty clothes into machine.
Let water start to fill (temp of water doesn't matter)
Put 1 Tablespoon of your laundry smoothie under the running water in machine.
Close lid and let it do the work for you!
Front Load Machines:
Place dirty clothes into machine.
Put 1 Tablespoon of laundry smoothie directly on clothes. Yes, it won't hurt them.
Close door and let it do the work for you!
(NOTE: Do NOT place laundry smoothie into dispensers. It is safe to put directly onto the clothes because it has been broken down already.)
IMPORTANT... PLEASE READ
Do NOT Use Baking Soda or Oxy-clean with this recipe thinking that it will add a boost to your wash. Your jars will likely explode within 7-10 days in storage (It's been done!)
Because the Soaps have been completely dissolved in this recipe, there will be NO residue on your clothing like many other homemade detergent recipes.
If you leave your detergent sitting more than 5 hours without blending it, you will most likely see it get a grainy texture. It should be light, smooth, silky feeling with no "gritty" feeling whatsoever. If it Does have grit, that means that it did Not dissolve properly in the mixing process.
What do I do if it's too grainy or if it doesn't separate? No worries here. If it's too grainy or doesn't separate, it just means that the soaps were not fully dissolved. You can spoon the mixture back into your pot and remelt it until it is smooth. Try not to breathe in the fumes, remember, you are making detergent! Once it feels "smooth" pour it back into the mason jars. Let it set a few hours and then whip.
Gritty Soap- if your soap is mostly smooth with only a little "grit" feeling, it will still work fine, but may not dissolve well in cold water.
If you have moderately gritty soap that DID separate, but you don't feel like it's "good enough" to use in your laundry, then use it as a super stain remover for those stubborn stains.
If your soap is real gritty or didn't separate, you will need to remelt it over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Dial Bath Bar = .85 bar

Arm & Hammer Washing Soda 55 oz box = 6.875 cups - $3.25 box = .47 per cup

Mini Meat Loaves


I seriously make 20 at a time. That’s 5 pounds of burger! They slice great for sandwiches if you have leftovers.
Ingredients:
1 Egg
3/4C Milk
1C Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2C Chopped Onion
1/2C Dry Oatmeal
1tsp Salt
1 lb Ground Beef
Mix ingredients together in order given and shape into 4 loaves
Topping
Combine 1/2CKetchup with 1/2Cup Brown Sugar and 1tsp Mustard. Top each loaf completely and bake @350 for 45Min.
Notes: You can use Ground Turkey but omit or reduce the milk.
I like to put my loaves in a rack over a foil lined pan. It allows the grease to drain away and makes clean up a breeze.
Enjoy!

4 -6 ghost-shaped peeps marshmallows (may also use cats or pumpkins)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix together cake mix, water, oil, and eggs according to package directions.

If you use a dark or coated pan, do your baking at 325°F.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven for approx 35 minutes (38-40 minutes for dark or coated pans) or until cake is done.

Allow cake to cool in the pan.

Spread frosting evenly on cooled cake.

Using gel frostings, write sayings on 1/2 of the milano cookies (some sayings might be"Justin Tyme","Yul B Next","RIP","M T Tomb","Will B Back","Barry M Deep", etc).

Press 1/2 of cookie down into cake and icing to resemble a standing tombstone.

Arrange ghost marshmallows in a standing position on top of cake.

Scatter candies and/or sprinkles or sugars on cake to garnish.

Halloween Eyeball Cookies



1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
12 ounces white dipping chocolate
1/2 cup mini chocolate chip
blue food coloring

Directions:

Cream the butter and peanut butter together.

Beat in the vanilla and sugar.

Chill for 1/2 hour.

Roll into small balls, chill on wax paper for another 1/2 hour.

In a microwave, melt the white dipping chocolate.

Using two spoons dip the eyeballs into the white chocolate.

Let cool on waxed paper until firm. Chilling will speed up the process.

Pour a drop or two of blue food coloring into the remaining melted chocolate.

Make a round iris on the eyeball, and immediately press a miniature chocolate chip in the center for a pupil, doing 5 at at time.

For the bloodshot effect, dip the tiny end of a toothpick in red food colouring and squiggle the lines from the pupil outward, but not quite to the edges of the ball.

These are quite tasty--considering how creepy they are.

Note: White dipping chocolate is also known as white bark.

Severed Fingers Halloween Cookies



2 tablespoons red food coloring
30 blanched almonds
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:

Heat oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with Silpats (French nonstick baking mats) or parchment paper, and set aside.

Place food coloring in a shallow bowl. crack each whole almond into halves. and toss them into the bowl with the food coloring and stir them until the color is evenly distributed. leave them in the bowl and stir them every so often until the color is as dark as you like.

Separate 1 egg. Set aside the white. In a small bowl, whisk together yolk, remaining egg, and vanilla. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter, confectioners' sugar, granulated sugar, and salt. Beat on medium speed until well combined. Add egg mixture, and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the flour, and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Wrap the dough in plastic, and chill until firm, 20 to 30 minutes.

Divide the dough in half. Work with one piece at a time, keeping remaining dough covered with plastic wrap and chilled. Divide the first half into fifteen pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece back and forth with palms into finger shapes, 3 to 4 inches long. Pinch dough in two places to form knuckles. Score each knuckle lightly with the back of a small knife. Transfer fingers to prepared baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.

When all fingers are formed, brush lightly with egg white. Position almond nails; push into dough to attach.

Bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.

note: To make the knuckles more creepy just shape them big and uneven. To keep them from puffing out too much roll the fingers extra skinny (skinnier than you want them to look if that makes sense). I also try to get them out of the oven before they brown. I sometimes add a bit of almond extract to dough.
