Reindeer Munch

This is one I clipped out of a magazine - I don't remember which one. Everyone at our house seems to like it!

Ingredients:
2 Cups Chex Rice Cereal
2 Cups Thin Pretzel Sticks
1 Cup Honey Roasted Peanuts
1 Cup Dried Cranberries
1 Cup M&Ms
1 Package Vanilla Flavored Candy coating

Directions:
Combine all ingredients, except the candy coating in a large bowl/container. Melt the candy coating according to package directions and pour over cereal mixture. Stir to get everything well coated then pour mixture on foil to harden. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

*This is really very flexible - I usually add more cranberries and m&ms than called for because that's what my gang likes!

Lucious Lumps

This is a cookie recipe from Dave's Mom, Carol. Dave loves these and I love how easy and Yummy they are!

Ingredients:
1 Cup butter
1/2 cup powdered (Confectioner's) Sugar
1/2 cup corn starch
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Cup sifted flour
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
1 Cup Chopped Walnuts

Directions:
Cream soft butter well. Add sugar, corn starch, and vanilla then blend well. Add flour until thoroughly blended. Add Chips, nuts, and mix. Drop on an ungreased cookie sheet by the teaspoon. Bake 20 minutes at 300 degrees.

*These need to be small or they crumble when they come off the cookie sheet - it also helps to let them cool a little while on the cookie sheet.

Grandmommy's Meatloaf

This is a recipe from my Grandmother... YUMMY!

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (Turkey works too)
1 small chopped onion
2 3ggs
2/3 cup quick oats
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 tsp oregeno
1 tsp salt
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp mustard
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp basil
1 tsp basil
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp Salt

Direction:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray bottom of loaf pan with cooking spray. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl, place in the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes.
One thing I like to do is buy the 15 oz can of tomato sauce instead of the baby can. I put half into the meatloaf and then pour the rest on top before baking. This one is a great leftover....
