8 tbs (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

preheat oven to 350. grease baking sheets with butter.

mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.

in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. turn off the mixer and scrape down the bowl with a spatula. add 1 egg and beat on medium speed until blended. add the other egg and vanilla and beat until blended. turn off the mixer and add the flour mixture. beat on low speed just until blended.

using a tablespoon, scoop up a rounded spoonful of dough and roll it into a ball. roll the ball in the confectioner's sugar until covered. place balls on prepared baking sheet.

bake the cookies until the crackled and puffed (about 10 to 12 minutes). transfer to wire rack.

Crock Pot Lasagna

My friend Emily posted a recipe for crock pot lasagna... I thought it sounded good although I haven't tried it yet. It looks pretty easy too. Click here to view it.

Just layer lasagna noodles, browned meat, cheese, cottage cheese and sauce. Repeat, and top off with some more cheese! She said she cooks it on low for about 2 hours.

Pizza Wheels

So at my bridal shower my mom gave me this cookbook, called cooking for two. Its way awesome for being newlyweds. Anyway, we decided to try out this recipe last night called pizza wheels. They weren't amazing or anything but they were easy and i'll probably do them again.

All you need is 8-10 refrigerator biscuits, grated cheese, spaghetti sauce, and any toppings you like. Press down the biscuits til they're flat, spread some spaghetti sauce on them, and sprinkle with cheese and toppings. Bake on 400 for 10 minutes.

Easier than pie! or cake!

Apple Bread

Description:
This bread is so good and so easy to make. I also think the best part is how good your house smells after you make this. I think it's our new favorite. Grating the apples takes the longest...and make sure you peal and core them before you grate them!

Ingredients:
1 1/4 C oil
2 eggs
2 C sugar
1t cinnamon
1t baking soda
1t salt
3 C flour
1/2-1 C nuts (Optional)
3 C grated apples

Directions:
Mix everything together. Pour into 2 greased and floured loaf pans. Bake at 325 for 1 hour.

Number Of Servings: 2 Loafs

Hot Pockets

1 can of biscuit dough (like Cresant Roll dough - you can use either Cresant Roll dough or the cheaper kind that is about $0.50 or so)
Cheese
Meat (lunch meat works well)

Usually the cans of biscuits that we use have 10 biscuits in them. You will need two biscuits for each hot pocket.

Flatten the biscuits so they are about 1/2 inch thick
Add cheese and meat
Put another biscuit on top and seal the edges. Cook according to directions on the biscuit package (Usually about 400 degrees 8-10 minutes) or until the biscuits are starting to turn brown.

Nachos

Nachos
Ingredients
1 small block of Velveeta cheese cubed (the nachos kind if you want more spicey or if you don't, just regular will work)

Mix everything together adding salsa to taste. You can either put this all in a crockpot or it can be done in a microwave (stir about every three minutes if you use the microwave). You may need to add a little bit of milk if it is too thick. Eat with tortilla chips. YUMM!
