Love the Treasured Family Recipes Kit! Great Idea!
wow, that was a lot of blog hopping but I made it! Hurray! Here is my recipe..a must have at all family gatherings.
Hawaiian Chicken Salad
2 10 oz cans of white chicken meat
1 package of ranch dressing mix
8 oz of mayo- the real stuff!
8 oz of sour cream- again, don't go fat free
Mix is all together and refrigerate overnight (it won't taste the same if it doesn't sit for a while)
Get a round loaf of Hawaiian bread and tear our the center to make a bowl. Pour the chicken salad in the bread bowl. Use Hawaiian dinner rolls torn into bite size pieces to put the chicken salad on. Simple but delicious.
Love, love, love these recipe kits! I'm making my kids recipe albums for for Christmas with all of my favorite recipes, so this would be perfect!
I'm sharing two recipes on my blog at: http://stampingwithgrandmalee.blogspot.com/2009/11/creative-cuts-more-our-favorite-recipes.html

What a great blog hop. I have a drink recipe to share:
Bourbon Slushies
2 tea bags
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup sugar
6 oz. frozen orange juice
6 oz. frozen lemonade
3 1/2 cup cold water
1 cup bourbon
Put tea in boiling water until tea is strong.
Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
Add orange juice and lemonade and water and bourbon.
Stir well and put in a large container and freeze.
To serve place slush in the glass and add Sprite or 7UP and stir.
I often double the recipe as it freezes very well and goes fast.
Here is my favorite recipe: Mushroom risotto. I've become a wild mushroom hunter and make it with wild mushrooms (chanterelles, bear's head mushrooms, hen of the woods, etc.) but you can also use store bought: I suggest the white button mushrooms and oyster mushrooms.
2 packs button mushrooms
1/2 lb to 1 lb oyster mushrooms
2 cups risotto
6-7 cubes of chicken broth
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
Heat pan with olive oil and add mushrooms. After mushrooms are cooked, add 2 cups of risotto. Start adding 1 cup chicken broth (combine 1 cube with cup water). As the water gets absorbed, keep adding more chicken broth until the rice is soft and edible and most of the liquid is absorbed. After it's completed, add 1/2 to 1 cup parmesean cheese.
Hope you enjoy - it's one of my favorite recipes, and because there's no cream, it's not that bad for you either. (and did you know mushrooms are one of the top 10 flu-fighting foods??)

I blog hopped and then put my recipe "Dorito Pie" on my blog and here is the link
http://www.junqueandroses.blogspot.com

1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
6 Hershey Bars
Heat oven to 350 degress and grease 9 x 13" pan. Mix butter, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla. Blend in flour and salt. Press evenly in bottom of pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven; immediately place candy bars on top. When melted spread over evenly. While warm cut into bars.

1 can rotel
2-3 cans chicken broth or bouillon cubes
seasoning
Boil chicken in broth or bouillon until done. Remove chicken from liquid and set aside. Boil noodles in chicken stock/liquid until tender. Cube or shred chicken. In a pot on stovetop, combine cubed velveeta, rotel, crm chicken, and crm mushroom. Mix over low heat until melted and mixed well. In 9x13 inch glass dish, combine noodles, chicken, and mixture from pot. Stir together, add shredded cheese to top, and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot.

I made it to all of the artists blogs and I am amazed at the fabulous work. This is such a great holiday gift idea during these rocky financial times!! I know what my son and daughter are going to be getting for Christmas from their mom, all their childhood and current favorite recipes. So here is one of our favorite chicken on the grill recipes. I had something similar at a restaurant in Mammoth and played around with the ingredients, it tasted exactly as we all remembered.
Jamacian Jerk Quava Chipolte Chicken
3/4 Cup Jamacian Jerk Marinade (I use Lawrys)
2 Tbl Guava Jelly (Smuckers)
1-2 tsp Adobo sauce (from a can of Chipotle chiles packed in adobo sauce)
1 Package boneless chicken breasts (or thighs if you prefer)
In a saucepan add the 3/4 cup of jerk marinade, 2 Tbl Guava jelly, and start with one teaspoon of adobo sauce. Whisk in small sauce pot until hot. Taste. If you like it hotter you can add a little more chipotle adobo sauce to pan. Cool to room temperature. Cut the chicken breasts into cubes that you will later put on a skewer. Marinate chicken in half the jerk/guava/chipotle adobo sauce for a few hours. The skewer meat with or without veggies of your choice. Place skewers over indirect heat on the BBQ and baste with remaining marinade. Cook for five minutes a side and rotate a quarter turn every five minutes for 20 minutes. If you are like us, make extra marinade for dipping the cooked chicken in. I made 12 pounds of these skewers for the last 4th of July block party and they were a huge hit!
Thanks ladies for the fabulous art work and recipes.

I left my recipe yesterday. Here is the link to my blog.
I am totally wowed by the awesomeness of these recipe book ideas!! Now I know what "handmade" item I'm making my family this Christmas!! Many thanks! I don't have a blog (eee gads!) but would love to be entered to win blog candy... and here's one of my favorite family recipes:
CrockPot Pasta Fagioli Recipe
--1 pound lean ground beef, browned and drained
--1/2 large red onion, chopped
--1 cup carrots, chopped
--2 celery stalks, sliced
--2 cans (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (and juice)
--1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
--1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
--4 cups beef broth (check label for gluten!)
--1 jar (16.5 oz) pasta sauce
--2 tsp oregano
--1 T Tabasco sauce
--1/2 tsp salt
--1/4 tsp black pepper
--1/2 cup dry pasta, to add at end of cooking time (I used TJ's brown rice fusilli)
The Directions.
Use a 6 quart or larger crockpot, or cut the recipe in half. This makes a lot.
Brown the meat on the stovetop, and drain well. Let it cool a bit.
Chop up the carrots, onion, and celery. Add it to the empty crockpot.
Drain and rinse the beans, and add them. Add the whole cans of tomatoes, and the pasta sauce. Add the beef broth. Add the salt, pepper, oregano, and Tobasco sauce. Stir in your meat.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 4. When the vegetables are tender, stir in the 1/2 cup of dry pasta.
Cover and cook for another hour on low, or until the pasta is tender. It will swell quite a bit.
Serve with a bit of parmesan cheese if you have it.
