YUMMY MUMMY RECIPE

Mom of three

I have recently switched from stay at home mom to working mom, but I still love to cook and make yummy things for my friends and family. Now that I work I am always on the look for things that I can make without hours in the kitchen but still taste homemade. There is never a reason to sacrifice taste.

With the Super Bowel approaching I thought it would be fun share a couple of my easy crowd pleasing recipes.
Oreo Yums-

1 pkg of Oreos

1 - 8oz pkg of cream cheese

1 – pkg chocolate or white chocolate Almond Bark

Crush the entire package of Oreos with potato masher or food processer (Mashing is a kid friendly job if you have help in the kitchen). Add the entire package of cream cheese and mix into the crushed Oreos. The mix will start out looking like dirt and then as the cream cheese mixes in it will start to look wet and sticky. After it is fully mixed roll into quarter size balls. For the best results freeze the balls for at least an hour before dipping. Melt Almond Bark in the microwave or by using a double boiler on the stove top. Remember to lay out wax paper to set the balls on after they have been dipped. The easiest way to dip the balls in the chocolate is by using toothpicks. After dipped set on wax paper and allow Oreo Yums to dry.


This recipe is versatile feel free to try different things with it. During Christmas I bought candy cane flavored Oreos and it tasted delicious. You can really use any flavor Oreo or sandwich cookie. If you want to use for a Valentines or Super Bowel party one could use the white Almond Bark and add your favorite food coloring.

I made this recipe for my daughter and her friends and they ate them before the chocolate could even dry. My husband, who doesn’t usually like chocolate, loves them too.

Sly’s Bean Dip
My family loves Mexican food or anything closely related. My grandmother-in-law always made a yummy bean dip that quickly disappeared. I was surprised when I finally watched her make it, what a simple recipe it was. I have added a few things to make it my own over the years but it is still delicious and simple as ever.

1 can refried beans
2 big tablespoons of Miracle Whip
¼ cup Picante Sauce
¼ shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 350. In a medium size bowl mix the first three ingredients. Pour into small baking dish and bake for 10-15 min. Remove and add cheese, place back in oven until cheese is bubbly. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
This recipe can be spicy or mild depending on your family’s taste. You can add Tabasco or jalapeños if you have a taste for the spicy. If you like it milder, forget the picante and add extra cheese. My grandmother-in-law usually warmed it up in the microwave, which is great if you have hungry unexpected friends or family.
