Cake Batter Blondies
~1 box yellow cake mix
~1/4 cup canola oil
~1 egg
~1/3 – 1/2 cup milk
~1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
~1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 F.Combine the first four ingredients in a large bowl. Add the milk slowly – you want the batter to remain as dense as possible so they are more of a “blondie” and not a cake. Mix in the rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips. Bake for 25-30 minutes in a 8×8 pan at 350 degrees. (It is okay if they don’t seem completely done. They will set up more as they cool.)
Very yummy!!

Creamy Shrimp and Mushroom Pasta
~ 8 oz box fettuccine
~10 tbsp butter, divided
~8 oz fresh, sliced mushrooms
~2 garlic cloves, minced
~3 oz cream cheese, cut into small pieces
~2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
~1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
~2/3 cup boiling water (from your noodle pot)
~1 lb cooked shrimp (I used frozen)
Boil water and cook pasta. I only used half of the 8 oz box. Cook shrimp, or thaw under hot water if using frozen.In a large skillet melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat and saute mushrooms until soft and brown. Season with salt and pepper.Reserve cooked mushrooms and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Add minced garlic, cream cheese, and herbs. The cream cheese looks kind of funny, but don't worry about it, it will work out when you add the water. Simmer cream cheese mixture until well blended. Get a scoop of boiling pasta water from your noodle pot and mix it in, stirring quickly to smooth out the sauce. Keep sauce hot and add shrimp and mushrooms, mix well and simmer (stirring often) until everything is hot and thickened, about 10 minutes. Add cooked noodles. Enjoy!

Strawberry Pretzel Jello Salad
2 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup butter, melted
3 Tbsp sugar
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
16 oz cool whip
1 (6 oz) box strawberry jello

3 cups strawberries, sliced
Combine melted butter and sugar. Stir in the crushed pretzels. Press in bottom of a 9x13 pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool. In bowl combine cream cheese, sugar, and cool whip. Beat until smooth. Spread over pretzel crust. Make sure to get the cream mixture tight against the edges of the pan to prevent the jello mixture from seeping through.Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove from stove and add jello. Stir until Jello is dissolved. Add sliced strawberries. Pour over cream layer and put in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
I'm not really sure about this recipe. I would definitely leave out the pretzel crust if I made this again. The cool whip/cream cheese mixture with the strawberries and Jello was really good tho!

Pineapple Right-Side-Up Cookie Bars
I've been reading the Hannah Swensen series by Joanne Fluke. One of the reasons I started reading them is because each book has recipes in it. I've gotten a few of my "new recipes" including this one from these books.

~1/2 cup sugar
~1/2 cup frozen concentrated pineapple juice

Mix eggs with sugar. Add pineapple juice and crushed pineapple. Mix. Add salt and baking powder. Mix. Add flour, mix well. (It will be runny!) Pour mixture on top of pan you just baked. Put back in oven another 45-50 mins. Cool. Then cut into bars.
After they were done I put the rest of the can of crushed pineapple on top of them. That part is not in the recipe, but I thought it would make them even better! ;)
7-Up Biscuits

Oreo Puddin' Poke Cake
~Box of Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix (stuff to make cake according to directions on box)
~2 (8 oz) packages instant oreo pudding
~ crushed oreo cookies
Make cake according to directions. When cake is almost done make pudding. Do not let pudding set! You want it to slightly thicken but not all the way. Poke holes in cake using the end of wooden spoon handle. Pour pudding over cake. ( I let pudding sit about a minute after making it before pouring it on) Set cake in fridge about an hour. Top with crushed cookies!!

SOOO YUMMY!!! :)
