Grilled Panko Chicken Skewers

So Yummy!
2 chicken breasts
your favorite marinade
Panko bread crumbs
whatever you like to used on your kabobs ( we used pickles and it was soo good!)

Cut chicken up into cubes. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes. Skewer your kabobs. Coat chicken in bread crumbs. Once grill is ready, spray grate with cooking spray. Grill chicken about 12 minutes. Try and not rotate too many times, because the crumbs will begin to fall off. We get so tired of eating juts grilled chicken and this changes it up a bit. The crumbs hold the juice in and give it an extra crunch when you bite into the chicken. Hope ya'll enjoy!

Guacamole and Homeade Potato Chips




The first time I had ever tasted this was at Bunco. Sam made it and I fell in love! I am not sure I had ever had fresh guacamole until this point. We paired this with homeade potato chips. Divine!

2 large or 4 small avocados
cilantro to taste
hot sauce of your choice to taste (we use Louisiana and Sam uses Tabasco)
salt to taste
1 large or 2 small tomatoes
1 large purple onion

Chop avocados, tomatoes, and onions leaving them in chunks. Add remaining ingredients and mash together with a fork.

To make potato chips start by washing your potatoes. We used 4 Russet potatoes and it was plenty for 4 people. Use a mandolin to slice potatoes thin. Fry them in veggie oil. Remove from oil and let cool and drain on a plate with paper towel.

Homeade Oreos

You must try this! It is so oooey and gooey and you will absolutely love them!

1 box of devil's food cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup of oil

8 oz cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup of butter
4 cups of powered sugar

Mix cake mix, eggs, and oil. Roll the dough into balls (a little bit bigger than a quarter). Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Let cool to warm on cookie sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack. To make the cream use a mixer to combine butter and cream cheese. Add vanilla. Then add powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached. Pour cream into a piping bag (or a ziploc and cut a whole into the tip) and cream half of the cookies. Take the other half of the cookies and place on top of cream. Get a large glass of milk and sit down and enjoy!
