Cheesy chicken, spinach shells recipe :) Love, love, love! Ingredients 1 (12-ounce) box uncooked jumbo pasta shells (if all of yours survive the boil this is enough, to be safe you may want 1 1/2 boxes) 2 cups chopped cooked chicken 2 cups fresh chopped spinach 1 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 (15oz) container ricotta cheese 2 (8oz) packages cream cheese, softened (I think you could get away with one package) 1 (5oz) package shredded Parmesan cheese (about 1 2/3 cups) 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1 Tablespoon dried parsley flakes 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided 1 (26oz) jar prepared spaghetti sauce (this was just enough. If you like it saucier use more) Instructions Cook shells according to package directions. Be careful not to overcook them or they will tear easily when trying to fill them. Drain and set shells out individually on a cutting board or baking sheet so that they don’t stick together. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease two 9x13 baking dishes. In a large bowl, combine chicken and all the rest of the ingredients except mozzarella and spaghetti sauce. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella. Spoon into shells. *Tip: For easier filling, fill a gallon ziplock baggie with the filling and snip a quarter size hole off the corner of the bag. Then you can just pipe the filling into the shells. Spread half of spaghetti sauce into prepared baking dishes. Arrange shells over sauce; top with remaining sauce. Cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. If you are freezing one of the 9x13 prepared pans, freeze it after this step. Include a baggy of the remaining mozzarella for when you cook it. Bake, covered, for 40 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Bake for 5 to 10 more minutes. Makes 8-10 servings.

No bake banana cheesecakes! This recipe is so easy to make and tastes like you've been slaving away on it for hours. :) INGREDIENTS: 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (divided; you can also use crushed Nilla Wafers) 3 tbs. unsalted butter, melted 1 8-ounce package reduced fat cream cheese, softened 1 .9-ounce package JELL-O fat free sugar free banana cream instant pudding 1 1/3 cup skim milk 1 8-ounce tub Lite Cool Whip Optional Toppings: Cool Whip, nuts, graham cracker crumbs, sliced banana DIRECTIONS: Divide the graham cracker crumbs evenly amongst your individual serving bowls (I used 6). Carefully drizzle the melted butter over the crumbs in each bowl. This will help the crumbs set. Stick the bowls into the freezer. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk. Let set for about 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and pudding. Fold in the Cool Whip until well-combined. Remove the bowls from the freezer. Spoon or pipe the filling evenly into each serving bowl. Place the bowls into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (I like to do mine overnight). Garnish with extra Cool Whip and any other desired garnishes.

Oreo Pudding Cookies! Such a delicious way to get your fix! It's like magic in my mouth :) Ingredients ½ cup butter, softened ⅓ cup brown sugar ½ cup granulated sugar 1 (4.2 oz) package Oreo pudding mix 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 egg ¾ teaspoon baking soda ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour 15 Oreo cookies ¾ cup white chocolate chips Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together the butter and both sugars. Add the egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and pudding mix. Gently mix into the sugar and butter mixture until you no longer see any flour streaks in the dough. Stir in 13 broken pieces of Oreo cookies. Roll the cookie dough into medium balls onto a cookie sheet. (I use a medium cookie scoop.) Gently flatten the tops with your palm. Bake for 11-12 minutes on the lowest shelf in your oven. (Prevents over baking the tops.) Allow the cookies to finish “baking” on the hot pan for additional 5 minutes when taken out of the oven. Melt chocolate pieces over a double boil. (Chocolate is in a heat safe bowl setting over a pot of hot water. Do not let the water touch the bowl.) Drizzle the melted white chocolate over all of the cookies when they cooled. Sprinkle tiny broken pieces of the other 2 Oreos. Enjoy!

Jalapeno Popper Dip! Takes me back to my childhood days watching the Superbowl with my family. :) Ingredients 6-8 slices of bacon, diced and cooked crispy 2 8-oz packages of cream cheese, soft 1 cup of mayonnaise 4-6 jalapeno's, chopped and deseeded. The seeds will make it fiery hot. 1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded 1/4 cup diced green onion Topping: 1 cup of crushed crackers ( I used Ritz) 1/2 cup parmesan cheese 1/2 stick of butter, melted Directions Preheat oven to 350. Combine all of the ingredients into a medium bowl. Stir well. Transfer to an oven proof dish. The size of the dish depends on how thick the dip is. The thicker the dip the longer it may need to warm up. I used a stoneware dish that is round and measures 12 inches across. My dip is usually about an inch thick. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle all over the top of the dip. Bake the dip for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly.
