Honey Mustard Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. If they are overly thick, slice them in half.
1/3 c butter, melted
1/3 c honey
2 Tbsp of mustard - I used just regular mustard. Recipe says you can use dijon if you prefer the taste of it.
1/4 tsp salt

Tenderize meat. Mix up sauce. Pour sauce over chicken in a glass baking dish. Bake in oven - 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour. Baste every 15 minutes - I actually just turned the chicken every 15 minutes. Delicious with mashed potatoes.

Oreo Cookie Dessert

1 package Oreo's crushed - mix with 1/4 cup melted butter. Set aside 1/2 cup or so for topping.
Press crumbs into 9 x 13 pan - freeze until solid (usually 1 hour)
1 quart ice cream - slice and spread over Oreo crust. Freeze one hour.
1 Jar Mrs. Richardson's hot fudge topping - spread and freeze one hour.
Top with 12 oz container of cool whip. Sprinkle remaining Oreo's on top. Freeze over night.

YUMMY! As for the choice of ice cream, we really like it with peppermint ice cream but you can use mint chocolate chip, chocolate chip, vanilla, or whatever you would like.

Swedish Meatballs

1 lb ground beef
1/2 c oats
1 egg
1/3 c onion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp worchestershire sauce
1/3 c milk
pepper

Mix and form into balls. Put whatever sauce you want on them. Cover and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes. The meatballs actually remind me a little bit of mom's meatloaf recipe. Mason really likes these.

The original recipe for sauce was:
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c vinegar
2 tsp mustard
1/2 c BBQ sauce

It was ok, but we ended up liking Joyce's meatloaf sauce better which is ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Of course our FAVORITE thing to put on meatballs is a jar of "Homemade Chili Sauce" (found in most Utah grocery stores) and a small jar of grape jelly. Yum...

Seasoned Red Potatoes

12-14 small red potatoes - scrubbed and cut into 1 inch cubes. (I used about 6-8 bigger red potatoes)
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c melted butter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp pepper

Place potatoes in ungreased 9x13 glass baking dish. In a bowl, combine oil, butter, and seasonings. Drizzle over potatoes. Bake uncovered 350 for 50 minutes to an hour, or until tender. Stir every 15 minutes.

Rosemary Apricot Chicken

Marinate:
2 Tb rosemary leaves
4 cloves garlic (minces)
2 tsp. salt
1/4 c olive oil
1/2 tsp. pepper


Glaze:
1/2 c apricot jam
2 tsp. Dijon mustard

Rub marinate all over chicken and chill at least 1 hour. Grill the chicken and put the glaze on the chicken the last 10 minutes the chicken is on the grill. If you bake the chicken, add the glaze right away and bake at 350 for about 1 hour.

Bekki Dahl-Pope Rolls

Combine these ingredients:
1 cup scalded milk
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp salt

Dissolve 1 Tbsp yeast in 1/4 cup lukewarm water. Add to mixture above.
Add 1 beaten egg
Add 4 cups of flour, one cup at a time. Dough should be a little sticky and not tough. Let rise for at least 1 hour.

Roll our dough to be approximately 1/4 to 1/3 inch high. Cut out rolls using a cup or jar that is approximately 3 inches diameter. Spread small amount of butter on roll then fold in half and push edges together with one thumb. Place on baking sheet. Edges should be slightly touching. I usually put 3 rolls across a pan. Let rise for another 15 minutes or so. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. I can't tell you how many rolls this makes. For our family gatherings I double the batch. Good luck!
