Seasoned Red Potatoes

We had these for Easter dinner and they were delish.  I (of course) couldn't just do them the way the recipe instructs, so I added a bit more olive oil (didn't want them to be too dry) and some dried parsley.  I also had bigger red potatoes, so I cut each one into 5-6 large pieces.

Ingredients

• 12 to 14 small red potatoes
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

• Peel a strip from around each potato. Place potatoes in an ungreased 3-qt. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the oil, butter and seasonings; drizzle over potatoes.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350°, for 50-55 minutes or until tender, stirring every 15 minutes. Yield: 6 servings.

Homemade Oreos

These are sooo good!

Homemade Oreos

2 boxes of Devil Food cake mix
1 1/2 cups Crisco
4 eggs

Combined all ingredients together and mix until well blended. Roll dough into little balls ( about the size of a quarter) and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 7-8 minutes. Let cool.

Filling

3 cups powder sugar
4 oz soften cream cheese
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup butter (melted)

Combine all ingredients and beat well. It’s always fun to use a little food coloring in the filling to make these a festive treat!

After the cookies have cooled, put the filling into the middle of two cookies and squish together until you have a Oreo!!! Repeat and enjoy!
