Pretzel Bites

Oh my are these things delicious. You could dip them in anything. I make a very simple pizza sauce for them. Matt has had me make these two days in a row. They are really easy and a fun snack, dinner, or whatever. Enjoy!

Chinese Food

So I have made this meal a couple times and Matt always wants more. It is really good and not to hard. I am putting the three different recipe links on here. It makes quite a bit of food. Hope you enjoy!

Sweet and Sour Chicken this recipe and the wraps are on the same post. The wraps come first.

Ginger Chicken Lettuce Wraps I also make a batch of white rice to stick in with the wraps.

Eclair Creme Puffs

A lady in our ward just gave this recipe to us. They have been a hit at the ward parties and are always the first thing to go. Haven't tried them yet but thought they sounded so yummy. You'll have to try them out too.

DIRECTIONS:

Boil and mix well:
1 cup water
1 stick butter
1 cup flour
Pinch of salt

Add:
4 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Drop by heaping teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 25-30 minutes at 400*. Cook until really golden brown.

Filling:
6 oz vanilla instant pudding
2 ½ cups milk
1 pint heavy cream

Mix pudding with milk for 2 minutes. Chill. Whip cream, chill separately. Combine and chill some more.

Chocolate Glaze:
4 TB cocoa
3 TB + 1 tsp water
2 TB oil or 2T butter ( I like to do half and half for flavor and sheen)
2 TB corn syrup

Combine in small sauce pan over low heat until smooth. Add 2 cups powdered sugar. Add more powdered sugar if needed to help it set on top of the éclairs. Cover éclairs immediately while the glaze is hot.
