Sue Winter Dessert

This recipe is from Scott's family and is a huge favorite.  He loves having this for his birthday dessert.  I also just love the name since it is fitting for the cold dessert. (Here is a confession: I would love to be remembered for a delicious recipe!) 3 rows of Oreos (reduced fat or store brand are ok) 1-2 T water 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened 1 jar Mrs Richardson's Hot Fudge topping 8 oz Cool Whip Crush about 3 rows from a package of Oreos (reduced fat or store brand work just fine). Reserve some crumbs for the top.  Sprinkle the remaining crumbs with 1 or 2 tablespoons of water and stir them until they are moist. Press  in the bottom of a 9x13" pan.  Freeze for 1 hour.  Top with 1/2 gallon of softened vanilla ice cream. Freeze for 1 hour.  Top with one jar of Mrs. Richardson's Hot Fudge topping. Freeze for 1 hour.  Top with Cool Whip and reserved crumbs and freeze again until ready to serve. Note from Valene, S...

Mustard Chicken

Marni, my sister, has mentioned this recipe to me for years and I finally asked for the recipe this summer.  I love the simpleness of the ingredients and the wonderful taste!  We have had it many times since we got the recipe. 1 Tb olive oil 1 1/2 Tb vinegar 1/6 Cup yellow mustard 1/6 Cup Dijon mustard Dash crushed red pepper 1-2 large chicken breast Combine first five ingredients into bag. Knead bag until ingredients are mixed well. Pound chicken so it is the same thickness which allows for even cooking on the grill. Marinate chicken in mustard mixture for at least 4 hours. Grill chicken over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until chicken is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165 F. Remove from grill and serve with desire sides. Side Ideas: Rice, noodles, or green salad.  Grilled vegetables.

Dehydrated Peaches

Scott's sister, Emily, introduced us to dehydrated peaches and we love to make them.  We dehydrated our peaches from our tree in our house in Lehi and can't wait until our Vineyard home peach tree is ready to give us peaches.  8 peaches (enough for my dehydrator and some to eat along the way) Food dehydrator Water Ice cubes Lemon juice Paper towels (or something to remove extra lemon juice:water solution) Start boiling water on stove top in stock pot with enough water to cover peaches.  As the water starts to boil, prepare ice bath (I just use one side of my sink with some water and ice cubes).   Blanch peaches by placing them in boiling water for 30-60 seconds.  Immediately, remove peaches and place in ice bath.   Remove skins from blanched peaches (skins should come off very easily) and cut into 5-8 slices per 1/4 peach. Dip cut peaches in lemon juice and water solution to keep from browning.   Remove from ...
