Mickey and Minnie Oreo Cupcakes

I got this recipe from a friend in my class, but as I was looking over it, I realized that the recipe for the cupcakes is the same recipe for Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake.  You just bake them for 20 minutes at 325.  The icing I used is just a block of cream cheese, softened, a tub of Cool Whip, and five crushed Oreos.  To make them look like Mickey and Minnie, I just used one big Oreo for the head and two mini Oreos for the ears.  Add a bow for Minnie and Voila! Finito!  We LOVE them!

Garlic Cheese Bread

I received this recipe from one of our dear CES missionaries serving in WV when we were first married.  They even came to our wedding reception.  I will always think of Sister Workman when I make this recipe. I took this over to Nana and Papa's last night for spaghetti with Uncle Jim and family.  Everyone loved it.

1 loaf French Bread, sliced lengthwise
1 pound Tillamook cheese, grated (Sis. Workman said any sharp cheese works, so I use sharp cheddar as it is cheaper and more easily found in the stores.)
1 medium jar Mayonnaise
Garlic powder to taste

Mix all ingredients and spread evenly on sliced bread.
Heat in oven (350) until the cheese melts and the mixture begins to bubble.

Oatmeal PB and M&M Cookies

1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 tsp. light corn syrup
4 1/2 cups oats
2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup mini M&M's
Beat sugars and butter, then add the rest of the ingredients, saving oatmeal and chocolate for last.  Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until done.
Note: I have doubled the chocolate chips when I don't have the M&M's and they are still just as good!
2nd Note: These are gluten free! I always make them when Kaela's friend who is gluten free comes over.  They are a huge hit!

Pumpkin Roll Bars

These are just as good as the original Pumpkin Roll, but without all the work.  So yummy! (Found the recipe on therecipecritic.com)

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1½ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin
¼ cup water
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Cream Cheese Filling
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and 1½ cups sugar until smooth. Beat in 2 eggs, pumpkin, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and water until well blended.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin/butter mixture and combine until well blended.
Spread about ⅔ of the batter evenly into the prepared pan.In a bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese, 1 egg, ¼ cup sugar, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla until smooth.
Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the pumpkin batter. Dollop the remaining pumpkin batter over the cream cheese batter and spread out as evenly as possible. Use a table knife to swirl together the cream cheese and top layer of pumpkin batter.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center of the pumpkin batter springs back when touched. Cool completely in pan, then cut into bars. Refrigerate any leftovers. These are yummy warm, but I like them cold from the fridge too!
