Super Simple Cherry Crisp

I found this recipe on the internet. I made it the other day to take to work for a birthday luncheon. It was delicious. And SO easy. I love the topping, so I doubled that part to put on top. (you can't have to much of the CRISP part, can you?) I served it with vanilla bean ice cream. You could also top with whipped topping or serve plain.



CHERRY CRISP
1 21OZ CAN CHERRY PIE FILLING


1/2 CUP FLOUR


1/2 CUP ROLLED OATS


2/3 CUP BROWN SUGAR


3/4 tsp CINNAMON


3/4 tsp NUTMEG


1/4 CUP CHOPPED PECANS


1/3 CUP MELTED BUTTER


Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 2 qt. baking dish. Pour pie filling into dish and spread evenly.


In a med. bowl, mix together flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix in melted butter. Crumble over pie filling. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.


Bake 30 min. or until the topping is golden brown. Allow to cool 15 min before serving.

I hope you try it-

January Cookin Night

Our January cookin night was a lot of fun. I learned we have a few cheesers in our group that love to ham it up for the pictures. Comfort food was the theme and did we ever feel comforted. I hope I remember all the dishes that were shared. We had crock pot meatloaf, homemade chicken noodle soup, homemade ZESTY kielbasa soup, pretzel salad, english toffee, lasagna soup, pumpkin cookies, cranberry pineapple salad, tater tot casserole, shepherds pie and a demo on how to make pull-apart bread. Everything was delicious. We had some new faces come and we are excited to get the word out. Thanks to everyone for sharing their recipes, ideas and for coming to learn, eat, and socialize.

Winter Coco Warmer

This is a recipe from our cookin chick Vicki--
Winter Cocoa Warmer
Almond Bark Coating--Vanilla Flavored
6 peppermint candy canes, or peppermint stick
Put 3 of candy canes into a plastic bag, and crush with rolling pin until fine.Melt 1/2 the package of almond bark and stir in the crushed candy cane. Pour out onto wax paper, and spread until it is in a thin layer, (about 1/4") let cool.Break into small pieces. Can store in a plastic bag in freezer, or a tin.Place 3-4 small pieces into your cocoa cup and stir, the chocolate will melt in and give your cocoa a light minty taste!
The almond bark comes in a package usually about 20-24 oz. in size. It looks like a giant chocolate bar with squares in it. You can find it in most grocery stores in thebaking aisle.
Take 1/2 the package and break it in to chunks. Place it in a bowl and melt in the microwave. You want to microwave it for 45 seconds, and stir then 45 seconds and stir. Repeat this until you can stir it smooth. DO NOT overheat it or it will sieze and turn into crumbles.Usually about the 3rd time you heat it, it is soft enough to stir it until it is smooth.
