Every Christmas, my mother, who should be a professional baker, makes a delectable desert called Georgia Street Squares. With the combination of chocolate, frosting, graham crackers, more chocolate, and other yummy ingredients, these babies call to you from the refrigerator. This year, for our staff Christmas party at work, a decided to make these treats for the first time. I did my best to document the process for my followers so that you too can make these yummy morsels at home!
This recipe involves three layers. Here is what you will need for the first one:
Graham Crackers, Walnuts, Sugar, Cocoa, Coconut, Uno Egg, Butter, and Vanilla Extract ( I hid it because I don't like the bottle...haha)
Before you do anything else, crush the graham crackers and mix in walnuts and coconut.
Combine a stick of butter with the sugar and cocoa in a double boiler. I finally got to use mine from the wedding! Thank you to my great aunt's!
Once the butter, sugar, and cocoa are melted, add those ingredients to the graham mixture and spread evenly across a 9x13 pan. Pyrex just happens to be my personal favorite.
That's Layer One! Now refrigerate it for about an hour.
Ding! Time for Layer Number Two! Here is what you will need:
Milk, Powdered Sugar, MORE Butter, and Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix.
Combine all ingredients in a mixer (mine would be the pink Kitchen Aid that my husband wants to paint) until they take on a frosting consistency.
Then layer that on top of the first layer evenly. Refrigerate for another hour!
The final layer is quite simple, oil and an entire bag of milk chocolate chips. Melt in the microwave, let it cool, then put on top of the first two layers. Then, you know the drill. Let it set up in the fridge for an hour.
Next you might want to consider gifting them to everyone you know because you will eat them all. Seriously. They are dangerous.
If you want the actual recipe, just leave a comment and I will send it to you!
Merry Christmas!!!!

Buffalo Style Chicken Cordon Bleu = DELICIOUS!
As the summer winds down and I start to mentally prepare myself to go back to work, I have realized how much I am going to miss having time during the day to look up new and exciting things to cook for dinner each evening. Today, I really realized this when I came upon this recipe:
Buffalo-Style Chicken Cordon Bleu
I followed the recipe pretty closely except for subbing turkey for ham and baking the dish instead of pan-frying it. It turned out GREAT!!!
For sides, I tried two new things! Needless to say, it was pretty daring of me...
I used barley (left side of plate) for a starch and followed this recipe:
Baked Barley - definitely follow the base of this recipe, but you could add any herbs or seasonings you like what ever matches the rest of your meal.
Then I made a creamed spinach...it's a Paula Deen recipe, so you know it's rich and yummy!!!
Eat Your Greens!
All three of these are recipes that anyone who has medium knowledge around their kitchen could make, and best of all, there are plenty of leftovers if you are just eating for two!
Till we eat again....

Not too shabby, if I must brag! I have always loved cooking, but this experience made me see what I could actually do in the kitchen! Here's the recipe...try it...you'll love it!!!
*Photo Note: If you like wine and want a good pairing, grab a bottle of Chateau St. Jean Merlot - random wine to choose, but excellent together!
